Konstanz is a German city in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg located on the southern edge of Lake Konstanz and bordering Switzerland. It is the largest and most densely populated city of this great lake, powered by the Rhine River and shared with two other countries: Switzerland and Austria

Nestled on the largest lake in Germany, Konstanz has been home to the only bridge that crosses the Rhine River for many years. The old town, which is one of Konstanz's main attractions, holds the city's famous cathedral, originally dating back to the 7th century. Due to a border issue, Konstanz is located on a Swiss land mass, with the Swiss town of Kreuzlingen in close proximity.
