Singen: What Awaits You
Singen is a German industrial city at the foot of the Hohentwiel, an extinct volcanic peak crowned by the largest fortress ruin in Germany. The fortress, perched 260 metres above the surrounding plain, offers sweeping views across Lake Constance to the Swiss Alps and is freely accessible year-round. Singen is primarily known as a commercial hub and shopping destination — German retail prices are significantly lower than Swiss prices, making it a popular cross-border shopping destination for Swiss residents. The city is also a major rail junction connecting the Lake Constance region with the Black Forest and the wider German rail network. The Kunstmuseum Singen houses an excellent regional art collection, and the Scheffelhalle hosts regular concerts and cultural events. From Singen, the medieval island town of Reichenau (another UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the lakeside cities of Konstanz and Radolfzell are all within easy reach.
