GERMANY ~Reichenau Island - UNESCO ~

... Many nice views... this Monastic Island is the largest island in Lake Constance... among the most beautiful points of interest are the three well-preserved Romanesque churches, the monastery buildings, the administrative and representative buildings and the agriculture, which used to supply the monastery... the monastic tradition can still be seen today in the unique religious festivals and processions that take place on the island... it's also a great destination for cycling trips, swimming and diving... with a canoe, one can drive around the whole island.. you can visit the museum of of Reichenau  located in the “old town hall” in the centre of the island... Thanks a lot Sabine!【ツ】
