Lake Constanze – I’m coming!
Aug 20th, 2009 by struwwelchen
On Sunday I’ll start my first holidays this year; I’ll go to Langenargen, a village at the Lake Constanze.
It lays just about 30 km far from Bregenz in Austria, so we tried to get some tickets for the opera Aida on the floating stage at the Bregenzer Festspiele.
And we got it. On Sunday it’s the finishing of this festival and we are very keen of seeing this spectacular opera.
So we have to start early in the morning from Heidelberg, after 3 or 4 hours – I hope – we’ll arrive at our hotel in Langenargen, directly on the lake and at 4 pm we have to start to go to Bregenz.
Why so early? First there will be over 5000 persons to hear the opera and there’s only one street to get there; so there will be some traffic jam on our route. And second we planned to have dinner in Bregenz before the opera starts at 9 pm.
On Monday I’ll do some new geocaches and climb on the tower of the Montfort castle.
The Montfort castle is situated directly on the lake and the tower is maybe 15 m high. It’s built around 1861 – 1866 as “Villa Argena” and was a rebuilding of the old Montfort castle from the middle age.
Now I’ve to do a lot before we can start; finishing my work tomorrow afternoon, visiting the second geocaching meeting in Heidelberg, preparing my GPS, looking after my camera and last but not least packing my bag.
On Monday I’ll tell you something about visit in Bregenz and Aida.
