Itinerary Overview: Day 5 – Exploring Lake Constance and Mainau Island
Lake Constance is our destination today. The lake is the third-largest freshwater lake in Central and Western Europe, and, the second-largest by volume! The lake is divided into two sections: the Upper Lake (Obersee) and the Lower Lake (Untersee).
Upon arrival at the lake promenade, we will take a scenic walk to explore the picturesque town of Constance. Our tour leader will accompany you through the town, highlighting its key attractions. You will be given free time to walk through the charming streets, shop, or simply enjoy the town at your own pace.
In the afternoon, we continue our scenic tour to Mainau Island, known as “The Flower Island.” Mainau is situated about 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Konstanz, and is the most popular tourist destination on Lake Constance (Bodensee). With its mild, semi-tropical climate, the island inspired Prince Nikolaus von Esterhazy to create a botanical garden in the early 19th century. Later, under Grand Duke Friedrich I, the gardens were expanded to include an arboretum, an Italian rose garden, and several other attractions, including the renowned Butterfly House.
After a fulfilling visit, we will return to our hotel for a relaxing evening.
Itinerary Overview: Day 6 – Schaffhausen and the Mighty Rhine Falls – Departure day!
After breakfast and luggage loading, we bid farewell to the charming village of Villingen. Today is departure day but we still have more to show you! Our driver will take us to visit the picturesque medieval town of Schaffhausen in Switzerland, known as one of Switzerland’s most beautiful towns, for its charm as well as the stunning oriel windows and intricately painted facades on the houses. Many of the town’s fine guild houses and merchant homes date back to the Gothic and Baroque periods. Towering over the Old Town is the imposing Munot Fortress, a symbol of the town’s rich history.
Nestled on the High Rhine between the Black Forest and Lake Constance, Schaffhausen is surrounded by lush vineyards, making it a popular destination for both holidaymakers and day trippers. We would not want you to leave without seeing this pretty place and here you will have some free time to explore the historical town center at your leisure.
Onward to one of Switzerland’s most iconic landmarks, the Rhine Falls which are located on the Rhine River in the High Rhine region. The falls are Europe’s most powerful, attracting over one million visitors annually. With a width of 150 meters and a height of 23 meters, the falls create a truly awe-inspiring sight, particularly when the water cascades at a rate of 600,000 liters per second during the summer.
