The windows of Rothenburg fully display the taste of the owner. Each shop is a work of art, and all small commodities want to be treasured. The various iron signs are a unique landscape in the European town. In addition to admiring the exquisite skills of the craftsmen, they are also deeply attracted by its artistic charm. Each iron sign reflects the extraordinary taste and interest of the shop owner.
It makes people want to open the door and find out what's inside. Today Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in Augsburg, which was brought by two merchant families, Fugger and Wales, who operated distant trade and banking businesses. The Cathedral and City Hall in Augsburg only stayed for one night, without much lingering, and could provide endless help to everyone.
Please understand! It has been exactly one week since I came to southern Germany. The sky is so blue that it makes me want to cry, but the sunny weather will come to an abrupt end from this afternoon, in order to climb the Zugspitze before it rains.
Yunluo and An Chuyu headed straight for Germany's highest peak from Augsburg before dawn. The clouds in the distance gradually turned crimson, coloring the entire blue sky. The busy highway carried the hurried commuters, and the sky slowly woke up. To get to Zugspitze, you have to pass through Austria. Yunluo and An Chuyu bought tickets at a supermarket at a gas station along the way.
The European version can be used unlimitedly every day. In Germany, there are supermarkets at almost every gas station, where you can buy all kinds of breakfast, food and water, just like the convenience store where Yunluo and Anchu met. The sun is out, and we are going to see the snow-capped mountains in our thickest clothes. We took the cable car to the top of the mountain at the ticket office. When we opened the mountain gate, there was no snow as expected, but scattered snow on the top of the mountain.
The smoke was rolling in the mountains, making the Zugspitze looming. Looking around the magnificent mountains and rivers of Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland, I quickly picked up my camera and stood at the highest point in Germany to record the unforgettable moment. There is a cafe and a restaurant on the top of the mountain. The cafe has a view of the Zugspitze, and the restaurant has a view of the Elpsee Lake on the back.
Coffee and lunch are both indispensable. The restaurant is decorated with logs, returning to nature. It allows people who climb to the top of the mountain to relax. The food in the restaurant is also quite good. Whether it is simple pasta or tasty steak, coming here is definitely a double enjoyment of the eyes and the taste. So much so that Yunluo fell asleep unconsciously after a full meal. After going down the mountain, it is the Elpsee Lake.
Like an emerald falling at the foot of the mountain. There is a nice hotel next to it, where you can see the entire lake. If you have time, staying here for a night is definitely a good choice. The restaurant connected to the hotel is also very beautiful. Many tourists who come down the mountain enjoy the food by the lake. Leaving the Zugspitze and heading to Fussen, we passed the mural town of Obergrainao.
It is a good place for tourists to stay when visiting Zugspitze. Every house in the town is surrounded by flowers, and the vivid murals make passers-by stand still. The quiet town is like a paradise, and local Germans often come here for vacation and enjoy life. At three o'clock in the afternoon, it began to drizzle, and Yunluo and An Chuyu returned to Germany along Austria.
When it comes to natural scenery, Austria is far superior to Germany. Its mountain tops are as high as razor blades, and red-roofed cottages are scattered at the foot of the mountains. The cutest thing is their sheep, with bells tied around their necks. As their bodies swing, the crisp sound echoes in the valley. Such a scene is not in an oil painting, but a real existence.
Arriving in Fussen, the rain was getting heavier. The clouds had blocked the mountains and there was almost no view of the lake. Hotel Sommer was the best hotel Yunluo had booked during this trip to Europe. It was located on the shore of Forggensee Lake, with a large open lawn in front of the door, and Neuschwanstein Castle and the Alps.
The hotel is fully powered by solar energy. Environmental protection is their theme, and they provide bicycle and Segway rental services. Guests staying at the hotel can also receive a Konigscard, which allows free use of leisure facilities and services such as mountain railways, boat trips and ski passes.
The spa at HotelSommer features a heated outdoor pool with natural seawater and an open-air sauna area. Massages and beauty treatments can be booked. Yoga, Pilates and aquagym classes are also available. A healthy breakfast buffet is available at HotelSommer, and the cosy restaurant serves freshly prepared Bavarian and international dishes made from local ingredients.
Guests can also enjoy a course dinner or a themed buffet. The room is spacious and comfortable, with a yard at the door, just like home. Neuschwanstein Castle If someone asks Yunluo: Where is the most beautiful place in Germany? Yunluo will definitely tell her without hesitation: Neuschwanstein Castle. From the hotel, you can see this white fairy tale castle standing on the Alps from a distance.
It is said that the most beautiful place in Germany is Fussen, which has a history of more than 2,000 years. Today, the romantic old town of Fussen has become an ideal honeymoon and shopping destination. The quiet town of Fussen has only more than 14,000 residents. It is located in the heart of Europe at the foot of the Alps and adjacent to Austria. I slept in and arrived at noon.
Because there was a long queue at the ticket office on weekends, and the reservation was not allowed until the afternoon to enter the castle, and taking photos was not allowed inside the castle, Yunluo and An Chuyu did not buy tickets. Next to the ticket office is the Old Swan Castle, a yellow castle with a red spire. The Old Castle was built by Maximilian II, the father of Ludwig II, and is also called the High Swan Castle.
When Ludwig II was a child, he often played in this castle of his father and spent most of his life here. The romantic style of the High Swan Castle had a profound influence on Ludwig II. If you are driving by yourself, there is a parking lot in the scenic area. P is the closest to the Swan Castle. Turn right at the fork road.
There are three ways to get to Swan Castle: bus, carriage and walking. You can take the bus, go up the mountain and down the mountain; walking takes about half an hour, because it is uphill, it is still a bit tiring; you can also take a carriage, one person goes up the mountain and one person goes down the mountain. Since the carriage and bus have to wait for a long time, Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to walk. The way up the mountain tastes similar to the Longjing tea in Xihu City.
There are towering old trees on both sides, lush and green, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the castle. Tourists waiting to enter the castle can see the best location for Neuschwanstein Castle from the Marienbrücke, where you can see the panoramic view of Neuschwanstein Castle. On the way, I met Yunluo and Anchuyu members, who were more beautiful than in the photos. In the vast sea of people, it was fate! I stopped by Neuschwanstein Castle.
You can see the mirror-like Swan Lake, where you can rent a boat and spend an afternoon relaxing on the lake. The restaurant was reluctant to leave the Neuschwanstein Castle. My husband said that in his heart, the trip to Germany had ended.
If you come to Neuschwanstein Castle, there is another place you must visit - Linderhof Castle. Many people know that the famous Neuschwanstein Castle is a famous building left by Ludwig II. In fact, he left behind more than just Neuschwanstein Castle: whether it is the mountain castle and manor, or the expanded Bavarian Palace in Munich, they are all masterpieces.
But the most famous ones are Linderhof Castle and Herrenchiemsee Palace besides Neuschwanstein Castle. Linderhof Castle is the only one he completed during his lifetime, which is only a dozen kilometers away from Fussen. This palace was not planned. Because it rained heavily that day, Yunluo and An Chuyu gave up the itinerary of the surrounding tour of Fussen and changed to visit the interior.
These sunny day photos were downloaded from the Internet, but they are actually more magnificent than what you see. Starting from Fussen, walking along the lake, it feels like you have arrived at a fairy mirror, with green mountains looming in the clouds and mist, and small raindrops hitting the lake, splashing layers of water, like naughty children. Such heavy rain can't stop the enthusiasm of tourists.
The huge parking lot was already full. The ticket price seemed to be 100 euros. Yunluo and An Chuyu requested an English explanation. But each person would be given a Chinese translation. Linderhof Castle in the rain was even more romantic. There were unique fountains everywhere in the garden. In the sound of the rushing water, you could enjoy the extraordinary scenery in front of you.
I believe that whoever is here can forget all their troubles. It is a good place to escape from reality, a paradise. Walking into the palace, it is most appropriate to describe it as "magnificent". Each hall has a different color, yellow, purple, blue, pink hall, mirror hall, flower carpet hall, piano hall. There are countless rare treasures in the palace.
What Yunluo remembers most vividly is the Hall of Mirrors, which was the study of King Ludwig II. The mirrors expanded the space, and the phantoms under the candlelight were particularly breathtaking. Before he knew it, the 10-minute tour was over, like a movie had ended. He was still not satisfied. He had not yet recovered from the luxurious scene.
Yunluo and An Chuyu have arrived at the small town of Mittenwald. They just drove by it, but finally fell in love with it. Yunluo was attracted by the murals on every house, as if they were calling Yunluo to stay, listen to a story, and write a paragraph. Sitting in the ice cream shop and chatting with the shopkeeper, they learned that this place is known as the "violin manufacturing town".
The violins, violas and cellos made by the Kötz family in Mittenwald were already well known in the middle of the century. The Violin Museum opened in 2000 in a beautiful old house in Mittenwald. The museum displays the long history of violin making, with a focus on baroque violins. Seminars and other exhibitions are held here from time to time.
Yunluo was glad that it was a rainy day. It was the rain that made the streets more charming and reminded people that this was a city of music. All the houses here had eaves that extended out to prevent the rain from wetting the murals on the walls. How charming was this town in the autumn rain? Because of the moving melody of the dripping rain or the hazy mist.
Or a cat hiding from the rain? Both, and neither. After trekking through mountains and rivers, the winding path leads to a clear and bright view, which is the most attractive feeling. How charming is this small town in the autumn rain? Is it because of the window sills covered with flowers, the bluestone paths, or the winding alleys? Both, and neither. After many twists and turns, I finally understand that if there is a clear sky in my heart, it will be fine.
Why bother feeding pigeons in the square under the blue sky and white clouds? All these worries are just unnecessary troubles. Alpenhotel Hundsreitlehen (Handsreitlehen Alpine Hotel) is a traditional Alpine-style hotel located in Bischofswiesen, offering beautiful views of the Berechtsgaden Alps.
This is one of Yunluo's favorite hotels during this trip. The hotel is surrounded by layers of flowers. As soon as you come here, you will feel very happy. The entrance of the hotel is located on a high mountain, overlooking the entire valley. Yunluo no longer wants to say that it is like a fairyland. Let's take a look at the pictures! The hotel rooms overlooking the balcony have bright interior decoration and stylish wooden furniture.
It is equipped with satellite TV, a bathroom and a balcony with a view. It is simple and comfortable. The spacious restaurant has a wood-paneled ceiling and is a good place to enjoy the view. The large viewing window offers beautiful mountain views in the Berchtesgaden National Park. The traditional German dinner here is comparable to the hotel quality, and the breakfast is also quite rich.
It takes less than half an hour to drive from the eastern part of Bavaria, Germany, across the German-Austrian border to Salzburg, Austria. Since there is no obvious dividing line, you can hardly notice that you have passed from one country to another, but the scenery along the way is getting more and more beautiful. The essence of the old town of Salzburg is within a square kilometer.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
To the north of the square is the Salzburg Cathedral, the seat of the bishop, to the south is the fortress, and to the east is Mozart Square. Not far away is the Neptune Fountain, and the most eye-catching thing on the square is the Baroque Bishop's Palace Fountain and the mannequin standing on the golden ball. Yunluo and An Chuyu parked the car and walked in along the crowd. There were small shops on both sides of the alley.
Passersby can't help but linger in front of the window. Yunluo's favorite handmade soap walks through the alley, and the view is suddenly open. Various horse-drawn carriages pull tourists to stroll in the square. Yunluo and An Chuyu came to the fountain in the center of the square. Their steps naturally became lighter. Accompanied by the fountain and music, they couldn't help but turn in circles, just like Maria's happy time that year.
After visiting the square and the cathedral, it is a must to spend more than 10 euros (including the entrance fee to the castle and the cable car ticket to go up and down the mountain) to take the cable car to visit Salzburg Castle. Not only can you overlook the landscape of Salzburg from the highest point of the castle, but the cultural exhibits inside the fortress are also remarkable. It is said that this fortress has never been breached.
Wearing a Chinese audio guide, I walked through the gate corridors of the castle. This morning was really rewarding. The silver-painted performance artist and the two-wheeled carriage, the huge chessboard. Remind tourists that this is still a palace of classical art. In addition to the Neptune Fountain, the Bishop's Palace Fountain, and the bridge over the Salzach River.
The steps of Mirabell Palace on the north side of the river are another famous filming location for the Hollywood blockbuster The Sound of Music. As visitors hopped up the steps, Yunluo could not help but hear the beautiful melody from the movie. There is a Song of Music bus in the city, which takes tourists to various filming locations of The Sound of Music.
There are many Asian faces in the city, most of them are from South Korea. The parking fee in the center of Salzburg is relatively expensive. The fee for four and a half hours is more expensive than the combined ticket to the mountain, but compared with the scenery of the city, it is still worth it. We left Salzburg at around 12:00 in the afternoon and drove for about kilometers among the green mountains and clear waters.
After passing through a tunnel, the view suddenly opened up to a mirror lake and a cage of bricks and tiles. Surrounded by mountains, there is a quiet and sweet town, which is Hallstatt, known as the most beautiful town in Europe. Coming from the noisy city to the quiet lakeside, Yunluo couldn't help but sit down. In the moments before the sunset, enjoy this rare time alone.
Blue sky, white clouds, green trees, small houses, mountains. The beautiful scenery in your dreams can be seen everywhere here. When you arrive at the scenic area, a large parking lot is located at the foot of the mountain. The parking lot is located between King Lake and Jena Peak. Facing the scenic area, Jena Peak is on the left and King Lake is on the right. It only takes 10 minutes to walk.
Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at the ticket office of Jena Peak. There are two ways to visit King Lake. One is to climb the Jena Peak (Jennerbahn) next to it and overlook King Lake from above; the other is to take a boat tour on the lake. Yunluo and An Chuyu decided to visit Jena Peak in the morning and take a boat in the afternoon. The combined ticket for Jena Peak Cable Car and King Lake Cruise is Euro.
The cruise has two sections, and the combined ticket only includes the first section, but the second section is very cheap at only €. If you only visit one attraction, of course you can buy them separately. The cable car is very small and can only accommodate two people. The speed is very slow, and the one-way trip takes about minutes. The middle station is meters above sea level, and you can get off to visit. The terminal is meters above sea level. There is a small lake halfway up the mountain.
It should be artificial, the lake water is emerald green, like emerald. Yunluo and An Chuyu did not stop in the middle, and went directly to the top of the mountain at 1,000 meters. Jena Peak is meters above sea level, so you have to climb another 1,000 meters after getting off the cable car. Walking out of the exit of the cable car station, you can see a long and narrow path. Walking forward along this path is the observation deck of Jena Peak.
Jena Peak is the best place to get a bird's eye view of Lake Königssee. Standing on the observation deck, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Lake Königssee. To be honest, Yunluo felt that Lake Königssee was not as beautiful as he had imagined, but because of the towering mountains on both sides, the majestic momentum turned this narrow lake into a graceful and winding ribbon, very much like the fjords of Northern Europe.
The lake is clear and surrounded by mountains. It is a fairyland on earth. Although it is only a few dozen meters from the cable car to the observation deck, the gravel road is not easy to walk on. After taking pictures under the sun, I was exhausted. There is a restaurant on the top of the mountain, which is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. Take a break here, have a beer, eat ice cream, and replenish your energy. Return from the cable car. (~^~)
