Weir and fish ladder on the Rotach

Highlight • Structure

A fish ladder was built around the old, massive weir. The waterfall through the weir is beautiful. You can walk around in the gravel bed below.

Rotach Riverside Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Rotach meanders beautifully through the light hills in the Lake Constance foreland. Leaving everything very close to nature creates a great atmosphere.

Immediately after the forest kindergarten on the way to Unterlottenweiler there is a large "Mensch ärgere dich nicht" game on the left under a tree that can be played while sitting.

March 26, 2026,Rotach-Uferweg – Haldenbergkapelle Runde von Ailingen
A very varied tour, first along the stream, then through the forest and finally kilometers through the apple-growing regions of Lake Constance. A dreamlike sight. You can find some places to stop for refreshments in Ailingen.

Today we didn't want to stay near tourist hotspots and also wanted to avoid the busy B31. Therefore, today we decided to take a tour in the "hinterland," which we found in the brochure "Hiking on Lake Constance."
We went to Ailingen, a district of Friedrichshafen.
The tour description:
This varied hike leads through the Rotach River valley to the …

By car to Ailingen/FN, park at the town hall.
From there, via Ittenhausen, and a short distance along the Rotach River to Unterlottenweiler. Continue to Horach, the highest elevation in Friedrichshafen. It was too hazy today, however, for a good view. We then walked through beautiful apple orchards to the Haldenberg Chapel and, after a coffee break in Ailingen, returned …

Nice, recommendable tour along the Rotach via Unterlottenweiler to Horach, the highest point in Friedrichshafen.
If the conditions are good, you have a beautiful view of the lake and the Alps from here, but today it was rather mediocre.
We continue through orchards to the Haldenberg chapel on the Haldenberg, another beautiful vantage point if the conditions are right.

A family visit took me to Lake Constance for a short vacation 🏞️..... A "cheers" to the train 🚅, which got me to my 🏁 Friedrichshafen on time despite a short delay 😁👍🏻
I did this tour on Tuesday.
Despite the worse weather forecast last week, Lake Constance showed its 🌤️ side today.
I got to the start/finish by bus …

After I found out about the tour at the Friedrichshafen Tourist Information and found out about the diversion, I set off today. This route is extended towards Berg, as the path along the Rotach seems to have been washed away and a bridge is broken. This means that the route is initially very asphalt-heavy. The St. Nicholas Church in Berg …

Very nice morning round on the idyllic Rotach on beautiful nature trails from FN-Ittenhausen to the Weilermühle riding stables. Then on the Ailinger Panoramaweg to the highest point of FN, the Horach water tank. Nice view of FN and Lake Constance and the Alps from here (today in the clouds). The Haldenberg chapel near Ailingen can be seen from the …

We started at the concrete works outside of Ailingen when the temperatures were still cool. From there, a trail leads along the Rotach in the direction of Weilermühle of the Alps. A nice little hike.
