ah. took out some of our favorite travel picks on instagram. followers on dw travel. ah, ah, back on the sailing board with skipper and joyce fund this month. it's time for a few questions. joyce joyce, are from the netherlands. why did you end up your late to fall by chance? actually. i studied architecture. my husband got a job in germany and i came with him but couldn't find work. then i thought i can sail and started looking for those jobs. there were offers from a sailing school on lay constance and one incense book. so i thought i'd go for the one here today. why not the northern germany, but for me it was too similar to holland, the temperature, the weather. sure,

the sailing would be a bit more active than here. but i enjoyed the landscape in london, closeness to the l. and i also enjoy the villages here on lake constancy. there is no comparison to holland. i'm so glad i was here that you have to get a ceiling license, especially for a constant. even people who already have one is not at or what i sense you have. but why for, by because here there are rules which don't exist anywhere else. you need the distance, you must, from the sure how to approach the sure. and how to drop anchor at the sun, and maybe not so much here at lake getting into. but towards upper lake constance, you get real soon. when would you come down from the else? what might be totally different? here are the dorm and when dorm approaches, you often don't see it coming because of the hills here. oh, so you're really taken by surprise. when you're now during the pandemic, which is unfortunately already year old. how did it go with ceiling?

i guess it has decreased, or was it allowed to continue? i mean, you're out in the fresh air. yeah. it was a little while since we were allowed to do that. last year we were only able to start at the end of may or beginning of journalism uni. but then so many people came, it was really homeless, fluked this. but what we also noticed during the pandemic was people rediscovered sailing or discovered they still had a boat lying in the harbor and boat in half, and i forgot my boat. exactly. so navy was during the pandemic, you saw a lot more boats on the water. no, mom, normally it's pretty full in the summer, but now it was even fuller. we were all booked at to oscar. thank you. my pleasure . i have arrived in math book here on the problem. not. there is usually a lot going on. now,

during the pandemic, that's not the case. to be old town extends up the slope. this is the thing is landmark mask or castle and right next it is the castle mill. it was operated right up until 952. and today it's a nice backdrop for a photo, and of course, i'd like to have a picture. so maybe elizabeth, you can help me out. yes, sure. here. see the council is best known for the fact that the famous german poet i met from those who lived and died here in the mid 19th century. math book,

boys are short of the few steps and i'm already at the new palace which served as the residence of the prince bishops of constance. the best thing here is the lake view of there you can see my now the famous flower islands on lay constance, and it's especially beautiful there in the spring when the chill a start emerging from the ground. well, here's a little sneak peak just for you. the ah, the island of ny now is a wash incense and blossoms and a bug with b. it's a this the nation for flower lovers over a 1000000 blue here, each spring, transforming my now into a sea of color. this garden paradise is overseen by the baron adults and noble family counseling patina is the managing director

splendidly good morning. it's nice and getting nicer as if he's been there fooling the joy his huge when spring come over and you see the magic nature conjure up, namely must have flowers like this to some point, but i'm really looking forward to having other fantasy and but i guess the 60 gardeners work here to keep the flowers booming, the years on they plan, which kinds of bouts should be planted, where in the falls to ensure that all the patterns in details emerge as envisioned in the spring like this relief of a conference next to the they're not, does casual stands the palm, the house in spring visitors can marble not only at the palm trees,

but also it's thousands of or kids in the room. ah many are also presented online paper in some of the joy of bring into your home all the way to imagine and so forth. and those who visit my now in person can stroll around the island, $45.00 hector's and joy, its natural beauty, the silver spring roses and summer, downy, as in the fall and peaceful landscapes in winter. the island of my no changes with the seasons

that sit down on your billing and my next stop, because the city tour awaits me here. after all the new building in this part of lake constance, the lake who bending his name's the tour, begins on the city's prom. not the longest of all at lake constance gob before there was no landing stage and no prominence. and instead, a row of houses stood here forming a city wall against the lake and the green building. what is the house foul and petted him and speaking regarding the name? i think we own it with a lazy slob who just sat around. but the name actually comes from the water that was completely lapping against these buildings. because of that, the building was always damp and full of mold for leading the building to say the house had a fowl skin or hide the name of the house and found him posts. so follow me

in the 20th century, the large from not was built into the lake. not only is it beautiful, it also serves a practical purpose. the sewage that used to drain into the lake and heavily polluted it runs under it. those times are over today. lake constance is known for its clear and clean water use. we had into the old towns, the wedding and with one the richest count on the conference, and therefore needed good fortifications, including this, artificially created ditch. at some point, however, it was no longer needed because we're systems were constantly being expanded, but the us had an idea when they miss emitter. when an epidemic broke out in the

middle ages, it was really bad because the academics were playing alcohol or a small pop done on the shelf and outside the city gate with no one wanted to help them kind because then the evening us thought we don't need to do that anymore, we have this in close sanction of mode. we no longer need fits. we'll turn that into a nice the nation was clear that says yes, that's the one. that is why the digit is still called black. i'm gotten, or the smallpox trench today to also lead to the st. nicholas minster where the cars to all tar by the famous sculptor. europe is particularly impressive. last up in the hopes that the central square of the building was a town home. the can to get a house,

a former warehouse has been here of the mom we now standing on the market elsewhere, which in early centuries was the richest and biggest on all of lake constance adopted to ensure that happening as the found benefited from there had to pay a loan were allowed to shop here the 1st hour on an awesome day, i called when the 1st hour was over, the nitro, that ran, and everyone else could come back yet still, if i did, this will no longer. today. you can show in the 1st hour, died so much as the next time they were going back to visiting it. my failing adventure is over. it now is just a matter of maneuvering the boat back into the harbor and damaged so we have to attach defenders to the railing which ensure that the boat doesn't get scratched

when moored so thank you handed out here to him. i'm modal. wrap the rope around one name or take it back and cross it and around again. you're right. good. i know you got it. now i've even learned a real seamans, not the clothes hitch. done . and we've got solid ground under our feet again. it's still very quiet here on lay constance due to the panoramic. but as a reporter, i was able to discover this beautiful region in southern germany for you and things are looking up. so i think you will also be able to come here soon and maybe fail
