Chapter 453: Munot

Munot, a medieval fortress castle with a round shape, was built with great effort by the citizens of Schaffhausen, and it is also a landmark of the city, with the cathedral, the abbey and the monastic gardens in the area, and the monastery complex is now the Museum of All Saints.

Qu Lihua's feeling when she came to Europe is that these countries have similarities, there are castles, which are bigger than the current villas, and the nobles like to build castles, the houses are big, which can show the noble status, and there are also large gardens, and they build gardens, and they will use European style to let the gardeners build the gardens neatly and cleanly, and there are fountains as decorations.

If you have more music, it will be more artistic, and if you get some oil paintings, the mood will be up.

The busiest and most widely used square in Schaffhausen in the heart of the pedestrian zone, Franva Square has two historic fountains, restored and painted in the eighties of the 19th century in accordance with the original historical tradition, the four-eyed "Servant Fountain" directly in front of Franva Square and the Moorish Fountain opposite the field.

Qu Lihua is already very familiar with such architectural features, and Europe likes to use a fountain to decorate it, they think it is very smart, and Xia Yuxiang took everyone to the square to have a look.

Henak Square, the largest square in the city, has had a weekly market for centuries, as well as art performances and entertainment, and with the popularity of motor vehicles, the market gradually gave way to parking lots, and then the proposal for an underground garage was proposed.

Meng Wenjie said: "It's quite lively here, they also have a lot of art performances, and I found that the Swiss also like to go out shopping and watch performances. ”

Head Xia Yuxiang smiled, "Yes, people like to come out for entertainment, always stay at home, they will feel bored, they always want to come out, go shopping, and join in the fun." ”

The newly designed traffic-free plaza was handed over to the public, and now it is also the venue for many concerts, and Switzerland also likes concerts, listening to opera, you will feel super temperamental, and listening to concerts will also feel very artistic.

Located between the Lower Town and Shrivland, a direct link from the old town of Schaffhausen to the Rhine, the square is surrounded by two historic buildings of Gutthof and Schweizhehof, which together with the salt works along the upper reaches of the river are the last testimonies of Schaffhausen's centuries-old salt industry.

Xia Yuxiang said: "There are still traditional industries here, hundreds of years of salt industry development to the present, human beings still need these traditional industries, not to say that they have found modern industry, there is no need for traditional industry, traditional industry has been developed in Switzerland for hundreds of years, has laid the foundation, and there are many traditional industries developed so far." ”

Everyone followed the head of Xia Yuxiang to visit, and then followed the head of Xia Yuxiang to visit the park.

Founded by the German landscape gardener Johann Michael Zeyer, the complex is a mixture of landscape gardens and structurally rigorous baroque gardens, the longitudinal axis of which terminates at the edge of the historic quarry Owiv, where an observation deck is built. In the Middle Ages, the quarry was a supplier of building materials for many of the city's real estate, including the aforementioned city landmark Munot, a quarry filled with excavated materials and an observation deck with views of the Rhine, wooded hills and the Alps.

Come here to relax, it's particularly good, come and see the scenery, the scenery of Switzerland is still very beautiful, lush trees, looking hills, the natural scenery of the Alps, attracting a lot of tourists to come here for sightseeing, the climate is not hot or cold, this time is just right.

Head Xia Yuxiang said: "There are still a lot of attractions here, I'll take you to take a look, and I'll introduce them to you!"

"Okay, we all trust Captain Xia, follow Captain Xia, that's right!"

The Rhine Falls, located in the cities of Neuhausen and Laufen-Uwisen on the Rhine, a few kilometres upstream from Schaffhausen, is the most flowing waterfall in Europe.

Due to the abundance of water, there has been a hydroelectric power plant here since the 19th century, thanks to which the supply of electricity has allowed the industrialization of nearby Schaffhausen.

Xia Yuxiang said: "Just now I also mentioned the importance of the development of traditional industries, hydroelectric power, the construction of power plants, is also very important, Switzerland still has a lot of people who use electricity, human beings can not do without electricity, if there is no electricity, the lights at home can not be lit, the rice cooker can not be used, the electric kettle can not boil water, the computer also needs to be plugged in, and the mobile phone can not be charged." ”

"Can you imagine living without electricity?"

Meng Wenjie said: "We have been to Pakistan before, and the local residents told us that there were frequent power outages in the past, and they felt that life was very inconvenient, but then China went to support and sent engineers to help them build the power plant, which improved the situation of frequent power outages before, and with electricity, life is much more convenient." ”

"Yes, it's hard for me to imagine what my life would be like without electricity, I think electricity and the Internet are so important to me that I can't live without this modern life every day. ”

The waterfall has two rocks that must be reached by boat, one of which has a staircase and a fireworks display on holidays.

Qu Lihua said: "Looking at the waterfall, I am still in a good mood, I can feel some coolness, the water splashes, and it is also very good to take pictures!"

Meng Wenjie nodded, "Yes, the natural landscape is very good!"

For a view of the Alps and the Black Forest, visitors can choose to visit the Mehlishausen Lookout, the Highland Tower in Briringen, the Highland Tower in Schreitheim and the Highland Tower in Bellingen.

In the south, the tower is located in the Flöhringen area of Zurich and is located on the Kolfest ridge.

Between the river bridge and the power station, the Liba Causeway sits the public Rhine baths, which Johann Gottfried Meyer built in the shape of a retrograde boat.

The largest surviving box bath in Switzerland, this bath was originally built in the Rhine and can only be accessed by two narrow boardwalks, which were later connected to the riverside walkway.

The baths are built on hanging piles and are divided into different areas, the upper area is ideal for non-swimmers because of the floor, while there is a three-meter jump, while the women's section is shorter, the water level can always be consistent thanks to the dam upstream, but the flow rate varies with the amount of water.

Xia Yuxiang took everyone to experience it, which is also very interesting, he advocated seeing the scenic spots, let everyone feel it for themselves, and the impression will be more profound.
