Chapter 382: Behind the Lantern
The first turnstile takes the card, the second turnstile plugs the card, you don't need to pay, [Frankfurt-] distance: 123 time: 3 routes: Germany out of the airport is 3 highway, the first time to drive the car to the German highway, all kinds of excitement legend no speed limit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info is better to open 160 or 180?
The fact is that the day out of the airport met the Friday evening rush hour, Germans love to play is famous, all kinds of station wagons on the highway are ready to go out for vacation and also encountered road repair, and later learned that it is too common to repair roads and houses in Germany ~ So, what is not the speed limit, 80 yards can not run ~ Many sections of the map directly prompt red.
Sometimes I even need to stop and queue up for the first time driving abroad in Germany, I don't know if Dai Xiansen is nervous, and the snow is quite nervous. Snowfall is a Taurus who is prone to worrying about various things. Germany [German high-speed experience] Even if there is a traffic jam, everyone queues up in turn, and there is no way to grab the road, which is very orderly, so although it is blocked.
There is also no waste of time, and the Germans have a true love for station wagons and have a special persistent feeling. I have seen the domestic unlucky, , and other versions of the station wagon vacation standard is a station wagon towing an RV, I envy the RV is the family standard national station wagon hanging a variety of outdoor sports equipment, such as bicycles, kayaks, and I have seen two horses towed.
Stunned snow falls. The vegetation coverage on both sides of the highway is close to saturation (especially on the plane) Oh, and the Black Forest is really black After Germany opened the national highway, a fairytale German town passed by with snow falling and Liu Jingshu, because it was the first day to arrive, every time I saw it, I excitedly picked up the camera and patted it, and then I was aesthetically tired in the next few days, and I was particularly calm.
Germany is accustomed to the beautiful scenery and feels that the decision to choose the romantic road by car is extremely correct! The German automobile industry is developed, and the Germans love to drive. There are many well-known self-driving routes in the country, such as the Vacation Road, the Fairy Tale Road, the Castle Road, etc.
Among them, the most famous is the romantic road that Xueluo and Liu Jingshu will take next. From the vineyards to the foothills of the Alps, almost 400 kilometers of romantic roads. It attracts two million visitors every year. This makes it one of Germany's leading holiday destinations in terms of popularity.
The route runs through southern Germany and blends the region's historical and cultural landscapes, passing through Franken, the northern tip of Baden-Württemberg, and then descending into the Bavarian hinterland to Ludwig's dream castle. The romantic north-south route runs through western Bavaria, starting in and ending in the border town of Füssen.
It passes through more than twenty towns, including Rothenburg on the upper reaches of the Tauber, Nadlingen, etc. Life Hotel followed the navigation smoothly to the hotel's parking lot, 1 and a half hours of driving snow and Liu Jingshu drove for nearly 3 hours, road traffic jam is a factor, rain and road slippery is a factor, snow fall guide wrong road is also a factor.
(Introspection) parking fee: 9 euros/full day This price of parking fees is moderate in Germany, and later converted into RMB, or spit old blood in my heart. The procedures at the Grand Hotel are very fast, and the Germans speak English as well as the legend says. The room was modern, with clean lines, and it was a basic room type, so I didn't live on a high floor.
Otherwise, the feeling of overlooking the old city must be great, and the life hotel finished the luggage to the meal, opened TripAdvisor and searched, the more famous, the more popular several are concentrated near the Main Bridge, almost the farthest distance planned to walk tomorrow.
When I looked at the distance from the field, it was just over 1 kilometer, and then I thought that the distance of walking after dinner in the evening was several times that of this, put on a jacket and a camera, and walked!
It is close to the state of Baden-Württemberg in the west and is the starting point on the northern side of the Romantic Road. The river Main flows through the old town, with its 15th-century old bridge and castle fortress by the river. On the other side of the Main, there are palaces, churches, town halls and other buildings.
But these ancient buildings have all experienced the catastrophe of World War II, and it is the efforts of the people that have made the old as old and rejuvenated. The old town is small enough to be explored on foot, and there are many vibrant small and medium-sized enterprises in the area, and the university has a history of more than 500 years, especially for its medical department.
Today, it is a city full of life. Whether on the hill of the castle fortress or in the surrounding countryside, there are large vineyards. Playing an important role in the Franconian wine industry, don't forget to sample the local wines, and why choose to be the first stop on the tour?
One is that it is close to Frankfurt, so it is convenient to arrive by car after getting off the plane, and there is no need to waste time staying in Frankfurt, and the second is that it is the starting point of the romantic road, which alone is enough to make people look forward to it, and the third is that this trip has no chance to the Czech Republic, and the red roof also has the reputation of "small".
Xueluo and Liu Jingshu, who came from the magic capital, suddenly switched from early autumn mode to late autumn mode, wearing a thin windbreaker and walking on the streets at night, but still couldn't resist the cold. Strange country, strange city, strange street, strange crowd but - familiar people around you, familiar voices in your ears, familiar cameras on your shoulders.
The familiar map interface on the mobile phone, even if you are in this small city 8,000 kilometers away, the snow falls is also very reassuring, the more you travel, the more you will learn to be at peace in a different place, calm and calm, it is really small, walking and chatting to the chapel of Our Lady at night in the market square in the central area.
And the obelisk glowing with a cold light under the 360-degree European-style buildings in the square, once in a trance once felt that Europe was particularly far away, but now in her arms thanks, for Xueluo to complete the dream of the ceremony of the reality of the dinner, but also the first meal in Germany, chosen. Restaurants are in the city center, relatively easy to find, and the service and environment are great.
You can sit indoors or in the garden during your meal. Next to it is the government office. The people who came were all locals, and I saw a lot of German elders coming here to gather. The street is very cold, as soon as you enter the room, it is warm, everyone eats and laughs softly, and the waiter politely brings the menu, everything feels good!
The restaurant that bears the name can be seen in many towns, such as the later one, the Town Hall Cellar Restaurant. This kind of restaurant, located in the basement of the old town hall, has a long history and serves traditional German cuisine, and is a good place to pursue traditional German culture.
Illustrated and illustrated, they usually only have two or three pieces of paper, cuisine, category are relatively single, since they came to Germany, how can they not order beer, the first beer in Germany, according to Dai Xiansen, is very different from the domestic one, more mellow, and even sweeter some snow fall alcohol allergy, and do not like to drink, all the way juice coffee also tastes.
1) When dining in Germany, it would be polite to sit down and order your own drink and then take your time to look at the main course dessert 2) If the main course requires it, generously say to the waiter and they will give you an extra plate. 3) The amount of main dishes such as roasted pork knuckle is very large, and it is not enough for two big stomachs to order one serving.
Some salads and soups will be more appropriate. Dai Xiansen's steak is a super large and thick piece, which is very flavorful. Tin foil wrapped in a large baked potato, very rough practice in the end of the flood did not eat the potato, the German restaurant is so large that it is smacking after a long flight, the appetite is average, I don't want to eat pork and beef, so Xueluo chose grilled chicken steak as the main dish.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the chicken breast is juicy, and this dish left a good impression on Xueluo at this restaurant, and the side dish is fried potato balls, which can be seen how much Germans love potatoes. Of course, in the end, I didn't finish a series of travel "hard" tasks such as entering customs, picking up the car, the first experience of driving in a foreign country, finding parking lots, hotels, etc.
After the successful completion of one by one, the state of mind was very relaxed, and all the burdens in my heart were relieved, so that I had such a special dinner. Everything is as expected, it's good!2, the beauty of the old time2 - the cathedral - the new Münster church - the chapel of Our Lady - the old Main Bridge - Marion Castle (Marienberg Fortress).
- Rothenburg's Old Town is small enough to explore on foot. So Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's route for the day is very simple, starting from the hotel, visiting an official residence + three churches on the east bank of the Main River (in the old city) in the morning, walking back to the hotel after lunch, picking up the car, driving to the Marienberg Fortress, and going to Rothenburg after the end of the morning, you can click on the big picture early in the morning, the alarm clock set last night has not yet been remembered.
When the snow falls, I wake up from my sleep. The unfamiliar air reminds the body of the snowfall, and the snowfall has landed at the beginning of the romantic road. After looking at the time, it was only 6 o'clock, and it was not bright outside the window. I don't know if it's chicken blood or jet lag, so that a person who loves to sleep becomes so industrious when he arrives on the journey. After washing up and going out, the genius at half past seven in the morning is really bright.
As soon as the rain stopped, there was a chill in the air. In the early morning deserted streets, Xue Luo and Liu Jingshu finally saw the city that was mostly hidden by the night last night. Unknown streets, buildings and crevices can be met with church spires of different shapes, suggesting that the city has a title of "small" in addition to being "small".
It is also known as the "City of Churches". Baroque, Gothic, and Romanesque spires are like European-style buildings, and they are all precious historical relics that have passed through hundreds of years. At half o'clock and on the hour, the bells of the cathedrals throughout the city rang in unison, and as I walked, I felt a little more awe and piety in my heart.
The pace is slow, and there are only dog walkers and runners in the morning. Xueluo and Dai Xiansen were not in a hurry to eat breakfast, they walked all the way, watched and photographed all the way, looking at the city that had just woken up from the morning light from all angles. Walking distance from the hotel to the market square, it is a small road lined with shops, small shops, bakeries, cafes.
Most of the small bars are still in the state. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu commented on the windows they passed by twice with great interest, and always thought that Europe was so fashionable, "old" for example, the style of the windows was similar to that of the magic capital in the 90s of the last century, but the shopping decorated it with obvious thoughts, it was really a small town living in the old times.
Xueluo was very interested in the church in the background of the photo, it was the first church Xueluo and Liu Jingshu saw in the local area, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu were amazed at the time, such a church is even more majestic in a small town. After returning and comparing the photos taken, although the Cathedral and the Neu-Münster Church also have similar Baroque domes.
But the details are slightly different. Later, I took the panoramic photos taken on the Marienberg Fortress and went to the Internet to check it, and I learned that the real name of this church is Hauge Church, also called St. John's Church, Baroque style, the dome is 60 meters high, and organ concerts are often held. However, its name is hardly mentioned on the websites of several major domestic travel guides.
There is no record of it. I don't know if there are any friends who are as interested as Xueluo and Liu Jingshu to go and find out? Forever blooming flowers, ingenious wall murals and paintings, intricate and exquisite wrought iron signs, and full of vehicles parked on both sides of the road.
It is a depiction of the street, and it is also an abbreviation for the street of a German town. Very recommend the breakfast at this bakery, a cup of coffee + a loaf or sandwich in Germany is standard for breakfast. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu bought a meal and sat in the last empty seat in the store until Xueluo and Liu Jingshu finished eating and left.
The other guests who arrived earlier were still talking and laughing and chatting over coffee, and none of them left. Xueluo, who was in a hurry, and Liu Jingshu were particularly envious of such an unhurried and unhurried state of life. The first cup of coffee in Germany was very fragrant, in fact, as soon as I entered the bakery, I smelled the warm aroma of coffee, and I guessed that the coffee here must not be bad.
That's true. In Germany, you can drink a cup of coffee for 2-3 euros (except for those century-old café signature coffees), breakfast for two people is mostly around 10 euros, meals are 20-30 euros, and some classic old restaurants may be more expensive, 50-60 euros a meal. Prices in Germany are relatively low compared to France, Italy, and Switzerland.
Coffee, in particular, is really cheap and good. On the way to the residence, there was the back door of a certain church, and it was later learned that this was the legendary Cathedral Church, also known as the Cathedral of St. Kylyan. In many European cities, cathedrals, town halls, and market squares are common words.
The historical and cultural city of Germany belongs to the state of Bavaria, which was once part of the Kingdom of Bavaria and the hometown of Princess Sissi. At that time, the archbishop had a lot of power and actually became a prince who controlled the area, so he was called "the bishop's prince". The bishops and princes lived for hundreds of years in Marienburg, across the River Main.
Those silent loneliness, those traces of history that have dried up, are the most beautiful stories, the most silent brilliance. Always able to inadvertently, is to impress our own love, our love.
