Tettnang Hop Trail

Set off and let the Hopfenpfad (Hop Trail) guide you from the heart of Tettnang up to Siggenweiler – from brewer to farmer, from the first sip to the last hop blossom. You've barely left the pretty town center behind when the gentle ascent begins. With every step, the view widens, and soon the orchards of the hinterland, the deep blue Lake Constance, and the silhouettes of the Alps in the distance lie at your feet.

Along the way, you'll gain exciting insights into the world of hops: How does it grow, how is it harvested, and how does it become what foams in your glass? Perhaps you're someone who likes to hike first and then reward yourself? Here, you can easily do it the other way around. Treat yourself to a cool beer and a hearty snack in the Torstuben with a view of the Torschloss (Gate Castle) and the historic backdrop of the Bärenplatz (Bear Square) before your ascent.

Afterwards, the path awaits you, leading you past lush meadows, tall hop gardens, and small farm shops. There, you can stock up on fresh provisions directly from the farmer. At your destination, the Hopfengut N°20 awaits you – a place that brings the history of hops to life. In this episode of the Bodensee Podcast, you can dive deep into its history: https://bodensee-podcast.podigee.io/30-new-episode.

The return journey passes the Brünnensweiler Chapel – along narrow paths, under fragrant fruit trees, and through quiet woodlands.
