Radolfzell
Almost exactly 1,200 years ago, Bishop Radolf of Verona founded the city. Today, the Cella Ratoldi with its approximately 32,000 inhabitants is one of the largest towns in the Lake Constance region and is a popular excursion and vacation destination.
The pretty old town around the minster invites you to stroll with its car-free pedestrian zone. From the lakeside promenade, you can look over to the Mettnau peninsula and take a stroll. The rehab facilities there helped Radolfzell make a name for itself as a spa and recreation resort - true to the motto "movement is life."
Thanks to its location between Lake Constance, the Höri peninsula, Hegau and the Bodanrück, Radolfzell is an ideal starting point for leisure activities of all kinds. Be it hiking, cycling tours or excursions by boat - active in all directions, whether on foot, on the bike or water!
Sights
A striking landmark! With 82 meters, the church, whose construction began in the 15th century, has the highest church tower on Lake Constance. Inside, the rosary altar and the baroque altar of the house are particularly worth seeing. The latter is dedicated to the three town patrons of Radolfzell – Theopont, Senesius and Zeno.
Round the cathedral stretches the Radolfzell old town with large squares and narrow streets that invite you to stroll and linger. The Austrian Castle (now the town library), the Knighthood House, the Höll Tower and the Schützentorturm are just a few of the many buildings that recall the town's rich history. Adjacent to the old town to the east: the town garden. The former moat along the city wall is now a blooming gem.
