Lesson 13 - 'Unsere Reise in Deutschland' and 'Directions'

26/4/2022

0 Comments

 
Unsere Reise in Deutschland

Wir sind immer noch in Deutschland und am Morgen nach der Ankunft finden wir das Lager der Autovermietung.Dort bekommen wir unseren bestellten Leihwagen (Mietwagen). Ein kleiner Volkswagen (Polo) ist billiger zu mieten als ein Mercedes Benz. Das Servicepersonal prüft das Auto auf irgend welche Fehler und wenn keine da sind bescheinigen wir das mit einer Unterschrift. Man zeigt uns wie das Auto funktionirt und weist uns dauf hin das man in Deutschland auf der rechten Straßenseite fährt.

Nun geht die Fahrt los. Wir fahren zuerst nach Rüdesheim am Rhein. Dort sehen wir viele Weinberge und in der Stadt gibt es viele Geschäfte wo man Wein in Flaschen kaufen kann. Riesling ist der bekannteste Wein am Rhein. In Rüdesheim kommen wir an Häusern vorbei die ein Schild zeigen; Zimmer frei: Dort können wir privat übernachten und es ist oft billiger als ein Hotel.Frühstück ist gewöhnlich einbegriffen
​
Am nächsten Tag fahren wir weiter durch das berühmte Rheintal von Rüdesheim bis Koblenz. Auf dieser Fahrt sieht man dutzende von Burgen und Kapellen und überall steile Weinberge.Diese Gegend hat eine lange Geschichte. Es waren die Römer die den Wein hierher gebracht haben. Der Rhein war die Grenze zwischen Rome und Germanien.Wenn man Ende September in diese Gegend kommt kann man an einem Winzerfest teinehnem.
​

Welterbe Oberes Mittelrheintal Zahlreiche Mythen und Sagen, z.B. von der Jungfrau Loreley, ranken sich um das Rheintal und seine Burgen und Schlösser. Eine Schiffahrt gehört ebenso zu den Highlights des Rhein-Urlaubs wie der Besuch eines Weinfestes. Ein Flusstal wie aus einem Bilderbuch - mit schroffen Felsen, steilen Weinbergslagen, einer Burg auf fast jeder hohen Bergeskuppe und pittoresken Orten links und rechts der Ufer. Der Besonderheit der Region trägt übrigens auch die Auszeichnung des 60 Kilometer langen Rheintals zwischen Bingen/Rüdesheim und Koblenz zum UNESCO Welterbe bei.
                 

Our trip in Germany

We are still in Germany and in the morning after arrival we find the car rental warehouse. There we get our ordered rental car (rental car). A small Volkswagen (Polo) is cheaper to rent than a Mercedes Benz. The service staff checks the car for any faults and if there are none, we certify this with a signature. We are shown how the car works and we are told that in Germany you drive on the right side of the road.

Now the journey begins. We drive first to Rüdesheim am Rhein. There we see many vineyards and in the town there are many shops where you can buy bottled wine. Riesling is the most famous wine on the Rhine. In Rüdesheim we pass houses that show a sign; Rooms available: We can stay there privately and it is often cheaper than a hotel. Breakfast is usually included

The next day we continue through the famous Rhine Valley from Rüdesheim to Koblenz. On this trip you will see dozens of castles and chapels and steep vineyards everywhere. This area has a long history. It was the Romans who brought the wine here. The Rhine was the border between Rome and Germania. If you come to this area at the end of September you can take part in a wine festival.
​
World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley Numerous myths and legends, e.g. of the Jungfrau Loreley, are entwined around the Rhine Valley and its castles and palaces. A boat trip is one of the highlights of a holiday on the Rhine, as is a visit to a wine festival. A river valley like out of a picture book - with rugged cliffs, steep vineyards, a castle on almost every high hilltop and picturesque places to the left and right of the bank. The special feature of the region also contributes to the fact that the 60-kilometre-long Rhine Valley between Bingen/Rüdesheim and Koblenz has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site
