You can also go to the upper lake first, get off at the red-roofed church when you come back, and take any return boat back after playing. King Lake is a lake formed by glacial erosion. It is 1.3 meters deep on average and nearly 1.3 meters deep at its deepest point. It is surrounded by mountains. The lake water is clear, as calm as a mirror, and the green is better than jade. The mountains around the lake are very steep.
The numerous boulders look like a giant chopped the mountain with an axe, and each of them can form a spectacular painting. Lake Königssee is considered the cleanest and most beautiful lake in Germany. For this reason, since 2000, only electric boats, rowing boats and pedal boats are allowed to sail in the lake. When the cruise ship is about to reach the red-roofed church.
The boat will stop and a crew member will pick up a trumpet and play a pleasant melody in the silence. After each measure, there will be a pause. You will hear a spiritual echo, like the sound of nature. After the performance, the crew will walk around the cabin holding a small hat. Haha, here comes the tip. Just give it a tip.
There is a large Western-style restaurant near the Red Roof Church. There are many people dining there and the business is good. After leaving the Red Roof Church, continue forward and arrive at the Upper Lake Pier. The lake water here is very shallow and you can clearly see every plant and tree at the bottom of the lake. The lake water changes from shallow to deep, showing different colors, which complement the blue sky and white clouds, forming a beautiful landscape painting.
There is a rugged path from the pier to the upper lake. The scenery is picturesque. I took photos while walking and unknowingly arrived at the exquisite upper lake. When I saw the cabin, I arrived at the terminal of King Lake. The upper lake is small and very quiet, like a huge mirror, reflecting the mountains, blue sky and white clouds in the water, which is very psychedelic. After returning from the upper lake, I took a detour to a lakeside ranch on the left.
You can drink the freshest milk. I am allergic to milk and don't know what it tastes like. I just saw an unexpected beautiful scenery on the road. It was worth the detour. When the cruise ship was about to reach the red-roofed church, I saw a helicopter take off and land. The red-roofed church is the most beautiful when you are on the cruise ship. With the boat ticket to visit Lake King, you can go to the McDonald's restaurant near the parking lot.
Buy one get one free burger, 10 euros. A full meal for two people. After eating this McDonald's, I found that the taste was more suitable for Yunluo and An Chuyu's taste than the Western food in the Western restaurant. McDonald's was the main choice for the rest of the trip. Two Big Macs, a bowl of salad, potato sticks, and a large cup of ice cream and cola, a total of only 10 euros.
Hotel review Hotel name: Alpenpension Kropfleiten The best thing about the hotel is the unbeatable scenery. The cover of this travel note was taken here. Superior king suite, EUR per night. German farmhouse. The proprietress was very friendly and took the initiative to give a discount card, which was half price for parking in the scenic area.
The boss's family speaks good English. The breakfast is standard German style, which is neither good nor bad. The room is clean and tidy, and also large, but there is no shampoo and shower gel, only a bar of soap. The room is not soundproof, and the snoring next door can be clearly heard. The only place without wifi is probably to create a sense of paradise.
Perhaps what you need most here is to calm down, eliminate the disturbances of the outside world, and feel the most beautiful lakes and mountains in Germany with your heart. Every second, every inch of distance, and every angle of space are worth appreciating with your heart.
"Hallstatt" means "early Iron Age". People have excavated artifacts of great archaeological value in Hallstatt, proving that a fairly developed culture existed here as early as 1600 BC. It is also confirmed that this is the birthplace of the European Iron Age. The town is famous for its salt mines and is known as the "treasure land of salt mines".
Salt mining has been going on in Hallstatt since 1640 BC, and there is still a salt mine in operation and open to tourists. The development of the salt mining industry has promoted the prosperity of the local economy. The beautiful environment and developed economy here have also attracted many romantic painters, artists, poets and composers, leaving behind a large number of high-quality architectural and artistic relics.
The Catholic Church built in 1900 AD and the Jesuit Church built in 1919 and many museums in the town center are classic representatives. Hallstatt was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 1997. The oldest salt capital. The most beautiful town in the world - Hallstatt. 1. Self-driving route There are two ways to go from Berchtesgaden to Hallstatt.
One is a mountain road, which is only kilometers. There is no difference between speed limit and no speed limit in Germany, and the speed limit is kilometers in Austria. Some sections of the road are narrow and can only be used in one direction, and the slope is very steep. Don't take this road in rainy and snowy weather. Another way is to go back the original way, return to the previous highway and continue forward. Almost the entire way is highway.
The mileage is longer, but the road conditions are good. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose to take a shortcut, leaving at 12:00 and arriving in Hallstatt a little later. Except for vehicles of local residents, no outside vehicles are allowed to enter Hallstatt. All vehicles staying in hotels are parked in the P parking lot. There are free shuttle buses between the hotels in the town and the P parking lot every minute.
It is very convenient to go to the hotel from the parking lot, because each guest comes to the town at a different time, so it will not cause congestion. But it is very inconvenient to leave the hotel, because most of them check out at a certain time, and the shuttle bus only has individual seats, so you will have to wait for a long time. It is recommended to check out either to avoid peak hours, or to walk to the town gate square with luggage (about minutes).
One person stayed behind to look after the luggage, while the other went to Parking Lot P to pick up the car (a 5-minute walk). Yunluo and Anchuyu went out on their own. Going from Hallstatt to St. Wolfgang is on the highway back to Germany, so it's a side trip. After the tour, we continued back to Germany and went to Metzingen for shopping. 2. Hallstatt, a tourist attraction
This lakeside town, standing between steep slopes and emerald lakes, is full of fairytale-like quiet and beautiful houses. The mountains with an altitude of more than 100 meters and the clear lake have turned this place into a paradise on earth. The lake water is clear and transparent, like a wide green ribbon in the mountain valley. Rows of wooden houses are built by the lake.
It is particularly eye-catching under the sunshine. Staying in a courtyard hotel facing the lake, you can see the lake from the window and the clear smoke rising from the lake, as if you have come to a fairyland on earth. The town is very small, and it only takes minutes to walk from one end to the other. The beauty of the town can only be appreciated at both ends of the town or on the salt mine mountain. When you are in the town, you will feel that it is no different from other towns in Europe.
It really fulfilled the old saying that you cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in it. After checking into the hotel, I started to wander around the town. There were tour groups from all over the world, including many from my country. The food here is very expensive. The same food costs only - Euros in Germany, but it costs 1 Euro here. Who makes this the most beautiful town in the world? Every inch of land is worth money.
This was taken at noon in the square on the south side of the town. From the south square of the town, it takes a few minutes to walk to the cable car up the mountain. The round-trip cable car is 10 euros. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose to go up the mountain one way and then walk down the mountain. I can't remember the price, but it seems to be 10 euros. It turns out that walking down the mountain is a wise choice. There are beautiful scenery all the way. I didn't go to the salt mine because I wasn't interested.
The building at the foot of the mountain is the salt mine that can be visited. The viewing platform is like a big ship. On the way down the mountain, I saw an abandoned and closed mine entrance. There are many white swans in the lake. They are very close to tourists. The salt mine is about meters high. It is a bit tiring to walk all the way down. I also sweated. After returning to the hotel to rest and eat, I went into the town again in the evening.
At this time, the groups of tourists have disappeared. Due to cost issues, few groups will arrange to stay in the town, usually in the morning. In the past, after the afternoon, the town will return to the tranquility of a thousand years ago. Tourists living in the town can arrange their tour activities during these two time periods. The light is soft, the photos taken are beautiful, and no one will disturb you. The above is the night view of the town.
A few minutes before dark is the best time to take photos of the night scene. There are few people in the square. Below is a classic picture taken point by point the next morning. The moment when the swan flew into the lake was captured. As mentioned before, how to get back to the parking lot after checking out was a big problem. Finally, I decided to be self-reliant and walk out by myself. I drove on the highway all the way and arrived at the town of Lake St. Wolfgang in minutes.
Many group tourists live here. I may be a little tired of seeing so many beautiful scenery along the way. I didn't think Lake St. Wolfgang was special. I hurried past it and continued to go to the shopping paradise a few kilometers away. 3. Hotel comments A window can be fully closed, half-opened on the top, and fully open on the side. All hotels in Germany and Austria have such windows.
Made in Germany, it is not only reflected in the high-precision machinery, but also in all aspects of life. The windows are all opened inwards, which is convenient for cleaning, especially in high-rise buildings. This design is convenient, safe and very user-friendly. Hotel name: Heritage Hotel Hallstatt (Hallstatt Historical Hotel) Heritage Hotel Hallstatt is made of.
It is composed of 20 carefully restored old buildings with a bar and a sunny lakeside terrace. The front desk building has an elevator, but the other buildings don't. I originally booked a deluxe double room, 10 euros per night, and was upgraded to a deluxe suite for free when I checked in. Is that a stroke of luck? The room is large, clean and tidy, with first-class facilities, and the bathroom products are all French brand L'Occitane, awesome.
The location is very good, right between two iconic churches, and a classic photo-taking location is just a few minutes' walk away. The cruise ship terminal is right in front of the hotel, and the view is superb. The hotel staff are beautiful and enthusiastic, and speak good English. Free wifi. But there is no free breakfast. Due to the vehicle control problem in the town, it is troublesome to wait for the car to go to the parking lot after checkout. The public parking lot is EUR per day.
The self-driving route left St. Wolfgang and sped along the highway. During the many kilometers of the road, we encountered traffic jams continuously. We got off the highway about kilometers away from Stuttgart. First there was a country road, and suddenly it dropped straight into a deep valley. To be honest, I really doubted whether the target location was correct at that time. Fortunately, we finally arrived in Metzingen smoothly before dark.
We left Metzingen at 12:30 pm the next day, and climbed up the mountain road, passing Stuttgart (Mercedes-Benz headquarters). It was very congested, and we arrived in Heidelberg at 12:30 pm. I didn't expect that the Metzingen outlets would be in such a remote place. No wonder there are not many Chinese shopping enthusiasts. 2. Hotel Reviews Hotel Name: Hotel-Restaurant Schwanen Yunluo and An Chuyu met.
It is a small double room, 10 euros per night, with high cost performance. The room is not big, but the design is very reasonable. It has everything you need and is clean and tidy. The hotel breakfast is 10 euros per person, which is quite rich and the service is also very good. If you want to enjoy it, you can order it when checking in. Of course, if you want to save money, there is a McDonald's at the door.
The hotel is 100 square meters and can accommodate a full meal. Free wifi, the front desk requires a username and password. Paid parking lot, 100 square meters and a coin-like exit card will be given after check-out. You can go out at any time on the same day, which greatly facilitates shopping. Yunluo and An Chuyu checked out in the morning, put their luggage in the car, and then went shopping. They left the parking lot at 1:30 pm.
The location is very good. Right at the entrance of the outlets, as shown in the picture above, out of the hotel, on the main street. It is the outlet city. Heidelberg The beautiful Heidelberg is an ancient cultural city and university city on the Neckar River, located about kilometers south of Frankfurt. It is a miniature of romantic Germany, with winding and quiet alleys connecting the castle and the river, full of poetic and picturesque scenery.
The castle is located on the King's Throne Hill by the Neckar River. It is a reddish-brown castle. It is the site of an ancient imperial palace. It is mainly built with Neckar River sandstone, with a complex structure and varied styles. Although it is now in ruins, it still retains its royal aura. Heidelberg University was founded in 1912. As early as the 18th century, Heidelberg University became the center of European science and culture. Today, Heidelberg's reputation remains the same as it was back then.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After leaving Metzingen, it is common sense to go straight to Frankfurt to take a flight back to Sihai City the next day. The reason why I chose to stay in Heidelberg for one night is mainly due to the following considerations: first, of course, I don’t want to miss any attractions, even if it’s just a quick glance; second, Heidelberg is only kilometers away from Frankfurt Airport, and the whole journey is on the highway.
The time spent may be shorter than staying in Frankfurt city; third, when booking the hotel, I didn't know what time the shopping party in Metzingen would end. If it was too late, it would be unsafe to go directly to Frankfurt at night. In the early morning, walk along the Neckar River, cross the bridge, and then enter Laochen. This circle takes about 10 minutes. After breakfast, clean up.
We left Heidelberg at about 10:00 am. The highway was smooth. We filled up the car with gas and cleaned it briefly when we were still kilometers away from the airport. We drove to the car return area at Terminal T and the transfer was very smooth. The service of HERTZ is amazing. 2. Scenic spots In the morning, we walked along the Neckar River to feel the cultural atmosphere of Heidelberg. On the street, there were no cars except for cars.
The children were just rushing to school. 3. Hotel Reviews Hotel name: Hotel Panorama (Panorama Hotel) Standard double room. Euro per night, international chain hotel, all kinds of facilities are complete, clean and tidy. Free wifi, ask the front desk for the password. There is no parking lot (ancient building, about one car can be parked on the street, need to make an appointment in advance).
You can only park in a public parking lot 100 meters away, which is charged by the hour, from 1:30 pm to 1:00 pm the next day, and the total charge is 100 euros. The service is very good, and the hotel staff speaks first-class English. Free breakfast, the breakfast is rich, and the plate is very artistic. The location is good, right on the Neckar River, and it takes only minutes to walk to the old town.
Language Issues: It was my first time to drive in a non-English speaking country. I was quite worried about the language at first, so I bought a German electronic dictionary. But the day I stepped into German territory, I knew that my worries were completely unnecessary. As long as you have a basic knowledge of English conversation, driving in Germany is no problem at all. You will inevitably have to deal with Germans from all walks of life during the week.
It feels like more than % of Germans can speak fluent English, and their pronunciation is very accurate. What is commendable is that Germans are very friendly. When they learned that Yunluo was a tourist from China, they would patiently answer Yunluo's questions. 2. Traffic rules When driving abroad, you must pay attention to local traffic rules, about the traffic rules in Germany.
Click the bottom line of the webpage to download the various rules that you need to pay attention to when driving in Germany. Print it out during the self-driving preparation period, read it several times a day, take more responsibility for safety, and benefit others and yourself. After the self-driving week, I feel that there are two points about German road traffic: the first is order, and the second is speed. Order means traveling in strict accordance with traffic rules.
Give way to vehicles going straight when turning, give way to main roads when side roads, give way to vehicles outside roundabouts, always give way to pedestrians, keep a safe distance of meters from bicycles going in the same direction (if you cannot maintain a safe distance, please follow the bicycles), choose the appropriate lane according to your driving speed on the highway, pay attention and use the turn signal when changing lanes, when the road becomes narrow (lanes merge into one lane).
Strictly follow the rules of alternating traffic. Various courtesy ensures that the roads with large traffic flows in Germany can be passed in an orderly and fast manner. Regarding turn signals, as long as you leave the driving route on the ground road, you will turn on the turn signal. But on the highway, % of the slow lane will turn on the turn signal, and less than half of the fast lane will turn on the turn signal when turning back to the slow lane. Only on the basis of order.
Only then did we have fast passing. I believe everyone knows that Germany is the only country in the world with unlimited speed highways. I didn't see a single car accident during my self-driving week. On the contrary, in Sihai City, which is as slow as a snail, it is a bit exaggerated to say that I see car accidents every day. It is certain that I see more than 10 car accidents a week. This slogan is often seen in China: 9 out of 10 car accidents are caused by speeding.
It must not be written by a professional driver. The driving pleasure in Germany is not only reflected in the speeding on the unlimited highway, but also in the experience of high-speed cornering on the winding mountain roads. Not every highway has an unlimited speed limit, so you must pay attention to the restriction signs. Once you see that all restriction signs have been removed, don't miss the experience of speeding all the way. (~^~)
