Stein am Rhein- The Jewel on Lake Constance and Rhine...
The location on lower Lake Constance and Rhine has been key to the city's fortunes throughout history. What remains, is an astonishingly intact old town with medieval buildings, fortifications, towers and an extensive monastery. Take a breath of history and take part in a guided city stroll to learn more about the changing fortunes of a small town at the heart of Europe throughout the storms of the centuries. To the less history- oriented, the countless anecdotes of the town's shrewd inhabitants are sure to cause the odd chuckle. Joining the night watchman's rounds after dusk has
become a most popular variant lately.
Today Stein am Rhein has become a sought- after destination for day trips and short breaks. Its location makes it the perfect base for excursions around Lake Constance and the Rhine. Main attractions including the Island of Mainau, Constance, Reichenau abbey - a UNESCO world heritage site-, the Bregenz Festival or the Rhinefalls are in convenient proximity and easy to reach by car, rail, bike or boat. Our tourism partners have a variety of interesting suggestions on offer.
The 2009 season beckons you with countless interesting cultural events in the region. Be sure not to miss this summer's highlights!
