Chapter 394: Hohenzollern Castle
Berchtesgaden is located in the foothills of the Alps in southeastern Bavaria, Germany, 20 kilometers from Salzburg, Austria, and has a population of okay, not too much, not too little.
Robin takes everyone on a tour and tells the history of the place, which was founded in 1978 by Berchtesgaden, which includes the clear and green waters of the Königssee and the Watzmann Mountain, Germany's second highest peak.
Surrounded by the Austrian state of Salzburg to the east, south and southwest, and bordered by Traunstein County to the northwest and north, Berchtesgaden became the heart of Germany during World War II and famous for its beautiful national parks.
"The scenery of this place is beautiful, although it has been so many years, it still retains some of its original style, I take everyone to see, the scenery here is still quite good. ”
Head Xia Yuxiang said: "This place is still quite famous, and it used to be a very important place!"
Robin nodded, "Yes, Berchtesgaden is surrounded by the Alps, among which the Watzmann Mountains have peaks of 1,300 to 2,500 meters, which is the second highest peak in Germany, and the other Jena is 1,874 meters high, and about 3 kilometers from Berchtesgaden is the turquoise Königslake, which is a narrow 8-kilometer mountain lake, and there is a white-walled and red-roofed St. Bartholomaius Chapel by the lake. ”
"Berchtesgaden has a variety of scenery throughout the year, in spring, full of fresh greenery, mountain flowers in full bloom, people can't bear to leave, in summer, blue sky and white clouds, green water and clear waves. ”
"Autumn is coming, the mountains are full of red leaves, the slopes are full of cattle and sheep, the morning fog and sunset, the winter here is covered in silver, it is the world of alpine skiers, it is really a fairyland on earth. ”
"The scenery here is very beautiful, the climate in Germany is actually not cold, it is not like Russia, in winter, it is really icy and snowy, the snow is so deep that you can not live a person, houses and cars can be buried in the snow. ”
"Some are natural environment, some natural conditions, so the geographical location and natural climate are very important, a place with natural conditions is advantageous, it is also easy to develop, and tourism can also be developed, now young people are very fond of traveling, many attractions are maintained by tourism income. ”
"Tourism has also driven the surrounding industries, such as hotel catering, hotel industry, and even surrounding transportation!"
Qu Lihua nodded, "Robin, you also introduced the geographical location of Germany to everyone before, I forgot a little, you tell us again, let us deepen some impressions, and then tell you about the climate of Germany!"
"Okay, Germany is located in the cool westerly wind belt between the Atlantic Ocean and the eastern continental climate, the four seasons are distinct, mild and humid, travel here, generally just prepare the appropriate clothing for North China, the summer day is very hot, the night is cooler, you need to bring a sweater, the winter climate in the north is warmer and wetter, even warmer than the south. ”
"In fact, this climate is not cold in Germany, in Europe, Germany is still a more suitable country for human habitation, I still recommend three seasons to travel, spring, summer, autumn, are OK, in winter, is the off-season for tourism, many travel agencies have stopped receiving tourists. ”
"Because the winter is cold, some lakes will freeze, the slopes are also more slippery, there is precipitation all year round, the exception is the Upper Rhine Valley, Oberbein and Harz Mountains, in contrast, the Upper Rhine Valley is warmer and wetter, Oberbein can often feel the hot and dry wind blowing from the Alps, the Harz mountain wind is biting, in winter, it is still not recommended to go to the mountains, it is too cold. ”
"The summer is cool and the winter is snowy, the scenery is still good, the elderly are not recommended to visit in winter, the elderly have bad legs and feet, plus the snow in winter, some of the ground has snow, the lake will also freeze up, it is inconvenient to travel, it is recommended to travel to Germany in the other three seasons, it is better, this is my suggestion." ”
Head Xia Yuxiang nodded, "Yes, let's go to Hohenzollern Castle again, I found that there are indeed many castles in Germany!"
"Okay!" Robin nodded, "This is a German characteristic, there are many castles left over from the Middle Ages, which are very commemorative, the longer the time, the more its historical and cultural precipitation, I will take you to see it!"
Hohenzollern Castle is located in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, together with Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, known as the two major castles in southern Germany, and is the birthplace of the Kingdom of Prussia and the German Hohenzollern family.
The original Hohenzollern Castle was built in the 11th century and later rebuilt, and is one of the most majestic castle buildings in Germany, regarded as a masterpiece of fortress architecture in the 19th century, and is also ranked among the top five castles in Europe and the top ten castles in the world. ”
"That's how famous it is, so I think it's necessary to take everyone to see and feel it, I'll introduce it to you, and everyone follow me to experience the romantic style here!"
Robin introduced while leading everyone forward, Qu Lihua looked up and looked around, and really felt that this place was very quaint.
Renovated by Prussian architects, it was built around the same time as Neuschwanstein Castle, but in contrast to the fairytale façade of Neuschwanstein Castle, Hohenzollernberg has an innate quaintness, with six mausoleums on the periphery of the castle, each with its own name, still standing solidly, documenting the glorious history of the Prussian dynasty.
The castle displays relics of Frederick the Great, the treasures of the Prussian kings, and the crown, and through these exhibitions, you can really feel the Prussian Hohenzollern martial traditions, and at the castle information desk, visitors from China can also see brochures in Chinese.
"This is a Chinese brochure specially placed for Chinese tourists, for the convenience of Chinese tourists, there are also tour guides and staff, responsible for answering questions, if you don't understand, you can ask, tour guides are generally proficient in many foreign languages, German, English, French and Chinese. ”
"You can talk directly in Chinese, it's also possible, there are still a lot of Chinese tourists who come here to visit, a large number of Chinese tourists come every year, and the interest in visiting is still very high!"
"So I prepared a Chinese introduction brochure for everyone, and there are special tour guides and staff reception, and the consideration is still very thoughtful!"
Head Xia Yuxiang smiled, "It seems that we are very strong, we have gone to many foreign attractions, many attractions are equipped with Chinese introduction manuals, and the tour guide can even speak Chinese, it is really convenient to consult." ”
"Yes! Head Xia is right, we Chinese tourists travel abroad every year, bring a lot of purchasing power, as people's living conditions are getting better and better, there are also many Chinese out of the country, can see what the world is like, to experience food and attractions, is also very happy!" Meng Wenjie said.
