Hotels in Bodensee, Germany
Bodensee, or Lake Constance, sits on the border of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is famous for its massive 63-kilometer-long lake, which is like a giant swimming pool for water sports fans. In summer, the water temperature hits about 68°F (20°C), perfect for sailing, paddleboarding, or cycling the 273-kilometer shore path through flower-filled meadows and vineyards. Come winter, snow dusts the Alps behind the lake, so you can ski at nearby mountains like Pfänder or warm up with mulled wine at the Christmas markets in Konstanz, a city with a 2,000-year-old Roman history.
