Uhldingen-Mühlhofen, municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Uhldingen-Mühlhofen is a small municipality on the Bodensee made up of seven villages that have grown together, featuring old wooden buildings and a strong connection to the water. The community spreads across several areas including Oberuhldingen, Unteruhldingen, and Mühlhofen, with the harbor in Unteruhldingen serving as the living center of local activity.
The place is known for prehistoric stilt houses, settlements built thousands of years ago on poles in the water at this location. These early structures show that people have lived here since the Stone and Bronze ages, benefiting from the rich environment.
The place takes its character from its connection to the water and the traditional ways people have lived by the lake. Old wooden buildings and the harbor area reflect how daily life has always centered around the Bodensee and its rhythms.
The place can be reached by car on the B 31 road or by train, and also offers boat connections from nearby towns. Many visitors use the Bodensee cycling route for a relaxed journey and can easily explore different parts of the community on foot or by bicycle.
An open-air museum displays reconstructed stilt houses right in the water, showing thousands of years of ancient life and letting visitors experience it firsthand. This hands-on approach makes prehistoric living feel real and helps people understand the building techniques of that distant past.
