Mainau

Germany / Baden-Wurttemberg / Konstanz /

Mainau is an island in Lake Constance (on the south shore of the Überlinger See, near the city of Konstanz). It is maintained as a garden island and a model of excellent environmental practices.

The island belongs to the Lennart Bernadotte-Stiftung (in English, the Lennart Bernadotte Foundation), an entity created by the late Lennart, Count Bernadotte af Wisborg, formerly a Prince of Sweden and Duke of Småland. It is one of the main tourist attractions of Lake Constance. Beside flowers, there is a great park landscape with beautiful views on the lake. There is also a greenhouse with tropical climate and thousands of butterflies in it.
