(below) More storks! We saw many in Franc and Spain also. (below right) One of the oldest preserved ancient settlements on earth at the museum of Pfahlbau in Unter Uhdingen. This museum is an active research project into Bronze Age (2,000 BC) The word “Pfahlbau” means built on pilings. Archeologists have discovered several sites on the Bodensee as well as other lakes where people built entire villages on pilings over the water. Below that is the seaside city of Unter Uhdingen.
