The price is about RMB including breakfast, which is quite cost-effective. You can quickly escape the stress brought by the city and release your tired mind here. The exquisite food, mellow wine, beautiful environment, and strolling in the castle with your lover will make you feel that the trip is worthwhile. This Liebfrauenkirche is very eye-catching when you see it from the boat, and it was built in 1939.
It took many years to complete, and it is a typical Gothic building. Yunluo and Anchuyu continued along the river valley, accompanied by the castle and the vineyards, which were full of green. St. Goar is one of the most beautiful towns on both sides of the Rhine River, but Yunluo felt that the towns in Germany were too similar, so he did not stay in the town for long and went directly to the castle.
Burgrheinfels is the largest ruined castle in Germany. Tickets cost EUR 1,000. The castle was first built in 1610 by Count Diether V von Katzenelnbogen, a vassal state in the Middle Rhine region at the time. It was originally used to collect taxes on ships, the so-called ZOLLBURG.
Later, the castle changed owners many times, and many new buildings were built. Until the French Revolution, the castle was damaged. The castle is divided into two layers, the inner layer is the castle, and the outer layer is the fortification, which is connected by several passages and many caves. This staircase leads to the bell tower on the top floor.
It is the earliest building of the castle. The exit of the castle was converted into a youth hostel. After wandering around for nearly half an hour, I was thirsty and had a drink here. I originally planned to stay in Koblenz, but because there were no good rooms, Yunluo changed his stay to the small town of Lahnstein, which is only kilometers away from Koblenz. WeissesRoss Hotel provides free parking.
The hotel is decorated in Greek style, and each room has a beautiful terrace and a large garden. There is no elevator in the hotel. I climbed to the top floor with my luggage. It was evening and the sun was shining in the room. The fatigue disappeared instantly. I walked to the balcony full of flowers and looked at the garden downstairs. This was exactly what Yunluo wanted. There were almost no places to eat near the hotel.
Yunluo and An Chuyu didn't want to drive out anymore, so they found a seat by the window and had a beer. They ordered a favorite dinner, and life was as good as expected.
Early in the morning, Yunluo and Anchuyu came to the "German Corner" in Koblenz again, and admired the equestrian statue of William I again under the blue sky and white clouds. This knight statue is meters high, and the total sculpture is meters high. It stands at the confluence of the Moselle River and the Rhine River. Here is a little scientific knowledge for everyone: Generally, if the four feet of the knight statue are in the air, it means that the knight was killed in battle.
If all four feet were on the ground, it was a natural death. If one of William I's front feet was raised, it was a death from serious injuries in battle. He died embarrassingly when his saddle pierced his body during the battle. The German Corner has attracted a large number of tourists since the day it built the equestrian statue of William I. Since 1915, it has been part of the Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
In 1860, the Archbishop and Elector of Trier, Theoderich von Wied (ca. 1865-1869), sent the Teutonic Knights to Koblenz and gave them the church and hospital for the purpose of protecting the local hospital. The territory of the Teutonic Knights at the mouth of the Moselle and Rhine rivers.
The "German Manor" (German: Deutschherrenhaus) was established as the residence of the Teutonic Knights in Koblenz, and the river mouth territory was named "German Corner". We walked along the Moselle River in the sunshine. The Moselle River connects the two towns of Koblenz and Trier, with countless vineyards, forests and villages in between. The mountain road along the river bank is steep.
The vineyards on the cliffs and the Moselle Valley are the best Riesling producing areas in the world. Almost all the villages and towns along the river are made for wine. During the picking season, the joy of harvest is everywhere. When you see many swans swimming in the river on the left, you will see the clear river water, the houses built on the mountains on both sides, the exquisite hotels, restaurants, coffee shops and bars.
Such a lively town is Cochem. The combination of the castle, the city and the Moselle River itself makes Cochem a triple attraction for tourists. It was lunch time when they arrived in Cochem. The restaurants in the town were full. It happened that a German uncle got up and left. Yunluo and An Chuyu were lucky enough to taste the food here.
How can you not drink a glass of white wine when you come here? Holding the menu, I thought of the German pork knuckle again. The pork knuckle served this time is completely different from the last time. It is cooked, and the meat of the knuckle is pink, similar to the boiled meat that Yunluo and An Chuyu eat in China. It turns out that there is an essential difference between pork knuckles in southern and northern Germany.
In the northern Berlin region, pork elbows are marinated in salt water overnight to make the elbows tasty, and then cooked in vegetable broth until they are soft and tender, usually served with sauerkraut and pea puree. In the southern Bavaria region, roasted pork elbows are more famous and are one of the must-have dishes in German beer halls. Generally speaking, roasted pork elbows are first cooked in vegetable broth and then grilled in the oven or grill.
In order to make the skin crispy, the oven should be set to high temperature and baked for more than ten minutes, so that the skin of the German roast pork elbow is golden and crispy, and the outside is crispy and tender inside. After tasting two different pork elbows, Yunluo prefers the boiled one. It looks fat, but it is not greasy at all, and the meat is soft and melts in the mouth, served with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes.
The fragrance lingers between your lips and teeth for a long time, and paired with a big glass of beer, this is the taste of Germany. In any corner of Cochem, you can see the majestic figure of the thousand-year-old Reichsburg standing on a high mountain. According to historical records, the castle was originally built by Count Ezzo of the Palatinate in AD 1644 and was later expanded in 1661.
It was destroyed in the 18th century and rebuilt in 1939. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked up the stairs around the mountain. The noisy town and the sound of the whistle gradually faded away, and only the birds in the forest could be heard singing. When Yunluo and An Chuyu reached the top, they found out that the castle was open to the public in different time periods and the number of visitors was limited. It was already very late when it was Yunluo and An Chuyu's turn to make an appointment.
In order not to spend too much time here, Yunluo and An Chuyu chose not to visit the castle. However, Yunluo and An Chuyu were not unhappy about this at all. The large terrace on the castle could overlook the entire town of Cochem and the Moselle Valley.
Yunluo and An Chuyu drove to the tourist center and got a map. Most of Trier's attractions (including world cultural heritage sites) are concentrated in the city center, so tourists can go shopping easily. Or go to the medieval market square (Marktplatz) to drink a glass of Moselle wine.
The grape slopes of Trier are only meters away from the amphitheater. Trier is not the only German city that claims to be the oldest, but it is the oldest in Germany as a "city" with a history of more than 2,000 years, not as a colony or military station. Trier is a famous tourist city.
The geographical location is unique. Starting from here, you can not only quickly reach the Moselle River, the Saar River, the Ruwer River, the Eifel Mountain and the Hunsrück Mountain, but also the neighboring countries of Luxembourg, Belgium and France are all within easy reach. In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, what is not to be missed is the large number of historical sites left over from the ancient Roman period.
Trier has a rich cultural heritage. The existing ancient architectural masterpieces were listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2000. They are collectively called the World Heritage: Trier's ancient Roman buildings, the Cathedral and the Church of Our Lady. In order to protect their city, the Romans began to build city walls in AD. The Porta Nigra is the north gate of the Roman city wall in the 2nd century AD.
It is one of the largest existing ancient Roman city gates in the world and the best-preserved ancient Roman city gate north of the Alps. As time goes by, a black rust color appears on the walls built of sandstone, hence the name "Gate Noir". Walking in the opposite direction of Gate Noir, there are shops and small restaurants on both sides, and the market square is bustling with people.
The place was full of life. Yunluo and An Chuyu walked through the market square and passed a small alley. They saw the huge Trier Square in front of them. On the square stood the Trier Cathedral, one of the three largest churches in Germany. The sun was setting. The slanting sunlight covered the cathedral with a golden coat, making this ancient Roman Gothic building from the 18th century AD look particularly dazzling.
Whenever he walked into a church, it was not the gorgeous Gothic and Baroque decorations that attracted Yunluo, but the people praying sincerely in the huge hall. He could not help but slow down his pace, light candles, bathe in the light from the huge stained glass windows, and experience the communication between himself and God: be grateful for everything now.
Whatever you want to achieve, whatever you want to get, you can have it. It is worth mentioning that Trier is also the hometown and birthplace of Marx. The Trier Amphitheater is located in the historic city of Trier in Germany. It is a theater in the Roman period. In 1989, it was designated as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO along with other ancient Roman sites and cathedrals in Trier.
The majestic Colosseum was built in 100 BC. It provided space for about 20,000 people. It was once part of the Roman city wall and is the oldest surviving Roman building. Although the fierce competition scenes of the past no longer exist, it is still a lively place today.
Today, it is the stage for many concerts, and it is worth mentioning that the famous Roman Music Festival is held here. Various classical elements are integrated here. Artists such as Sir Peter Ustinov and Hanna Schygulla also add a lot of color to the event. The "Bread and Games" event cleverly combines entertainment and competition.
Artists, performers and gladiators vividly reproduced the battles of the Roman era based on all the knowledge we have today, but of course, the "survival rate" is much higher than that of that era. Trier is definitely a historical city that cannot be missed.
The plan was to drive all the way from Trier to Heidelberg, but the highway was closed, so Yunluo was lucky enough to come to this quiet town with a history of more than a thousand years. The church in Speyer is the largest and most representative Romanesque building in Europe, and was listed as a World Cultural Heritage by UNESCO in 2000.
Not far from the church, the towering city gate (Altpoertel) is one of the highest city gates in Germany. Standing on the tower, you can have a panoramic view of the majestic view of the cathedral. In addition to Christian culture, the ruins of the Jewish settlement, the baptistery pond, the church and the medieval temple show a glimpse of the mysterious Jewish culture.
The Palatinate History Museum, the Science and Technology Exhibition Hall, and the fourth SeaLife Marine Biology Museum in Germany are also worth a visit. In your spare time, you may want to take a Rhine cruise to enjoy the coastal scenery, sit in a cafe and enjoy the comfort of European life, or take a walk along the criss-crossing alleys. There may be surprises waiting for you in the small antique shops and galleries on the street.
Unable to take the highway, Yunluo and An Chuyu followed the country road, under the blue sky and white clouds to the final destination of the day - Heidelberg. Originally planned to enjoy a day in Heidelberg. However, due to the road conditions, Yunluo and An Chuyu arrived at around 10:00 in the afternoon. Heidelberg is a microcosm of romantic Germany, with winding and quiet alleys connecting the ancient castle and the river.
Full of poetic and picturesque beauty. Heidelberg is one of the cities Yunluo looks forward to the most during her trip to Germany. Just hearing its name is a place that I want to go to in my heart. I walked along the quiet path to the castle. Everything in front of me seemed like a silent oil painting. The clear blue sky and soft white clouds made the town dreamlike, with the winding Neckar River and the green mountains on both sides.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Surrounding the entire town. The red roofs that are connected by the river are undulating, the King's Throne Mountain, the ancient bridge, and the scattered and orderly Heidelberg is the epitome of romantic Germany, the tender side of the tough country, and the place where Goethe lost his heart. The castle is located on the King's Throne Mountain on the Neckar River. It is a reddish-brown castle and the site of the ancient imperial palace. It is mainly built of Neckar River sandstone.
The structure is complex and the style is varied. Although it is now in ruins, it still retains its royal aura. The ancient bridge spans the north and south banks of the Neckar River. There is an arch. Standing on the ancient bridge and looking out from the railing, you can see the blue water of the Neckar River under the bridge. Occasionally, there are cruise ships passing by on the river, and tourists will look up at this special building. When their eyes touch the bridge,
A feeling of attachment to the ancient bridges in Heidelberg arises spontaneously. European bridges, especially those with a little age, are regarded as works of art by people. They have become what they are today in the daily life. They may be old, mottled, or broken, but they also have history embedded in their bodies. Yunluo came to Heidelberg to experience her tranquility and beauty.
But it was a festival that day, with 100,000 tourists and noisy bands. Heidelberg became a lively big family, with everyone singing, dancing and drinking together, and the fun continued until the next morning. This was not the Heidelberg that Yunluo wanted. With the sunset, he walked back to the hotel along the Kane River.
The hotel where Yunluo and An Chuyu are staying tonight is minutes from Heidelberg. To be more precise, it is in the Leimen area - HOTELVilla Toskana (Tuscan Villa Hotel). When the car reaches the end of the road, a rich Tuscan and Mediterranean atmosphere appears in front of them. It feels like coming to another world and is particularly relaxing and comfortable.
After arriving at the lobby and doing a simple check-in, all the hotel facilities reflected the four-star standard. After arriving at the room, it was twice as big as the one Yunluo and An Chuyu had stayed in a few days ago. The spacious room and comfortable decoration made the room price of RMB a great value for money. If you are driving by yourself, I strongly recommend you to stay here. Put down your luggage.
Passing through the exquisite garden, the hotel's restaurant is of five-star standard in terms of both service and taste. The soft and fragrant bread, the lobster soup with thick olive oil, the noodles with fresh cuttlefish from Sihai City, and the tender and smooth veal steak, everything was wonderful except that the time was too short!
Strolling on the streets of Würzburg, you can feel the warm southern German atmosphere everywhere, whether it is the pedestrians strolling leisurely on the street, the trams coming and going, the lovers whispering in the open-air cafes on the street, or the tourists stopping to admire the dazzling array of small things in the windows. Time becomes luxurious and time becomes gentle.
Yun Luo's heart was also left here. Have a cup of coffee and let the good times go slower and slower. Würzburg is the starting point of the famous Romantic Road in Germany. From north to south, the scenery keeps changing. The gorgeous and shocking Würzburg Bishop's Palace, the famous ancient city on the upper reaches of the Tauber River - the fairy tale town of Rothenburg, and then to the dream castle of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.
Neuschwanstein Castle. The Romantic Road has the ancient style of several centuries ago and the aristocratic atmosphere of the Middle Ages. No matter where you go on the Romantic Road, you will find delicious wine, unique natural scenery and urban style, fairy-tale castles, churches, and fortresses. Stroll from the city center to the Würzburg Palace.
What is presented in front of you is the open palace square and this largest, most beautiful, and most luxurious palace in Germany. Anyone who has been here is deeply moved and shocked by its magnificent design. When you come to the center of the square, the elegant sculptures and fountains complement each other, and the water jets quickly turn into crystal clear water droplets from mid-air.
I couldn't help wanting to touch it with my hands. Walking around the square and through the iron gate, the palace garden is so magnificent that it is overwhelming. The fountains, sculptures, paths, and well-arranged flowers and trees make the garden and the palace complement each other. The palace is dark yellow, which is even more dazzling against the blue sky and green grass. If you don't have to go,
Yunluo is willing to sit here forever, waiting for the sun to slowly set and the stars to slowly rise. Passing through the city wall, time seems to go back a thousand years, with pointed red tile roofs and traditional German wooden beams.
The stone brick path is full of colorful medieval buildings. Under the sunset of late autumn, this fairy tale kingdom is painted with a strong romantic color. Everyone who comes here absorbs inspiration and becomes a poet. Even if you walk in this small town all day, you will not feel boring or tedious with the wonderfulness of every corner. (~^~)
