Twelve days after twelve days – soaked in three jewelry and nine -behind -the -art logs across Switzerland, Germany, France, and Luxembourg – 953 km login – we have finally landed in Constitutions. The car is gone, our legs are spread, and Rhine is a very quiet signal in this journey under our hotel window. Even better? The hotel gave us a pass that opens free local buses and trains. The German idea of ​​”hospitality” really nails it.
A city made of centuries
Constitations is not just a stop at the edge of a beautiful lake – this is a time capsule. As has been established Constitia In the first century CE, the town used to grow around Roman checkpoints before opening at the medieval trade center. The biggest claim of fame? Host Council of Constitution (1414-1418)A four -year -old gathering that ends 40 -year -old Popal Schizzam. For a moment in history, Constitution was the power center of Europe, there were plenty of conspiracies to fill the drawing kings, scholars, and HBO series.
Unlike many German cities, Constitutions survived a heavy bombing in WWII. Trick? Residents left the lights at night to mix the lights in neighboring Switzerland. The gambling saved its old city in the Middle Ages, leaving the streets where frequency, streets and Gothic spirs still whispered their stories.
