A day trip from Konstanz to Meersburg returning by boat across the Bodensee. We drove around Lake Constance from Konstanz and stopped in Birnau to view the church there.

Day 1260 – August 13th 2017

The view over the Bodensee is pretty special as well.

And this is the impressive Catholic church.

From here it was only a short drive to Meersburg where we had a coffee and ice cream coupe before walking around the town.
