Allensbach is located on Lake Constance, one of the most beautiful regions in Germany. The location is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling. The town itself has a picturesque old town with many restaurants and cafés, as well as a beautiful harbour.

One of the tourist attractions is Allensbach Castle from the 16th century, which now serves as the town hall. Also nearby is the Hegne Monastery, an important religious centre in southern Germany since the Middle Ages.

Cultural highlights include the annual jazz festival in summer and various art exhibitions throughout the year. For families, we recommend the Allensbach Wildlife and Leisure Park with numerous attractions such as slides, merry-go-rounds and animal enclosures.

If it rains, you can visit the Haus Dix Museum - here you will find works by Otto Dix as well as other artists from the 20th century . Alternatively, you can visit the thermal spa of Constance - only a few kilometres away!

The culinary specialities of Allensbach include regional dishes such as Kässpätzle or Maultaschen as well as fresh fish from Lake Constance in different variations.

In spring, the orchards around Allensbach are in bloom and offer a breathtaking backdrop for walks or bicycle tours. In summer you can swim, sail or surf at Lake Constance. In autumn, we recommend a visit to a wine festival to taste the local wines.

Allensbach is a destination you should have visited - with its historical sights, cultural highlights and culinary delights, as well as the numerous outdoor activities, it offers something for everyone. We hope this travel guide has helped you plan your next trip!

    Bin (fast) genau diesen Weg erst letztes Wochenende gegangen. :) Allein die Gitterrost-Lösung in der Marienschlucht ist ... ich finde sie furchtbar. Klar - Sicherheit ist wichtig, aber das Erlebnis "Schlucht" wurde so kaputt gemacht. Nicht mehr empfehlenswert.

    Really enjoyed this hike. Sufficiently challenging with steep and sometimes long climbs and the Wutachschlucht, combined with beautiful views. Apart from the last leg when we walked along the lake into Konstanz the trail was very quiet. We had independently arranged accommodation. All were of excellent quality and good value. We had also organised taxis to transport our suitcases between hotels as there was no agency offering to do this. In spite of asking the Verein and various tourist boards I was given no real help or advice. I would recommend all of the companies we used - Taxi Feiburg 555555, Frank Witte, Taxi Striskovic, Dein Taxi and Taxi Vogler. It is not a cheap way of doing things but all of our bags were delivered on time without any problems. If doing this hike take plenty of water and lunch as there are not a lot of places along the way to fill up or buy food. The only disappointment we had was that there did not appear to be any plaque at the end of the hike in Konstanz to mark the end of the walk. We went to Tourist Information and they had no idea where the official end was. Regardless would really recommend the Querweg!

    Eine sehr schöne Runde - die Ruine ist eine Wucht! Herrliche Ausblicke - einsame Wege. In der Marienschlucht war trotz Wochentag einiges los. Ist jetzt nicht so ganz meins - aber dieses Konstrukt muss man schon mal gesehen haben. Auf dem Rückweg nach Bodman ist man wieder fast alleine.

    Tour, wie alle Wanderfex- Touren, hervorragend ausgearbeitet ! Herrliche Ausblicke auf den Bodensee und das Alpenpanorama mit einigen direkten Zugängen und bei entsprechendem Wetter auch Bademöglichkeiten. Von der Marienschlucht war ich, ehrlich gesagt, etwas enttäuscht, sie kann z.B. der Monbachschlucht im Nordschwarzwald nicht das Wasser reichen! Das teuer errichtete" Baugerüst" ist nichts für wahre Naturfreunde, Turnschuh- und Sandalen- Touris haben ihren Spaß daran, auch für Kinder ganz nett. Der Biergarten und das Essen im Höfener Hof ist empfehlenswert! Für die Seenähe und Aussichten lohnt sich eine weitere Anfahrt, für die Schlucht meiner Meinung nach nicht!

    Wir sind den Weg am 26.04.2026 gewandert. Wirklich schöner Weg, allerdings keinerlei Beschilderung, ohne Navy keine Chance. Bei nassem Boden oder sogar Regenwetter kann der Weg aber problematisch werden, selbst der Hinweg zur Marienschlucht am See entlang. Auf dem Rückweg liegen teilweise dicke Bäume über den Weg, nicht unbedingt etwas fü kleine Leute mit kurzen Beinen. Der Weg führt tatsächlich über den Golfplatz, allerdings war von einer Sperrung nichts zu sehen, kein Problem. Der GPX-Track im Bereich der Butzewegs-Höhle und des Katharinen-Wasserfalls ist etwas irreführend. Der Weg in Richtung Höhle und Wasserfall ist gesperrt, Zugang vieleicht möglich, aber wir habe es nicht probiert. An der Sperrung führt die Umleitung steil den Berg hinauf, oben angekommen auf einem Fahrweg nach links und sofort wieder nach links in den Wald hinein. Grundsätzlich ist zu sagen, die neue Stahlkonstruktion durch die Marienschlucht ist schon beeindruckend, den Flair der "alten" Marienschlucht gibt es allerdings nicht mehr. Und bei den hohen Baukosten hat es für eine Beschilderung offensichtlich nicht mehr gereicht. Vom Parkplatz bei Wallhausen keinerlei Beschilderung "Marienschlucht". Das einzige Hinweisschild steht am Parkplatz beim Golfplatz, da wo es eh offensichtlich ist.

    Eine schöne einfache Tour durch eine tolle Landschaft. Gute ausgeschildert. Beim Bauer Litz sollte man unbedingt eine Einkehr machen. Schöner Biergarten in der Streuobstwiese und leckeres Essen.

    Sehr schöne Tour durch eine abwechslungsreiche Landschaft, sogar mit einigen kurzen Singletrails. Unbedingt die kurzen Abstecher zu tollen Aussichtspunkten nehmen.
