Tips from the Community
In addition to the wonderfully preserved half-timbered houses, many fountains are also to be admired. These were formerly used primarily as watering troughs for livestock, but partly also as washing places.

A view of Lake Constance and the Rhine Valley describes one of the most impressive landscapes in the southern German and Austrian-Swiss Alpine foothills. The sentence reads like a title, a caption, or a description of a viewpoint. To help you get the most out of it, I'll summarize the key aspects and give you a feel for the region. Lake Constance: The third largest lake in Central Europe, bordered by Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It almost resembles an inland sea and offers wide, open horizons. Rhine Valley: The valley of the Alpine Rhine, stretching from the Grisons region through Liechtenstein and Vorarlberg to Lake Constance. It is broad, fertile, and flanked by high Alpine mountain ranges.
