Tips

It was first designated as a nature reserve in 1958 and expanded to a total of 188 hectares in 1997. The area covers the easternmost tip of the peninsula and is known for its diverse flora and fauna.

The aim of the protection is to preserve the Hornspitze as a habitat for numerous plant and animal species, some of which are threatened with decline or extinction. It also serves as an important breeding, resting and wintering area for wetland bird species.

The nature reserve is largely inaccessible and can only be seen from the Lake Constance hiking trail.

Super nice path on the Hornspitze - a lot of cycling in summer.
