236 BACK ROADS GERMANY

Germany’s Riviera

The giant Lake Constance (Bodensee) forms much of Germany’s southwest border with
Switzerland, which provides a spectacular Alpine backdrop. The lake’s balmy, dry climate
makes it perfect for lounging on beaches and for outdoor activities such as hiking,
cycling on lakeside trails, swimming and boating. The cosmo politan hub of Konstanz
has boat services to many points on the lake. Rich soils and a near-tropical climate have
enabled Mainau to maintain one of Germany’s most elaborate landscaped gardens,
while Reichenau has specialized in market gardening. The towns that line Bodensee’s
northern shore include the attractive, medieval Meersburg, which boasts the oldest
castle in Germany. To the east, Friedrichshafen, once the hub for Zeppelin flights around
the world, has a fine museum devoted to the airships. Further east, just over the Bavarian
border, Lindau Island awaits with its charming half-timbered old town.
