Konstanz Germany



The second part of our day trip took us to Konstanz Germany. Konstanz is a town located on Lake Konstanz which is just across the Switzerland border in the Northeast part of the country. Because we visited on Three Kings Day (or Epiphany), a public holiday in Germany and Switzerland, most of the stores and shops were closed. However, we were able to wander around the town and see many of the sites including the Cathedral, and from across the lake, the Austrian Alps. After dinner, we were able to see a small part of the Three Kings Day parade located in the center of town. Complete with costumes, music, a public reading, and singing, it was a nice experience for us. You can see our pictures of Konstanz here.
