Day in Überlingen (the name means over reach)

22 Jun

We started the day with a panoramic boat tour of this part of Lake Konstanz. It’s a very large lake, the 3rd largest in Europe. The water was very calm the sun was shining so it was a pleasant ride. While out on the lake a Zeppelin flew right over us, something we haven’t seen before.

It is huge!

Many towns and cities line the lakeshore.

We spent the rest of the afternoon looking around Überlingen and walking on the promenade.

Hotel not recommended.

View of the lake from up high.

A very interesting and bizarre sculpture by local artist Peter Lenk.

More interesting carvings.

An ancient tower, part of the old walled city.

Hansel and Gretel house?

Beautiful fuschias.

In the evening we found a herring festival with music, refreshments and food.

A choir of mostly men singing and playing folk tunes.

We opted to not take in the eating of the herring but did enjoy the music and a glass of wine.
