Chapter 372: Divine Lord
Because, the castle is a must-go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoThe total amount of walking in a month is not as much as in these two days, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu unanimously decided to take the Bergbahn cable car up. Cable car tickets are really expensive, there are several, including one-way, two-way, with tickets, without tickets, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu chose the cheapest, a person is not 8 euros forgot.
However, the distance is too short, and you will arrive as soon as you sit down. It is a damaged castle with a red sandstone color, and the castle courtyard and terrace are free to visit and have a nice view. In the end, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu still bought tickets and entered the castle again. The small casks inside the castle were not photographed, and they were a full circle larger than the small casks, with a capacity of 2.28 million liters.
It is the largest cask in the world. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu circled around the barrel along the stairs next to the barrel. There is also a German Drug Museum in the castle, on the right hand side of the square in the middle of the castle gate, the sign is not very obvious, and even the door is hidden. No photos are allowed inside, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu obediently didn't take pictures.
It shows the history of the development of Western pharmacology, whether it is medicine or furnishings, there is a bit of traditional Chinese medicine, just looking at the furnishings make people feel that pharmacy is not so boring, but quite interesting. The outlet is a small shop selling handmade soaps, incense packets and the like. After walking around, I found a path down the hill from the terrace.
As the sun sets, I am reluctant to leave. Stuttgart, the sparkling antique car built in 950 AD, is destined to be inextricably linked to power and motors, and it is also the capital of Baden-Württemberg. The HotelSpahr that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu chose is a family-run hotel with elegant rooms and a hearty breakfast.
It is also only 2 km away from the Mercedes Museum, which is an ideal place to stay. Stuttgart loves Ashkenashi breakfast so much that it can eat itself every time. The Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart is closed from Tuesday to Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 16:00 p.m. and closed on Mondays. This is a field that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are looking forward to.
There are many German car museums, and there are many places to Stuttgart, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, and BMW World. Out of love for Mercedes-Benz, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu came here. At the end of September, Fuzhou was still in the 30s, and the maple leaves at the entrance of the Mercedes-Benz Museum had turned red.
The ticket price is 8 euros per person, all bags must be stored, and the storage office is on the right hand side of the ticket office. Once you've saved your bag, enter through one of the entrances, and the staff will provide you with an audio guide in the relevant language, then take the capsule-style elevator to the top floor for a tour from the top.
The first time to use this kind of voice navigation, it is very convenient, there will be a black switch sign on the sign next to each car, as long as the antenna of the interpreter is aimed at the sign, and the button in the middle of the explainer is pressed, you can receive the explanation signal and understand the story of each car. With the docent, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu began their journey of discovery at the Mercedes-Benz Museum.
Classic cars of various shapes and different purposes of Daben cars, buses, trailers, fire trucks, police cars, engineering vehicles, snow plows, large trucks. Mercedes-Benz, do you want to take it all? Unfortunately, I couldn't find the SMART show car, 5555. Let's make up the number of models, this is estimated to be the smallest model car, there is an interactive project worth experiencing at the end of the visit, 2 euros per person.
You can get into a simulated car cabin and experience all the things Mercedes racing, including 200 meters of acceleration, which is quite exciting! Liu Jingshu made a few stitching of the front of the Mercedes-Benz. The basement floor of the museum is home to a concept car model exhibition center, an interactive area for children, a souvenir shop, a car sales and a restaurant.
I saw the new SMART of Simen here, which was not yet available in Dragon Country at that time. There are a lot of SMART in Europe, even more in Germany, there are also a lot of four-seaters, you can see them everywhere, I don't know if it is the reason for the audience, most of the domestic SMART owners are young people, pursuing the expression of personality, and the car will do some modifications and personality decorations.
But most of the Germans are very low-key. Haha, it's different in the base camp of Mercedes-Benz, and it's so cute to see several classic cars in the parking lot. 3 hours is not enough to visit Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are not brand control, but German goods are exceptions, for this reason, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu specially arranged half a day of shopping (in fact, Xueluo strongly requested) shopping.
The location is the Boutique Village of Metzingen, 60 kilometres from Stuttgart. It's an hour's drive from Stuttgart to Metzingen, and the scenery along the way is endless, with Snow Falling and Liu Jingshu staying on the road for a while. I found a small garden and took a few portrait photos of autumn. On the way, I turned around and went to the supermarket to buy some fruits, bread and milk.
The first thing Metzingen does when you arrive in Metzingen is to find a visitor center. Since I saw on the official Weibo of the "German National Tourism Administration" in advance that Metzingen arranged a "Golden Week shopping" discount activity for Chinese people during the National Day, many brands can be discounted. (I heard that I have been doing Christmas season promotions recently) Xueluo and Liu Jingshu filled out a form.
The staff took a trifold sheet and wrote the name of Xueluo, and the formalities were complete. The card lists the merchants who participated in the discount on the discount event, and the cheapest is a 6% discount on the discount. There are many brands of Metzingen, so you can go shopping for a day. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, who did not have a purchasing task, first found the star store - BOSS.
Remember before departure, the German enterprise elite stone children's shoes are recommended: be sure to go to the BOSS store! After the suit is discounted, the tax refund is only more than 1,800 yuan. Later, Metzingen Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went to a few more stores, and they all bought good things, and the prices were much cheaper than in China.
It was almost dark, and Liu Jingshu kept urging her to hurry up, but the snow was still unfinished. Dear friends, if you are interested in shopping with Maichen, it is recommended to come early and leave more time to shop slowly. For more information on the Village's offers, please keep an eye on the official website of the German National Tourism Board, and the Village of Metzingen also has a dedicated website.
Live a day of fairy tale life "Grimm's Fairy Tales" has accompanied Xueluo from elementary school to the present, from picture books, text books to cartoons to Disney animated movies to various adaptations of big movies, the most impressive is Japan's "Grimm's Fairy Tale Theater" (this time I came back and turned it out from the video website and watched it again, the theme songIt's super nice).
The story of beauty defeating ugliness, diligence defeating laziness, goodness defeating insidiousness, justice defeating evil, beautiful heroines, fresh and realistic painting style and various charming forest, town, and castle scenes are all fascinating. At this moment, standing in front of the Rothenburg gate, the yellow street lamps are reflected on the ancient city walls, exuding an incredible magical charm.
There is an illusion of time and space: this must be the gateway to the fairy tale world. Rothenburg is a town not to be missed on the romantic road and is one of the most heavily protected monuments in Germany. With the darkness of the night, with the dim street lights, the surroundings are very quiet.
Hearing only the click of shoes on the cobblestones that had been polished, Liu Jingshu kept the camera in her hand, stopped and stopped, and when she arrived at the market square, it was already half past nine. The square is crowded with tourists, restaurants are closing, shops are closed, and only the elaborately decorated windows give off a dreamy glow.
The snow has been intoxicated by the scenery in the window, admiring, admiring, and obsessed all the way, and unconsciously came to Buyunlai. It was already late, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu did not continue walking, and returned to the market square. Just happened to come across a night watchman in black robes carrying lanterns, and the tourists in the square quickly gathered around him.
He stood up the steps and said something loudly, and the people around him let out a happy laugh, but he couldn't understand German and couldn't appreciate the fun, and Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu returned to the hotel to rest. Due to the late booking, the hotel in the city was fully booked, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu booked at the Hotel KlingentorGarni.
Just 100 meters away from the city gate, it is a garden villa with a bit of history, and the car is parked in the small garden. Although it was very late when I arrived, the owner of the house, a very kind old man, was still waiting for Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, helping Xueluo and Liu Jingshu carry their luggage, sending Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to the room, and introducing the tourist route to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.
Attractions and breakfast spots, etc., made Xueluo and Liu Jingshu super moved. At six o'clock the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, he was woken up by Liu Jingshu, who wanted to shoot the morning light. Rothenburg is a popular attraction, and it is quieter to go early when you think of the crowds of domestic attractions. In Bavaria at the end of September, the average daily temperature is only 17 or 8 degrees.
It was only about 13 degrees in the morning, and this time the clothes were prepared very badly, and I only brought a pair of pants, and the skirts were all thin (making you stink~), so I gritted my teeth and went out. The plan in the morning is to find a high point along the city wall to take a panoramic view of the town, then go back to the hotel for breakfast, check out, and then return to the town to visit, and drive back to the hotel at noon to drive to the next stop.
Rothenburg in the early morning has a different temperament from the night, and the yellow light shines from the flower windows of the houses on both sides of the street, and you can see that the owner of the house is preparing a hearty breakfast, which is warm and beautiful. Along the way, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu met a mother and son who asked for directions, and a group of tourists who went out for a walk and took pictures like Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.
There are also two aunts who are jogging on the city wall in the morning (if you are a tourist, I really admire their drive to run all over the world!), without exception, they are both from the Dragon Country, hehe, so kind. After looking at the map, there were several towers on the city wall, but they didn't know which ones could go up, so Xueluo and Liu Jingshu looked for the root of the wall, hoping to find a suitable shooting angle.
Unconsciously came to Buyunlai again. Leaving Buyunlai, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu continued to walk towards the city wall, and their eyes were open. It was also from here that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu opened the fast-walking mode of the city wall. There is a hot air balloon in the distance, but unfortunately it is too far away to be noticeable. Walking on the city walls, the elaborate arrangement of the houses of the locals, the flowers on the windowsills.
The children's toys in the yard and the fruit on the branches of the trees in the garden are clear at a glance. In short, full of joy of life. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find a tower to climb up to most of the city walls. After taking a walk, we returned to the hotel where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu lived. Already hungry, I went to the restaurant and found that each table was filled with a different national flag.
United States, United Kingdom, Italy, Japan...... It turned out that the breakfast was a catering system, and the landlord used the national flag to arrange the seats, which was very witty. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were arranged in the seats of another room, there was no national flag on the table, it was strange, I found that the seat of the national flag of the Dragon Country was full, and I actually met the mother and son who asked for directions, hehe, it was so fateful.
Enjoying a hearty breakfast in the sun room, the mood is inexplicably brighter, and the happy life in the fairy tale is nothing more than that. After leaving the room, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu prepared to enter the city for the third time. When checking out, in order to thank the old man for his considerate service last night, Liu Jingshu gave him a few bubbles of Tieguanyin, and also wrote a small note to teach him how to brew.
I heard that the old man was also very moved. On the way, he picked up a pigeon feather and stuck it in his hat, and Hans possessed him with silly music. In the morning, there were obviously more tourists, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's first stop was the most lively market square. The square is bustling with vendors selling their wines, homemade cheeses, a variety of fruits and vegetables, bread and more.
Most of the people who bought it were locals. The town hall on the market square was completed in the Renaissance and was built in the Gothic style. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu followed the crowd on the road to the tower. Climb the tower, and then climb this one with only 220 steps, easily. Unlike other towers, this one has a toll office at the top.
In particular, the last step to climb the tower was to climb a 90-degree simple staircase, yes, wooden, a simple carpentry ladder with two poles, and the exit was very small, Liu Jingshu was stuck in the hole with a large backpack on her back. On that day, although Xueluo was wearing a skirt and high heels, he still bravely climbed up.
From the top of the tower, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the entire city and the Tauber Valley. However, the viewing platform is very narrow, and everyone consciously moves in one direction, because it is really impossible to measure the body if you want to have an intersection. It's very windy up there, and when the snow falls, it's always worried that the camera or phone will accidentally fall. When he came downstairs, he met a Chinese Ma Ma with her three-year-old son upstairs.
The little one crawls on his own the whole time. I was so envious that I returned to the market square, where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu sat on the steps of the city hall and enjoyed a leisurely time with a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice. The building perpendicular to the town hall is the tourist office building, whose puppet clock is a daily reminder of the legend of Rothenburg. In 1631, the "Thirty Years' War", a war between Catholics and Protestants, spread to Rothenburg.
Catholic leaders led a 60,000-strong siege of Rothenburg, forced the inhabitants to surrender, and the mayor and other high-ranking government officials were arrested and sentenced to death. Then. The Rothenburg City Council presented the Catholic leader with a huge glass of wine, and after a sip or two, the leader had a whim: if anyone dares to come up and drink this glass of wine in one gulp.
