Show transcript
'Der Bodensee' (Lake Constance) is a lake that borders Germany, Switzerland and Austria.
'Nach' means 'to' with place names, continents and most countries, and is never followed by a definite article ('the').
'Zu' means 'to' when used with places with articles, e.g., 'Ich gehe zu dem Park.'. The article is in the dative case.
Use 'zu' with people, professions and events, e.g., 'Ich gehe zu dem Lehrer.'.
'Zu' and 'dem' can be shortened to 'zum'. 'Zu' and 'der' can be shortened to 'zur'.
