Romanshorn

Romanshorn is a port town on Lake Constance with a working harbor handling cargo and passenger traffic. The municipality has a railway station and ferry terminal that connect the region across the border to Germany.

The first written record dates to 779, when the place appeared as Rumanishorn in a land grant to the Abbey of St. Gall. Its transformation into a shipping hub during the 1800s shaped its modern identity.

The Festival of Nations brings residents from different backgrounds together each year to share traditions and celebrate their diverse origins. This annual gathering shows how the community values its multicultural character.

The railway station provides connections across multiple lines, and the car ferry runs regular routes to Germany across the lake. Visitors can choose to arrive by train, car, or ferry depending on their travel plans.

The sports center operates year-round with ice rinks, water skiing facilities, and lakeside swimming areas that draw visitors from the surrounding region. This combination of recreational options makes it more than just a port town.
