In addition to the scenery, Heidelberg also has the oldest university in Germany. Heidelberg University has a total of 28,000 students and is one of Germany's large academic research institutions. Its subject range covers a number of majors, including Egyptian studies and computer languages. It has the best faculty in Germany in the fields of medicine, law and natural sciences.

It is not only the birthplace of German romantic literature and art, but also has nurtured many Nobel Prize-winning scientists.

On the blue Königstuhl mountain, the Heidelberg Castle built of red sandstone, although in ruins, still retains its kingly demeanor, overlooking the old town of Heidelberg and the Neckar River at the foot of the mountain.

Heidelberg's attractions are concentrated in the old town. The winding Neckar River connects the main attractions on both sides. The main street parallel to the Neckar River is the longest pedestrian street in Europe. There are various attractions, restaurants and shopping places along the road. It is the center of the old town. You can walk around Heidelberg's attractions in one day, but this city is more suitable for slowing down and savoring it carefully.

The Neckar River runs through Heidelberg, close to the old town, between the green hills and valleys, and complements the old bridge and castle, forming a perfect picture. There are riverbanks for pedestrians to walk on both the north and south banks of the river, especially the north bank, which has lawns and gardens and is a good place to rest and enjoy the scenery.

The official name of the Old Bridge is Karl-Theodor Bridge, which is the name of the elector who built this Baroque stone bridge in 1788. This is the ninth bridge at this location since the ancient Roman period and the oldest bridge on the Neckar River in the Heidelberg area today.

The sculpture on the bridge is Elector Karl Theodor at the south end and the goddess of wisdom at the north end (to praise the Elector's support for art and science).

There is a bronze monkey sculpture at the head of the old bridge. The monkey holds a mirror in its hand. There are two mice around it. Touching the mirror in the monkey's hand will bring you wealth, and holding the monkey's outstretched finger will bless you to return to Heidelberg in the future. The mice are for blessing you with many children and grandchildren.

It rained heavily the morning we left Heidelberg. The train headed to Freiburg in Hesse. The weather was still cloudy and rainy.

Freiburg is located near the westernmost end of the southern Black Forest. The old town is grand yet refined, with clear streams running through it, red brick walls, and tower spires. As a university town, it adds a strong bookish atmosphere and youthful vitality.

The most interesting part of Freiburg is the canal on the streets of the old town. It was originally a fire prevention measure in the Middle Ages, but now it has become a beautiful legend: if a stranger accidentally steps into the canal, he will return to Freiburg one day, and if he is a bachelor, he can marry a beautiful woman from Freiburg and become a Freiburger forever.

On the busy shopping street, you can see the tall Martin Gate at a glance. Trams pass through the gate, and the rails on the ground, the wires in the sky, and the city gate together form a beautiful landscape.

Augsburg is the third largest city in Bavaria. It is located in the west of Bavaria. It is only about half an hour away from Munich by train. The history of this city can also be traced back to the ancient Roman era.

In the long history, this place was once an important cultural center. Today, there are many churches left over from the Middle Ages, town halls from the Renaissance, and Rococo-style palaces in the city.

The architecture of the Church of St. Anne has significant Renaissance architectural features. The building materials outside the church are white stone, and the interior is made of brick. The church looks very simple from the outside, without any particularly luxurious decorations, but it exudes a mysterious classicist atmosphere from the inside out.

There are many treasures in the church. They are of great appreciation and collection value. Walking into the church is like walking into a rare treasure museum. It is dazzling and eye-opening. In addition to these treasures, there is also a very luxurious Fugger Chapel in the church. Many people come here to worship every day.

Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the representative works of romantic knight's castle and the prototype of the Disney logo.

The founder of Neuschwanstein Castle was a Bavarian king, Ludwig II, who had no talent for governing the country but was full of artistic temperament.

He personally participated in the design of the castle. There are a lot of German swan sculptures inside. He dreamed of building the castle into a fairy-tale world. Since the white castle stands on a high mountain, it is surrounded by mountains and lakes. Therefore, the scenery is different in each season.

1. There are many people coming to Neuschwanstein Castle. Generally, the queue is at least 2 hours. Try to arrive early. The ticket office opens at 8 o'clock.

2. There are three ways to get to the castle from the ticket office: walking, bus (1.8 euros), and horse carriage (5 euros). It takes about 20 minutes to walk up the mountain. The road is not difficult to walk, but there are basically queues for buses and horse carriages.

3. The visiting time is written on the ticket, and each batch is limited to 45 minutes, so don't be late.

From Augsburg to Füssen, the scenery along the way is fascinating. This place, like a fairyland on earth, hides ancient folk tales about magic, kings, and knights, as well as endless primeval forests, tender hillsides, herds of cattle and sheep walking on the endless green fields, the Alps covered with snow all year round, and endless wide lakes.

You can take bus No. 78 to Neuschwanstein Castle for free at Fussen Square, Fussen Train Station. The round trip ticket is 4.4 euros, and two people can use one ticket. There is a bus timetable at the get-off point. After getting off the bus, turn right and go uphill to buy the ticket.

As there was too much time and too many people queuing to take the bus and horse carriage up the mountain, Yunluo decided to hike up the mountain.

The way up the mountain is not difficult to walk. There are a few small shops to visit halfway up the mountain. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the foot of the castle. If you arrive at the castle early, you can walk to the right and look at Neuschwanstein Castle from the Maria Bridge and take the standard photo on the postcard.

Munich is the third largest city in Germany, the capital and largest city of Bavaria, and was founded in 1158. It is not only a high-tech center city, but also a major financial city in Germany and even in the world.

Munich has a very long history and cultural tradition. It not only has a rich artistic life, but also pays great attention to the protection of traditional folk customs and local cultural relics. In Munich, museums, galleries and theaters are scattered throughout the city.

Michaelskirche is a Catholic church in Munich, Germany, and the largest Renaissance church north of the Alps. It was built between 1583 and 1597 by Duke William V of Bavaria as a Jesuit church, serving as a spiritual center for the Counter-Reformation.

The style of this building had a great influence on the early Baroque architecture of southern Germany. The church facade is very majestic and has some statues of members of the Wittelsbach dynasty. Between the two entrances, the huge bronze statue of Hubertgerhard shows the Archangel Michael fighting for the faith and killing the devil in the form of a dragon.

There is a column of the Virgin Mary in the middle of the square, expressing people's gratitude and love for the Virgin Mary. There is a fish fountain in the northeast corner of the square, which used to be the place where butcher apprentices held their apprenticeship ceremony. To the northwest of Marion Square is the Marion Church, the New Town Hall is on the north side of Marion Square, the Old Town Hall is on the east side of the square, and the Viktorian Market is on the southeast side of the square.

Heidelberg was Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's first stop in Germany. In fact, they chose Heidelberg as their first stop. Heidelberg gave Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a quiet feeling. In fact, except for the beer festival, Germany as a whole gave Yunluo and Yan Chenyu a quieter feeling than France.

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

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were wandering in southern Germany, so people were relatively more conservative, which made it seem quieter and the sense of distance was stronger. However, Yunluo personally prefers a sense of distance, so Germany left a better impression on Yunluo than France if Yunluo had to choose a country to live in.

Yunluo likes Germany more because the people are more reliable and the country is more reliable. The natural environment and healthy travel are very common in Germany. I like it very much.

Heidelberg is a very small tourist city. All the attractions are on its main street. It is a very long main street and it takes more than an hour to walk through it. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu wandered around slowly and would stop whenever they saw something beautiful, fun or delicious. It took them an entire afternoon to walk through the main street.

Of course, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu also went to the local castle. Looking down from the castle, you can see the whole Heidelberg. You will find that Heidelberg is so small! The castle is at the end of the main street. Buy a ticket to enter the castle. If you want to go to the top, the cable car fee is 12 euros. If you don’t need to go to the top, the cable car fee is 6 euros.

The castle fee seems to be 12 euros, I don't remember it clearly, but it's relatively cheap overall. When you arrive in Heidelberg, you will see a big sign outside the train station. You can get a map first, which will mark all the tourist attractions in Heidelberg. Just follow the signs.

First, let me show you a panoramic view of Heidelberg taken from the castle.

The red house is the symbol of Heidelberg. Heidelberg has a small population, 20% of which are college students. The university in Heidelberg has no gate and is integrated into the city. It is also for this reason that Yunluo couldn't find the school!

It is strongly recommended to take the cable car to the castle. When riding, take the last row going up the mountain and the first row going down the mountain, so that you can take the most complete photos of Heidelberg.

After reaching the summit, there is a hiking park on the top of the mountain. Hiking and cycling are so popular in Germany. Almost everyone has a bicycle, and there are outdoor equipment owners everywhere. Of course, the natural scenery of Germany itself is also very good, and there are also many bicycle paths.

After coming down from Heidelberg, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu strolled along the main street, which was a completely pedestrian street with no vehicles but only pedestrians. When they were tired, they would stop and sit on the roadside to listen to the performances of street artists, or eat desserts in street shops. Eating desserts in street shops is a habit of Europeans in the afternoon. (To be continued...)
