For a stay in Lindau, the 5 km circular route offers a specific tour through forest, fields and open countryside. It starts and ends at Lindau Castle, so you begin and return to the same point. The castle itself can also be visited: by prior arrangement, on the annual Open Monument Day and on Whit Monday. This raises two distinct planning questions: How would you like to use the circular route, and under what conditions would a castle visit fit into your stay?

Fit the circular route into your day

At five kilometres, the route has a clearly defined length. As a circular route, it starts and ends at Lindau Castle, so you do not need to plan a journey between two different endpoints. The path runs through forest, across fields and through open countryside. These different landscapes are all part of the same route and provide variety along the way. The route can be used on foot or by bike. Some sections have natural surfaces, which may be a factor when choosing how to travel. Take the surface into account rather than assuming the entire route has a uniform surface. The distance gives you an idea of the tour’s overall length; also plan according to your own pace and chosen mode of travel. As route conditions can change, check them again before setting out.

Getting to the starting point

There is a free parking area at the starting point at Lindau Castle. Lindau Schule bus stop is 180 metres away. You can use the information relevant to your mode of transport: for a car journey, free parking is relevant; for a bus journey, Lindau Schule is the reference point. Check transport and accessibility information again before travelling. If you park at the castle, you can start and end the circular tour there, since the route begins and ends in the same place. This allows you to plan your arrival and return together.

Visit Lindau Castle

A visit to the castle should be planned as a separate activity. It is possible by prior arrangement, on the annual Open Monument Day and on Whit Monday. Choose one of these ways to visit and confirm the arrangements in advance, as access arrangements requiring advance registration may change. The fact that the tour starts and ends at the castle does not replace the visitor arrangements for the castle itself.

Choose the right focus

When choosing your travel dates, the key consideration is whether you want a castle visit to be part of your stay. If so, one of the stated visiting options should fit your preferred dates. For a plan centred on the circular route, distance, mode of travel and current route conditions are the main considerations. This lets you decide on the most important activity first and plan the rest of your day around it, without assuming that the circular route and castle visit can automatically be planned in the same way.
