Another gem: the stilt houses in Unteruhldingen . These reconstructed Stone Age houses on stilts fascinate not only history buffs. During the hands-on activities, children can even make fire themselves, just like in the Stone Age – an unforgettable experience!

Spring: The Mainau tulip bloom is a sea of color!
Summer: Mettnau lido – our favorite natural swimming area with a shallow children's section and a shady playground. Pack-
Autumn: Apple harvest at the Knoblauch fruit farm in Friedrichshafen. The children are allowed to pick the apples themselves and learn all about regional fruit growing at the same time.
