Friedrichshafen Tour – Zeppelins, Kings, and Stories by the Lake
A tour of Friedrichshafen combines panoramic views of Lake Constance with royal history and the pioneering spirit of aviation. The city on the lake’s northern shore surprises with its contrasts: a summer residence and an industrial hub, historic sites of remembrance and modern redevelopment. The castle church is one of the buildings that most vividly illustrates this past.
Knowledgeable tour guides tell the stories of King Frederick, Ferdinand von Zeppelin, and the city’s development into a major hub of the aviation industry.
