Radolfzell am Bodensee

Radolfzell am Bodensee is a town with six districts that stretches along the western shore of Lake Constance and offers the longest accessible waterfront section of the lake. The railway station connects the High Rhine Railway with the Hegau-Ablach Valley Railway and creates transport links throughout the region.

The settlement began in 826 when Bishop Radolf of Verona founded a monastic cell. In 1267 the place received town status and was equipped with fortifications.

The Gothic Cathedral Unserer lieben Frau shows a Baroque interior from the 18th century with a Rosary altar and relics of local saints. Visitors can see how different architectural periods merge here and reflect the religious tradition of the region.

The railway station offers connections via the High Rhine Railway and the Hegau-Ablach Valley Railway in different directions. The long waterfront promenade allows extended walks along the lake with several access points.

The Mettnau Peninsula holds a nature reserve with extensive reed beds and five natural lakes. These wetlands provide habitat for numerous rare bird species and plants that visitors can observe along marked trails.
