One of my favorite stops along a tour of Lake Constance ( Bodensee) with my friend was Meersburg, a place that has kept its old German farm town character with bright and colorful half-timbered houses along narrow streets. My friend pointed out how even the old mechanisms for lifting hay and food products to the lofts above still exist. That and one of the oldest castles in all of Germany made it quite an interesting place to visit. (2001)
