Tips from the Community
Since 1983, the Collegiate Church and Cathedral of St. Gallen (actually Collegiate Church of St. Gallus and Otmar) and the entire Abbey District have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The baroque new building of the Benedictine monastery church, built between 1755 and 1766, stands where Saint Gallus is said to be buried. From 720 onwards, Abbot Otmar organised the construction work around the crypt, and his successor Gozbert began the construction of the new monastery church from 820 onwards. The construction of the Collegiate Church in its present form - it is one of the last monumental sacred buildings of the late Baroque period - was planned by Gabriel Loser and Johann Caspar Bagnato. Its two 68-metre-high towers tower above the old town of St. Gallen.

In the old town, the artistically decorated oriel windows stand out, bearing witness to the travels of the St. Gallen textile merchants of the 18th and 19th centuries all over the world. They are a reminder of St. Gallen's importance in the linen and embroidery trade. There are more than a hundred such oriel windows in the old town. Some are multi-story, painted, or carved from wood.

The old town of Konstanz has a great atmosphere, even a few older inns - it is worth diving into the side streets

On the Swiss side, the cycle path runs along the railway a lot, which makes it a bit monotonous

There's so many great views around the lake, and this is one of them! On a clear day, you can see very far in the distance. But even with less-than-perfect weather, there's still a lot of natural beauty to enjoy.
