Summer 1994
I absolutely adore Reichenau! It is a short walk from Constance along the river that flows into the lake. It is an island in the river and connected to the mainland by a causeway. It is called the Blumeninsel or flower island because of the beautiful flowers all over the island, it is so colorful and gorgeous! It is famous for it’s Benedictine Abbey from the 8th century and the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
Summer 1994
Meersburg is located a short boat ride across Lake Constance from Constance. The town is built on a steep vineyard right by the lake, has been a tourist attraction since the medieval times due to it’s castle, many museums and how beautiful it is.
Summer 1994
I studied German Literature at the Universitat Konstanz in 1994. It is a bustling University town right on Lake Constance or better known as the Bodensee. The lake shares the shore with Germany, Austria and Switzerland and a fabulous backdrop of the alps. Constance is one of the only big cities in Germany that was not destroyed in WWII because it is actually on the Swiss side of the river so it was too close to take a chance of bombing it.
