You have an ingenious view of Lake Constance from the church tower in Heiden. Dunant Square was named after the visionary Henry Dunant, who lived in Heiden from 1887 to 1910. He was a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and founder of the Red Cross. The world's only museum is here in Heiden and you can learn more about Dunant's work and his ideas for human rights, peace, democracy, international law and the international court of law.

Cycling

In the Hotel Heiden you can not only enjoy the fantastic view towards Lake Constance, but also the food in the Bö's restaurant. Great for a stopover.
