Amazing scenery

Imagine sitting on a German beach in sunny 85 F (30 C) weather, eating a barbeque, lazily watching sailboats drift by, as across the lake you can see the hills of Austria and Switzerland - and further on the snow capped peaks of the Alps. Imagine charming little towns dotted along a magnificant coastline - loaded with stores, cafes, and quaint hotels.... Imagine a beautiful Island in this lake....

This is the Bodensee (Lake Constance)
