Rorschach
Situated between the lake and the foothills of the Rorschach mountain, the little harbour town looks back on an impressive history. Over the centuries, the Alemannic settlement of Rorscahun developed into a hub of trade routes by water and land. Today, Rorschach invites its visitors to marvel at the many oriel-decorated houses on the main street, stroll along the lakeside promenade, jump into Lake Constance from the bathing hut and enjoy the view of the lake over a coffee at the harbour.
The good transport links and proximity to the lake and the Alps mean that visitors to this Swiss town of around 10,000 inhabitants can enjoy a wide range of leisure activities - whether it's a tour on the Lake Constance cycle path, a hike in the Appenzell countryside or a visit to Lindau's Old Town Island with the Weiße Flotte ships. Or what about a trip on the Rorschach-Heiden Bergbahn? The red carriages of the nostalgic rack railway cover around 400 metres in just a few minutes and offer unforgettable views of Lake Constance!
Sights
Marking the port of Rorschach! Completed in 1749, it first served as a granary, later as a warehouse. Today, it enriches Rorschach with the Museum im Kornhaus, which offers various exhibitions, events and concerts in addition to the history of the city.
The lake bathing establishment is located at the Rorschach harbor. Its history began in 1924. Standing on pillars, it is connected to the mainland and provides access to the lake via stairs. Affectionately called "Badi" by locals, it is the last remaining structure of its kind on the shores of Lake Constance in Switzerland.
It is the museum part of the Würth company. The forum shows regularly changing exhibitions of contemporary art on various themes. Right next door: a sculpture garden that forms a flowing transition between the museum and the shores of Lake Constance. Admission to the museum is free of charge.
