An alle Eisenbahnamateure, ein herzlich willkommen! Good afternoon and welcome to this new suggestion of mine! Today I'm radically expanding my range, wanting to propose you a German route! Sehr gut, fahren wir fort! Let's go! This would be the well-known Bodenseegürtelbahn (Lake Constance "northern" Belt Railway), from Lindau to Radolfzell via Friedrichshafen, plus Singen! Located in the southeast of Germany, between Bayern and Baden-Württemberg. Would be set in 2022. Our journey begins in Lindau, riding the lake's northern shore; breaking through vineyards/orchards and peat bogs, all the way to Friedrichshafen. Along its second half, it alternates inland and lakeside stretches, riding through the same orchards/vineyards, interspersed with wooded hillsides/farmlands. Dropping in Radolfzell, it finally come to an end in Singen! Famous for its breathtaking views and stunning rural/natural landscapes, it also crosses some major industrial realities (Zeppelin, ZF and MTU, to name a few). Key features would be electric and diesel combined stretches (kind of weird), as well as a perfectly balanced service scheme! Glaubst du, dass du bereit? Think you're ready?

Excellent idea looking at this you are planning to have this hop onto an existing one and it's the line electrified to 15kv 16.7hz AC

Friedrichshafen's legendary Zeppelins! Even nowdays, some modern examples can be seen over the lake during good season and/or during planned manteinance. Two LZ N07s at the Zeppelin Hangar (Friedrichshafen Airport). A perfect mastery trophy, isn't it? Hope this was helpful! Have a good evening
Yep, exactly. The electrified stretch currently runs from Lindau to Friedrichshafen; it is also planned along the second one next years.
