The Pulverturm is one of Lindau's old defensive towers, standing on the island edge as a reminder that this pretty Lake Constance town was also fortified and strategic. Its round form and waterside position make it an easy landmark on a slow circuit of the island.
It is a small sight, but Lindau works through exactly these details: towers, harbour views, painted houses, and sudden glimpses of the Alps. Add the Pulverturm to a walk rather than treating it as a destination in itself.
