Reichenau Island
St.Peter and Paul
The Reichenau Island in Lake Constance in southern Germany was declared world heritage in 2001 because of its monastery. Three churches were built on the island - St. Georg, St. Peter and Paul, and the Münster St. Maria and Markus. Most famous are the murals in St. Georg.
The island is also a famous for vegetable and wine farming. The Wollmatinger Ried next to the island is a big nature preserve, a reed area which is used by many birds for the stop-over during their annual migration.
The island is connected with the mainland by an artificial dam.
