Lake Constance borders Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The lake is an excellent destination for a campervan trip for lovers of a mix of culture, nature and relaxing by the water.

Friedrichshafen - Germany

Friedrichshafen is also called the Zeppelin City. Here you will find the Zeppelin Museum. You will learn everything about the history of aviation. The museum is located in Friedrichshafen because airships were developed here in the past. If you would like to experience being flown around in a Zeppelin yourself, you can take off in a real Zeppelin NT and admire the impressive mountain panorama from above. If you prefer to keep both feet on the ground, you can also take a guided tour of the shipyard.

In the rest of the city there are also many beautiful locations that you will discover during your visit with a motorhome. The Castle Church, for example, is a well-known Friedrichshafen landmark. If you are visiting with a motorhome during the summer months, you can take a refreshing dip in the lake. After a long day, you can relax in the beer garden Stärrschorsch, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the water with a good beer in your hand. There are also several beautiful walks in the area, including the 9.5-kilometre Ailinger Panorama Road. During this route, you will regularly be treated to beautiful views of Lake Constance and you will pass the highest point of Friedrichshafen.

In Friedrichshafen you can spend the night with your camper van at Stellplatz Friedrichshafen.
