They still exist: turtle-divers, stony travelers, and blooming eye-catchers in the densely populated area around Lake Constance. Away from the promenades, excursion boats, and harbor cafés, it is worth taking a look at the often, but not always, hidden corners along the shore and in the hinterland of the Swabian Sea, where natural chatter, mysterious swamps, magnificent floral carpets, and fairytale gorges enchant visitors in a quiet and unspoiled way. This book is neither a hiking guide nor a nature conservation textbook, but a heartfelt invitation to view and experience the vibrant Lake Constance region and the idyllic Upper Swabia from a natural perspective. Surprises are guaranteed, even for long-time residents of the lake!.
