LAKE  KONSTANZ

HISTORY
of SAILINGS

 to and from Swiss Piers

General PS Hohentwiel has normally only operated a programme of special sailings mainly between the Lake Konstanz German piers
In addition the paddle steamer has usually been based for two weeks at Bregenz, Austria during the annual Festival
Sailings calling at Swiss piers were few and far between - all occasions that I am aware of are shown below - clearly there may have been others
Please e-mail me if you have any further information
 
2008 Details will be posted at the end of the season
