Bodensee
The area around Lake Konstanz is known as the Bodensee. The lake is bordered by Germany on the north, Switzerland to the southwest and Austria to the southeast. On a clear day there is a great view of the Alps across the water. There are three major islands in the lake: Lindau, Mainau and Reichenau. Mainua, also know as the Blumen Insel (Flower Island) is a gardener's paradise.
