A morning fog lifts off Lake Constance and the harbor lights of Lindau give way to a bright rim of Alps. Guests step from Hotel Lindenallee onto narrow island streets; gulls wheel above the old lighthouse and the Bavarian Lion keeps watch where water meets stone. The lake opens up like a moving map — ferries, white‑fleet panoramas and bike lanes threading shoreline villages.
