What are the interesting routes in North Rhine-westfalen?

This trip found a road map suitable for parent-child travel. There is no risk of traffic jam along the way, there are many places suitable for children to play, and the free zoo encountered on the road is also very safe. This route can be called a children's tour route, and it is still worth seeing.

I. Route formulation

This time, Mr. Jiang and I wanted to make full use of Ticket2000 and go as far as possible, so Xianteng, the easternmost part of Ruhr, became our best choice. Xianteng is famous for its unique town scenery and ancient Roman ruins. In recent years, the town's tourism industry has developed continuously and successfully attracted more and more tourists.

Starting from Essen and Xianteng, Oberhausen is a city that can still be visited around. When I looked up the Raiders, I found two places very attractive, one is Oberhausenburg and the nearby park, and the other is the largest shopping plaza in Europe.

Therefore, our preliminary plan is as follows:

1, leave Essen around 8: 30 and go to Oberhausen.

2. Visit Oberhausen Castle and Nature Park around 9 am.

3. 1 1 Go to the shopping center for lunch.

4. Take the afternoon bus 1 and go to Xianteng.

5. Visit Xianteng in the afternoon, and the specific return time is uncertain.

Second, Oberhausen

From Essen to Oberhausen, you can take S3 every 30 minutes, and the journey 17 minutes. Outside Oberhausen's railway station, there is a big bus stop. You can go to all the scenic spots you want by bus.

When we arrived, we just watched a bus leave. While waiting for the second bus, I missed it because I stood on the wrong platform. Here, I suggest that after determining the bus route and train number, you must pay attention to the electronic information display board and see which platform you are on. Take bus No.956 here, and you can reach Oberhausenburg in 7 minutes.

After getting off the bus, Mr. Jiang and I first went to the residential area across the road from Oberhausenburg for a while. The greening here is very good. Brick-red houses are surrounded by green trees. Germans have always had a tradition of caring for their gardens, so the environment is excellent. We both lamented that it was good to retire in this environment. ?

Then, we visited Oberhausenburg. As soon as we crossed the road, a unique bridge stood out. This is Oberhausen's famous flyover SlingkySpringsTo.

Fame. This 406-meter-long bridge spans the Rhine River. The building is inspired by the children's toy rotating spring, which is deeply loved by children. The bridge deck is made of different colors of plastic, which is said to be more childlike in the light at night. Parents can take their children for a walk along the river and bridge, enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Rhine River and breathe fresh air. ?

Oberhausenburg is close to here, only three to five minutes' walk. We didn't open the door when we arrived, so we didn't see the art museum inside. The area here is not large, and it looks like a small yard. We didn't feel anything, so we thought about going to the back garden and leaving, but we accidentally unlocked a new area. ?

Fort Oberhausen

Walk south to Oberhausenburg for another 5 minutes, and you will find a free small zoo. Most animals here are ordinary, but cattle and sheep are animals, but the fence is not high. Children can touch the lamb and feed it to the foal. Fortunately, we just caught up with complacency. Peacocks wagged their tails and wandered around, pointing their butts at tourists. Later, we saw alpacas, wolves and unidentified big cats. ?

The most surprising thing is that after leaving the park, we found a black swan in a nearby pond. This is the first time I have seen a black swan with my own eyes. I am so excited. ?

There are gains and losses. We missed the bus to the shopping center because we visited the zoo. In order to ensure the afternoon trip, we gave up the shopping center and went directly to Xianteng.

Three? , xianteng

After leaving Oberhausen, we first rushed to Duisburg to solve the lunch problem.

There is a bus ferry from Duisburg to Xianteng, which runs every hour and takes about 45 minutes by car. 10 Distribute the shuttle bus from Duisburg to Xianteng on time, and Xianteng will leave from Duisburg on time.

Walking into Xianteng Town, spacious stone roads, brick-red old houses and fast-rotating windmills in the distance make it look slightly different from the town I have been to before. My first impression of Walden, south of Essen, is like a small town in an American movie. Hattingen, next to Bochum, is more like a weekend market where music can be played at any time. Compared with the first two, Xianteng is bigger and more historical, and the vicissitudes of ancient buildings can be seen everywhere, which is more leisurely and quiet. When I didn't go to the center of the old city, I still had some doubts. Why is it so quiet here on Saturday? Walking through the old city gate, people suddenly increased, and the streets were full of umbrellas and Germans licking ice cream. ?

Tour train around the city

There is a beautiful Catholic church in the center of the city, which should be quite historical, and there are many important cultural relics in it. When we went in, there were two commentators explaining historical relics to tourists respectively. Since visiting Cologne Church, I have become more and more interested in glass windows. Before I left, I bought a postcard with a glass window in the church, which was only 0.2 euros, which was a great deal.

Our grand finale today is Xianteng Ancient Roman Ruins Park, which is the largest open archaeological ruins park in the world. In 9 AD, the town of Xianteng was destroyed in the war between the Roman Empire and the Germans. 90 years later, the Roman emperor ordered the reconstruction of the vines. The park we visited today is exactly where the ancestors lived.

The park is located in the opposite direction of the city center, and the adult ticket price is 9 euros. At present, small-scale classroom activities of ancient Roman handicrafts are being held here, making pottery, ox bone jewelry and so on. , the participation fee is calculated separately. ?

As soon as I entered the park, the huge Colosseum in ancient Rome was shocking. Take a closer look, there are actors dressed as gladiators performing in the arena. The first floor of the arena was changed into a small museum, which briefly introduced the history here. ?

Further on, there is the sacrificial hall. The remaining Roman columns and high altars are still magnificent. ?

Our tour here can be said to be over, and there is no visit to the museum behind. Because of the limited physical strength and the time to return, we left the park and sat down by the river at the back. I stumbled across some interesting things, such as a mini golf course and billiards kicked with my feet. Rental of golf clubs at the service desk of the wharf is not expensive; There are also tickets for speedboats, and you can go for a ride on the river. ?
