Description
English: Lake Constance, visible in this Copernicus Sentinel-2 image acquired on 29 July 2024, lies on the border between Germany, Austria and Switzerland and is one of the most important natural treasures in Central Europe. Covering an area of almost 540 square kilometres, the lake is not only an important source of fresh water, but also a hotspot of biodiversity. Several areas of Lake Constance have been designated as Natura 2000 sites, underlining its importance for nature conservation at European level. These protected areas include vital reed beds, wetlands and riparian forests, which support a rich diversity of species.
