The next info stop heading north and towards the Überlinger See is the "Info Stop Konstanz-Staad Ferry" or the "Info Stop Meersburg" (accessible during the tourist season by passenger ship). Here in Konstanz, the "Palafittes Route around the Lower Lake" also begins, with the next info stops in "Allensbach" (on the northern shore of the Lower Lake) and "Gottlieben" (on the southern shore of the Lower Lake).

Historic old town of Konstanz (historical building / construction)
Marktstätte , 78462 Konstanz, Deutschland id: 74 On the way to the Rosgarten Museum, you will likely pass through the Konstanz Marktstätte. It is one of the central squares in the well-preserved historic old town of Konstanz. Here and along the alleys of the spacious pedestrian zone, you will see richly decorated houses, some with painted construction dates reaching back as far as the 11th century. Restaurants and shops invite you to linger and explore. The good preservation of the old town is thanks to a wise strategy during World War II, when the city s proximity to Switzerland was used, and blackout measures were avoided to prevent bombing. As a result, bomber crews could not distinguish between German and Swiss territory. (c) Foto: MTK Marketing und Tourismus Konstanz GmbH, Dagmar Schwelle |

Art border Konstanz / Kreuzlingen (landmark)
Klein-Venedig-Weg , 78462 Konstanz, Deutschland info@doerflingerstiftung.org, https://www.doerflingerstiftung.org/ id: 106 Instead of a dividing border fence, sculptures by artist Johannes Dörflinger have marked the national border between Germany and Switzerland since 2007. They represent a new border culture that can serve as a model for many other border regions. Borderless, creative, open: with 22 individual stainless steel sculptures representing the trump cards of the Tarot, the "art border" has for over 10 years formed a unique and attractive boundary between Konstanz (Germany) and Kreuzlingen (Switzerland). With motifs such as the Magician, the Empress, the Wheel of Fortune, the Fool, and many more, the sculptures symbolize the conditions of human existence and, thanks to their lightness, offer viewers space for a wide range of perspectives and interpretations.

Rhine kilometre zero (landmark)
Sternenplatz , 78467 Konatanz, Deutschland id: 68 The pile dwellers used dugout canoes to transport goods on the water—on Lake Constance and the Rhine—or to visit their neighbors. They paddled along the shores of Lake Constance or the Rhine, or even across to the opposite shore. But what method did they use to estimate distances? Did they already know units of measurement like kilometers several thousand years ago, or did they plan their journeys based on the position of the sun, sunrise and sunset, or by counting paddle strokes? Did they know where the Rhine flows and how long it is? Today, we use river kilometers to determine distances between two locations and to get a sense of the time needed from start to destination. At the Old Rhine Bridge in Konstanz, river kilometer "zero" was established on April 1st, 1939. (c) Foto: Förderverein Pfahlbau-Welterbestätte Litzelstetten-Krähenhorn e.V., Barbara Benesch |
