Pfullendorf to Meersburg through the village of Salem

Swan on the Bodensee.
In Meersburg Castle, this was "The hole of fear" where prisoners where lower 35m down into a dungeon with no way out and left to die. There was some examples of graffiti found, with things like "Stop grumbling dear fellow, this could be worse and God will be with us soon"..!!!
baggy trousers, and over my shoulder Switzerland.
In Meersburg Castle which was exceptionally old, there was this suit of armour among many, but it was famous for being one of the feared Black Knights, who meer presence apparently caused many trousers to be spoiled for miles around. I cant find the exact name of these knights tho, but they were really bad guys apparently, causing opposition to flee in terror as soon as they realised who they were up against... cool.
chilling at night looking back into town from near to where I was camped out.
Meersburg street scene.
Quite a name for an "Art" gallery. They really push the boundaries in Germany...
Meersburg water front on the Bodensee... an absolutley gorgeous town with view across to Switzerland and Austria and vast views of the Alps once again.
when I reached Meersburg, this dog summed up the feeling in the place... mello and nice.
in Salem
approaching the village of Salem through the marshes with my bike was ace..! I liked the sound of the place, as Ive read Salems Lot and it didnt dissapoint..! It was quite a spooky place, with old crumbling gamble roof house and a single large spire... great stuff..!
