Direct marketers, Lake Constance fish, and wine on balmy summer evenings on the peninsula
The Abendmarkt Wasserburg am Bodensee takes place from May to October on a fixed Friday of the month on the central Lindenplatz. Wasserburg is one of the few true peninsulas on Lake Constance and is located in the Lindau district, in the southernmost part of Bavaria. The Lindenplatz, with its parish church, town hall, and old linden trees, forms the natural stage for the market – with views of Lake Constance and Mediterranean vegetation.
The focus is on the direct marketers from Wasserburg and Lindau: fruit farmers from the Lake Constance region with apples, pears, berries, and stone fruit; vegetable growers; beekeepers with honey; fishermen with freshly caught Lake Constance whitefish, perch, and char; and vintners with Lake Constance wines from neighboring Nonnenhorn and Lindau. Distilleries offer brandies made from regional fruits, supplemented by cheese from the Allgäu and culinary specialties of the region.
The Abendmarkt is intended as a relaxed meeting point for locals, Lake Constance holidaymakers, and day-trippers from Lindau, Friedrichshafen, and Wangen. When the weather is good, live music plays in the square, and guests enjoy a glass of wine, some whitefish rolls, or local cheese with a view of Lake Constance. The market takes place in all weather conditions – only the music program depends on the weather.
Wasserburg is one of the most beautiful places on the Bavarian side of Lake Constance. The small peninsula with its historic castle complex, lido, and quiet harbor basin is a summer destination between Lindau and Nonnenhorn. The Abendmarkt is integrated into a rich event calendar with a flea market, an Advent market on Lindenplatz, and concerts by the lake. The event is organized by the Tourist Information office of the municipality of Wasserburg in cooperation with the direct marketers.
Admission is free, and no registration is necessary. Families are particularly welcome – the child-friendly atmosphere and the short distances on the peninsula make the Abendmarkt a relaxed program item for a day of your Lake Constance holiday.
