Lake Konstanz

Sorry loyal readers for the delayed updating of this blog. A new job and very busy weekends, have kept me away from my pride and joy and from (I hope) entertaining you. I hope that I will successfully update it weekly from now.

On to Lake Konstanz... this magnificent lake lies on the borders of Germany, Switzerland and Austria, which means if you cross it you would be in another country. This is also, where the water from the Rhine flows. It is truly beautiful and the city of Konstanz is lovely.

Take a ferry across to one of the islands. We headed to Meersburg, a charming medieval city that is basically just pedestrianized, with only a few roads for cars. Instead of driving, one finds oneself climbing stairways and walking up/down rather steep hills. It is famous for both its old and new castle, which are both stunning, and the city is composed of mostly beautiful wooden houses.

Konstanz, a university city, is a beautiful city with the most gorgeous cathedral. One can also see a section of the former city wall, and the MarktstÓ“tte provides the perfect location for some curio shopping.














I would go back in a heartbeat and truly loved this beautiful place.
