心灵宫殿The world ushers in April, the most beautiful cherry blossom season. But you may not think that Germany, which has always been known for its high cold industrial sense, has such an intoxicating pink season. In Germany, the cherry blossom forest in the garden of this palace is beautiful except for the cherry blossom street in Bonn. It is less solemn than other palaces in Europe. But, can combine the palace and garden interestingly, let people enjoy the exquisite ancient buildings, but also can be in the green sea of birds and flowers, no doubt it is the most beautiful! It is the Schwetzingen Palace and the palace garden (Schloss und Schlossgarten Schwetzingen)! Schwetzingen Palace is not famous for its palace, but rather its palace garden. On a sunny day in April, we drove to Schwetzingen Palace near Heidelberg. Schwetzingen Palace is a palace in name, but actually a huge garden. The palace and its gardens occupy a vast area, all kinds of flowers are colorful, and the rare plants are dense. It is not too much to say that this is a botanical garden. Because of YQ, the interior of Schweitzingen Palace is not open for the time being, but the palace garden can be visited. As soon as we entered the gate, this huge palace garden retains the original appearance of 1749, lush, magnificent, vegetation shape, at a glance. We went straight to the theme and finally saw the long-lost cherry blossom forest, and the cherry blossoms of trees and trees were blooming, like clouds and clouds; Because of the small population of the town, the cherry blossoms here are basically locals, not as lively as the cherry blossom street in Bonn, but the cherry blossoms here have a touch of tranquility, just like the ancient nobles who know the etiquette. When the European-style baroque palace is surrounded by romantic Japanese cherry blossoms, what spark can the western and eastern seas be wiped out? We strolled under the cherry blossoms, and our eyes were all pink and tender, smelling the cherry blossoms, but it was another kind of cherry blossom fun. Ask, who is walking here, not obsessed, not drunk? ! Travel tips: Open time: summer 9:00-20:00; winter 9:00-17:00. Tickets: Palace Garden Combined Tickets 9 euros in summer, 7 euros in winter; 5 euros in garden summer; 3 euros in winter. At present, the interior is not open for the time being. It is recommended to go after checking the official website. Transportation: Schweizer Palace is only 10 kilometers away from Heidelberg, you can drive by yourself; or take bus 717 from Heidelberg Main Railway Station to Schweizergen Schlossplatz Station. Play strategy: Schwetzingen Palace is the closest to Heidelberg, and the itinerary is basically arranged in Heidelberg 2-day tour, such as: on the first day, Schwetzingen Palace - Neka River - Bismarck Square - Main Street; Day 2, Heidelberg Castle - Grain Square - Heidelberg Holy Spirit Cathedral - Bronze Monkey - Old Bridge - Philosopher Trail. Note: The time of cherry blossoms every year will change slightly according to the season, and the management of the garden will also record the current situation of cherry blossoms on the official website at any time, plus the Germans do not think this is an attraction, so it is best to go to the official website to check the next flowering period before setting off to enjoy the cherry.
