So, Würzburg-Frankfurt-Heidelberg, Yunluo spent another whole afternoon and one night. WTF. Frankfurt Railway Station: [Arrived in Heidelberg, here comes the complaint] At 12:00 in the evening, I finally got to Heidelberg slowly. Because the hotel I chose was a bit far from Heidelberg HBF, I waited for another hour and took the city S line to the platform next to the hotel.
At 10:00 in the evening, I walked out of the station alone, dragging my luggage. It was an extremely remote station. There was nothing there! There was only the quiet Neckar River. I took out my phone, but it turned off. Damn, it was out of battery. Fortunately, Yunluo remembered that the hotel was by the Neckar River. I should be able to find the hotel by walking along the Neckar River.
So, in the dead silence of the suburbs, in the rain and wind, I searched for a hotel for half an hour. I was so confused that I almost went to find the police. Finally, I saw the lights and the bar. When I was about to ask the uncle at the door of the bar for help, Yunluo saw the small sign of the hotel! I thought I would be warm soon, but another bad news came. A Korean customer smoking at the door of the hotel told Yunluo.
You are late, the front desk has already left. I can't believe that there is no one at the front desk. I knocked on the door and called, but no one answered. I was running wildly in my heart. I silently took a look at the terms and conditions when I booked the hotel. It said: The front desk will close at 10:00. If you are late, please call to inform me. Damn, no one answered the phone!
So, unwillingly but having to accept it, I slept in the stairwell of the hotel. The hotel was booked for two nights, which cost RMB per night. So I spent RMB just by lying on this chair for one night. Not only did I feel sad in my balls, but I also felt heartbroken.
Heidelberg: one of the most famous castle ruins in the world, the oldest university in Germany, nine Nobel Prize winners, a favorite place of many writers and philosophers from Goethe to Mark Twain, a vibrant cultural city, famous universities and science centers, picturesque natural scenery, a day trip in Heidelberg. Experience a university and a city.
At 10:00 in the morning, I finally waited for the front desk to open the door for Yunluo. I took a nap in the room. I continued to go out in the afternoon. The Neckar River is just outside the hotel. The weather was gloomy, and I felt depressed. [Heidelberg University] The university building I imagined was as ancient, mysterious, and luxurious as Harry Potter. I didn't know until I came here that there is a university and a city here, and university facilities are spread all over the city.
The canteen, classroom, and library are all in different places. I am also drunk. The fully open model makes Yunluo, a girl whose university is managed in a semi-military manner, feel a little envious and upset. Walking into the city wall, there are the canteen and studio of Heidelberg University. It looks like an art gallery and studio. Behind the school is the old street of Heidelberg. There are still two months before Christmas.
But there is already a Christmas atmosphere. I wandered around the old street and saw a magnificent building. I took a closer look and found it was a library. I was so drunk. The library door was amazing. Inside the library, you can enter and exit freely. It is obviously decorated like a domestic five-star hotel. Student computer room.
In the corridor of the library, there are many collections of books on display. The window overlooks another part of the library. This library is so big. It is said that there are also a lot of books. In addition to the spiral staircase, there is also an elevator. Seeing this, will those children who study abroad think that the author is a country bumpkin? After leaving the library, there is still a sense of gap that cannot be calmed down.
Next door is the legendary Holy Spirit Church, which is closed, so you can only walk around the old street outside: an old street that has been famous since the Middle Ages. Walking in the bluestone old street at dusk in the Middle Ages, such as the Holy Spirit Church, the dilapidated castle, and the taverns around. They all live in old big houses that are at least more than 100 years old, just like the loneliness and solitude of knights and rangers.
After strolling around the old streets, we returned to the hotel just in the evening. Although the weather was not good, there were some sunset glows in the evening rain. It was not disappointing. The Neckar River at dusk. This is the room that Yunluo waited for all night, the favorite and the most hated of the trip to Germany. Trier was still cloudy in the morning. Today I was going to climb the most anticipated Philosopher's Trail in Heidelberg.
The Philosopher's Trail is located on a hill on the north bank of the Neckar River in Heidelberg, Germany. You can reach it by crossing the river from the Old Bridge, passing the "Snake Trail" and climbing the stairs. Goethe often walked here to think about philosophical and literary issues; when philosopher Hegel taught at Heidelberg University, he often walked here with friends and colleagues to discuss academic issues.
Later generations called this road the Philosopher's Path. The Philosopher's Path is about two kilometers long, and some sections are very steep. It is an excellent place to overlook the scenery of Heidelberg Old Town on the other side of the Neckar River. Passing the Old Bridge. At the head of the Old Bridge, there is the famous bronze monkey. The friend who won the award with Yunluo asked Yunluo to help him fulfill his wish of stuffing his head in, so...
The clouds fell under the witness of a Chinese tour group. The two sides of the old bridge. After crossing the old bridge, there is another inconspicuous small sign indicating that it is the Philosopher's Trail. It is indeed as legendary, gloomy all the way. After walking for a few minutes panting, climbing up is also as legendary, physically demanding, and when you reach the open area, you can already overlook the whole city.
Opposite, the old Heidelberg Castle in the mist is also on the top of the hill. Near the Philosopher's Trail is the most expensive residential area in Heidelberg, so if this uncle weeding is not a servant of a rich man, he must be the rich man himself. Go back down the hill along the garden path. When I came back, there were already many tourists on the old bridge. Here's a picture of the monkey's butt.
The alley next to the hotel. [Trier] I miscalculated again when I was making the guide. Heidelberg-Trier, although it is close on the map, there is no direct route, so Heidelberg-Koblenz-Trier, with a total transfer time of 1 hour. Trier: Germany's oldest city, located in the southwest of Rhineland-Palatinate, on the banks of the Moselle River, close to the Luxembourg border.
The port was founded in 1640 BC and was the residence of Constantinius I, the Western Caesar (vice emperor) during the Roman Empire's Tetrarchy. It is also the birthplace of Marx, the great founder of the proletariat. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from the hotel to the legendary Porta Nigra. The biggest feeling on the way is that the small Trier is very quiet. It is a border town.
Next door is Luxembourg. Porta Nigra: Trier still has many ancient Roman buildings, and the Porta Nigra is one of them. The Black Wall is the symbol of Trier. This ancient Roman city gate was built in the 18th century and played a big role in the war. After passing the Porta Nigra, the commercial street behind it suddenly became lively.
Trier's commercial street is larger than the commercial streets of several famous cities I have visited before. The central square is very lively. Germans seem to like such open-air bars, standing and drinking and chatting. Next to the central square, there is a cathedral - the Church of Our Lady, a very down-to-earth name. Next to the super gorgeous organ is the oldest cathedral in Germany.
St. Peter's Cathedral, a long-lived building that has gone through more than a dozen centuries, blends design elements from different generations. This is also the only church in Germany where you cannot take photos, and there are staff guarding it. But the author's candid photography skills are not vegetarian. Central Square. As dusk falls, the crowds on the commercial street begin to disperse, but the city gate night market begins to get lively.
The Black Gate, also known as the Porta Nigra. From the night market outside, I stepped into the gate and suddenly felt like I was traveling through time. Trier in the evening is indeed more beautiful as the night goes on. I got up early and went to look for Marx. The hotel is full of spring, look! It's always like this, it's cloudy when I arrive, and it's definitely sunny when I leave! How nice it would be if the whole trip was postponed by one day.
To get to Karl Marx's former residence, you need to go through the Great Black Gate and cross the commercial street. It's about a minute walk from the Great Black Gate. It's said to be hard to find. I picked up Yunluo's mobile phone map, which was completely inaccurate, and when I got to this street, there was a very small sign on the right: karl-marx-haus passed by here. This store must be opened by a Northeasterner, why is it so shabby? I searched the whole street but couldn't find it. The map showed that I had passed it.
Looking back, it was the white house in the middle. It didn't feel like the former residence of a famous person in China. Of course, maybe the founder of the proletariat is not held high in this capitalist country like in socialist countries. It can be seen that it receives more Chinese people. You need a ticket of 100 euros to enter. Thinking that time is tight, I gave up.
But we still took a group photo to commemorate Yunluo's journey through the center of Trier. He finally found this great man, this old man who appeared countless times in Chinese and political textbooks. The central square looks better under the clear sky. On the way back, we passed by the city gate. It seems good to take a photo like this. Living under the crotch. [Mainz] Trier-Mainz, Yunluo miscalculated again.
Once again, it looked very close on the map, but I had to change trains in Koblenz, which took a total of half an hour. I was drunk. Koblenz Station was beautiful on a sunny day. The hotel in Mainz was booked at the exit of the train station. It was so nice not to have to drag the suitcase to find the hotel. The room was small and exquisite, and I liked the bedside lamp. Mainz is quite different from the previous historical cities.
The city center is a little far from the train station. But it is easy for Yunluo to find it. Fortunately, his map-reading skills are quite strong. It only takes a few minutes to walk from the deserted train station. As long as you see signs of bustle, it proves that you are on the right path. Passing by Mainz: St. Stephen's Church. The commercial center of Mainz is very prosperous, which is different from the previous historical cities.
It is more modern. When you approach the commercial district, you can see the top of the towering Mainz Cathedral. If you walk towards the crowded direction, you can walk to the square outside the cathedral. Mainz Cathedral. As soon as you arrive at the square, you will see this huge building. It is the largest church I have seen since I came to Germany. It is one of the most magnificent churches in Germany.
The Archbishop Memorial Tomb and the Church Museum house many precious works of art. Opening hours: :-:; Saturday and Sunday to:; Closed on Mondays and Catholic holidays. Entrance. Although I didn't see the legendary blue window in St. Stephen's Church, the blue window here is also very beautiful. From a distance, the cathedral really stands out from the crowd and looks like a landmark.
The garden behind the church. Behind the cathedral, there is a small model. Gutenberg Museum, in the Gutenberg Museum, which displays the art of printing (also known as the Black Art), you will fully understand the movable type printing invented by Johannes Gutenberg in Mainz. Tickets: Adults/Students and Seniors/Families �// Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday and Sunday.
It was closed when I got it, so I was disappointed. I could only look at the exterior. After giving up visiting the museum, I went back to the cathedral. There was actually another entrance behind the cathedral, and inside was a garden. The corridor that enclosed the garden was full of unfamiliar statues, and there were very few tourists. I started to show off. After showing off behind the church, I came out when the sun was setting.
I came across a handsome old man in a windbreaker from behind, and quietly approached him to take a sneak shot of his back. He was the only one standing for a long time on the busy commercial street. Finally, I took a photo of the cathedral, the top of which was still under repair. In fact, the two cities are separated by a river. It feels great to take the S line in minutes without waiting or changing trains. Look.
In Germany, you can reach the center of one city from another in just minutes. One day in Beijing, Yunluo spent hours and still couldn't get from the Fourth Ring Road to the Third Ring Road. Mainz Station. Wiesbaden Train Station. Pretty cute. Wiesbaden, the collision of the ancient train station and the fresh daisies. Wiesbaden, a famous hot spring and sanatorium.
So the first stop is of course the legendary sanatorium building. Walk from the train station to the sanatorium building. Minutes, European-style houses line the road. Pass by the Russian Church of Wiesbaden. Pass by the Wiesbaden Central Market. This is also the commercial center of Wiesbaden. It seems that the market is very lively on the weekend. Because of the fame of the hot springs and sanatorium building.
Wiesbaden has also become a city of old people. Most of the people walking on the market are old people. The building behind is: Wiesbaden Town Hall. What a big egg. Walking through the lively market, on the left is Wiesbaden Town Hall, and on the right is Wiesbaden Market Church. Wiesbaden Market Church. Well, it's closed at noon. I plan to go to the sanatorium building and come back to take a look.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Cross the central market. Turn right and you will reach the sanatorium building. The sanatorium building (hot spring building) was built on the original site to adapt to Wiesbaden's gradual development into a world spa city in the 19th century. It was later destroyed during World War II. Since then, the sanatorium building has been comprehensively and thoroughly restored.
On the day of the month of the year, the newly renovated sanatorium building was officially opened to the public, becoming a multifunctional building integrating a theater, a convention center and a casino. Why did it have to be cloudy? The sanatorium building was supposed to be magnificent under the blue sky and white clouds! Well, the entrance began to have a magnificent atmosphere. There is no ticket to enter, and the hall can be visited at will.
It became luxurious inside. There seemed to be a gambling convention today. Two staff members were setting up the venue. I didn't know it was a casino until I went in. I saw an elderly couple next door buying casino tickets. I was amazed to think that the elderly life of Germans was so luxurious. After I came out, I found a shop selling postcards.
Look, this is the tycoon's building under the blue sky and white clouds. Back to the market church. This church is made entirely of red bricks. The main building is meters high and is the tallest building in Wiesbaden. What a proud statue. When I went in, I saw that the interior of the church was really cute. I have seen so many churches in Germany, and the biggest difference between this one and other churches is.
The color is so pink. Among the many German Gothic churches, Yunluo particularly likes this fresh and simple one. Someone is playing the organ. It was the first time I heard the organ in a church, and the solemnity suddenly rose. [Koblenz] Wiesbaden-Koblenz, direct train, one hour. Koblenz. Located in Rhineland-Palatinate.
It is one of the important towns on the Rhine. Apart from the classic old town, the biggest attraction is the "German Corner" (Deutsches Eck) - where the Mosel River merges into the Rhine. On this mini delta, a statue of William the Great commemorates the once unified and powerful German Empire. A section of the Rhine from Koblenz to Bingen am Rhein on the Rhine.
It is famous for its winding river valleys, beautiful mountains, numerous castle ruins and beautiful coastal towns. The most famous one is the Lorelei Rock near Sankt Goarshausen. Can you hear the charming song described by the poet Heine? The most wonderful thing about this journey is of course to take a cruise (Rhine River Cruise. wwwk-dcom).
Go down the Rhine River and appreciate every picturesque scene. If you take a train, there is also a section along the river. Don't forget the scenery outside the window! When I came back to look up the Wikipedia, I was deeply touched. On the train from Wiesbaden to Koblenz, along the Rhine River, the riverside scenery is naturally not to be mentioned.
Occasionally I would bury my head in WeChat and occasionally look out the window. Even when I looked up, I saw the clouds falling. During this one-hour drive, I saw many ancient castles along the Rhine River. As expected, no country has as many castles as Germany. Koblenz is a relatively modern and larger city among the historical cities. From the central train station to the Deutsches Eck.
About 100 kilometers, it takes about half an hour to walk. On the roadside, the Hertz Church of Jesus. Near the German Corner is the business district of Koblenz. Its business district is more modern than Mainz. It is very lively with crowds of people. After traveling through the historic city for so many days, I finally returned to the modern era. Koblenz Church of Our Lady: It is in the business district.
After visiting the planned historic cities, I concluded that the most important building in each historic city is the largest church. The commercial areas are built around the church, so the area around the church is always the busiest place. Look, Jesus is so cute. He always looks like one of Yunluo's friends. Look, Jesus is so charming.
If there are religious people here, please forgive me for being disrespectful. The surrounding shops. The Christmas atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. In fact, in addition to first-class knives, you can also see home decorations with superb design and first-class workmanship in Germany. The only disadvantage is that it is expensive. It is always easy to get lost in the commercial district, but as long as you follow the map to find the river, you can always find the German Corner.
At the junction of two rivers, the Rhine on the right and the Moselle on the left. Moselle River. Cruise ship. You can see every room on the cruise ship clearly. Walking along the Moselle River, you will finally find the German Corner. The confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers was named "German Corner" in the century due to the arrival of the German Knights. (~^~)
