The story behind the image
Lake Constance can be the perfect summer holiday destination if you’re looking for a combination of beaches, mountains, and culture. The other day I shared an image of a Zepplin Car at the Zepplin Museum in Friedrichshafen – a great museum, and well worth a visit.
Equally interesting and certainly a highlight for any trip to Lake Constance is the Pfahlbauten Museum in Unteruhldingen. Opened a century ago, in August 1922, it presents a prehistoric village that has been reconstructed from underwater findings at this place. The exhibition explains how people lived and worked about 6,000 years ago, and the friendly and experienced museum staff explains some of the exhibits and how they (might) have been used in real life.
This image shows the exterior area of the museum – the houses on stilts, connected by bridges.
P.S.: Please take your time for the visit, and bring some time, because more than 300,000 people visit the museum every year now, so there may be a queue at the main entrance.
