ボーデン湖の天然記念物・トップ20

Impressive rock formation directly on the bike path and lakeshore. Numerous bird boxes adorn the rock.

Nothing going on. Great place.

The route is directly along the main road but the steep slopes are impressive

A beautiful bike path

Until the 19th century, Sipplingen could not be reached by land from Überlingen because the rocks were in the way. Only when they were blasted away could the road and railway line be built.

In 784 the name “wazzarburuc” appeared for the first time in a document from the monastery of St. Gallen. In the 10th century, this island fortress served as a refuge for the monasteries of St. Gallen. It is believed that between 925 and 955 the Hungarians dared to attack the St. Gallen monastery fortress Wasserburg with fire and sword, but this was possibly repelled despite a fire on the foothills. Traces of the excavations carried out in 1993 indicate this.[7] This document mentions a church of Saint George, which belongs to the monastery of St. Gallen. Until 1280, the Lords of Kisslegg, as ministerials of the monastery, were responsible for the rule of Wasserburg, then the rule went to the Lords of Schellenberg for 500 silver marks. They expanded Wasserburg into a fortress as a St. Gallen fiefdom (until 1826).

A completely different way

Beautiful recreation area. Great for swimming and barbecuing in summer
