What the cultural richness of the Rhine Valley.The cultural history of Middle-Europe, the Rhine's romantic epoch and many historical landscapes all come togegher into this one small area. This concentration of culture-40 castles,stately homes and fortresses in the upper middle-Rhine valley is unique in the world and has been declared a World Human Heritage site by UNESCO since 2003.
不真實的葡萄園讓我終於從台灣的緊張生活中解脫,中世紀的情懷加上悠然的河流, 慢慢洗滌淨空人們的不平靜,丘陵上別有風味的家舍, 酒鄉的恬靜,空中瀰漫羅蕾萊的想像歌聲,和著萊茵河陽照,讓人陶醉.
A journey back into time,the solid stone structures and exciting stories left behind make them appear to be eternal and readily comprehensible. Anyone who follows the curious course might at first think that the road has chosen its own route.It winds completely naturally throuth picturesque landscapes and time after time enters cities where you can sense the "Good old days".
帝國與小鎮,貴族與普羅大眾,對比的風貌在同一個城鎮完全不突兀,反而讓人沉迷漫步在石板銀杏路上, 尋覓城堡所在,尋覓一份心中暇想的城牆堡壘,在其中尋得一個寧靜的三度空間,在其中覓得一份屬於自我的浪漫主義. (海德堡與羅騰堡)
The passionate exaltation of nature, the strong spiritual attachment to the land they live on. This is the forest as the source of folk legends, fairy tales and superstitions; the forest as the spiritual home of all things German; the mystical forest. This love of nature is perhaps no longer reflected in such romanticising imagery but finds its modern counterpart in the extraordinary importance given nowadays to ecology and forest conservation.

黑森林的廣闊,如同義大利的托斯卡尼,帶著陽光的生命力,又加上德國特有理性的本質. 它也延申了生活的想像空間,充滿童話色彩,就如同德式手工麵包,單一的純綷,咀嚼中,各種風味卻紛至沓來, 再酌飲森林湖面的迷人傳說,黑森林的味道無可言喻.
Past ancient castles, quaint chalet-inns, and mountaintop villages with elaborately painted hourses, the road gives travelers a look at some of the best of Germany also the spectacularly beautiful natural border between Germany and Austria. ~ A Drive trhough Pastcard-Perfect Beauty
高山纜車加山區火車,不同的體驗的方式,飽覽無際群峰,或山區中的穿梭,享受Alps的美. 唉∼除此之外,我卻在阿爾卑斯山脈感到扼腕,因為奢想著攀登峰頂,想著在楚格峰的金星標誌下,享受喘息的片刻, 看著在山脈裏緩步前進的健行者,我想那才是旅行,也許下一次我也在其中,而且定要在奧地利及德國的分際點上, 俏皮地踏上雙足.

在羅曼蒂克大道上體驗歷史的衝突,還是那種浪漫哲學風,但其中卻摻雜著二次大戰中的矛盾,在重建後的新歷史 與歐盟所來的新經濟,城內的新建築與為了信仰不可少的新教堂,所有的’新’給了’舊’相同的外表,卻有不同的表徵．
Beware of witches and wicked stepmothers as you explore the land of the Brothers Grimm. Grimm’s Fairy Tales did not happen in Fairyland, they happened in Germany, and it takes no cyclone – not so much as a magic wand – to transport you to the land of childhood and German folk history. (quote from Germany Life by Betty Lowry)
真實的城鎮是格林童話的舞台,木造建築及人物雕像形成的場景,格林童話讓其間的大城小鎮展現魔力,你也能遠離現實,在這裏創造自己的純真年代．
