Did you know that you get 50% discount on almost all lake constance public boat lines with your interrail/eurail pass?

Many people don’t know, since it is published nowhere, except in the tariff:

It can also be helpful to carry this pdf with you, in case the ticket seller don’t knows interrail/eurail!

That's nice. Do you have to write down the ship in your travel dairy ? My Plan in Day 1(Saturday) is to go from my hometown(in Austria) to Buchs SG(Switzerland) and then Walk into Liechtenstein. After that i'm going Back to Buchs SG and travel via St.Margarethen(SG) with an extra Ticket to Bregenz(Austria). From there i would like to take a ship from Bregenz to Konstanz

As these boats are just a discount offer you don´t have to fill these boats in to your Traveldiary but ofcourse you can ;) If they see that many Railpassuser take these ships they may include them in the future in the Railpass.

Now he tells me!!!


Thanks for the information!

The link does not work any longer, because they have a new timetable

The new timetable is available here, page 15 under “Inter Rail / Eurail” (note: interrail has a blank character, relevant if you are looking up the word)

Should there come a new link in the future you can search the fares yourself: go to https://schiffe-am-bodensee.ch → Beförderungsbedingungen → “PDF Download” under Informationen zum Personentarif

It does seem possible to use a travel day to get a ticket for the ferries now, isn't it ?

You shouldn't use a travel day when you get a discount, less than 100%, on the ticket.

In this case, i would have to use a travel day anyway to come to Constance
