Lindau, we visit the fairytale island of Lake Constance

As I told you, Lindau is a place that we had already visited 15 years ago and to which we always wanted to return. The first time we arrived soaked by the rain in a tent and a nice yellow Seat Panda. What an adventure that was!

Upon arrival in Lindau, the beautiful island in Lake Constance, we find a lovely park with a huge elephant slide which delighted the little ones. This park is reached by the bridge next to the train tracks, right at the entrance of the island.

After a while of playing in the park, we went in search of a good pastry to have a big breakfast. Coffee and German cake with meringue, a delight to start your visit to Lindau!

The pastry shop we opted for, the Theater Café Lindau, It did not disappoint us, it was spectacular and we recommend it without a doubt. She had so many cakes to choose from and we were enthralled by the quiet terrace we sat on. Don't forget to try the lemon pie they have, brutal!
