Lindau Travel Blogs

Background: As Europe's largest economy and most populous nation, Germany remains a key member of the continent's economic, political, and defense organizations. European power struggles immersed Germany in two devastating World Wars in the first half of the 20th century and left the country occupied by the victorious Allied powers of the US, UK, France, and the Soviet Union in 1945. With the advent of the Cold War, two German states were formed in 1949: the western Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) and the eastern German Democratic Republic (GDR). The democratic FRG embedded itself in key Western economic and security organizations, the EC, which became the EU, and NATO, while the Communist GDR was on the front line of the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. The decline of the USSR and the end of the Cold War allowed for German unification in 1990. Since then, Germany has expended considerable funds to bring Eastern productivity and wages up to Western standards. In January 1999, Germany and 10 other EU countries introduced a common European exchange currency, the euro.

Hello, We are in a village in Southern Germany near Lake Constance right now, which is on the Swiss/German/Austrian border. We went to Oktoberfest last night, so pardon any spelling or grammatical mistakes. After Austria we travelled by train up to a town in Germany called Offenburg. We had not notified anybody that we were going to be in the area, and we arrived somewhat late and were unable to contact anybody by telephone, so we were left with two choices: we could sleep in the station, where the weather is about 40 F, or we could go to the hotel.

The Happy End of Germany!

 Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Lindau
The first brochure I picked up at the tourist office said ~"The Happy End of Germany!" and oh my, what a happy place it is! i think i took over 100 pictures in the two short days I was here! This was on a recommendation of Jess, her sister lives near here and they like to vacation in Lindau, so i thought, why not!?! I was absolutely enamored the minute the train pulled into town. Lindau is an island on the Bodensee (lake constance) which borders austria, switzerland, and germany. The train passed over an isthmus to get to the island [View Full Entry]

Hey everybody! I’m sorry I haven’t written since I think last Saturday (todays wed I believe). That day Mom & I drove to Munich from Rothenberg (4-5 hours drive) and in between we stopped by the city of Ulm which was where the tallest steeple as well as the birthplace of Albert Einstein….it was a cool city and we found this candy shop that had these cute little candy figurines of animals and little things. So after an hour there(& finding the shirt I was meant to get there:) we headed off to Munich upon arrival an hour later then [View Full Entry]

Finally Lindau

 Europe » Germany » Bavaria » Lindau
Back on the 10:02 boat again today, but this time going for a total of 2.5 hours (passing yesterday's ports) to the island of Lindau. This is as far south as one can go in Germany so I guess I'll now have been to the 4 corners. For some strange reason, I've wanted to go to Lindau for about 35 years, so it was finally happening. This very old island city did not disappoint me with its seaside promenade (even better than Meersburg), narrow lanes, restored 14th and 15th century buildings, market squares and greenery all over the place. It could [View Full Entry]
