Seehas Railway in front of the council building

The Seehas Railway is a rail link between Konstanz and Engen. The name doesn’t derive from the existing fish Seehase (lumpsucker) but from a fabulous creature supposed to live in the western part of Lake Constance. [German]

People there believe the Seehas is a being half hare, half fish. In the photo above, the train passes a famous place in Constance: The Council Building (Konzilgebäude). In this building Martin V was elected pope in 1417.
