LAKE CONSTANCE
Before package holidays began whisking the locals and their beach towels abroad in the
'70s and '80s, Lake Constance (Bodensee) was the German Mediterranean, with its mild
climate, flowery gardens and palm trees. The 'Swabian Sea', as it's nicknamed, is Central
Europe's third largest lake, straddling Switzerland, Germany and Austria. It's a relaxed
place to wind down for a few days, whether cycling through apple orchards and vineyards,
heron-spotting in the lake's wetlands, or taking to its glassy waters by canoe.

Come in spring for blossom, summer for lazy beach days and autumn for new wine. Al-
most everything shuts from November to February.
