Where to stay on Lake Constance

My husband and I would like to stay along Lake Constance (Germany or Switzerland side) for 2 nights in September. We will be traveling by car from Bastogne (stopping to see the Rhine Falls) and then heading to somewhere on Lake Constance. We will be traveling to Munich by car after our 2 night stay. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

Thanks,
Erika

Stay on the German side so you'll have the great view of the Alps over the lake. You also won't have to bother with getting a car sticker required to drive in Switzerland. Meersburg and Lindau are popular places to stay. The last time I was there I stayed in Wasserburg(just west of Lindau) which has wonderful views across the lake and small enough (and flat) for good walking.

Mainau Island off the north side of the city of Konstanz is a beautiful place to visit (walk across a footbridge to get there) and there are car ferry boats from Konstanz over to Meersburg so you don't have to drive around the north shore to get there.

I have stayed in Lindau and nr Meersburg and love them both. Lots to do in ea location if you want to or just cycle or walk around the lake for R&R. Cafe and restaurants are vg and relaxing. get your lodging reserv ASAP as it is a big destinations for Germans on holiday. Lindau in addition is terrific as it is nr Switzerland for Appenzell and Zurich for airport. Enjoy. It is a backdoor that RS does not cover prob becuz lodging in summer is difficult.
