After getting off the bus, go to the ticket office first and follow the crowd. You must follow the guide to enter the two castles. There are two places at the ticket office, one for selling tickets and the other for picking up tickets. If you have booked the castle tickets in advance, you only need to pick up the tickets.
There are very few people picking up tickets, and the line for buying tickets is super long, so if you can, book your tickets now. After buying the tickets, just follow the crowd, usually go to the old castle first, then go to the new castle. The old castle is relatively short, so you can just go up directly, but the new castle is a bit high, so you need to walk a long way.
If you take the road, it will take about an hour, so you should arrange your itinerary according to the guided tour time on the ticket and go to the New Castle in advance, because if you miss the time, you may not be able to enter? Yunluo has not tried it, if you don’t believe it, you can try it haha.
There are two types of guided tours: manual guided tours and automatic guided tours. Manual guided tours are available in English and German, while automatic guided tours are available in Chinese. However, I feel that manual guided tours are more interesting. If you can understand English, you can choose according to your needs.
In fact, the real place to take photos of Neuschwanstein Castle is the Marienbrücke across the street. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the bridge, so you can visit the castle first and then go there to take photos. From Marienbrücke, you can climb up the mountain, where there are fewer people. The bridge is basically full of people, and most people just rush to take a few photos.
The hotel where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu stayed was a hotel converted from an old lady's home. The old lady hired another old lady. The two of them run it. They don't go online often, so even if you have submitted a request online saying that Yunluo wants to check in early, and he has replied that you can, when you go there, he still tells you in broken English.
You can only check in after 3pm, you can only check in after 3pm, ah. She looks really bad. . . . She gave Yunluo a bad impression, as if she discriminated against Yunluo and Yan Chenyu, as if Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were taking advantage of her. Not friendly at all. In fact, it was her own fault. She replied to Yunluo and told him that he could check in early.
But then he changed his mind again, and still had such a stiff attitude! The next day, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were even angrier when they were about to leave. According to the principle, they had to leave before 10 o'clock. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu got up early in the morning and wanted to go out for a walk. Just as they were about to leave at 8 o'clock in the morning, the old lady chased them and said, don't forget to check out before 10 o'clock!
Yunluo, what the hell! Yunluo and Yan Chenyu had no choice but to tell her, I know, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu were just strolling around! After hearing what Yunluo and Yan Chenyu said, she was still unhappy. With a pout, she was really the kind of European old lady that people hate! But the breakfast was very romantic.
Alas. Considering that you are so old, I will forgive you. I guess you are also an old lady that people don’t like.
Munich Oktoberfest. This time I happened to catch the annual Munich Oktoberfest in Germany, and I also experienced the huge crowds of people in Germany! On the train from Füssen to Munich, young people, old people and children from all over Bavaria (Bavaria) would get on at every stop.
Most of them were wearing local ethnic costumes (these clothes were exactly the same as the clothes of German farmers that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu saw on TV, haha). They were very cute. Many of them were already drunk when they got on the bus, and almost everyone brought a bunch of beer.
The young man sitting opposite Yunluo and Yan Chenyu seemed rather shy. After getting on the bus, he greeted the people around him and would take the initiative to help if they needed help moving luggage. This should be the image of a more traditional young person in Germany, very quiet and shy.
A group of young people who came on later were completely different from the shy young man. They started shouting and singing folk songs. There were boys and girls, and their voices were so loud. It was so noisy. Some of them were already drunk before they got off the bus. Yunluo wondered if these people could not participate in the beer festival at all, hahaha.
The beer festival was held in a uniformly planned area in Munich. It felt a bit like Yunluo and Yanchenyu's carnival, with amusement facilities everywhere, food, drinks, and fun, and everyone gathered together happily. People from all over the world came to participate in the beer festival, blocking the beer festival site, and garbage was everywhere on the ground.
Yunluo and Yan Chenyu didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much. It might be because they had stayed in China for too long. The subway was like this every morning, so they were used to it. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu ate a grilled chicken leg and left in a hurry. They still preferred the quieter Germany.
King's Lake is in Berchtesgaden. In fact, King's Lake is closer to Salzburg, Austria, and more convenient. Of course, the room rate in Salzburg is much cheaper than that in Munich. Therefore, after attending the beer festival, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu set off for Salzburg. It takes about 2 hours by slow train from Munich to Salzburg.
Bavaria tickets are available, so if you have the same itinerary as Yunluo and Yan Chenyu, it is recommended to buy Bavaria tickets~~.
There is a bus outside the Salzburg train station that goes directly to Berchtesgaden, 840. If you are not sure, you can consult the local DB ticket office. Don't buy a train ticket. You have to transfer 2 buses to get there, which is very troublesome and there is no English sign, which is very inconvenient. You can buy bus tickets directly from the bus driver.
No need to buy in advance. But please note that the earliest bus from Monday to Thursday is at 6:30 and the second bus is at 8:30, but there is no bus at 6:30 on Friday. The earliest bus on Saturday and Sunday is at 9:30. You can check the bus stop information in advance. There is no English on the bus stop, so you have to remember these German words.
The bus is at 8:30 on Friday and 9:30 on Saturday and Sunday, but because I don't understand German, I thought the bus is at 8:30 from Monday to Sunday, so I got up early the next morning, but the bus didn't come after waiting for a long time. Later I realized that this means Monday to Sunday.
These German words appear quite frequently in Germany, so it is better to remember them:-). However, they are usually abbreviations, with the first three letters representing them.
King Lake is divided into two attractions: Jena Peak and King Lake. It is not recommended to visit these two attractions in one day, as it will be very crowded. I will introduce the time arrangements for each of them later. If you choose to stay in Berchtesgaden.
It is quite convenient. Arriving at the hotel in Berchtesgaden, I asked the hotel for a guest card first. With this card, I can take the local bus for free. This card is free.
Okay, now let me start introducing the attractions.
Prime Minister King Lake. You need to take a bus from Berchtesgaden Station to King Lake. It takes about 15 minutes. Bus 841 is fine. The route to King Lake is roughly like this: Aden----(RVO839, 841, 843 buses, 10 minutes)-King Lake Cable Car Station.
Walk (10 minutes) to King Lake Pier - Take a boat (1 hour) to the terminal Salet - Walk (15 minutes) to Obersee - Walk along the lake (1 hour) to the wooden house on the other side of the lake of Obersee. The scenery along the way is outstanding - Walk (20 minutes) to the waterfall - Walk back (1 hour and 35 minutes) to A) Get off the boat and visit the church (about 30 minutes) - Take a boat (15 minutes) to King Lake Pier. It takes about 5 hours, which is still a relatively fast speed. If you walk and stop, it will be slower. And because King Lake is a popular tourist attraction.
There are a lot of people, but the cruise ship doesn't have that much capacity, so you have to wait. You have to wait from the time you line up to buy tickets! Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived at King's Lake at 11 o'clock, and they were not allowed to board the boat until 1:10 in the afternoon. The last boat has a return time. You have to pay attention to the time, otherwise Yunluo doesn't know what will happen if you miss it-_-.
Come to Yunluo and Yanchenyu to see the soap slices of King Lake, the scenery is outstanding!
Well, the trip to King's Lake ends here. The scenery is very beautiful. Because King's Lake is surrounded by mountains, it is easy to have an echo. During the cable car journey, someone played a song to let Yunluo and Yan Chenyu feel the charm of the echo. It was very good, but you have to pay~~ You have the final say on how much to pay, haha.
The next day, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went to Jena Peak. The Jena Peak Cable Car Station is located in front of King Lake. As for Jena Peak, the locals all take the hiking route, and it is recommended to take 7 hours to go up and down. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu thought about it and decided to forget it. At this speed, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu might only be able to get up the mountain at night, haha.
So we took the cable car, and only after taking the cable car did we discover the charm of the cable car! The first cable car started at 9:30. When Yunluo and Yan Chenyu went there early in the morning, there were very few people, and the mountain was surrounded by clouds and mist that morning. I thought I wouldn't be able to see anything when I got to the mountain, but I didn't expect that when the cable car was halfway up,
Suddenly the fog disappeared, and you saw that the ground below was still covered by fog, but the sky above was clear. The feeling was so beautiful.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Because Jena Peak is quite high, the cable car ride takes a long time, taking 30 minutes to reach the top of the mountain, and costs 20 Euros per round trip.
If you want to understand the ancient and modern Berlin, you really need to understand its history. Berlin, the political center of Germany, was founded in the 13th century. At the end of the 15th century, Berlin became the capital of the Electorate of Brandenburg. By the beginning of the 18th century, the Elector of Brandenburg was powerful on the political stage.
The city also received strong support and developed rapidly. Later, Berlin became the capital of the Kingdom of Prussia and the unified German Empire. However, in 1920, during the Weimar Republic, the capital was given to Weimar, and Berlin became a city of literature and art, with outstanding performances in drama, music, and film, which was called the Golden 20s.
After World War II, Germany was divided and Berlin was forced to split into two. The city's brilliance dimmed and faded. It was not until 1990, after the reunification of East and West Germany, that it regained its status as the capital, and concentrated on construction and reorganization, full of positive new vitality. Berlin is like a teenager who wants to grow up, with unlimited possibilities.
Even the Berlin Wall that divided Berlin into two parts, which once recorded a history of the division of the German nation, has now become a glorious piece of graffiti art history in the world.
Walking down the street, you will see Berlin bears of all colors and designs displayed in the closed shops. Why are there so many bears in Berlin? Berlin was founded in 1237 by Albert, the Margrave of Brandenburg. Because his nickname was the Bear, people have used a standing black bear as the emblem of Berlin.
Holding the map, they walked towards the Brandenburg Gate. On the right, a rectangular block of different heights and sizes appeared. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu walked inside curiously and found that the road was not flat. Some places were high and some were low. The shortest ones only reached Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's calves, while the tallest ones were higher than their height.
Walking inside, I felt a little sad, and even a little scared after it got dark. I took out the map and looked at it carefully, and found that this was part of the European Holocaust Memorial, a group of mud mounds on the ground.
They are not only commemorating the 6 million Jewish dead, but also want to remind everyone to remember the darkness of that year and always be vigilant against the ghost of fascism by exposing such a typical crime.
The sky gradually darkened. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu just happened to walk to the Brandenburg Gate. When it appeared in front of Yunluo, Yunluo realized that Yunluo had come here and was standing under it. The Brandenburg Gate witnessed the rise and fall of the German nation. From a historical perspective, this gate can be called the first gate of Germany and the German triumphal arch.
It was originally a gate of the Berlin Wall, built between 1788 and 1791 by order of Prussian King Frederick William II to commemorate Prussia's victory in the Seven Years' War. After Germany's defeat in World War II, it was divided into East Germany and West Germany. Berlin was also divided into East Berlin and West Berlin, with East Berlin occupied by the Soviet Union. (To be continued...)
