Day

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.

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. There are countless beautiful lidos where you can spend unforgettable summer days and if it should be a bit chilly, four different thermal baths invite you to relax.
