Did you know that the mighty River Rhine flows through the Lake of Constance? In German the Lake of Constance – deriving from the town of Constance (or Konstanz in German) – is Bodensee. This is taken from a tiny village at the farthest end of the Bodensee, Bodman. Which is odd as there are many, many more towns which are much more important than the picturesque small Bodman: This is Friedrichshafen, for example, home of the Zeppelin air ships in the past or of ZF, maker of gear boxes and world market leader.

Evidence (2014-06-16): Lake Constance is the third largest lake in Central Europe, and sits at the point where Austria, Switzerland, and Germany intersect. It’s a scenic bulge in the Rhine River popular with tourists for its castles, boating, bike trails, and Alpine scenery. Locals call it by the old German name, "Bodensee," but in most other European languages, it’s named for the city of Konstanz, on its western shore. On land, the borders between the three nations are well-demarcated. Since 2007, for example, the border between Switzerland and Germany has been marked not by a fence, but by a work of art: 22 giant statues by Johannes Dörflinger representing the cards in a tarot deck. But in the water, everything changes. Look at Lake Geneva on a map and you’ll see that the French-Swiss border passes clearly through the lake. But on a map of Lake Constance, the international borders just end at the waterline. There’s never been a treaty demarcating the border, so Lake Constance remains a borderless black hole in the middle of Europe!

Evidence (2017-07-28): Tripsite Traveler - Lake Constance [...] Jerry suggested this cycle tour several years ago. My reaction, "not me." On previous bike trips I was at the back of the pack. Once I reached the top of a hill, the group was on their way. "Get an ebike," Elaine suggested. Lake Constance has history, grand scenery and is new territory. Water is my element. If cycling proves too hard I can take a bus! [...] Lake Constance, Bodensee in German, is filled by melting snow from the mountains. The water level changes as much a 3 meters (10 feet). The surrounding plein spreads for miles. That makes cycling a breeze. But early settlers could not build on land and be protected from floods and be near trading routes that cross the lake. So they built these stilt villages. Global warming may bring this concept back!
