Pisa

Remzi Gokdag — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 23:41:22 +0000

The leaning Tower of Pisa is famous because it leans. Although it was designed to be perfectly vertical, it started to lean during construction. However, even without this famous characteristic, this building would still be one of the most remarkable architectural structures from medieval Europe. It stands at 60 metres and until 1990 was leaning at about a 10 degree angle.

Swiss November

It was one of those perfect Swiss november which occur more frequently in memory than in life. Fall is my favorite season in Zurich. The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the country slowly changes its color from green to yellow.

Lindau

The town Lindau started its history on an island in the Lake Constance. Looking on a map you will find Lindau in the remotest south-western corner of Bavaria, which forms a triangle with the neighboring countries Austria and Switzerland. Around the year 800 a monastery was founded here and 100 years later the settlement Lindau was mentioned in writing. In 1274-1278 Lindau became an imperial town and even today the historical old town center on the Island Lindau displays through the numerous, well preserved architectural highlights the importance and prosperity it already had in the middle ages. There are many ways to discover Lindau, stroll through the charming old town center, pay a visit to the beautiful harbor entrance, take a boat or join a cruise on a sailing yacht to admire the views from afar, or go up in the air with a balloon for a truly unique experience.
