1521 Melancholy
But the characters are reproduced vividly, which makes other children and even adults laugh out loud with interest.↑, this second oldest small town in Germany is filled with a rich and heavy historical atmosphere everywhere on the streets. Walking through the long river of history, you can feel that every inch of its land is telling a story of an ancient legend.
The trip to the town was very pleasant, and time passed quietly without realizing it. Continue walking on the streets and alleys, looking for an elegantly decorated restaurant on the roadside, enjoy a simple and delicious dinner, and reminiscing about the joy and romance of the town. As night gradually descends, the buildings are more dazzling and charming by the lights that are gradually lit up.
In the charming night, it is even more unforgettable to admire the iconic landscape of this small town. Walking on the streets full of rich historical atmosphere and beautiful lights, you will definitely have a deeper familiarity and understanding of the city you first met. With the elegant night, you will stroll on the quaint streets, the first on the road to ancient Roman ruins.
It is in this romantic and elegant atmosphere that it is perfectly finished. Leave Augsburg, the second old town in Germany, and take the train to the next destination. For centuries, the cradle of countless great writers and thinkers, the historical city of Heidelberg. This is one of the most famous castle ruins in the world.
Germany's oldest university, nine Nobel Prize winners, is a place loved by many writers and philosophers from Goethe to Mark Twain. It is a vibrant cultural city, a famous university and science center, a picturesque natural scenery, and a warm climate comparable to the Mediterranean. These are all characteristics of Heidelberg.
There is almost no other German city with more appeal than here. This ancient city on the banks of the Neckar River is filled with romantic atmosphere, warmly revered by poets and painters and countless singing. The history has almost not changed for hundreds of years. Today, the beauty of the city can still be explored in Germany's largest pedestrian area with a leisure walk.
On the banks of the river in this small town are located in countless old buildings with hundreds of years of history. Many have been transformed into distinctive restaurants or hotels, combining ancient history with modern life very well. When you stay in a hotel on the bridgehead of the old bridge, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the old and beautiful scenery through the window. The melodious sound of the violin outside the window.
From time to time, I pass through the buildings and enter the house, making people fall in love with this elegant and comfortable town. Outside the window on the other side is an old house arranged neatly, with simple and bright colors. There are endless guests coming and going between the streets, adding a lot of vitality and atmosphere to the town. [The shocking dusk, the sunset scenery of the old bridge].
Accompanied by the sunset that is gradually traveling west, we rushed to the Heidelberg Old Bridge, which has been a long history. In the beautiful sunset, we witness the vicissitudes of history. The old bridge (altebluke) is a stone bridge built from the New Year to the New Year. The medieval bridge gate at the edge of the town is also an original component of the city wall, and it is particularly well preserved during the bridge building.
Baroque helmet-shaped tower roof protection was also added. The sun was about to set, and the white clouds in the sky swam freely, gradually returning to the calm Neka River, which photocopyes the pleasant scenery on both sides of the river. This quiet scene is full of poetry and painting. On the stone pillars of the bridge, some couples who come from afar are tied to a love lock symbolizing love.
In this beautiful scenery, the eternal mark of love is left, which is particularly romantic. On the side of the bridge is the vibrant old city of Heidelberg. With the melodious music coming from the bridge, you can watch the tourists coming and going in the city. It seems to be enjoying a vivid old movie, and every scene is deeply imprinted in your mind. The real name of the old bridge is "Carl-Theodore Bridge".
It is the oldest stone bridge across the Neckar River. The statues of Elector Carl Theodore and Greek goddess Athena are respectively placed at the north and south ends. The two meter-high bridgeheads at the south end of the bridge are the oldest parts of the old bridge, built in the century. They were used as part of the bridge gate. The bronze monkey next to the old bridge gate at the south end of the old bridge is an unmissable part during the tour.
The mirror of the monkey's left hand and the ring of the left foot symbolizes vanity, the buttocks symbolize lust and ugliness, and the fingers stretched out from the right hand are used to block people's evil sight. Legend has it that those who have held the finger of the monkey's right hand will return to Heidelberg in the future, and those who have touched the bronze mirror of the monkey's left hand will have good luck. There is also a pair of mice on the right hand of the monkey, which is the signature of the sculptor.
It is also a symbol of having many children and good fortune. The sun gradually travels westward, and strives to shine brightly on the quiet river water, breaking through layers of thick dark clouds, throwing golden prosperous dreams into the quiet and peaceful rivers. There are also some kayak enthusiasts who travel around the river and work hard to improve their strength. This persistence.
It really comes from my heart's love for this sport. When night falls, the crowded crowds in the old city gradually retreat, and the hustle and bustle of the day gradually return to calm. The old city under the light shows a different temperament. [The night is hazy, walk into the Knight St. George of Heidelberg] Knight St. George (zum Day ttetge).
It is one of the few buildings that have been preserved in Heidelberg during the demolition movement in the Battle of the throne, and is also considered the most spectacular and magnificent of all such buildings. In the history of German architecture, it is also recognized as one of the most impressive monuments in the post-Renain period.
The castle building has been built into Heidelberg Castle, and the famous ruins of Heidelberg Castle, which have risen and fallen in the years. This castle building has been built over the years, consisting of barriers, outbuildings and palaces of various styles, from Gothic to the Heyday of the Renaissance. The two dominant buildings in the east and north of the courtyard were built in the century. Today, they are recognized as the most important building in the history of German architecture.
Information: This ancient city, built in the 13th century, is located on the top of the King's Throne Mountain. It has many scenic spots and historical sites. After several expansions in history, it has formed a mixture of Gothic, Baroque and Renaissance. It is a masterpiece of the German Renaissance.) Standing on the city wall and looking away, you can see endless vineyards, which are beautiful.
The "big wine barrels" and large wine cellars in the fort that can store liters of wine are the most attractive reasons in Heidelberg. After crawling on a mountain road with a steep slope, you can walk into the dark castle. The traditional guards protect the historical relics, meticulously take care of them, and wait for thousands of years of civilization. The castle under the night is very different from the daytime.
In the dark night on the top of the mountain, the ancient walls, adorned by the lights, emit a mysterious atmosphere. When staring at this majestic legendary building, the pictures of the past emerged in my mind. Unconsciously, they followed it and entered that ancient era. The guards guarding the city led a group of guests who came from Canada through the gate.
In the dark environment, enter the castle interior to visit. The shadows imprinted under the light also reveal a mysterious atmosphere. The visitors were not only amazed by the legendary building, but also left an involuntary praise in this great historical site. This ancient castle was severely destroyed during the 1920s war.
Now most of them have become ruins. However, the remaining remains still show its grand scale and majestic momentum. This castle located at the commanding heights of the city is also an excellent viewing platform. Standing here, you can enjoy the scenery of the entire Heidelberg town, especially at night.
Although the small town seems very quiet, it is not lonely under the embellishment of lights. The quiet Neka River, accompanied by the elegant night, makes people intoxicated. After visiting the castle, it is difficult to calm down and come to the foot of the mountain. There is no sleepiness, so I continue to walk along the old bridge and admire the Heidelberg in the night. Standing on the bridge and looking at the castle.
What I feel is another feeling that is completely different from "being in the middle". Following the guidance of the light, I go down several steps and come to the riverside. Appreciating the old bridge from this angle is more complete and seems to be more charming. The entire bridge is connected with the reflection in the water, creating a dreamy scene. Accompanied by the charming night.
After the first meeting with Heidelberg, I returned to the house and fell asleep peacefully. The next morning, I was completely sleepy in the morning. So I got up decisively from the bed and prepared to go out to watch the sunrise of the Neika River. Unexpectedly, there was a fog outside the door. Although there was no sunshine at all, the fog swaying in the wind unexpectedly added a trace of fairy spirit to the small town.
A dreamy scene was created. The magical sunlight struggled to cross the undulating distant mountains, break through the surging clouds and mists in the sky, shining on the vast land, bringing countless golden hopes; the clouds and smoke floated lightly and freely, covering the early morning of this town, and the girl on a bicycle was riding on the old bridge. Under the gaze of the gods, she passed by happily.
Clouds and mists cover the sky above the city, shrouded in mysterious and ancient castles, with magnificent momentum, telling the glorious past, dreamy and gorgeous colors, telling moving fairy tales; the misty clouds and mists around the sky contain endless history in a peaceful atmosphere. The ancient castle among the clouds and mists stands quietly for thousands of years, with its almost perfect face.
It writes countless moving fairy tales. The noon sunshine passes through the thick clouds and blooms with the most dazzling brilliance. The sacred glory sprinkles on the vast earth and shines on the way for pedestrians to move forward. Through the old city and to the other side of the block, it seems particularly quiet without the hustle and bustle of the old city. Going up along a small hill is the local houses.
People live along the mountains and enjoy the peerless scenery in front of them. When they think about this kind of life, they are really envious. The spacious road extends to both sides along the river, and people next to the street practice the road down the river. The scenery along the way is refreshing. After passing a college, there are dolls of various human-shaped bodies placed in the laboratory.
It was quite interesting. After enjoying the beautiful scenery across the river, I returned again and found a roadside restaurant located on the square, and enjoyed a delicious lunch in this quaint environment. After lunch in the square, I was still unsatisfied with the colors of this small town, so I continued to wander around the streets of Heidelberg's old town under the scorching sun.
Feel the happy and comfortable atmosphere. The old city is just relying on the south bank of Neka River, and is a long urban area built beside the river. Although today's old city is full of modern commodities and facilities, the streets, alleys, and main buildings still retain the original quaint style. The winding paths connect the urban area with nature.
Connecting the noise and tranquility, the bicycle that has faded its luster records the passage of time in the long river of history. Walking in the small ancient city, I occasionally look up and see the ancient castle standing on the top of the hill again. Not only did I have the idea of climbing to the top again, and I could see the different scenes in the daytime, so I went forward in the direction of the entrance and climbed towards the castle again.
The main entrance of the castle is carved with a team of warriors in armor, a fountain and four granite columns in the central garden, and surrounded by concert halls, glass halls and other buildings. Most of the rooms in the ancient city are now open for tourists to visit, and some well-preserved halls are still available for banquets and artistic performances. On the way up the mountain, I met two old people.
He was also striving to climb to the top of the mountain. He walked behind the old man. He watched them with their hands behind their backs and bowed their waists, and still headed towards the top unyieldingly, and was shocked by their spirit. After visiting the castle and going down the mountain, he continued to walk along the interlaced paths, trying to see every moving scenery of the small town more carefully.
At the entrance of the castle, there is a small square with a small area called the Food Mall. The Food Mall was once a place for grain trading in ancient times. Now, it has become a quiet small square at the east end of the main street, where you can look up at the scenery of the castle. The statue of Our Lady in the center of the square was erected by the Jesus in the 18th century to win more Catholics.
But to this day, Heidelberg is still a region dominated by Protestantism. This is the starting point for departure to the castle. The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit on the Market Square is the largest and most important church in the old city of Heidelberg. This is an ancient and elegant Gothic red brick building, built between the years and the ages, and has a history of nearly 700 years. The church originally had tombs of the previous kings and electorates.
But they were all destroyed in the Great Alliance War. The only thing left now is the cemetery of the Elector Lupert III, the builder of the church. The interior of the church was very simple. From the age of 1970s, a barrier was erected in the middle of the church to separate Catholics and Protestants who were worshiping at the same time. Now, this is a Protestant church. There are many stalls selling souvenirs around the exterior wall of the church.
It is also one of the traditional scenes of the Market Square. When I came to visit the church, it was noon and there were almost no tourists visiting it. An old man was playing melodious songs on the piano in the church, and the melodious singing echoed throughout the church. Occasionally, a few visitors would involuntarily stay in the church.
Looking up at the exquisite structure inside the church, or looking for a chair casually, sitting quietly, meditating quietly, seeking peace of mind. When you walk out of the church, the streets outside are still noisy and bustling. Just separated by a wall, it is completely like two different worlds from the tranquility inside the church. It is about to leave this vibrant historical city.
Looking at the crowd on both sides of the street with a relaxed expression, I felt a sense of reluctance in my heart. The sun had completely dispelled the clouds and fog, and once again burst out the most dazzling light. Heidelberg under the sun was full of romantic artistic atmosphere. Bathed in this charming atmosphere, heading towards Heidelberg Railway Station, and was about to be in this reluctant mood.
Say goodbye to this small town where art and culture are perfectly integrated. After the trip to Heidelberg, at noon, take the train and head north to enter the charming wine country, the beautiful small town on the Rhine River, Mainz. Mainz uses a unique way to integrate wine with culture and life. It has become a member of the special "Outstanding Wine Capital" International Alliance.
Therefore, it is the official wine capital of Germany. Every visitor to visit the wine capital can enjoy fine wine in a wonderful and authentic atmosphere. Mainz is well-built with many traditional taverns, where you can taste local wine specialties such as Vanni, Riesling, and Danfit as well as the "Mainz Schpender cheese".
On the edge, the spectacular Church of the Emperor St. Martin, a thousand-year-old, sits on its stone hill. The church combines a variety of architectural styles from Romanesque to Baroque. The Market Square, located in front of the cathedral, is picturesque. Just a few steps from the cathedral, is the World Typography Museum. This is no surprise: in Mainz.
Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type printing. The Gutenberg work workshop rebuilt as it is will vividly demonstrate the actual operation of the printing technology. Experience a very special "blue time": the glass windows of St. Stefan Church designed by Marc Chagall turn the entire room into a mysterious, shaking blue realm.
In addition to its rich artistic atmosphere, it is also one of the oldest cities in Germany, and is famous for its rich cultural heritage. When you come here, you will definitely visit the Johannesgutenberg Museum (Johannesgutenberg) to see ancient handwritings from all over the world, with a history of 4,000 years.
The "manothe llenniums" workshop in the museum has been rebuilt. The most worth stroll in Mainz is the augustiras color. Among the many shops, cafes, taverns and residences, the Church of St. Augustine stands out and becomes the focus of these scenery. [Golden shines, St. Peter's Basilica in the morning light].
