=== Islands === {{Anchor|Island anchor}} [[File:Insel Mainau im Bodensee.jpg|thumb|The island of Mainau]] {{Main|List of islands in Lake Constance}} In Lake Constance there are ten [[island]]s that are larger than {{cvt|2,000|m2}}. By far the largest is the [[island of Reichenau]] in the Untersee, which belongs to the municipality of [[Reichenau (Konstanz)|Reichenau]]. The former [[Reichenau Abbey|abbey of Reichenau]] is a [[UNESCO]] [[World Heritage Site]] due to its three early and highly medieval churches. The island is also known for its intensive cultivation of [[fruit]] and [[vegetables]]. The island of [[Lindau (island)|Lindau]] is located in the east of the Obersee, and is the second largest island. On it is the old town and main railway station of Lindau. The third largest island is [[Mainau]] in the southeast of Lake Überlingen. The owners, the family of [[House of Bernadotte|Bernadotte]], have set up the island as a tourist attraction and created botanical gardens and wildlife enclosures. Relatively large, but uninhabited and inaccessible because of their status as nature reserves, are two islands off the [[Wollmatinger Ried]]: the [[Triboldingerbohl]] which has an area of {{cvt|13|ha}} and Mittler or Langbohl which is just {{convert|3|ha|spell=in}} in area. Smaller islands in the Obersee are: * Dominican Island (''Dominikanerinsel'') separated by a six-metre-wide ditch from the old town of [[Konstanz|Constance]] which is home to the Steigenberger Hotel ({{convert|2|ha|spell=in|disp=sqbr}}) * The tiny island of [[Hoy (Lake Constance)|Hoy]] near Lindau * The ten artificial islands on the Rhine Causeway on the Fußach side * The little island by the port of [[Romanshorn]] * The Wollschweininsel (officially ''Wulesaueninsle'') by the Seepark in [[Kreuzlingen]] In the Untersee are: * the islands of [[Werd (Lake Constance)|Werd]], [[Mittleres Werdli]] and [[Unteres Werdli]] which together form the [[Werd Islands]] group are located at the outflow of the Rhine from the Untersee at Stein am Rhein into the [[High Rhine]]. * The so-called [[Liebesinsel (Lake Constance)|Liebesinsel]] ("Love Island", {{cvt|2,620|m2|disp=sqbr}}, southwest of the Mettnau peninsula.
