Of course, the more ancient way is to cross the river by ferry. The city center is on the other side of the hotel. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose the oldest way to cross the river. Each person paid 10 euros to ferry to the other side. The most famous attraction here is Deutsches Eck (German Corner). And directly opposite the German Corner is the Festung Ehrenbreitstein Fortress.
There is a cable car at the German Eck that can go directly to the fortress across the river. Koblenz is very small, and you can walk from one side of the city to the other in half an hour. The area near the German Eck is the original ancient city style, and there are some modern buildings around. After the ferry passes, walk towards the German Eck, look around, take pictures, and fill your stomach by the way.
Koblenz Koblenz Koblenz Koblenz Koblenz Koblenz Koblenz This is the famous Kaiser Wilhelm Monument on the Deutsches Eck Square. The front is even more magnificent, but unfortunately the front is backlit and cannot be photographed. The monument has always been a symbol of German unification. The Deutsches Eck is located at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers.
The city got its name in the 18th century due to the arrival of the German Knights. Koblenz The Koblenz cable car goes across the river to the fortress on the other side. Koblenz Koblenz Castle covered with vines. The yellow building on the far right of Koblenz is the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed this time, not far from the fortress.
Due to the time difference, I didn't go to the fortress and went back to the hotel to rest early. The hotel window was the scenery of the Rhine River, and I could slowly enjoy the sunset. The view from the hotel window in Koblenz was the sunset. The view from the hotel window in Koblenz was the sunset. The view from the hotel window in Koblenz was the sunset. The view from the hotel window in Koblenz was the sunset.
Hotel review Hotel name Koblenz DiehlsHotel Comfortable double room, EUR per night, medium price. The hotel has complete facilities, clean rooms, good view, and is worth the price. It is necessary to remind that Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed in the most expensive river view room, which has a good view and is very quiet at night, but the room opposite faces the railway. It is quite noisy.
Free parking, there is a large parking lot in front of the hotel, very convenient. Free wifi, remember to ask for the password when checking in. There is a large supermarket near the hotel. It is just a few minutes' walk away. Breakfast is paid separately (Euro per person, not worth it), I didn't go. (In fact, foreigners' breakfast is basically like that, you can eat outside, it's cheaper).
It is recommended to take a ferry to visit the city center and the German Corner. It is convenient and fast. You can walk to the fortress, which takes about minutes. Marksburg is the largest medieval castle in the Rhine Valley and the only one that has not suffered any damage. It is currently open to the public as an ancient castle museum. The parking fee is Euros.
You need euros to visit the castle, and it opens at 10:00 in the morning. The town below the castle is very small, and some places on the main road can only allow one car to pass. When there are cars coming from both directions, one side needs to give way. Due to the time difference, I woke up very early. Anyway, there was no breakfast, so I went out early. When I passed Marksburg a little after 10:00 in the morning, I took some photos and left without going in for a visit.
We stopped and walked along the way and arrived at 11:00 in the afternoon. The roads in the historical city are so narrow that you can't imagine. Finding a hotel is really a big deal. I will talk about it in detail later. It is a city where grapes are grown. As early as the ancient Roman period, the ancient Romans had already grown grapes here.
Riesling white wine and chocolate with liquor filling are the signatures here. The most famous place here is 'Thrush Lane'. In the meter-long Thrush Lane, you will meet the local interesting residents. Taste the wine and enjoy the wonderful music in the tavern or open-air restaurant. The town is small and exquisite, with small lanes, taverns, small restaurants and small hotels.
All are decorated gorgeously, warm and pleasant. The small town is surrounded by large tracts of vineyards, fresh and green, with intoxicating fruit fragrance. 1. Self-driving route Start from Koblenz and drive along the east side of the Rhine River. That is, the opposite bank of yesterday's route, all the way back, the end point is Breuer's Rudesheimer Schloss Hotel.
Right side of the Rhine River 2. Scenic spots Entering January, the temperature in Germany is basically between - degrees, and autumn has already arrived. Most of the vegetation in this area of Marksburg has turned yellow, and the ground is covered with thick fallen leaves, which is very beautiful and full of autumn. Marksburg Autumn Marksburg Autumn Marksburg Autumn Marksburg Marksburg has tall city walls.
The terrain is steep and attack is almost impossible. No wonder it has not been damaged for thousands of years. The high city walls of MarksburgMarksburgMarksburgMarksburgThe roads in the town of Marksburg are extremely narrow. For foreign tourists like Yunluo and An Chuyu, it is too difficult to find a parking space. In addition, they cannot understand German, so they dare not walk far after stopping.
Take the time to take photos and leave. The town below Marksburg The town below Marksburg The road in the town becomes a single lane at the top of the tower. Sometimes, the town below Marksburg is more beautiful from a distance (distance creates beauty, haha). The photo below is the first castle I climbed yesterday. It is even more beautiful when viewed from the other side of the Rhine River.
The sense of history is stronger, the quiet castle, the flowing river, and the thousand-year history are frozen in the photo. The first castle I visited yesterday on the other side of the Rhine Valley The huge cruise ship I saw in Koblenz yesterday Rhine Valley Rhine Valley Rhine Valley Rhine Valley This stone tablet marks the ancient towns of all sizes on both sides of the Rhine Valley.
When I arrived, the first thing I had to worry about was how to find the hotel. The picture below is the street leading to the main entrance of the hotel. I passed by here twice but didn't dare to drive in. It was hard to imagine that cars were allowed to drive here. In the end, I temporarily parked on the side of the road and asked passers-by before I finally found the hotel. There is a parking lot opposite the hotel.
In fact, almost all hotels here require you to park and explore the road before driving in, otherwise it will be very troublesome. The hotel, the street is so narrow, the hotel's open-air restaurant, the hotel's restaurant overlooks the hotel restaurant in the room, and the hotel is settled on the side of Thrush Lane.
I quickly joined the crowd of tourists in the town and walked around. It was very lively. Tourists from all over the world came in droves. It was also here that I met a tour group from China for the first time in this trip. The group from Beijing was mainly retired aunts. They were very excited and even sang Jasmine Flower in the center of the town. It attracted the attention of foreigners.
When they were singing, Yunluo and An Chuyu were dining in an Italian restaurant. When they heard the singing, they had already dispersed. A few foreigners were watching the video playback on their mobile phones. Street photography, street photography, street photography, there are small restaurants everywhere. The restaurants and pubs here are like this.
It's a very small storefront. There's a relatively large courtyard inside. The open-air restaurant is warm and lively, and there are often performances to liven up the atmosphere. There are taverns everywhere. Along the street, there are large grape plantations. The scenery is very beautiful. If you don't want to walk, you can take a cable car to the top of the mountain. The result is the beautiful pastoral scenery of the town vineyard at the foot of the mountain.
Overlooking the town, we went down the mountain and came to two ancient castles on the edge of the town. They used to be military fortresses. With the decline of the original nobles, the castles changed hands and became private residences. Of course, we had no chance to visit them. On the other side of the castle is Bingen, which is also a relatively large ancient town. At night, the simple lights on the opposite side of Bingen make the town more gorgeous.
The window on the third floor of the hotel is the room where Yunluo and An first met. The clock tower of the hotel is at night, and the tourists leave. Everything is quiet. Night view. Night view. Thrush Lane is also quiet. Thrush Lane is completely quiet. Bingen opposite. 3. Hotel evaluation. Hotel name: Breuer's Rudesheimer Schloss. Double room. Euros per night, great value. The room is very big.
The bathroom is super large, with complete facilities, clean and tidy. Free parking, free wifi (please consult the front desk for specific login methods). The service is very good. The receptionist is beautiful and enthusiastic, and her English is very good. When checking in, there will be welcome champagne, a local specialty, which is very delicious. Free breakfast. The service is good, and the breakfast content is very Westernized.
There is no problem with filling the stomach and nutrition. The hotel is on Thrush Lane, and the town is small, so it is convenient to walk anywhere. As shown in the photo above. The street in front of the hotel entrance and the parking lot is extremely narrow, similar to a hutong lane. I can't imagine driving there. All hotels in the town are probably like this. It is recommended to use the navigation to get to the nearby area.
Stop by the roadside first, or ask passers-by. Or walk to the hotel, ask clearly, and then drive there. In the town center square, order a glass of wine, slowly while away the time, and feel the leisure life of Europeans. The food in the town is not expensive, and two people can basically get it done for about 10 euros.
One thing that must be mentioned is the Romantic Road, which starts from Würzburg in the north and ends in Fussen in the south, with a total length of about km. The Romantic Road connects the beautiful towns and castles along the way and is the most famous and popular tourist route in Germany. Historically, this was a trade route that ran through central and southern Germany.
You can not only enjoy the beautiful natural scenery along the way, but also visit historical, artistic and cultural landscapes. Referring to previous travel notes, the ancient towns along the way are actually similar, and the most representative one is Rothenburg. So if time is limited, it is better to choose Rothenburg for an in-depth tour instead of just skimming the area. Rothenburg is located on the high ground east of the Tauber River.
The Tauber River and steep hillsides form a natural barrier in the west, so the city walls on the west are relatively low, generally only a few dozen centimeters above the ground. The terrain on the north and east is flat, and the city walls are several meters high. If you look down from the air, the surrounding city walls outline a cartoon picture shaped like an ugly duckling's head: the Burggarten, a castle garden embedded in the big bend of the Tauber Valley in the west.
The wall from the castle garden to the Klingenbastein Gate in the north is the front forehead, and the walls on the north and east form the top and back of the ugly duckling's head. Plonlein in Rothenburg is located at the duck's neck, and almost all tourists who come to Rothenburg take photos with it as the background.
The section from Buenlai to Spitalbasteil in the south is the duck neck. The main municipal buildings such as the Town Hall, the Council Chamber, and St. Jacob's Church are located in the center of the duck head. Rothenburg was founded in 1861 and was once called the most German town in Germany by the Nazis (there is also a history of extermination of the Jewish people here, no wonder the Nazis liked it).
During World War II, some of the city walls, towers and buildings were destroyed. Fortunately, the US and British Allied Forces knew the historical value of Rothenburg and did not use heavy artillery. The German defenders did not obey Hitler's order to defend the city and finally gave up resistance. This is how most of Rothenburg's ancient buildings were preserved. The post-war reconstruction received donations from all over the world.
The rebuilt city wall is embedded with memorial bricks engraved with the names of donors, and the list of Chinese donors can be seen on it. Rothenburg is a city worth savoring. 1. The self-driving route is very smooth, and there is no speed limit on many sections. It takes more than an hour to travel and arrive at the hotel in Rothenburg smoothly at around 12:00 in the morning.
The hotel is easy to find, on the largest street in Rothenburg, with the town hall to the east and Buenlai to the west. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk, and it takes 10 minutes to walk to the castle garden, which is very convenient. The parking lot is on the T-shaped road opposite the hotel, and the hotel front desk will point it to you. The canyon scenery is outside the hotel window. You can see the double-decker ancient bridge.
After settling down, we started to tour the ancient town. To the right is Buyunlai. To the left is the Town Hall Square. These vintage cars are also professional tour guides, but unfortunately there is only a German tour guide, so I can't understand. I came to the Italian restaurant when I was hungry. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, but the pasta is very ordinary and very cheap. Two plates of pasta and a drink cost only 10 euros.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The shop windows along the street are decorated in colorful colors, which is very attractive and is also one of the city's scenery. It takes 10 minutes to walk south from the Town Hall Square to the Castle Garden, and the scenery outside the garden is the canyon scenery. The building on the city wall under the middle tower opposite is the hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu stayed. There was an act of extermination of the Jewish people in the Middle Ages.
The monument is in the garden. Return to the hotel from the garden, take a short rest and then head to the city wall. Climb up the tower (you have to pay, I forgot whether it was Euro or Euro), and in the middle is St. Jacob's Church. The arc-shaped city wall surrounds the ancient town in the middle. Go down the main city wall, go down a street below Buyunlai, and there is another city wall. Outside the city wall are fruit trees, and the ripe fruits fall down and rot.
No one picked the fruit from the trees. After shopping, I bought some fruit. I highly recommend figs. They are so sweet and delicious. There is absolutely no such thing as figs in China. In the afternoon, local residents in traditional costumes began to gather in the market square. At 12:00, a carnival began. Parades in traditional costumes continued to emerge from different streets throughout the ancient town.
Some were well-trained, while others were just traveling in groups. No matter where they came from, they all gathered on a street below Buyunlai. The Queen has arrived. Cold and beautiful. After half past one, it was almost completely dark. The teams gathered outside the city held torches and returned to the Town Hall Square in an orderly manner to the sound of drums and music.
At 12:00 p.m., the carnival reached its climax amid the fireworks. After the fireworks show, the teams in their best costumes went home in a joyful atmosphere accompanied by drum beats. The carnival lasted until 12:00 a.m., which was really lively. Since I couldn't understand German, I roughly understood from the sporadic English translation that this carnival was to commemorate the fight against the dark rule in the Middle Ages.
All walks of life have contributed to the defense of the castle, including the brave young army, the church that soothes the spirit, the farmers who provide food and grass for the castle, the knights who are the backbone of the battle, and the market traders, etc. Each team represents a force of justice. 3. Hotel Comments Hotel Name: Historik Hotel Goldener Hirsch Landscape Double Room.
Euros per night, good value for money. Parking fee is Euros, dedicated parking lot. Free wifi, ask the front desk for username and password (one machine for one use, if there are several Internet machines, several sets of passwords are required). Speaking of the front desk lady, she is the most beautiful girl I have seen in Germany, tall and slim, with a very high appearance, of course, the service is very enthusiastic, and the English level is high.
The breakfast was also a traditional German breakfast. Maybe because they received too many Chinese groups, the service attitude was average. But I can't blame them. I saw with my own eyes that some Chinese group guests secretly put eggs in their pockets and took them away.
The third largest city in Germany and the largest in the south, it has a long history, many historical events took place here, and the famous beer festival. However, for the author, the two most important things are: the Allianz Arena, the home of Bayern Munich, and the headquarters of BMW. Just thinking about it makes me excited. 1. Self-driving route Rothenburg to Munich has good road conditions.
I once drove at a speed of more than 1,000 kilometers on a multi-kilometer-long road section, reaching the top speed. I left Rothenburg in the morning and arrived at the hotel around noon. The hotel was just at the exit of the highway. 2. Scenic spots When I arrived in Munich, I encountered a strong wind and a drop in temperature. Although it didn't rain, it was still quite cold. I didn't know how to park in the city center (mainly because I couldn't understand German).
I took the subway for the two days of sightseeing in Munich. Speaking of the Munich subway, I have to praise it. There is a station every 100 meters. Almost any corner of the city can enter the subway within a few minutes' walk. A 100-euro ticket can be used for one day, and a 100-euro ticket can be used for 100 hours. There is no ticket gate, so it is all up to you. Of course, there will be staff checking tickets from time to time.
If caught, they will be fined and their credit records will be kept. The above are all street scenes near the Munich Marriott Hotel. I know very little about historical buildings, so I just took a lot of random photos. It is obvious that the most crowded places must be related to beer. When I was in Munich, it happened to be an international match day, so I didn't have the opportunity to experience the atmosphere of Bayern's home stadium. I know that the lights of the Allianz Arena at night are beautiful.
I waited until it was almost dark to go there. The next day I went to the BMW World in the Olympic Park. In order not to turn my travel notes into a car show, I reluctantly gave up a lot of beautiful car show photos. The hybrid i coupe that sells for tens of thousands in China is eye-catching. A very sad thing in Munich (the same in all of Germany) is that all stores (except restaurants and pubs) are closed on Sundays. (~^~)
