So Yunluo and Yan Chenyu drove from Wiesbaden to Rudesheim that day, took a boat to Koblenz, then took a train back to Rudesheim, and drove back to Wiesbaden. It felt very hard and a bit roundabout. Yunluo suggested that friends could take a train directly from Frankfurt to Rudesheim and take a boat to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river.

If you are interested in the castle, you can get off the boat and climb high to jump, but you have to hold your luggage in your hand, and then pick up the car to drive yourself. Before leaving, Yunluo checked many boat schedules, but they were all vague. Finally, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu decided to get up early, and it would be better to arrive early than to miss it.

Sure enough, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu’s choice was correct. After eating organic duck eggs in the early morning, they quickly arrived in Rudesheim in an hour.

Go straight to the tourist center. The two pictures below are the timetable of the 'kd' cruise ship. It is now the peak season for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu, with five boats a day. The red one on the right is the downstream. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu took the five-pointed star boat that departed at 9:35.

It arrives in Koblenz at 13:10 in the afternoon, and the whole journey takes more than 3 hours. The next one departs from Mainz and arrives in Boppard at 12:50. If you want to go to Koblenz, you need to change to another boat. Do you understand?

Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, also known as the Stone Fortress, is 118 meters high and stands on the Rhine River, facing the German Corner. Around 1000 AD, a small castle building appeared here. In the following centuries, the electors of Trier converted it into a fortress.

After being destroyed by the French, the Kingdom of Prussia also sent people to repair the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. This fortress is one of the most powerful fortresses built in Europe after 1815 and is still well preserved.

Everything here seems to be exquisite, small hotels, small wine alleys, small taverns, even the train station is very small, only the vineyards are large and wide. The aerial cable car glides over the vineyards. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu did not take the cable car, but walked slowly around the back mountain, taking in the vineyards, the Rhine River and Bingen on the opposite bank.

The grapes here are grown on tripods, which is different from what Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had seen in Dunhuang before. The fruits are all green, and they are used to make delicious Riesling.

In fact, Rüdesheim is a very small city. To Yunluo, it is just a small town, not a city, so if you choose to live here, the location will not be bad, but it is this small city that attracts three million tourists every year.

European train stations only have platforms but no ticket gates. Only those in class 1 or those who have reserved seats can take seats according to their numbers. Others can sit as long as there is a vacant seat after getting on the train. The train door will only open when the button on the door is pressed manually, so don't wait for the door to open automatically.

I chose a window seat. I wrote down the date on my ticket. After the train stopped at several stations, I finally saw the legendary ticket inspector. He tapped the date on my ticket. Seeing that I was a foreigner, he asked me where I was going and reminded me what time I should get off. <. After putting away my luggage, I took the train to Mainz.

Mainz is the capital and largest city of the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate. It is located opposite the estuary where the Main River and the Rhine River meet, close to Frankfurt, and is a university town with many churches and palaces.

Walk straight from the train station and up the slope. You will see St. Stephen's Cathedral. The most charming view is the nine brilliant stained glass windows painted by the Russian Jewish artist Marc Chagall in his twilight years with stories from the Old and New Testaments as the theme.

The addition of green, yellow and red tones to the deep blue makes this place full of mystery and has a medieval texture. It is a symbol of reconciliation between Judaism and Christianity.

Mainz Cathedral is one of the most magnificent churches in Germany. The Archbishop Memorial Tomb and the Church Museum house many precious artworks. As the seat of the Archbishop of Mainz, one of the seven electors of the Holy Roman Empire, the church is very majestic and magnificent. The sculptures of many past archbishops are very exquisite.

There are often organ performances in the church. On Saturdays, there is a large market outside the church, mainly selling food and flowers, as well as some handicrafts.

It only takes about ten minutes to get from Mainz to Wiesbaden by train, and there are many trains.

Wiesbaden is a city in the central and western part of Germany and the capital of Hesse. It has a long history of more than 2,000 years. Emperor Wilhelm of Germany called Wiesbaden "Nice of Northern Europe", and the people gave it the reputation of "City of Villas".

In addition to being the political center of Hesse, Wiesbaden is also a famous hot spring resort in Germany, known as "a city full of springs and flowers". It has been known as early as the Roman Empire. The place name Wiesbaden evolved from the name of a hot spring.

Coming out of the train station, walking along the beautiful streets on both sides, a church appeared in front of us. Walking towards the church, we passed a beautiful alley.

It rained a little in the morning, and it was a little cold. I went out wrapped in a scarf, and red and yellow leaves fell all over the ground. Autumn has quietly arrived in Koblenz.

Walking along the river, I found many squirrels and birds running on the grass for food. Town residents also took their dogs for a run. From time to time, I met elderly people riding bicycles for exercise. Koblenz is a city in western Germany. It is located at the confluence of the Moselle River and the Rhine River. It is an ancient Roman town. It was the residence of the Frankish royal family in the sixth century AD. It was famous for its commerce in the early days.

The confluence of the Rhine and Moselle rivers was given the name "German Corner" in the 13th century due to the arrival of the German Knights. There is a monument to Kaiser Wilhelm, which served as a symbol of German unity from 1953 to 1990, before Germany was reunited.

After the death of William I, the first emperor of the German Empire, in 1888, the idea of ​​building a memorial sculpture for him emerged throughout the German Empire to thank the German emperor for his fighting for the unification of Germany in the three wars of 1864, 1866 and 1871.

Various places in Germany applied to build statues of their emperors in their own cities, and Koblenz was one of them.

In 1891, the young Emperor Wilhelm II finally decided to choose Koblenz in the Rhineland, and the specific location of the statue was chosen at the confluence of the Moselle and Rhine rivers.

The one million gold marks needed to build the statue were raised through nationwide donations. On August 31, 1897, William II personally unveiled the statue of William I. The designer of the sculpture was the German architect Bruno Schmitz (z, November 21, 1858 - April 27, 1916).

The total height of the sculpture is 37 meters, of which the equestrian statue is 14 meters high. In the sculpture, Emperor William I is wearing a general's uniform and a coat fluttering in the wind. The genius beside him is holding a horse in one hand and a mattress and the emperor's crown in the other. In front of the sculpture is a carving of the German Empire eagle, which is holding a snake and shouting at the enemy.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This shows the majesty of William I. The base of the sculpture is engraved with "Spring Greetings to the Motherland" by Koblenz poet Max von Schenkendorf.

Climb up the Kaiser Wilhelm Monument and look out over the German Corner, where you can see the confluence of the yellow and black rivers. Not far from the monument is the Hertz Church of Jesus. The church was built in 1900 and completed in 1903. It is a neo-Roman Catholic church.

It was noon when we arrived at the Hertz Church of Jesus, and the church was closed. But there was a lawn outside the church with many flowers in bloom. Sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree and reading a book in the afternoon was a wonderful way to travel.

Leaving the quiet and beautiful Koblenz, we took the train along the Rhine to Cologne. Coming out of the Cologne train station, the Cologne Cathedral unexpectedly appeared in front of us. <, full name Hohe), is a Catholic cathedral located in Cologne, Germany, and is a landmark building in Cologne. Among all the churches, it ranks second in Germany (second only to the Ulm Cathedral in Ulm) and third in the world in height.

In terms of scale, it is the largest church in northern Europe. Combining grandeur and delicacy, it is hailed as the most perfect example of Gothic church architecture. Its construction began in 1248, and the project was intermittent until 1880, when it was declared completed by German Emperor Wilhelm I. It took more than 600 years, and the renovation project is still ongoing.

Cologne Cathedral is located in the center of Cologne. It is a symbol of European Christian authority and a model of Gothic religious architectural art. It is a rare five-story building with a high and wide interior space and towers pointing straight to the sky, symbolizing the desire of people to communicate with God. In addition to the two towers, there are many small spires outside the church.

The walls of the church are decorated with stained glass depicting biblical characters; the bell tower is equipped with 5 bells, the heaviest of which weighs 24 tons. The bells ring in unison, and the sound is loud and clear. There are many treasures in Cologne Cathedral. During World War II, the church was partially destroyed and has been under restoration for nearly 20 years. As a symbol of faith and a witness to European cultural traditions, Cologne Cathedral was finally preserved.
