A network of tourist boats (the "White Fleet") links all of the main towns, and a car ferry connects Konstanz and Meersburg. The Hohentwiel steamship, a renovated steamship, is a more romantic alternative. Below is a slideshow of our trip on one of the white fleet.
The lake is situated in Germany, Switzerland and Austria near the Alps. Specifically, its shorelines lie in the German federal states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, the Austrian state of Vorarlberg, and the Swiss cantons of Thurgau, St. Gallen and Schaffhausen.
