Things to do in Baden-Baden

Baden-Baden is located at the northern end of the Black Forest in Germany. Europe’s first luxury hotel was opened in Baden-Baden and since then the town has been a destination for celebrities and the wealthy. That is because Baden-Baden was once the hotspot in Europe in the 19th century. Anyone who wanted to be someone had to be in Baden-Baden.  In the 19th century Baden-Baden was the most elegant and sophisticated playground in Europe, the Saint Tropez of high society. Visitors can enjoy The Casino Baden-Baden or spend hours at one of the famous spas in Baden-Baden. The Baden-Baden baths are called Caracalla and Friedrichsbad.

Baden-Baden has a population of about 55,000 people. There are numerous hot springs in the Black Forest around which spa towns have grown, but non of them have become as famous as Baden-Baden.

Meersburg

Meersburg is located on the Germany side of Lake Constance and one of the most charming towns at Lake Constance. The medieval city is a dream for any pedestrian- there are no cars allowed inside the old town. The name Meersburg literally means “Burg on the Lake”. The ‘Burg’ is referring to the castle which was built here in 630 and now overlooking Lake Constance.

meersburg

If you look at pictures of Meersburg you can see the the town is a must-see destination at Lake Constance. A ferry takes you and your car across to Konstanz every 15 minutes. You can also take a tour boat to reach Konstanz. In summer Meersburg gets overwhelmed by crowds of tourists, so ideally you visit in late spring or in fall.

Lake Constance

Lake constance

If you have a few days to spend in the Black Forest a visit to Lake Constance is highly recommended. Lake Constance is a lake only a short drive from the Black Forest. If you look at a map of Lake Constance  you will discover that the lake is bordered by the countries of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. A boat ride to all 3 countries is a must-do when visiting. More than half of the shoreline of Lake Constance is in Germany though so it makes sense to start your journey coming from the Black Forest. Lake Constance is 15 km long (9 miles) wide at its widest point, 74 km (46 miles) long, 252 m deep (826 feet) and 395 m (1,295 ft) high. The area around Lake Constance is known for its mild climate and hills around the lake are covered with vineyards. There are almost 200 professional fishermen active today. If you have a chance to enjoy lunch or dinner at Lake Constance enjoy some of the fish which is on the menu of just about any restaurant.

The town of  Meersburg is opposite of the university town Constance. You can take a boat over to visit Meersburg or take the car ferry which is available several times each hour.

Look at some of the pictures of Lake Constance to see how beautiful this Lake is!

There are tons of shops which sell Cuckoo Clocks in all sizes and shapes. Also in all kinds of price categories! You can buy an imported cuckoo clock from Taiwan starting at a few Euros.
