The Historical City Centre of Aschaffenburg














FuFu Life in Frankfurt - Part Twenty One
23rd April 2010 | Aschaffenburg - Bayern


The amazing Schloss Johannisburg.


After the picnic, we walked around the inner city.

If you are looking for different kinds of landscape and an excellent choice of cultural and recreational offers, then Aschaffenburg is the place to go. Its landscape, climate and forests with 171,000 ha of outstanding natural beauty provide an excellent background for recreation. The parks in Aschaffenburg is very popular and always packed with people especially at the weekends.

Besides the town's landmark, the Königstein Castle ruins, other buildings are worth seeing in Aschaffenburg. The historical city centre is quaint and dainty. The paths and alleys provide a quiet alternative to the crowded pedestrian zone of the historical city centre that worth to walk around. The streets are clean and the peaceful parks made me wanna stay longer.

So after exploring around the vintage city centre, we had a layover at the historical English landscape garden that blessed with a wealth of ancient trees in the middle of the city create the enchanting atmosphere. Strolling around, spending time on the grass with friends, enjoying the sun, getting lost in the maze, are among the many options we enjoyed very much. People usually come here for a quiet lunch break or family picnic on sunny days.
























































































































Next destination was Schönbusch garden.


































FuFu loves to lay down on the lawn!












Naughty, naughty, naughty!






























Back to the bus terminal.




Train going to Wiesbaden will depart late.


Gotta wait for the next and faster regional train.




Going back to Frankfurt by the group+day ticket.


Finally the train bound for Frankfurt had arrived.


The little one didn't willing to leave.






Latin Americans really love beer.






Arrived Frankfurt at around 7.30pm. Still very bright.

The modern church is quite interesting.

富富,
对啦,马来半岛只有两国人,一国是狮人,一国是虎人。虎人也是马人,但是虎人较正确。

哈哈哈~~~

shloke said...

Fufu said "The streets are clean..." That's what I'm looking for in Malaysia's parks, garden and waterfalls.

It's a beautiful town indeed. I noticed every buildings had it's own unique design and architecture. Different yet mesmerizng. Reminds me of the pre-war buildings in Ipoh :)

The weeding figurines are CUTE!!! Love the upside down C-shaped smiles.

The group photo (with sakura? flowers on the background) is AWESOME!

Cheers!

fufu said...

嘿嘿 : 原來如此... 但是很少人知道馬來西亞就是虎... 還有新加坡就是獅子也不是很多外國人知道罷了....


shloke : yeah we really need to inject these thinkings into every citizen's mind, clean, organised and love the nature :) but we are a bit slow and weak ><

erm the architecture here all very different... because they want to be unique with each other... probably!! :) which i think is good... unlike our rows of shop-houses

the the flower is magnolia :) nice right? hahaha well i made the flowers with the pedals of magnolia... with the weeding :) creative right?
