用另一个角度看德国 - Koblenz III, 游Rhine河 (17 Aug 10)

Rhine,不只是全德国最长的河流,也是全欧洲最长、最重要的河流之一。整个河流的长度是1,232公里长。Rhine会成为欧洲重要的河流,其中一个原因是因为当初在罗马的统治下Rhine是最重要的运输工具之一。借由这条管道,把货物从大河流带入小河流。除此之外,Rhine也成了各国防守攻击的一道自然维护墙。

来到了德国,目睹了Rhine, 才开始喜欢上它。喜欢它的原因是因为从Rhine流入每一条小溪的水都是翡翠的天蓝绿色,忽青忽蓝,非常的漂亮。另外一个原因是因为靠着Rhine河流有很多古老又浪漫的古堡。(点击这个网址就可以看到靠Rhine河流的古堡:http://www.loreley-info.com/eng/rhein-rhine/walking-hiking/rhine-castle-trail.shtml)

在Koblenz的那一天,我和小华每人买了6欧元的船票游Rhine河。河边的风景,加上德国传统的建筑物,我们的这一趟船游是值得的。只是很可惜当天的天气不好,风大,最后也下了毛毛雨。


Rhine is the longest river in Germany and Europe. With the length of 1,232km, it was one of the most important rivers mainly for trading and carrying goods to the inland. Besides serving as a source of transportation, Rhine used to be a natural defensive feature guarding the international borders of a few regions.

There are a few reasons why I like Rhine:
1. The water that flows from Rhine to the smaller streams turns into emerald green. It was so beautiful!
2. Old and romantic castles were built along Rhine. Driving along the river will enable you to see all the fantastic architectures. (the following website contains map of castles along Rhine:

We paid 6 euro and went for a boat ride on Rhine. The scenery along Rhine and Moselle was breathtaking, we really love the traditional wood houses that built along the rivers.

上了船,等待船开游。船票是穿开动后,自然会有人来收前售票。

船停留的正上方刚好是缆车经过的地方。这些缆车是把游客从German Corner这一带载到对岸的
Festung Ehrenbreitstein/Ehrenbreitstein Fortress
Besides crossing the river by boat, cable car is the alternative way to cross the water and get to Festung Ehrenbreitstein/ Ehrenbreitstein Fortress which is located at the other side of the land.

船开动了,我也不懂小华在兴奋些什么。是风景太美了?还是午餐的那一杯咖啡含太高的咖啡因?

我在船上都快晕了,小华竟然还在船上走来又走去,真的服了他。

船上的旗子随着风飘。。。

沿着Rhine河流都会看到很多漂亮的建筑物。

我们又回来German Corner了!
Turning back to German Corner!

这回我们是在Rhine与Moselle的 交叉点看过去的,一眼望去就是先看到夺目的Wilhelm I 铜像。

船把我们从Rhine带到German Corner, 然后再从German Corner带到Moselle。这张是Moselle部分的风景。

来到这里,就是船能达到Moselle的尽头了。照片里的石桥是Koblenz鼎鼎有名的Balduinbruecke (Baldwin Bridge). 这座桥建于公元前14年。今天Balduinbruecke成了UNESCO World Heritage 的一分子。
The boat turned back before reaching Balduinbruecke (Baldwin Bridge). This bridge was built in 14 century and today it's one of the UNESCO World Heritage.

我们又转一圈回到German Corner咯!

从Moselle河出来后,船继续向Rhine开去。这里的房子都很漂亮,就如照片里半山的屋子一样,每一间都有向着Rhine的阳台。

船开回码头的路上,天突然不作美,下起了毛毛雨来。加上风又大,冷到两排牙齿在不停的打交道。为了避开冷风、被淋湿,我们最后还是跑到楼下的船舱避风雨。
