Bismarck Tower

Hilltop memorial tower above Konstanz, surrounded by vines and lake-country views.

Konstanz's Bismarck Tower stands on a grapevine-covered hill above town, part of the wave of towers built across Germany to honour Otto von Bismarck. The tower itself is simple, but the climb is worthwhile for the open setting and views.

Benches and fire pits near the base make it a relaxed local stop. Go in clear weather, when the lake and surrounding hills are easiest to read.
