Whether you call it Lake Constance or, as the Germans do, the Bodensee, the lake's most charming harbor is the Bavarian town of Lindau.
By Claudia Fischer & Roger Holliday
Perhaps there should be a warning sign at all the entrances guarding the island town of Lindau on Lake Constance: "Beware All Ye Who Enter Here In Foul Weather"!
For Lindau, like so many other lakeside resorts can be a cold and depressing place when the barometer heads south.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO NEXT?
Weve done Lucerne, Locarno, and Lugano in both good and bad weather. All are superb when the sun shines but pretty awful in the rain. Lindau in vile weather is no exception. Lake resorts we have concluded are not the place to be in intemperate weather and a micro-Insel the size of Lindau, population 25,000, with somewhat limited inside attractions or shop-ops, is a definite no no in the wet wet.
(Tip: Watch the local weather forecasts very carefully before heading for any lake resorts.)
Seaside towns, however, don't seem to affect us that way at all. In fact there's something romantic about slashing rain and crashing waves, about soggy seagulls and soggy sailors, when you're down beside the seashore.
