Wangener Bänkleweg 2 West

This route uniquely combines Lake Constance, Schienerberg, and culture. Directly on the lake shore in Wangen is the Fischerhaus Museum, which recalls the pile dwelling UNESCO World Heritage hidden at the lakeshore of Lake Constance. The mayor of Wangen, Kaspar Löhle, was the first to discover remains of pile dwellings in Lake Constance in 1854. At the lakeshore, the reconstruction of a pile dwelling can be visited.

The hiking trail runs along the western south slope from Wangen to Öhningen-Kattenhorn with almost uninterrupted lake views. Worth visiting are the two Kattenhorn churches. In an old defensive tower of Kattenhorn Castle (the current castle is privately owned and not open for visits) is the Blasius Chapel from the 16th century. It uniquely combines Renaissance times with modernity. For literature enthusiasts: the writer Werner Dürrson lived in the corner house, whose small collection of poems "Kattenhorn Silence" is recommended for later reading. (Quote: "Here Germany dawns the most beautifully")

Now it is time to climb the Schienerberg via Schlossackerweg. Just right for a breather is the evangelical Petrus Church directly by the main road, with stained glass windows by Otto Dix. The path then leads uphill again after crossing the main road to Kattenhorn Bühl. The path through the nature reserve runs along the slope, with wide views of the landscape. The panorama route takes us to Aspenhof and further along the slope back to Wangen.

The wine taverns of Wangen now invite you to refresh yourself. At the Langasthof Auer, the legendary apple cake was already appreciated by Otto Dix. Directly on the lake shore, the lakeside terrace of the Residenz am See invites you to stay.
