Chapter 386: Laziness is a Disease

Fire extinguishing is another major function. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 The St. George's Fountain is the largest of the more than forty fountains in Rothenburg. The decoration of the fountain dates back to the Middle Ages in 1608. The annual Shepherd's Day is celebrated around him and is said to drive the plague out of Rothenburg. It was interesting when this photo was taken.

When Xueluo raised the camera, he found that there was also a camera on the opposite side who was about to shoot at Xueluo. So Xueluo and Liu Jingshu each took a step to the left with a tacit understanding, and blocked the person opposite with the stone pillar in the center of the fountain, so that they had this photo, and I would like to share the interesting story behind the photo. Europe is the birthplace of wrought iron.

Whether it is in the noisy Paris of France or in a quiet town, the dry wrought iron signs constitute a unique scenery in the street. Looking at the simple and elegant, finely crafted wrought iron signs, you will admire the exquisite skills of the craftsmen, but also deeply understand the unique artistic charm of the wrought iron signs.

Everyone who has been to Europe will feel the same way as long as they pay close attention. It is said that in the Middle Ages, there were many illiterate people, so the illustrated wrought iron signs could improve the recognition of merchants. Rothenburg's many shops, such as cafés, small restaurants, small hotels, bakeries, butchers, tailors and various small craft workshops, all have their own unique shapes.

On the one hand, the beautifully crafted wrought iron signs play a role in attracting customers and building brands, and at the same time, they also serve as the finishing touch to the decoration of the shops and neighborhoods, reflecting extraordinary taste and taste. From the colorful wrought iron signs in a small town of Rothenburg, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu can get a glimpse of the unique charm of European wrought iron. Nowadays, science and technology are highly developed today.

In Rothenburg and many old European city blocks, there is still not a single neon sign or electronic signboard, and the persistence and persistence of Europeans in the ancient style of the city is worth learning and learning from Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. Rothenburg's most famous specialty is the Chinese translation of snowball. The dough is kneaded into long strips, wrapped into balls, fried in oil, and sprinkled with powdered sugar.

Chocolate, nuts, etc. Walking in Rothenburg, you can often see it. There are many shops selling snowballs in the town, but this one is especially recommended, and there are about 23 types of snowballs, although you can eat them everywhere in Rothenburg, but there are not so many types. When I was in Rothenburg, I didn't know who the huge sculpture in the store was, and I never forgot Ludwig when I went.

That highly recognizable face. The original flavor is 2 euros a piece, and the added flavor is 3 euros a piece. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu each bought a chocolate-flavored and hazelnut-flavored chocolate, which looks like this, and it is recommended that two people buy one is enough. Really big one. Some people say that snowballs taste like shaqima. Xueluo wants to say that Shaqima is much more delicious in comparison, and the snowball is particularly hard.

Even Xueluo's favorite chocolate can't be saved, so I don't recommend it, and I don't think it's very delicious. The ancient city of Rothenburg is full of scenery, one of the small corners where the snow falls and I especially want to take pictures when I see it, the quiet and beautiful way back to the hotel to rest in the afternoon sun, the daytime itinerary "finishes" ~ Market Square.

It has been a tradition since the Middle Ages in Rothenburg to keep the city safe at night. Now, starting at 8 p.m. every night for a certain period of time, the husband wears a black robe, holds a long axe, and carries a candle lamp, and parades according to a certain route, and tourists can accompany the tour. Address: From City Hall Square Start Time: Mid-March - January 5 of the following year at 8 p.m. is an English guide.

At 9:30 a.m. is a German-speaking guide. The market square should be photographed at the suggestion of the night watchman to arrive early, and there are many onlookers watching the patrol, and it feels like tourists who have not seen it during the day have gathered at night. The night watchman would greet everyone when he first appeared, and signaled that he could come up and take a picture with him. But it's only a few around him, and he can't take pictures with everyone indefinitely.

So much so that the medieval feeling of Rothenburg in Market Square is vividly reflected in the tradition of the night watchman patrol that is still preserved. It's just that now that there are more tourists, the tour will bring some performances, and the night watchman first complains about his profession and professional tools in a subdued and frustrated drama tone, and then takes you all the way along the municipal square to the main attractions of the town.

Along the way, the story of the town from the Middle Ages, during the Seven Years' War, and the reconstruction of the town after it was almost razed to the ground in World War II and finally rebuilt with the support of people from all over the world. After listening, you can have a deeper understanding of the historical background of this city, and you can also feel the current beautiful market square On the way to Buyunlai, there is a small shop selling ceramics on the right.

Pure handmade, the roof is beautiful pink and bright blue), and the houses they fired are based on the characteristic houses of the town. Every time I pass by, I will go to see that the day and night are two completely different scenes, and the window at night is decorated with lights, which is even more unreal like a dream. The parade in the market square ends.

At night, calm returns to the town hall square. Good night, Rothenburg ~ Market Square After the last tourist bus left the market square in the evening, the yellow street lights were lit up, and the whole town exuded a magical fairy tale color, which was not there for a long time. Buyunlai is hidden in the lights of Buyunlai at night, only the wheels of the car press over the stone road and the camera shutter.

The silence of the remote control now looks like a dream. This medieval town has returned to its original self after the hustle and bustle of the day. For Snowfall and Liu Jingshu, today is a day of deep immersion and medieval atmosphere, while for Rothenburg, it is just a normal day, from the first light of the morning to the fall of night.

After a hundred years of sun and moon changes, she has always been here, and has not changed. The ancient city wall refers to the wall of the ancient city of Rothenburg in the upper reaches of the Tauber River, which is built with plank roads and surrounds the entire castle. In the Middle Ages, it was used to allow soldiers and citizens to reach the gaps in the city walls and pour hot asphalt and other water, so that the besieging enemies could retreat.

Today, this boardwalk has become the best walking passage to see the entire ancient city. The complete wall that surrounds the town is 35 kilometers long, 25 of which are open to visitors. If you have time and stamina, you can walk around the wall, which will make you understand how important it was for people in the Middle Ages to defend their territory. There are also gates and towers between the walls.

These include the oldest north gate, the Marcusta on the arch, the hospital gate with fortifications on the south side, the Hebs gate next to Buyunlai on the most beautiful street corner, the castle gate leading to the castle garden, etc., all have their own characteristics. Yesterday I walked around the ancient city for a day, and today I look at the ancient city from a different angle, and I feel that the snow is falling and Liu Jingshu is waiting for the gate of Rhodes City from the door of the hotel to climb the city wall.

Begin a tour of the ancient city walls and leave until you can no longer walk ahead. Later, I learned that the 25 kilometers open to tourists were not continuous, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked through the Rhodes City Gate for a period of experience, thinking that it was a more classic section. The ancient city walls of Europe are very different in appearance from the ancient walls of the Dragon Kingdom.

But the function is to defend against foreign enemies and defend their homeland, which is surprisingly consistent with the ideas of the ancients at home and abroad. The wooden fences, the raised stone walls, and even the ground are uneven, all showing the traces of time and the vicissitudes of thousands of sails. Compared with the colorful fairy tale cottages in the ancient city, it is not romantic, but it is a good place to be nostalgic by the railing.

With the guidance of the city wall, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu gradually moved away from the center, and the whole world was immediately quiet, only the ancient stones quietly accompanied Xueluo and Liu Jingshu. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu didn't even dare to talk loudly, for fear of breaking the peace and beauty in front of them. Looking out through the gap in the city wall, the back garden of a family.

The children here have a children's paradise of such a scale since they were young, and there is such a large space to run and play, and Xueluo and the two are envious of the children at home. The walls were partially damaged during the war, but have been repaired through donations from people from all over the world. Walking around the city walls, you can see the names of many donors engraved on them, many countries have them.

Most of them are Japanese. It is said that in the 80s of the last century, at the peak of Japan's economic prosperity, Japan used humanitarian care such as aiding compatriots during World War II ~ to meet the psychological needs of people when the economy was developing day by day. Many of the Japanese who came to Germany's aid later stayed in Germany and stayed in Rothenburg. That's why Rothenburg is such a small place.

There are many reasons for Japanese restaurants. A cottage that many people who go up to the city wall will photograph, a classic German-style wooden bar house, a red tile spire, and a flower well, which is extremely romantic. When I climbed the city wall, I realized that the place where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu parked the car for two days turned out to be next to this "Best Photogenic Award" hut. Look, sometimes if you don't change the angle, you can't find the beauty around you at all.

That day there was a violent storm, and Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu were frozen on the half-open city wall, so they didn't have the willpower to experience the other sections of the city wall, so they planned to leave Rothenburg early. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu have seen the sunny and rainy days, morning and dusk, and rare starry sky in this town, and they have no regrets. I was a little reluctant before leaving, so I had to comfort myself.

There's more to it than that. 【Some others in Rothenburg】First, eat Rothenburg is a small town dominated by tourism, and there is absolutely no need to worry about eating. Classic Bavarian and Italian cuisine, as well as Western-style snacks, Chinese and Japanese cuisine can be found here. But in such an old town, Bavarian cuisine is the most recommended, and the food is traditional.

In addition to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, a few of the more famous restaurants are: one of the most popular restaurants in Rothenburg, which is at the top of the rankings, is an authentic local restaurant with a sense of history in a traditional German old building. : A medieval-style tavern with a philosophy of slow food, located in the oldest surviving building in the town.

Its history dates back to 900 AD. : This is a restaurant that is ranked 6th in the list, and the environment and service are excellent. : Very good Italian restaurant, delicious and inexpensive, shopping Rothenburg has a lot of things to buy, you can buy teddy bears, buy all kinds of fun Christmas trees and gifts in the Christmas market, and you can also buy German cottages.

It is especially recommended to go to the right on the road to Buyunlai, their website: -, is more expensive than the general one, at least 30 euros, but they are all handmade, and each house has a prototype, very interesting. 3. Parking Xueluo and Liu Jingshu parked in the parking spaces provided by the hotel, but there are still a lot of public parking spaces in Rothenburg.

Passing by, you can directly navigate to the cathedral, or, when you are about to arrive, there are many road signs, just find a stop. For example, the road in front of the Christmas market can be parked on both sides of the street, and the location is perfect for leaving after a tour. Some of these roadside shops will put up signs saying that they can only stop for 1 hour from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

But if it's after 18 o'clock, it doesn't matter. 4. The medieval pearl [Rothenburg-] Distance: 50 Route: 7 - 25 Time: 45 It should be noted that there is a road under construction around, which happens to be the only way to navigate the instructions. So Xueluo and Liu Jingshu went around the city in a circle, and then they turned to save the country and entered the ancient city through the east gate.

Those who go to the ancient city should be prepared for a town in Bavaria, Germany, 50 kilometers south of Rothenburg. The town is peaceful and serene. Strolling through the streets and browsing the surrounding shops, a lazy afternoon becomes very pleasant. The city can still be accessed from one of the four gates, and the old city, which has preserved its historical features, has intact walls.

Like Rothenburg, it was also fought back and forth between Protestantism and Catholicism, but the 30 years of war and the world war did little damage to him, but the economic depression after the war preserved the medieval style. So, this place is arguably the most quaint place on the romantic road, a true recreation of the medieval landscape. Didn't drive directly to the front of the cathedral.

Seeing that there was a spot on the street, I turned in and stopped. Later, when I came to the front of the cathedral and saw that it was full, I was very glad that I didn't go around in circles. The street name is β, and the building behind the sign is a monastery called the monastery, which is very close to St. George's Cathedral in the center of the town, and it is also easy to stop here. In addition, it is the same parking space as in front of the cathedral, free for one hour.

Remember to take the parking card given by the car rental company, set up the windshield and leave before leaving. Wait until the 1 hour is up, and if you want to continue playing, come back and reset it. The town is not big, 1-2 hours is enough. It's the heart of the town and the cathedral is in the back of the photos. The five buildings in front of you are also business cards.

The first with a domed tower was the "Inn", which hosted the Imperial King Karl V in 1546 and the King of Sweden (1632). It has a unique stepped gable next to it. Further on, the red half-timbered structure is the famous "German House", which is indeed the most beautiful combination of late Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

And now it is also a very delicious Michelin recommended restaurant. Past the gables with curls and small obelisks, the long building was '', which was once a grain storehouse and trading place. Perhaps it was due to the rainy weather, the originally colorful huts looked softer than before in the middle of the weather, and the appearance of horse-drawn carriages made it.

It's more like a "living medieval town", and those interested can get on a horse-drawn carriage and cruise around the town. The price is not expensive, it looks like 10 or 20 euros per person. But Snowfall prefers to keep a distance to admire the feeling of the carriage town in the same picture, St. George's Cathedral [St. George's Cathedral] stands guard in the heart of the town.
