Meersburg – Krebsgarten
By the Meersburg Therme, the Krebsgarten ('crayfish garden') is a gently sloping mud slope whose shallows are overgrown with water plants in summer, full of crayfish – hence the name. An underwater trail of placed objects runs from about 5 to 20 m: a platform and a boat at 5 m, a bathtub at 12–13 m and a tent at 15 m. Objects come and go, so expect changes.
