The two villages lie opposite each other on the shores of the lake, surrounded by green ridges and separated by a nature reserve, in an idyllic natural landscape.
A network of hiking trails and the direct location on the lake provide ideal conditions for a variety of outdoor activities on land and water, with numerous excursion destinations.
Ludwigshafen was once called Sernatingen, a name first mentioned in a document from the 12th century. From 1800 onwards, the village enjoyed a flourishing period thanks to trade. In 1826, the harbour "Ludwigshafen" was opened and the village was renamed at the request of the inhabitants.
The Zollhaus building and a crane in the harbour date from this period and look out over a lakeside promenade which invites you to stroll and swim.
