The Rhine River is the third largest river in Europe after the Volga River and the Danube River. In Cologne, the Rhine River is wider and has a stable flow level. The nearly 200-kilometer section from Cologne to Mainz is the most beautiful section with the Rhine River. The river channel is winding and the river water is clear and clear. ⊙

Along the river, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu found a red house. This red house is a century-old restaurant in Cologne where Yunluo and Yan Chenyu dined. The most famous dish is roast pork elbow. This restaurant was not blown up during World War II and was preserved intact. It is said that Napoleon also visited this restaurant and ate elbows, which shows how famous the elbows are here.

The table and chairs in this century-old restaurant are very old and have a bit of an era. The clerks are all wearing traditional clothes and recommend their pork elbow meal for Yunluo and Yan Chenyu with a smile, and reminding Yunluo and Yan Chenyu that a pork elbow meal was probably enjoyed by two people together.

After a while, the dishes of Yunluo and Yan Chenyu came on, and the portion was enough. The outer skin of the roasted pork elbow was burnt and tender inside. There was also a piece of tenderloin and a grilled sausage. The side dishes were fried potato cubes, shredded carrots and shredded sauerkraut. The taste was really good. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu quickly swept the food on the plate, and then served with local beer. They feasted in such a big meal.

During the leisure time after lunch, Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu walked by the river, watching the children in the kindergarten sitting on the lawn and singing nursery rhymes. They didn’t want to give themselves too many tasks, they just took a leisure trip.

There is another place to go, which is the old shop that the Germans believe is the birthplace of cologne. The real Cologne perfume is sold here.

Back at the train station and looking up at the church, Yunluo and his companions looked at each other and sighed: Every famous building has its own soul, and the soul of Cologne Cathedral is his spirit. Yunluo's camera cannot take away his soul. If you have the opportunity, please go and watch this masterpiece of mankind in person. This is an indescribable world-shaking thing.

This happy journey is not just about this step you have taken, but about the expectation during the entire preparation process and the joy of the entire trip.

Yunluo's second trip to Germany. After walking through these cities, he became more deeply aware of German history and culture, and was more deeply fascinated by Europe. This led to the subsequent trip to Eastern Europe and France.

Yunluo and Yan Chenyu's plan was to go to Cologne, see the long-awaited cathedral, and be familiar with the traffic rules of the European continent. Yunluo and Yan Chenyu originally wanted to rent a DaBenz, but when they picked up the car, they changed to BMW of the same level. It helped a lot to navigation tomtom, and even the parking routes in the supermarket could be searched. This really helped a lot.

Because of work, edamame is quite familiar with Germany. When I saw Aldi supermarket, I went to buy snacks on the road. In fact, I basically had to go to the supermarket to purchase milk, bread, ham, salad and fruit on the road, and sometimes I had to buy noodles, seafood and meat.

Most of the time during driving, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu also consumed a lot of food during the journey, mostly homemade sandwiches for fruit salads.

Below are raspberries and blueberries. Apples in Europe are super cheap. Many homes have their own apple trees, which don’t care if they fall on the ground. They prefer to eat fruits like blueberries.

The scenery on the road is very exquisite. On the way to Cologne, you can set up a navigation to deliberately bypass the expressway and see several German towns and see their various homes. Beibei sighed and joked that he wanted to buy a property here. The half-red and half-green ivy walls are on the swings in his family yard.

The sunlight cast from the gaps of the red leaves, and the locals who climb stairs to repair the walls by themselves, naturally have a tacit understanding of human life.

Traffic jams are a world problem, and they are moving slowly, but they rarely encounter them in other places since then.

One of the great benefits of self-driving is that when you can park, you can stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery when you see it. There is no one else, like a green space like a windows desktop. The vegetation here is a large grassland, and occasionally there are a few forests, and the town is interspersed with it, which is very harmonious and interesting.

When you enter the city of Cologne, there will never be enough time. The second-hand market you want to go to... Next time, the cityscape is much more modern and richer than the town, with residential buildings, shopping malls, bridges, and restaurants overwhelmed.

The Cathedral of Cologne (k?lnerdom) is a Catholic cathedral, an iconic building of Cologne. It is known as the most perfect example of Gothic church architecture. It was built in 1248 and the project was intermittent. It was not completed by King William I in 1880. It took more than 600 years and is still under renovation.

The interior space is tall and wider, and the tower is straight towards the sky, symbolizing the desire for people to communicate with God. In addition to the two towers, there are many small spires outside the church to set off. The four walls of the church are filled with stained glass depicting the characters of the Bible. There are 5 ringing bells on the church bell tower, with the largest weighing 24 tons. When the bells ring together, they are loud and deep.

You will hear the bells at any time. Although there are so many tourists, the bells sounded, which sets off the city of Cologne, which still looks a bit sacred and quiet.

It's really a pity that due to traffic jams on the road, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu arrived in Cologne later than expected, and it was already dusk. Yan Chenyu didn't have enough time to experience this mysterious and majestic cathedral, so he could only walk around it like a quick glance and stay in the church for a few minutes.

I also saw the Cardinal leading the long white-clothed church members to appear. I wonder if there was any activity that night.

At the back of the church, there is a recommended pig handicraft shop, which is run by Chinese people. The huge pig handicraft is Yunluo and Yan Chenyu for dinner today. I just arrived in Germany. The jet lag was still very serious. After driving for a day, everyone was tired. Seeing such huge meat and beer, I felt self-evident. I still had an unsatisfactory feeling. I still packed it up and made breakfast the next day.

The next day, I was a little amazing. Maodou first took Yunluo and Yan Chenyu to the red light area. It was very high~

Unfortunately, in broad daylight, there were almost no people in the red light area. Two boys walked upstairs, and Yan Chenyu and Beibei took pictures of the streets with various eyes. There is a particularly good Mexican chicken roll here. Friends who come here, highly recommend it.

Various graffiti seen on the streets that drove out of Frankfurt.

The itinerary on the second day was originally going to Munich to attend the Beer Festival, but the path that Yunluo and Yan Chenyu took was a must for the romantic road that German tourism mainly promoted (the guide will write this recommended road in detail for the subsequent guide).

The two places I walked through made Yunluo and Yan Chenyu linger and affected Yunluo and the time he spent in Munich. There are many changes and possibilities, and I will be at peace with the situation.

The picturesque ancient city of Uzburg wurzburg is located on the banks of the Main River. From a distance, it looks like a city of sky. Marion Fort, surrounded by medieval walls, was the residence of the Archbishop from 1253 to 1720. When Yun Luo and Yan Chenyu arrived, there were only 20 or 30 people in the whole city, and it was as quiet as if speaking loudly destroyed its tranquility.

Many tourists use bicycles to visit the small town. During the journey, Fox told Yan Chenyu that her foreign teacher also believes that bicycles are the best way to visit Germany.

The next stop is Rothenburg, a romantic road for Germany, and it is the most complete area among all German cities with the medieval city style and is known as the "treasure of the medieval century". Rothenburg's German meaning is "red castle", and most of the roofs of houses in the city are dark and red.

An ancient city suitable for playing with lovers is extremely romantic. Before writing the guide, Yan Chenyu posted several pictures of Rottenberg on Weibo and was forwarded by netizens more than 180 times, which shows the powerful popularity of Rottenberg. Any church, a corridor, a fountain, and a statue have at least seven or eight hundred years of history.

One after another, the arched city gates are filled with legendary colors and ancient imprints, and there are 36 towers of all sizes. The churches that cars can pass through their stomachs are equipped with shop signs of different ages. The exterior walls are colorful and half-wood houses with chocolate patterns - it is so cute!

The ancient city of Rotenburg was built in the 9th century AD. During the reign of the Holy Roman Empire, Rotenburg was the free city of the empire and its trade activities were very prosperous. This small town has been baptized by many wars in the long river of history, but fortunately, many ancient buildings are still preserved intact to this day.

Maodou said this is rare in the entire German country, which makes today's Rothenburg still full of the romantic mood of medieval Europe.

I liked the white carriage, and later I went to Neuschwanstein Castle to experience it once.

The windows decorated with flowers, ancient and houses and vibrant flowers, are like the real presentation of the movie scene.

This place looks like a private house. Yan Chenyu and edamame were attracted by the plants all over the wall and walked into the photo. There was also a tombstone in the yard, and I don’t know whose old residence it was.

At the back of the house, there is still dense vegetation.

Walking to the end of the old city is a viewing point where you can see the panoramic view of Rottenberg, just like the beautiful pictures in the window, green space and red roofs. This is the fairy tale world I have read before.

There are very luxurious large grasslands and old trees in China. I saw a group of tourists from abroad, and there were many people and it was not noisy. Maodou said that if it was a traveling spot in China at this time, the tour guide would definitely not let go of the big trees. He would tell everyone to go around in a circle, get promoted and make money in two circles, and live a hundred years of life in three circles, and then the bark would be worn off by tourists.

Beibei, Cherry, Yunluo and Yan Chenyu walked away separately. They had afternoon tea in a beautiful cafe, which was also a luxury. The other two pastries were really delicious!
