Great beach, very well maintained. Right next door is the highly recommended "Wirtshaus am Strandbad."

The main flowering period for irises is from mid-May to early June. Most iris fields are located near the Eriskirch lido. Please stay on the paths. There were so many tracks visible in the meadows.
