Chapter 136 Rebirth
It is not good weather in the northern foothills of the Alps within two or three days, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to clear up in a short period of time. I can only sigh that the fog hiking in the cold weather is not something Yun Luo and An Chuyu like, so I gave up the idea of going to An Chuyu and only walked around the hillside casually. The snow-capped mountains in the distance occasionally revealed their true appearance.
I thought it would be beautiful to see the snow-capped mountains in the distance on a sunny day. The lake and mountain scenery were no longer visible, and the theme was changed to alpine wild flowers. Fit is more than 2,100 meters above sea level, and the green grass is covered with various wild flowers. When walking back, many backpackers came to the top of the mountain, and the clouds made everyone's faces full of regrets. Taking the cable car down the mountain, it was still a fairyland to walk through.
But there was a feeling of a speeding heartbeat downward. Back to G-Rising Ndelald Railway Station, I asked the ticket office whether I could climb Jungfrau in the afternoon with a try-and-see attitude. The answer I got was yes. I really don’t know why the staff at the cable car station and the railway station were completely different, which made An Chuyu not very good all morning.
So I bought the ticket to go up the mountain for the G-Day Ndelald-kleine cum idegg-jungraujoh and the ticket to go down the mountain for the Jungraujoh-kleine cum idegg-wengen. This is the most expensive train ticket in the world. It hurts so much. Finally, I can go to Jungfraujoh, and An Chuyu was much happier.
The mountain village is full of pastoral scenery, and cows are eating grass in the mountains. At Kleine Shooting Idegg Station, they take the Jungfrau Gear Train and head to the top of Europe. Here is a popular science: Jungfrau Gear Train is a 3-rail narrow-gauge train, with a gear rail between two narrow-gauge trains for driving.
Each train has two or three carriages, driven by a powered car, with a maximum speed of 24 kilometers per hour between the mountains. This railway was built from 1896 to 1912 and opened to traffic in August 1912. The terminal is Jungraujoh Station, with an altitude of 3,454 meters, and is also the highest railway station in Europe.
Before you arrive at Jungraujoh Station, you have to pass several stops. The snow-capped mountains are close to you. The last 7 kilometers of railway tracks were built in a granite mountain tunnel. It took 14 years to dig this tunnel and is one of the master projects in the history of world railways. There are two stations, eigerand and eismeer stations, and the train will park at both stations for 5 minutes.
Let tourists get off the bus and see the glass windows chiseled on the rock wall of the tunnel. Do you feel like traveling through time and space? Although the scenery seen by the glass windows of eigerand stations and eismeer stations cannot reach the sky, the view in the morning was much better. Jungfrau Station has finally arrived.
First, go to the observation deck at an altitude of 3,571 meters to see the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains. There are photos in the tunnel that reflect the scene of the Jungfrau Railway being built, paying tribute to these fearless people. Although there are still thick clouds in the sky, the beautiful Alai Glacier in the distance is clearly visible. The Alai Glacier is the largest and longest glacier in the Alps.
It stretches 24 kilometers and is 1.6 kilometers wide. Affected by global warming, the glacier melted 100 meters between 2005 and 2006. The Alai Glacier was listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO for its magnificent original scenery. The glacier playground is for tourists to entertain in the snow and experience the charm of the snow mountains firsthand.
People are really like ants and take pictures on the top of Europe. The Ice Palace is actually some ice sculptures. The ice surface is super slippery and it is extremely difficult to walk. After a walk, I finally came to the Glacier Playground. Stepping on the snow and staying in the snowy mountain. There is also a Yikou Lian store on Jungfrau Peak. An Chuyu picked several flavors, which can be regarded as a souvenir to bring back some of them.
After two crazy games, I dragged my tired body down the mountain. From white to green, the beautiful scenery changed so quickly. Monaco and Monaco saw the waterfall again. Yun Luo and An Chuma returned to Lauterbrunn. It was time to say goodbye. Although there were regrets, there were many surprises. One day, Yun Luo and An Chuma would definitely return. The beautiful Alps always make people reluctant to leave.
In the evening, I took the train to stay in Brienz Town. Brienz is located on the shore of Lake Brienz "The Right Eye of God". It is a town famous for its wood carvings. Yunluo and An Chuyu chose a B&B hotel called "ttage". The owner of the hotel is an elderly couple, very kind because their daughter-in-law is a human.
The old man is also simple. This is probably the place where Yunluo and An Chuyu feel the most satisfied with the entire itinerary. The interior of the wooden house is quaint and unique, and the scenery outside the window is picturesque. Monaco Monaco Monaco Monaco Monaco Monaco Monaco Monaco Monaco Through the window, the calm Lake Brienz came into view. Monaco This is the wooden house where the hotel owner lives.
Monaco This is another room in Monaco. The sun slowly sets into the mountains, and the day is over again. After counting on your fingers, there are only two days left for the trip in Switzerland.
Sleep in the wooden house until you wake up naturally. You can enjoy Lake Brienz in the early morning by pushing the door. From Brienz, you can climb Rothorn. From the top of the mountain, you can overlook Lake Brienz and look at Jungfrau. Because you have just taken the Gear train from Jungfrau, you have not tried it. After packing up, breakfast begins, bread, jam, milk, juice.
Although it is very traditional, it is very enjoyable to have breakfast while enjoying the lake view. After breakfast, I posed for pictures around the cute wooden house. After playing with the wooden house, I came to the town of Brienz. Monaco sat quietly by the lake and integrated myself into a beautiful picture. I really want to swim in the lake like a water bird.
Monaco Train Station is right next to the clear water, which can be regarded as one of the most beautiful train stations in the world. In the afternoon of Monaco, I took a train to leave Brienz and headed to Lucerne. Lucerne is the most beautiful and ideal tourist city in Switzerland. Unfortunately, the weather is not beautiful. After arriving in Lucerne, the rainy rain also came here with Yunluo and An Chuhui.
Because the weather is bad, I didn’t stroll by Lake Lucerne, but I just went to the most famous Cabernet Bridge in the city. Cabernet means "chapel" in German. It is named because there is St. Peter's Church not far from the bridge. The railings on both sides of the bridge are decorated with red flowers all year round, which looks like a flower corridor, so it is also called "Flower Bridge".
The wooden bridge was built in 1333 and is 200 meters long. There is an octagonal water tower near the bridge. It used to be a place where trophy and jewelry were placed during combat. It was also used as a prison and execution room for a while. The rain in Monaco Monaco did not have much impact on the big white geese and other waterfowls in the river.
After Monaco, I went to Lucerne for a walk. Because the weather was bad, there were few people on the streets. There was a restaurant in the core area, and the price was really not cheap. The rain was getting heavier and he could only rush back to the hotel in the rain. The greatest happiness of traveling was the strong weather. Perhaps the luck of Yunluo and An Chuhui had used too much before.
The weather was often so gloomy and rainy from time to time, which greatly affected the interest in travel and the photo shooting. I rested on rainy nights. I had to go to Rigi Mountain the next morning.
Early in the morning, I arrived at the pier opposite Lucerne Railway Station and took a boat to Mount Rigi. Lucerne Railway Station Square. The pier, where there is water, there are big white geese, and the Hof Church is in the distance. The clouds in the sky are still very thick, and the sunlight occasionally passes through the gaps of the clouds. The sun is coming out~ the extremely enviable Swiss.
Weggis Town. Yunluo and Anchuzhi return pier in the afternoon. The cable car cableway is the tool for Yunluo and Anchuzhi to go down the mountain. At this time, a seabird began to fly with the ship, as if escorting Yunluo and Anchuzhi. After a while, another seabird also joined the escort formation. After a nearly one-hour journey, he arrived at vitznau Town.
The gear train to go up the mountain. This section of the railway was opened in 1871 and is one of the earliest mountaineering railways opened in Europe. The sun is shining at the foot of the mountain. The train slowly goes up and soon goes up 45 degrees. Standing in the carriage is almost falling. The scenery outside the window is beautiful. When you arrive at the station, a big black dog boards the train and lies obediently beside the owner.
Swiss dogs are so happy. They can enjoy the mountains and rivers by train. After getting on the bus, they were invited into the cab. The child was very excited. Why did this child think of Yunluo's fat Rooney? The height rose to 1,453 meters above sea level, the temperature dropped sharply, and Yunluo had already started to tremble.
The worst thing is that clouds gather at this height, and outside the window gradually turned into a white world. The train terminal is a mountain train station, with an altitude of nearly 1,800 meters. After getting off the bus, I found that I could not climb the mountain at all because of the heavy fog and the visibility was very low. Moreover, the temperature was very low that the shorts could not last for a long time.
Mountaineering signpost. Climbing to the top of Mount Rigi and overlooking the lake and mountains was the original plan. But now I can’t even see the watchtower on the top of the mountain, and the road up the mountain is blurry. I can only see the envy of other hikers. It’s really a pity. I couldn’t help but plan to rush back to the train station in less than five minutes, but I found that the fog couldn’t find the way it came.
I finally found the station by sound, and jumped on the train without saying a word. The trip to Mount Rigi ended in a hurry. Take the train back to the gikaltbad and transfer to the cable car to go down the mountain. Trains, boats, cable cars, these are the main means of transportation for Swiss travel. Switzerland's bus system is well developed and the time connection is reasonable, which is what makes Yun Luo admire the most.
The cable car is much faster to get off the mountaineering train. In a few minutes, we arrived at the town of Weggis at the foot of the mountain. In addition to flowers and fruits, there are many unique furnishings in the courtyard, which are full of innocence everywhere. The steeplechase in the town and the chess board by the lake. When boarding the boat, I walked by the lake for a while and I really liked towns like Switzerland.
There are mountains and lakes, which are very quiet and are an excellent place for retirement. Duck mothers take the duck babies to swim. Write a postcard to record their mood. The boat comes. When they return to Lucerne, they start to travel to Lucerne, and make up for what they did not complete the day before. The first stop is Hof Church. Hof Church was first built in 735 and was built with a Romanesque building.
In the 14th century, the church was converted into a double tower Gothic building. The second stop was the Lion Monument. This is one of the most famous statues in the world. It was carved on natural rocks by a Danish sculptor in 1821. The lion was 10 meters long and 3 meters high. It fell to the ground in pain, with a broken spear stuck on the shoulder, and a shield with the Swiss national emblem beside it.
This statue commemorates the 786 Swiss mercenaries who were killed in battle in August 1792 to protect the safety of Louis XVI. Back then, Switzerland was a poor and backward country. Men went to European countries to make a living and worked as mercenaries. Swiss mercenaries were loyal to their employers and were brave and good at fighting, but after this incident.
Switzerland stopped exporting mercenaries, leaving only the Guards serving the Catholic Church in the Vatican. American writer Mark Twain praised the lion as "the most tragic and touching statue in the world." Next to the Lion Monument is the Iceberg Park, with landform relics left by Quaternary glaciers, as well as the Glacier Museum, Watchtower, and Swiss House.
Alhanbra Mirror Maze, etc. Monaco, Monaco, returned to Flower Bridge, and there were more people on the street a day before. Monaco, Monaco, took a train to Zurich, the last destination of the trip to Switzerland. Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland, the richest city in Europe, and one of the world's financial hearts.
When the hotel put down its luggage, it turned into a tram and came to the heart of Zurich. The feeling of the heart of Zurich is a river, several bridges, and churches of all colors. St. Peter's Basilica of Augustine Lane (st.peter), the oldest church in Zurich, was built in 1534. The bell tower has the largest church bell pointer plate in Europe. This church tower is also used to monitor fires.
According to the time of a fire, someone extended a flag to the direction of the fire to tell people where to put out the fire. The Women's Cathedral (Fraumunster), the tower-style Women's Cathedral in the 13th century was the church of the Zurich aristocratic women's nursing home. The Gross Cathedral (Grossmunster) was built during the Caroling Dynasty.
It has become a symbol of Zurich's city with its unique twin towers. The dark clouds in the sky have become the wonderful background of the church. Monaco walks and pats along the rivers and bridges, and soon I fell in love with the city. Monaco Monaco Zurich Railway Station. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, I will see you again. A brief trip to Zurich ends at the railway station.
Have a fast food. Go back to the hotel to rest. Yunluo and An Chuhui are going to return to France and experience the romantic capital of Paris.
I took Air France to Paris early in the morning. The Rerb line was transferred to Metro Line 14, and arrived at the hotel at noon. The weather was not strong enough, the rain continued, and the temperature dropped a lot. The plan to take a boat trip to the Seine was also forced to strand. The first stop was the Church of Sacred Heart. The Church of Sacred Heart was built in 1910 and was not completed until 1935.
Its white dome has a unique style that combines Romanesque and Byzantine, and is quite oriental. Because it rains, the white church looks a bit dirty, but there are still many tourists here. There are two horse-riding statues on both sides of the dome: French king St. Louis and national hero Joan of Arc.
Monaco is built on the Heights of Montmartre. It stands in the square in front of the church and overlooks the Paris view. It is foggy on the rainy day and the visibility is not high. The Monaco church is solemn and unscrupulous, and photographs are not allowed. I walked around and left. The rain really affected my enthusiasm for traveling. I walked through the streets of Momat in the rain.
Looking for the famous Love Wall. The founder of Love Wall was a musician named Baron. He collected "Yunluo Love You" written in more than 300 languages and asked a French female designer to design Love Wall. Love Wall was in an inconspicuous street park, and it took a while to find it.
A girl was painted above the wall, and a line of words next to the drawing read: Be rational and do not force it (soyonsraisonnable, eigeonslimpos private). The "Love You" is located on the far left of the love wall. The flowers in the park. The streets in the Montmartre area are very quiet because it rains, and there are almost no people.
Monaco Sex Museum is located on a main street in Montmartre. There are various adult shops around it. In order to be clean, the furnishings in the museum are not shown, but this is indeed a museum with very artistic characteristics. Next to the Monaco Sex Museum is the famous Moulin Moon, and the red windmill is its logo.
This is the oldest and most famous show in Paris. It is also the birthplace of French Cancan Dance. The show attracts audiences with programs such as beauties, singing and dancing, juggling, imitation skills, and attracts many tourists who like nightlife every day to feast their eyes. Because of the heavy rain in Monaco, there is really no place to go, An Chuyu suggested going to Lafayette.
I saw if I was interested in the bag, and it also sucked away the frustrating rainy day. Who knew that when I arrived at Lafayette, I realized that the mall was on Sunday. In the spring of Paris next to me, Yunluo didn’t even have a Chinese figure on the subway of Lafayette. It turned out that it was done by everyone Yunluo and An Chuyu.
The rain was getting heavier and wet, and it was so uncomfortable that I had to go back to the hotel to rest. I passed by the Paris Opera House and took a photo to get it. I wanted to find a restaurant near the Vatican Hotel in Vatican to eat something to warm up my body, but many restaurants did not open on Sunday and finally chose a Japanese restaurant run by Hong Kong people. I ordered udon noodles and skewers, which tasted sloppy.
The first day in Paris was spent in this cold rain, and I was very disappointed. I could only expect the weather to be better in the next two days, at least not raining.
The rain clouds are still shrouded in the downtown area of Paris. In order to satisfy An Chuyu's shopping desire, the first stop was the Chanel store located at 42 Montaigne Avenue. Because he was afraid that the bag he liked was snatched away, An Chuyu asked to arrive early. He arrived at the door of the store at 9:40, but the store door did not open. Could it be that it was closed on Monday?
Chapter completed!
