Chapter 334: Heidelberg Castle
The fragrance of the earth in the air is full of vitality, and many medicinal and spice plants that have been widely used in the medieval times can be found in the terraced gardens of the Bishop's Summer Palace.
Robin told everyone that there are many lakes and rivers here, there are mountains and rivers, and the scenery is really outstanding.
Robin walked while explaining to everyone, introducing the local scenery, the delegation followed Robin, not afraid of getting lost, Robin was a tour guide for everyone, and he was also very professional.
The Lech River originates in Austria, belongs to a tributary of the Danube, flows all the way to Füssen, and flows into Lake Folgen, the river is turquoise, like a jade belt, the scenery on both sides of the river bank is beautiful, there are many German houses, you can go all the way to Austria along the river bank, it is a good cross-country hiking tour.
Qu Lihua covered the sun in front of her forehead with her hand, and looked into the distance, only to see the Lech embankment stretching long, weeping willows swaying, sparkling, Robin told her to follow the upstream direction of the embankment to reach part of the elegant and chic Flumbach spring health resort.
Downstream of the embankment, you will reach the vast blue Fogen Lake, where Füssen's famous Festival Theatre sits next to the Fogan Lake, where parties, banquets, private dinners, celebrations, musicals, concerts and other performances are held.
This is really very beautiful, it is the place where the king once lived, when choosing the site, the choice to build the castle here, it must have been contrasted, the natural scenery here is beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, it is really impeccable, and the castle is built here, it is still very far-sighted and visionary.
Walking into the castle, you can see the royal style, the huge banquet restaurant, the luxurious concert hall, the grand stage, both the old-school traditional sense of history and the modern and mature enchantment, and you can see the fairytale Neuschwanstein Castle by walking in the colorful Baroque garden.
Robin had already taken everyone to Neuschwanstein Castle before, which left a deep impression on Qu Lihua, and then Robin took everyone to visit Goschwanstein Castle, and now he took everyone to visit Heidelberg Castle, these castles are similar in style, but they are different, Heidelberg Castle is located on the top of the King's Throne Hill.
There are many places of interest, which have been expanded several times in history to form a mixture of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance styles, and are representative works of the German Renaissance.
Robin told everyone that Heidelberg Castle took 400 years to complete, it was once one of the largest castles in Europe, the internal structure of the castle is complex, the living rooms and the palace and the castle garden, etc., the main entrance of the castle is carved with a samurai in armor, the central courtyard has a fountain and four granite columns, surrounded by concert halls, glass halls and other buildings, all have a medieval style, most of the rooms in the ancient city are now open to tourists, and some well-preserved halls are still used for banquets and art performances.
Standing on the city outline and looking into the distance, the eyes are full of boundless vineyards, beautiful, Robin also told everyone that a lot of wine can be stored in the castle, Qu Lihua used to see the big wine barrel on TV, which has a very distinctive large wine cellar, which is also one of the highlights, tourists come to sightsee, and they are very happy.
Filled with barrels of wine, these large and small barrels of different sizes can hold a total of 280,000 liters of wine, and there are two oak barrels next to the cellar, three meters and one meter in diameter, some barrels can even hide an adult man in them, if a person drinks one liter of wine a day, he will not be able to drink these wines for hundreds of years, which shows how much storage there is.
Robin said: "Germans still like to drink, drink in moderation, but a good thing, Germans not only like to drink beer, but also like to drink wine, wine is very famous in Europe, I heard the head of the Xia regiment said that you have been to France, Italy, Hungary before, they are rich in wine, our German wine is also good, I have the opportunity to take you to taste!"
"Okay!" Meng Wenjie was also very interested in wine, "I also bought a few bottles of fine wine when I went to France and Italy, and I plan to take them back to China and share them with my family and friends, they will definitely like it!"
Robin nodded, "Yes, the wine is well done, it will have flavor, mellow, authentic, and when you leave, I will also send you a few bottles of wine as a souvenir, and the good thing is to share it with your friends to be happy!"
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, and it was very pleasant to get along with Robin for the past few days.
Qu Lihua was very careful, and found that the castle owner carved a wooden statue of him to hang on the wine barrel, and hung his portrait on the wall of the wine cellar, so he asked Robin curiously, Robin smiled, this is already a legend, everyone saw him and named him the god of wine, hoping to make the wine brewed in the future very good, and people also hope to have a good meaning of blessing.
The castle cellar is a pharmaceutical museum that displays herbs and pharmaceutical utensils from the 16th to the 18th centuries.
Robin told her that this would not be easy to break and would be easier to store.
There is also a museum, the neatly arranged bottles may be used to place different medicines in the early years, Qu Lihua feels that it is a little similar to the bottles of our traditional Chinese medicine, the bottles are very delicate and beautiful, and it is very interesting to look through them in your hand.
In addition, there are some handmade utensils, such as test tubes, beakers, distillation flasks, mortars and pestles, funnels, scrapers, and scales, which can be seen here in their rudiments, which is very interesting, but most of the utensils at that time were made of metal, wood or ceramic, and they were handmade.
Everyone walked out of the cellar and came to the large balcony in front of the castle, the old town under Heidelberg was in full view, the Neckar River flowed quietly, as if telling the history of the past, the sun shone on the ancient bridge, and the elegant scenery could not help but arouse the nostalgia of the ancient times and enjoy the beauty of this moment.
In the past few days, Qu Lihua has followed Robin to see the beautiful scenery, I really feel that it is a kind of enjoyment, the beautiful natural scenery, coupled with the medieval architecture, there is a charm here, in such a beautiful scenery, I really hope that time can stay for a short time, wandering in this beautiful scenery in the world, people can't help but admire these ancient sages, writers, architecture, sculpture, aesthetics and other art masters who have worked hard for this land, shed blood and sweat, as if they can travel through time and space to talk to them.
Understanding what they think and appreciating their talents, Qu Lihua stretched her arms and wanted to embrace nature, Meng Wenjie helped her take photos and freeze the beautiful scenery on the photos.
