Friedrichshafen Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Friedrichshafen - an oasis on the Lake 🇩🇪

This small town has only about 60000 inhabitants but is a very important town in the aviation industry because Count Zeppelin invented and constructed the Zeppelin which is a cigar like 2 chamber construction filled with not flammable helium gas! And yes it flies until nowadays on a clear day (2hours 260 Euros)! There are many shops in the pedestrian area and a lake promenade with many restaurants with a beautiful view of the Swiss snow mountains! Don’t forget to climb up the Moleturm! Around the city there are a lot of apple and wine growers! (photo 10) Getting There - by Ferry (car), boat🚢or bus from Constance, direct trains rom Ravensburg, Lindau, Radolfszell Attractions - 1. Zeppelin Museum (photo 2) 2. Lake promenade (photo 3-5) 3. Moleturm tower on the lake for best view (photo 1) 4. Dornier Aviation Museum 5. Buchhorn fountain (photo 6) Hotels - We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express 3* with free breakfast and parking Plaza Hotel Föhr am Bodensee 4* Food & Restaurants - My wife wanted a burger at MC Donald’s and I had a wrap which was quite good! I would have preferred one on the lake promenade but there was no way😂 Shopping- local wine: I had a red Hagnauer which was pretty good🍷 #summervacation
