Your Lake Constance GetawayThree Favourite Spots for Relaxing by the Water
Imagine a holiday at Lake Constance - surrounded by vineyards, charming towns, and lakeside beaches – you’ll spend your days by the water. The mornings are calm, the light warm and soft whilst sunlight dances across the lake and the first sailboats trace their paths on the mirror-like surface. If you love watching the scene from the shore, letting your mind wander, and taking a deep breath, these three favourite spots at Lake Constance are perfect for your personal escape.
Three Favourite Summer SpotsShort & Sweet
1
Lakeside Flavours: Haltnau Vineyard, Meersburg
At the Haltnau vineyard at Lake Constance, summer tastes like Käsespätzle (cheese spätzle), freshly caught fish, and a glass of local wine. Add a sunny spot and a gentle lake breeze, and suddenly it all feels like you’re holidaying in a postcard.

Barefoot in the Sand: Seeliebe Beach, Sipplingen
The sun on your face, sand between your toes, and a cool drink in-hand - at Seeliebe Beach, every summer day feels like a mini-holiday. Leave everyday worries behind, enjoy the lake view, and simply soak up the sun.

One swing, one panoramic view, one smile – that’s the giant swing in Überlingen’s lakeside park. As Lake Constance unfolds below, the breeze will awakes joyful childhood memories.
Enjoy the Vineyards, Lake, and SunshineThe Haltnau Winery in Meersburg
Nestled among the vineyards, the Haltnau Winery in Meersburg occupies a 15th century building belonging to the Spitalstiftung (the hospital foundation), and here the atmosphere is timeless: warm, relaxed, and simply beautifully down-to-earth.In the beer garden, you can taste wines from Konstanz’s hospital winery alongside light snacks such as Pinsa, salads, and Wurstsalat. And the restaurant and terrace serve refined cuisine typical of Lake Constance.Guests arriving by boat can moor in style at the estate’s private jetty Tip: Wine is, of course, available to take home.

Here you are sitting longer than planned
Life simply tastes better among vineyards, half-timbered houses and lakes.
Feel the Sea BreezeSeeliebe Beach in Sipplingen
Right at the waters’ edge is Seeliebe Beach in Sipplingen, which beckons thanks to its sand, wooden decks with seating, and swaying palm trees. Guests simply order at the counter while lounge music drifts over the relaxed setting. The menu offers Pinsa, pasta, burgers, and salads, along with cocktails and long drinks. Many arrive by bike or boat, while others head there after a swim – but all linger until the sun stops sparkling over the lake. Or maybe longer... Tip: Those who don't want the evening to end can stay overnight at the Seeliebe hotel right next door.

Sometimes, all it takes is a swing to leave everyday life behind, and in Überlingen’s lakeside park, the giant swing lets you do just that. With each arc, you rise a little higher - over the water, above your thoughts, into the heart of freedom. Your gaze stretches across Lake Constance, sailboats glide by, children laugh, and seagulls circle overhead. And you? You just keep swinging, feeling the wind, and rediscovering how light life can be.The lakeside park, created for the 2021 State Horticultural Show, has become a haven for small escapes: spread out a picnic blanket, take a deep breath, and savour the moment.Tip: The evening atmosphere becomes truly magical – as the light softens, the lake sparkles, and the swing transforms into a stage for unforgettable sunsets that are sure to give you goosebumps.
