"The little man's Col du Lautaret" ;-) If you come from the north, you get it pretty much for free. From the lake, it is quite steep.

The highest elevation in Friedrichshafen, the Horach at 501.6m, with a playground behind the water tank and a viewing lounger. Easily accessible for trekking bikes too. Wonderful overview of the orchards of the Lake Constance panorama, also of the Haldenberg chapel and the zeppelins taking off and landing behind it.

The so-called "Gruberschlösschen" is a villa on the summit of the Hoyerberg. After Adolf Gruber inherited the Lindenhof estate from his brother in 1850, he acquired the vineyard – the eastern part of the Hoyerberg. Dora Gruber had a villa built on this vantage point in 1854 by the architect Christoph Kunkler from St. Gallen. The house bears similarities to the Schweizerhaus in Lindenhof Park, and the almost 15-meter-high, freestanding observation tower was built in the Italian style with a flat roof and an open top floor. On January 31, 1918, the Gruber family sold the Hoyerberg and the little castle to the municipality of Hoyren. Today, it is owned by the city of Lindau. Until the end of 2012, the castle housed a gourmet restaurant. Source: https://dewiki.de/Lexikon/Hoyren#Hoyerberg-Schl%C3%B6ssle_bzw._Gruber-Schl%C3%B6sschen
