What travelers say about Konstanz
梦露夫人December 25, 2022

Lake Constance is bordered by Austria, Switzerland and Germany. The side of Lake Constance in Germany where we live is the Port of Fiteli.
We like to take a boat from the Port of Fiteli to the other side of the lake. The whole journey is on the lake. There are many trips a day on that boat. The whole journey takes 50 minutes one way. We go to the mall on the other side and return after shopping.
Lake Constance is very beautiful. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. The Alps can be seen from the direction of Switzerland.

Meersburg literally means "small town by the lake". Looking across the lake from Constance, there is a hill planted with grapes, and on the top of the hill there is a medieval castle, which is Meersburg.
