Fünfländerblick On the Fünfländerblick, the view is fantastic. The Fünfländerblick owes its name to the view of Switzerland, Austria, and the formerly independent German states of Bavaria, Württemberg, and Baden.

The historic Wartensee Castle, dating from the 13th century, is located on the Rorschacherberg hill. It also features a historic chapel, and the castle itself houses a Gothic hall. From the beautiful garden terrace, one has a breathtaking panoramic view of Lake Constance.
