The very first picture was taken from right next to our hotel; in fact, I think the yellow wall is part of the building. Further down, can you see the large red plant pots around the fountain in the picture of the cobbled square? I didn't care for these pots in the least, I found them way too "loud". The scene was colourful enough without them!
Lindau consists of two parts: the island and the (much bigger and generally more modern) city on the land side. There are two connections between the two parts; a road bridge for cars, and a dam for the railway. Both links also have pedestrian paths.
The old town on the island is, thankfully, kept largely car free. It makes walking here a pleasure!
A beautiful place where there are few cars! Someday i have to visit.
ReplyDeleteIt is well worth a visit, but will be rather crowded in the summer.
DeleteWhat a lovely place, your photos are fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuch a beautiful place to visit, thanks for sharing it with us!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome - I am glad my readers are not yet sick and tired of Lindau :-)
DeleteLindau is lovely, though a few of those alley ways looked a bit claustrophobic to me. But beautiful, and I would love to be walking there.
ReplyDeleteClaustrophobic they certainly are, and in some of it, I would not want to be walking on my own in a dark night, but it is very picturesque.
DeleteWhat struck me most about the town is just how few people there were out and about. As you said there would be more in the tourist season but even so it did seem very quiet. A place well worth a visit though.
