Lagoon circular walk at the mouth of the Rhine

Directions

At the Fußach Rheindamm (Rhine Dam), visitors can walk from the Wanderparkplatz (car park for walkers) along the roadway at the base of the embankment towards the lagoon. After the bend in the projecting estuary, it’s another 20-minute walk along the top of the embankment that presents beautiful views across the Obersee (Upper Lake Constance) and to the island town of Lindau. The route then follows the footpath that branches off to the left and continues along the west side of the lagoon – along the shore of the Fußacher Bucht (Fußach Bay) – before returning to the starting point.

Suggestions
