Boat trips on the Rhine

Bodensee Schiffsbetriebe is a small fleet of around ten boats. It offers a range of services. It's possible to buy a ticket to cross the lake (ideal if you have an eye on the watch, the crossing varies between ten minutes and half an hour depending on the point of departure), or sightseeing trips lasting several hours. This slightly more expensive option offers themed tours, some of which focus on castles or museums. It's an original way to discover the region. Vehicles can be taken on board.
