geography

location

The Bodanrück lies between the Überlinger See in the northeast and the Untersee in the southwest; The latter is divided into the peninsular parts of the lake Gnadensee and Markelfinger Winkel and the peninsular part of the lake Zeller See . To the east, the Obersee is the main part of Lake Constance . The tip of the Bodanrück in the east, which is furthest forward into the Obersee, is the Hörnle , which at the same time marks the northeastern border point of the Konstanz funnel . To the west is the Hegau , a mountain and hilly landscape. On the edges of the Bodanrück are Bodman-Ludwigshafen in the north, Konstanz in the southeast, Allensbach in the south and Radolfzell in the west. In front of the Bodanrück is the island of Mainau on the northeast side and the island of Reichenau in the south .

Natural allocation

The Bodanrück heard in the physiographic feature unit group pre-Alpine hills and moorland (no. 03) to the main unit Northern Lake Constance and Hegau Basin (030/031). This main unit is divided on the peninsula into the subunit Nordosthegauer Bergland (030 / 031.3) in the north with the natural area Hohe Bodanrück-Homburg-Höhen (030 / 031.30) and the subunit Middle Hegau-Untersee-Senke (030 / 031.2) im South with the Bodanrückhügelland natural area (030 / 031.23) and the southern Konstanzer Niederung natural area (030 / 031.22). In the outer north the landscape leads into the natural area Orsingen-Espasinger-Niederung (030 / 031.32) and in the west into the natural area Große Hegauniederung (Singener Niederung) (030 / 031.24).

mountains

With a mountain ( 693.4  m ) in the northwest of the Bodanrück, its landscape rises a maximum of 298.07 m above the level ( 395.33  m above sea level ) of the Obersee. This mountain and other elevations and their foothills are among other things - sorted by height in meters (m) above sea ​​level (NHN):

  • nameless summit ( 693.4  m ), southwest of Bodman , approx. 600 m southeast of the Bodenwald farm
  • Mühlberg ( 672.7  m ), west-southwest of Bodman, approx. 900 m southeast of the Rehmhof farm
  • Brandberg ( 541.7  m ), 650 m west-northwest of Allensbach - Freudental
  • Gallensberg ( 537  m ), 600 m southeast of Langenrain
  • Schwarzenberg ( 514.8  m ), 1.4 km southwest of Konstanz - Oberdorf
  • Bommern ( 492.4  m ), 1.1 km northwest of Allensbach- Kaltbrunn

Landscape image

In the area of ​​the northeastern roof of the Bodanrück, where it drops steeply to the Überlinger See, several gorges are spectacularly scenic: the Marienschlucht to the east-northeast of Langenrain at the ruins of Kargegg ( 491.9  m ) , which is about 100 m deep dug into the molasse rock , the Katharinenschlucht , a little southeast of it, and the Echotal in the Stöckenloch, southeast of Bodman . If you call into a semicircular rock niche, the echo comes back from a molasse wall about 60 m away. Orchards and pastures as well as forest and various moor and reed areas shape the landscape. Near Radolfzell, the largest lake on the peninsula, is the Mindelsee . The Bodanrück was called a headland by Alfred Benzing .

Protected areas

There are three landscape protection areas (LSG) on Bodanrück, which is wooded in many places : The LSG Bodanrück is located on large parts of the peninsula ( CDDA no. 319996; designated 1966; 55.12  km² in size). It is the second largest of 16 LSG in the Constance district. Since its expulsion in July 1966, it has been expanded several times. In the north it borders on the largest part of the three-part LSG Bodenseeufer (CDDA no. 320003; 1951; 8.15 km²), the area of ​​which extends to the shores of the Überlinger See. On the flanks of the Bodanrück, which extend as far as the Überlinger See, Obersee and Untersee, there are several spatially separated parts of the LSG Bodenseeufer (CDDA No. 31921; 1952; 10.13 km²), which also includes three parts near Konstanz, for example on Mainau Island . The towns of Allensbach , Bodman , Dingelsdorf , Konstanz , Litzelstetten , Markelfingen , Radolfzell , Stahringen , Wallhausen and Wollmatingen are on the edges of the three LSG . The localities of Dettingen , Freudental , Güttingen , Hegne , Kaltbrunn , Langenrain , Liggeringen , Möggingen and Oberdorf are partially or completely enclosed by the LSG .

On large parts of the Bodanrück, including western parts of Lake Constance around the peninsula, lies the fauna-flora-habitat area of Bodanrück and western Lake Constance (FFH no. 8220-341; 142.3729 km²).

There are also two bird sanctuaries (VSG) on the ridge : The multi-part VSG Bodanrück (VSG no. 8220-402; 63.1093 km²) is located on large parts of the peninsula , along its north and northeast flanks the multi-part VSG Überlinger See des Lake Constance (VSG no. 8220-404; 25.5578 km²), and in the area of Geiermoos and Wollmatinger Ried are parts of the VSG Untersee of Lake Constance (VSG no. 8220-401; 59.1533 km²). In the southeast, in the area of ​​the Obersee, the peninsula is joined by the VSG Konstanzer Bucht des Bodensee (VSG no. 8321-401; 3.1112 km²).

In addition, there are nature reserves on the Bodanrück, some of which extend to the parts of Lake Constance around the peninsula , some of which are adjacent to one another (sorted alphabetically):

Attractions

The sights of Bodanrück include the gorges on the northeast side and those in the localities:

  • The Allensbach Wildlife and Leisure Park (also known as the “Bodanrück Wildlife and Leisure Park”), 75 hectares in size, with over 350 animals in 20 species
  • the nature reserve Wollmatinger Ried and the nature reserves around the nearby Mettnau peninsula and the Mindelsee
  • the Burghof Wallhausen, former forester's lodge above the Überlinger See, built in 1661 next to the ruins of the old Tettingen Castle of the minstrel Heinrich von Tettingen

In many places the elevations and slope spurs of the peninsula offer good prospects over Lake Constance and the surrounding landscapes - in the north to the Swabian Alb and to the south to the Alps .

traffic

The federal road 33 , which connects Radolfzell in the northwest via Allensbach with Konstanz in the southeast, runs along the southwest bank of the Bodanrück . The federal road 34 branches off from here and runs in the transition area to Hegau from Radolfzell in a south-west-north-east direction to Bodman-Ludwigshafen. From these roads, several state and district roads branch off into the landscape .

The Radolfzell − Konstanz section of the Hochrheinbahn runs along the south-west bank of the peninsula . In the transition area to the Hegau, the Radolfzell-Stahringen sections of the Radolfzell – Mengen and Stahringen – Ludwigshafen sections of the Stahringen – Friedrichshafen railway are located in a south-west-north-east direction .

In the southeast of the Bodanrück is the ferry port for the car ferry between Konstanz-Staad on the peninsula and Meersburg on the northern shore of Lake Constance . The island of Mainau can also be reached with the passenger ships of the White Fleet from Konstanz, Meersburg, Unteruhldingen or Überlingen, as can the northern Bodanrück villages of Dingelsdorf, Wallhausen, Bodman and the Marienschlucht.

There is also a regular bus service and a well-marked network of cycle paths.
