 We’ll start our scenic trip in Friedrichshafen at Lake Constance, home to the famous Zeppelin. In the background one can spot the Friedrichshafen cathedral.

Friedrichshafen’s small harbor. From here the ferries start to cross the lake into Austria and Switzerland. It’s a wonderful journey

Bernd: Very enjoyable tour from border to border...always loved the valleys (and nooks and crannies) of the Alps...many of which seen here on this trip!

And, of course, this Junkers Trimotor remains a classic!

A perfect flight for the summer; livery and landscape couldn't fit better.
