Lake of Constance and the Island of Mainau

A visit to the Lake of Constance in the border triangle Germany - Austria - Switzerland is always worth while. There are many possibilities to become familiar with the lake. In regular passages course boats connect the most important sea cities and excursion destinations. A visit to the Island of Mainau should be included. From spring until autumn the Island of Mainau shows a magnificent picture of a varying sea of flowers. In springtime the season in the park starts with a big orchid show in the house of palms and with millions of tulips and narcissus. After the roses' flowering time in summer a colourful dahlia exhibition finishes the season in autumn. Germany's biggest house of butterflies shows the bright world of the tropics. Distance: 160 km
