Discover Horn am Untersee

Horn am Untersee combines wide-ranging views with waterside activities and ferry rides. From the late Gothic church and Horn Water Tower, the view stretches across Untersee to Reichenau, Konstanz and the snow-covered Alps. At the same time, the town is surrounded by species-rich protected areas. This combination is appealing if you would like to bring together landscapes, time by the lake and experiences on the water in your travel plans.

Views and protected landscapes

The late Gothic church and Horn Water Tower offer views across Untersee to the destinations mentioned above. The panorama spans from the water across Reichenau and Konstanz to the snow-covered Alps. This gives the landscape around Horn a broad perspective that takes in both the lake and the Alps.

The species-rich protected areas surrounding Horn also shape the town’s landscape. This means there are two distinct interests to consider during your stay: views across the lake and protected nature in the surrounding area. When planning a trip, these highlights can help you decide whether you would mainly like to enjoy the views or focus more on the activities on the water.

Waterside activities

Leisure options in Horn include a campsite with bicycle rental, a restaurant by the lake, a sailing centre and an adjacent lido. These options offer different kinds of activities: bicycle rental and the sailing centre appeal to different active interests, while the restaurant and lido let you enjoy the lake in other ways during your stay. You can shape your travel plans around the kind of time by the water that matters to you. If you are travelling with family or in a group, you can discuss in advance which of these interests to prioritise when planning. Check the availability of individual activities for specific plans.

Ferry rides from Horn

Horn is the home port of the Höri ferry. In summer, services run to Gaienhofen, Steckborn and Berlingen; event trips are also available. A ferry ride can therefore be a distinct part of your travel plans, alongside the views and waterside activities. Seasonality is important: if you would like to plan a summer or event trip, base your plans on the published timetable.

Horn as a destination for your accommodation search

If you are travelling with family, you can weigh everyone’s interests and consider which aspects of the town matter most for your time together.
