=== Peninsulas === In Lake Constance there are several peninsulas which vary greatly in size: * The [[Bodanrück]], the largest peninsula, separates the Überlinger See (Obersee) from the Untersee. It covers an area of {{cvt|112|km2}}. * The [[Mettnau]] in the Untersee, which extends towards the Island of Reichenau, separates Zeller See in the south from the Markelfinger Winkel in the north. It has a surface area of {{cvt|1.7|km2}}. * The [[Höri (Lake Constance)|Höri]], (about 45-square-kilometres) also extends towards the Island of Reichenau, and separates the Zeller See to the north from the Rheinsee to the south. * In the southeast, near the mouth of the new Rhine Canal, the [[Rhine Delta (Lake Constance)|Rohrspitz]] juts out about {{cvt|1.2|km}} into the lake and forms the western perimeter of the Bay of Fußach. It has an area of about 50 hectares. * The [[Wasserburg (Lake of Constance)|Wasserburg]] peninsula has a castle, Schloss Wasserburg, and the parish church of St. George. The peninsula is on the northeastern shore of the Obersee between the Bay of Nonnenhorn in the west and Bay of Wasserburg in the east. It has an area of {{cvt|2.3|ha}} and was an island until 1720, when the [[Fugger]]s built a causeway. In March 2009, 27 people lived on the peninsula. * The [[Galgeninsel]] ("Gallows Island") in the Bay of Reutin is also a peninsula that was formerly an island. It is only 0.16 hectares in area.
