Bodolz: Views, Chapels and Fruit-Growing Culture
Accommodation in Bodolz
Discover Bodolz through its viewpoints, chapels and fruit-growing culture. Three local walks lead to different views of the village. There are also easily accessible hills with panoramic views across Lake Constance to the Austrian and Swiss Alps. This variety offers several ways to explore the area on foot or by bike.
Views Between the Village and the Lake
The hills of Bodolz include Herrmannsberg, Taubenberg and Hoyerberg. They are considered easy to walk, and their viewpoints offer views across Lake Constance to the Alpine mountain range. The three local walks described here offer a different focus: along them, you can explore different views of the village. This lets you choose between routes overlooking the landscape and paths that show Bodolz from different perspectives.
Chapels and a Walking Route
St Markus Chapel is in Enzisweiler, a district of Bodolz. Another chapel stands on Taubenberg: St Michael’s Chapel is at an elevation of 481 metres. From there, you can continue your walk in fine weather to the “Sieben Wege Kreuzung” (Seven Paths Junction) in the Bodolz Forest. You can plan a day of walking that combines visits to the chapels with views along the way; it is best to check route details locally.
Getting Around on Foot or by Bike
Cyclists also have various options for finding their way around. The Lindau Lake Constance Panoramic Cycling Loop leads to viewpoints by the lake and at higher elevations. The “Bayerischer Bodensee” Nordic Walking Park has a range of routes; in Bodolz, they invite you to take a bike ride or walk along well-marked paths. These options have different focuses: you can choose a bike ride, a walk or views from higher vantage points.
From April to October, small groups set off from near Enzisweiler station on bike tours through Bodolz and the surrounding area. The tours are accompanied by local cycling guides. If you are planning a guided ride, confirm current availability before travelling. It is also a good idea to check local route information for the other routes.
Fruit Walks and Village Festivals
From May to August, Bodolz fruit growers and schnapps distillers invite visitors on walks through their orchards every two weeks. This seasonal activity combines exercise with an insight into the local fruit-growing culture. You can ask locally for the exact dates.
Village festivals in Bodolz include the raising of the maypole, the Bodolz Children’s Festival in early July and the Advent-Stadlmarkt in November. The periods mentioned offer a starting point for planning your trip, but do not replace checking current event dates. Nature experiences and village festivals offer different ways to enjoy your visit: views and exercise on the one hand, and community celebrations on the other.
Find the Right Holiday Apartment for Your Travel Plans
When choosing a holiday apartment, you can first consider what you would like to focus on during your stay: walks and viewpoints, bike rides, or seasonal fruit walks and festivals. These activities are available at different times of year, so you can plan your trip accordingly. Bus services from Enzisweiler station (Bodolz) include Bodo route 21 and Lindau city bus no. 4. Check the current timetables if you plan to use these services.
