Lake Constance is also affectionately referred to as the "Swabian Sea" in Swabia and is one of the most popular destinations in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Obsthof Moll - Unter den Obstbäumen
The beautiful Obsthof Moll is only a 20-minute drive from Lake Constance. The organic farm is run by the fourth generation and, like their grandfather, Patrick and Melli, who have been running the farm for a few years, ensure that the meadow orchards are preserved and that organic apples are sold. They also offer their apple orchards as a pitch for campers and thus offer the perfect starting point for excursions to Lake Constance or the region. On the pitch you are directly adjacent to the orchard with a view of the magnificent tall trees, ponies and on the other side on a large green meadow. In the lovingly furnished farm shop you will also find many apple-related products that come directly from the farm.
Pitch Facilities: Barrier-free, Animals allowed, No toilet, No electricity, No shower, No gray water disposal, No water connection, No day-to-day waste disposal
Types of vehicles: car with roof tent, camper, camper over 3 ½ tons, caravan

Badespaß am Bodensee
Lake Constance is worth a visit at any time of the year, but the summer months in particular are of course perfect for getting to know the Lake Constance region from its most beautiful side and not only getting to know the lake from the outside, but also from the inside with a refreshing swim.

Pfahlbauten Unteruhldingen
In Unteruhldingen you will feel a bit transported to another time and to the Maldives, because there you will find the replicas of a prehistoric settlement that once stood there on stilts in the water. You can walk over the jetties and get an idea of how people lived on the water back then. The Unteruhldingen pile dwellings are not only very beautiful to look at, but also extremely interesting!
