Last week, Sven and I headed to Konstanz for a few days.
We took the train from Hamburg all the way to one of Germany’s most southern towns. What a beautiful ride through the Black Forrest and countryside!
The main reason why we went to Konstanz was for Sven to hand in his masters thesis. I’m just so proud of him! He has been working so hard, powering through many months of both research and writing. Now he is finally finished after writing a book.
The first few photos were taken during a stop we made in Stuttgart for a design meeting I had scheduled. After the meeting, we had a little bit of time to wander around the city before catching the next train. It seemed really nice and I would certainly like to visit again for a longer stay. The south of Germany seems to be so much sunnier than the north, or maybe we were just lucky with the weather.
By the time our train finally arrived in Konstanz, the sun was beginning to set. This casts the most beautiful golden glow on the buildings across the bridge. We also managed to have a clear view of the Alps from across the lake – absolutely breathtaking.
The next day, we spent the afternoon exploring the old town of Konstanz. Since the city is on the Swiss-German border, it wasn’t bombed during the 2nd World War. Because of this, many of the old buildings are still standing and have been beautifully up-kept. The streets have such cozy vibes and I fell in love with the colorful pallet of each corner. Every building seemed to be painted a cheerful hue – a beautiful contrast against the gray sky. In other words, it’s easy to spend a full day admiring the charm of this little city.
Sadly, none of us were feeling very well and the weather didn’t get much better throughout the day so we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at our friends’ flat – but that was also nice 🙂
Since we were so close to Switzerland, S and I also made a little trip to Zurich during our stay. I’ll share those photos in my next post.
