A week later, Robin set off again, this time to the Zugspitze, the highest peak in Germany, at 2,963 meters above sea level, on the border between Germany and Austria.

"The mountain is still very high, and it is a very good tourist area for those who love mountaineering, and I occasionally bring friends here to climb the mountain. ”

Qu Lihua also felt very curious, as a person who has lived in the city for a long time, she rarely has time to go on vacation, and rarely goes mountaineering, she has the opportunity to come here to see, she also feels very fresh, she is still very interested in here, she feels that occasionally come to climb the mountain, relax, it is still good for young people living in the city. ”

Robin was also very patient when introducing the attractions, and there were many mysterious and moving legends about the Zugspitze among the German residents, and he told everyone as he walked.

Coming here, it takes a while to adapt to the surrounding environment at the beginning, the mountain peaks are steep, the clouds and mist are shrouded, the terrain is complex, no one dares to explore the mountain for a long time, the locals spread a story that people are not welcome to explore the mountain on the Zugspitze, and those who want to conquer it have never returned.

The story also held back for a while, until 1821, when the 27-year-old young lieutenant Nauss first reached its summit and explored the borders of the Kingdom of Bavaria, thus unveiling the mystery of the Zugspitze.

"Everything needs someone to take the lead in doing it, this is the best example, if this young lieutenant didn't come here to explore, I'm afraid people would be scared by this legend and dare not come here, in fact, this place is not as terrible as the legend, plus later here vigorously developed tourism, but also after some artificial development, it is not so dangerous. ”

"Robin, how can there be two peaks from here?" Qu Lihua asked Robin.

Robin put his hand on the pergola, looked into the distance, and after looking at it for a while, he looked back and smiled.

"Oh, there are two snow peaks standing proudly in front of the Zug Peak, the big one is called the Big Fakesen Peak, the small one is called the Little Farkson Peak, the height is also more than two thousand meters, looking from afar, like two guards standing in front of the Zug Peak, this is a mountain that the German people love deeply, because it is high, it is also the pride of the German people, it has become a famous scenic spot, after some artificial development, the stone steps are paved in some places, and it is much more convenient to walk than when there were no stone steps before. ”

The height of the Zugspitze looks very spectacular, and there are two ways to get to the summit of the Zugspitze, one is by car and the other is on foot.

"Hike, I know you're all from the city, but not so I'm going to walk a bit of a mountain trail and take everyone on a ride, and you'll like it. ”

"Okay!" Qu Lihua was so happy when she heard that she could take the car, she was from the city, and she was always a little scared when she heard about climbing the mountain, so it was better to take the car to make her happy and save more effort.

Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Xiaoqu and Xiaomeng are young people, they young people can't climb mountains, don't say that we old arms, old legs, it's better to take a car, you can save effort, just save effort, we Chinese are very practical, how comfortable, how to come!"

"Hahaha......"

Robin also smiled, "Yes, if you choose to climb on foot, the climb is extremely difficult, the average climber must be fully prepared, and have a certain amount of mountaineering experience, but also have strong perseverance and firm beliefs, but also have professional training, in order to withstand such mountaineering pressure, the average tourist, from the physical considerations, I also do not recommend climbing on foot." ”

There are two ways up the mountain, one is slower and the other is steeper, and climbers often carry a wrap on their backs, holding ropes and pickaxes, and go through great dangers to reach the summit.

Mountaineering by car is a more convenient and safe method, starting from the small town of Garmich at the foot of the mountain, to Glenau to change the car to take the real climbing train, this climbing train is also called the gear train, the characteristic is that there are two huge gears installed on the chassis of each carriage, a tooth groove is added in the middle of the track, when the train is running, the gear is tightly clamped with the tooth groove, can only move forward, will not slide, ensure the safety of driving.

The vegetation of the Zugspitze varies according to the height, and the beautiful Lake Epp is embedded in a green jungle from the bottom to the top, followed by beech broad-leaved forests, coniferous forests dominated by cypresses, then dwarf mountain pine forests endemic to Central Europe, then patches of grasslands and scrublands, and finally a field of snow and rock.

The natural vegetation is still abundant, with large green forests covering the area, and from the north side of the platform there is a cliff that leads a steel cable to the two huge rocks on the opposite side, which is the natural summit of the Zugspitze, on which rises a copper cross.

Listen to Robin's introduction, the Zugshorn is a mountain jointly owned by Germany and Austria, and there is also a cable car to go up and down the mountain on the Austrian side.

These are two neighboring countries, if you want to go to Austria, you can also go through here, Robin minds that after everyone has been to Germany, the next country to visit can be Austria.

When he went to France and Italy, head Xia Yuxiang considered going to Austria, Robin mentioned Austria again, and head Xia Yuxiang said that he would discuss with Dean Zhang, and after the German trip came to an end, he would go to Austria.

About 300 meters from the summit there is the highest marriage registry office and church in Germany, where young mountaineers can register their marriages on the Zugspitze, where the "highest" wedding in Germany is held, and there is an Internet café where visitors can pay homage to their friends from all over the world.

"This is a very novel place, how can the marriage registry office still be located here?" Qu Lihua was very curious.

Robin smiled, "Germans believe that being able to withstand the test of the peak is true love, if in the process of climbing the peak, you meet someone who can share your hardships and hardships with you, and will not leave you in any danger, is the person you can trust and can accompany you through your life, and the highest marriage registry office and church have been set up here, just to facilitate young people and those mountaineering enthusiasts to witness their love." ”

"Sounds romantic!"

"Of course, if you have any sweethearts, you can also hold a wedding here, which is very memorable!"

"Haha, I don't even have a boyfriend, and I'm still married, Robin, don't laugh at me!"

Everyone was amused by Qu Lihua.
