Kreuzlingen
Kreuzlingen (alt. 404 m/1,326ft; pop. 17,000), sister city to the German town of Constance, is separated from that town only by the line of the frontier, which does not follow the Rhine but runs through the built-up area at some distance from the river. The town's name comes from a relic of the True Cross which is preserved in the conventual church.
