Destination guide

Lochau lies on the Austrian shore between Lindau and Bregenz. The Kaiserstrand lakeside grounds combine views across Bregenz Bay with the Pfänder behind. It is a good starting point for an unhurried day by the water.

What to explore

Three good reasons to visit.

01

Kaiserstrand

Make room for a pause here. Watch the water and take in the atmosphere by the shore without deciding on the next stop just yet.

02

Lakeside grounds

Make room for a pause here. Watch the water and take in the atmosphere by the shore without deciding on the next stop just yet.

03

View towards Pfänder

Cover less distance and notice more: plants, landscape and changing light. Use permitted paths and choose a walk that suits the weather and your companions.

Leave room to wander. Bring an idea.

A day that could be yours

At Kaiserstrand, the view can be the programme. A short stroll, a pause and another look across the bay make an outing in themselves. Add Bregenz deliberately rather than planning your next move as soon as you arrive.

A little escape

Make Kaiserstrand your main stop. Leave room for a pause afterwards and only then decide whether to explore further.

With more time to spare

If you wish, add Lakeside grounds to a visit to Kaiserstrand. Check the connection between them and plan a longer break. These are flexible ideas, not a fixed circular route.

Plan your visit

Opening hours, admission, tours and timetables can change with the season. Check current details with the provider before visiting. If you need step-free access, suitable parking or other assistance, ask the destination directly.

Getting here

Choose your precise starting point and destination. Compare current train and bus connections with a road journey. Plan the final stage and your return too; boat services depend on the season.

Not every holiday moment needs an attraction. Take time between visits simply to watch the water.
