salesman fact and it starts to rain, but we're lucky. there is no storm. the 1st leg of our journey is the longest. we're heading to the city of constance. well, right now it's raining. so we take a little break. and while we do that, we have a brief overview of what you should know about the city. ah, oh, constant. the largest urban center on lake constance is a city full of history. at the harbor entrance, imperial welcomes the excursion boats. the 9 me to to stop today is the cities landmark.

constance lies right on the border with switzerland. you can simply walk across it . in the middle of the city, constance is old town, which dates from the middle ages is still well preserved. that's largely due to a clever trick. during world war 2, rather than black out their windows for protection during bombing rights. the people of constance kept their lights, burn this food, the allies into thinking these buildings belong to neutral switzerland from 141421418 world. history was written, and constance, 3 men had laid claim to the papal throne, causing a schism or split in the catholic church. the problem was to be solved the council of constance, with delegations from the entire christian world assembling on the city. for 4 years constance burst of the seams. this old trading house in the port is where the

my way leads me to the largest lied on lake constance, the so called hamlet. it lies on a small headland in the lake. ha. i think it's still too cold to go swimming at this spot right here. it feels like i'm standing in the middle of the lake. on the right, you can see lake you berlington. that's the area where i'm sailing. right behind me, is over the or up a lay confidence. on the other side, you can see myth walk. on this side, you can see the city of constance. well, as my personal highlights in the background, the alps in summer, it is a super crowded here. there is some beating lawn sports facilities, facing islands and much more. it mission is free. it's very quiet here now. perfect

for little break. ah, lay constance is a popular holiday destination in germany because this region has so much to offer water nature, mountains, beautiful towns and cities. and in order to show you all that we set out with our drone and film the top sites from above. ah lake constance covers an area of some 540 square kilometers and is up to 63 kilometers in length. some call it this way, be in c. on it's sure was like picturesque towns like mass book, with its half timber houses. castle,

new palace and vignette. ah, lindau is also a popular destination for day trip. as the bavarian lion guards the port of its old town, which is built on an island lake constance is home to yet small islands the best. no one is the flower island of mine out with its castle, large cock. and floral. od ah . in contrast, lots of vegetables grow on height. now the largest island in lake constance, but that's not why unesco declared it a world heritage site. in the middle ages, kind, she now was a religious senator of the christian occident,

a job in germany and i came with them but couldn't find work with. then i thought i can sail and started looking for those jobs. there were offers from a sailing school on lake constance and one in friends, poor credit. so i thought i'd go for the one here or to say, but why not northern germany bye 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 and the closeness to the alps. and i also enjoy the villages here on lake constancy. there is no comparison to holland at all on for g life. i once heard that you have to get a sailing license, especially for li constance. even people who already have want him no matter what license you have him, but wife will by because here there are rules which don't exist anywhere else in the distance. you must keep from the shore, how to approach the shore demons and how to drop anchor. and maybe not so much here at lake nibbling in. but towards upper la constance, you get real food and winds,

which come down from the alps. and what might be totally different. here are the storms when a storm approaches, but you often don't see it coming because of the hills here. oh, so you're really taken by surprise. when you get now during the pandemic, which is unfortunately already in a year old. how did it go with sailing? i guess it has decreased, or was it allowed to continue? well, i mean, you're out in the fresh air look. yeah. now as volumes of in a while since we were allowed to do this with this last year, we were only able to start at the end of may or beginning of january on uni. but then so many people came, it was really common asthma looked. this is, but we also noticed during the pandemic, was people rediscovered sailing or discovered. they still had a boat lying in the harbor boat, him awful ega. i forgot my boat can be, i can know exactly so, and they do us doing the pandemic. you saw a lot more boats on the water. no, mom is normally it's pretty full in the summer, but now it was even fuller. ok. we were all booked up to let our school book. thank

a lazy slob who just sat around. but the name actually comes from the water that was constantly lapping against these buildings. of yours because of that. the building was always damp and full of mold, leading the you billing it to say the house had a foul skin or height, thus the name the house some found on pallets. i was from olive beds. 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. we had into the old town reverting in was once the richest town on lay constance and therefore needed good fortifications,

including this, artificially created ditch. at some point, however, it was no longer needed because the weird systems were constantly being expanded, but the new building us had an idea when they mc emitted, when an epidemic broke out in the middle ages found it was really bad because lap a damage were playing cholera oh smallpox and wasn't on the same, was shoved outside the city gates and no one wanted to help them kind of so that then by the opening us thought, we don't need to do that any more. and we have this enclosed sanction of mount. we no longer need tickets, we'll turn that into an isolation war to okay. and i say when you're start soon, right, that is why the ditch is still called black on gum or smallpox trench. today. o 2 also leads as to the saint nicholas minster where the carved altar by the famous sculptor york soon is particularly impressive.
