There are not many train stations that are directly located at the shore. One of these dead-end stations is the terminus of Lindau, Germany. It is very impractical but of historical value. If you leave a train here you only have to walk approximately 100 meters to get to the harbour of Lindau and have a wonderful view on Lake Constance.
The small harbour has a nice tower (“Mangturm“) and a very special opening towards the lake: on one side there is a lighthouse and on the other side a Bavarian lion is sitting. The island is connected to the emerged land by a railway and a street bridge and offers narrow streets to stroll on. If you like these kinds of railway stations, buy a ticket to the fantastic Stazione di Venezia Santa Lucia in Venice, Italy.
