Discover Eriskirch on Lake Constance
Accommodation in Eriskirch
Eriskirch combines distinctive natural scenery with cycling, swimming and cultural features. In June, the meadows of Eriskircher Ried turn blue with blooming irises. The nature area also includes wet meadows, former channels of the Schussen, floodplain forests and the shallow-water zone of Lake Constance. Many animals and plants find a habitat there. So the Ried is not limited to a single type of landscape; meadows, waterways and woodland all contribute to its described diversity. If you are considering a holiday apartment in Eriskirch, you might first ask yourself which of these different impressions you would like to shape your holiday.
Eriskircher Ried: more than blooming meadows
The blue iris blossoms give the Ried a distinctive seasonal appearance in June. It also comprises a variety of different habitats: open wet meadows, the Schussen and its former channels, floodplain forests and the shallow-water zone of Lake Constance. Many animals and plants find a habitat there. The Ried is therefore not limited to a single type of landscape; meadows, waterways and woodland all contribute to its described diversity.
If nature and scenery are especially important to you when travelling, the Ried offers a clear focus for your trip. The iris blossoms provide a specific highlight in June, while the different habitats make nature a central theme beyond the flowering season. When planning, you can therefore consider whether the seasonal floral landscape or the variety of habitats matters more to you.
Cycling and time by the water
The Lake Constance Cycle Path runs along the edge of Eriskircher Ried, beside the railway line between Friedrichshafen and Langenargen. For cyclists, this specific route is part of the local landscape and holiday considerations. Its location on the edge of the Ried links the cycle path with one of Eriskirch’s defining landscape features, without implying any particular route length or cycling time.
Water can also be part of your holiday: you can swim in Lake Constance. Eriskirch lido also has a beach volleyball court. If you enjoy spending time by the water, you can take these two options into account when choosing where to stay; if you prefer cycling, the route of the Lake Constance Cycle Path provides another specific point to consider when planning your trip.
Landmarks and water guardians
The parish church of the Assumption of Mary is a landmark of Eriskirch. Its pointed tower is 61 metres high, making it a striking architectural feature alongside the area’s nature and water activities. For travellers interested in cultural sights as part of their trip, the church offers a reason to experience Eriskirch for more than just its scenery.
Another distinctive sight is a group of six water guardians shortly before the Schussen flows into Lake Constance in Eriskirch. They are arranged in a parabolic formation; their names refer to virtues, intellect and love. The group thus connects a specific location at the mouth of the Schussen with names that evoke a range of intellectual and human themes. The church and the water guardians offer different cultural points of interest: here, a landmark with a tall, pointed tower; there, a named group near the river mouth.
