No. 11 of Fall Viewing Attractions in Germany

4.2
Affenberg Salem is a charming natural wildlife experience. Here, you can walk into a forest where animals coexist harmoniously and see macaques roaming freely and playing, as if you were in their natural habitat. The park not only features monkey groups but also a white stork nesting site, allowing you to observe the lives of these elegant birds. In addition, there are fallow deer, ponds inhabited by water birds, and nature trails and forest paths, where strolling brings a sense of tranquility. If you enjoy nature walks and wildlife, there is also a "Treewalk" route that uses suspension bridges and platforms to let you overlook the treetops from above and interact with monkeys up close. Throughout the changing seasons, the forest and animal views each have their own charm: spring and summer are full of vitality, autumn turns golden, and winter offers a different kind of quiet beauty.Salem · 10.8 km from Konstanz

What travellers say about Konstanz

梦露夫人December 25, 2022

Lake Constance is bordered by Austria, Switzerland and Germany. The side of Lake Constance in Germany where we live is the Port of Fiteli. We like to take a boat from the Port of Fiteli to the other side of the lake. The whole journey is on the lake. There are many trips a day on that boat. The whole journey takes 50 minutes one way. We go to the mall on the other side and return after shopping. Lake Constance is very beautiful. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. The Alps can be seen from the direction of Switzerland.

Meersburg literally means "small town by the lake". Looking across the lake from Constance, there is a hill planted with grapes, and on the top of the hill there is a medieval castle, which is Meersburg.
