Records of the scenic spots in the Palace Gardens and English Parks
⋅ The Palace Garden (Hofgarten)
The Palace Garden (Hofgarten) was built in the 17th century and is an architectural work of the end of the Italian Renaissance. There is a Bavarian Diana pavilion in the garden, which leads to different directions along eight exit paths. However, it was destroyed during the Second World War. The reconstruction was completed after the war. If you plan your itinerary, you can also pay attention to the black granite and white rose monument in the garden, which records the non-violent movement against Hitler's regime.
▲ Maybe the sunshine is rare, everyone is lying on the turf to bask in the sun.
▲The goddess statue is on the roof.
▲ It is not a problem to bring children and babies to play.
▲ Almost the whole family is out to enjoy leisure time.
⋅ Japanisches Teehaus
At that time, I felt quite familiar with the planting and garden landscaping. With a few red leaves at the door, I stopped and stayed. I have never seen whether the teahouse is open or not. It is a pity that it was tasted in this fine weather. Enjoying the scenery with tea, the situation and atmosphere are very good.
⋅ Ice Brook City Surfing (Mini Eisbachwelle@The Ice Brook)
Munich is located in southern Germany. Unlike North Germany, which is near the sea or Taiwan is surrounded by the sea, it is hard for surfers to find a place to practice. However, it was unexpected that there is such a fast and good place for surfing in the English park.Seeing the surfers in formal dress and waiting in line with wave boards, the people on the stream showed their talents to attract everyone to watch and admire.
▲ The water flow is fast and bursts of spray are rising at the scene.
▲ Wait in line one by one.
▲ This big brother is agile, really amazing!
▲ The cabin sells coffee and light meals.
⋅ Park lawn (Monopteroswiese)
In the warm autumn sun, ride a bicycle to choose a good turf mat and sit on the floor. There are couples, singles, and families. They are either outdoor sports or watching with a book. No one is using their phones!When I traveled to Germany, I accidentally discovered that many people seldom use mobile phones to read books and magazines, whether it is on the train or in a coffee shop. Even three or five friends gather and chat to the fullest, but no one looks down on Facebook or uses social tool apps.
Therefore, the children here are running and playing on the turf as much as they want, and their parents are sitting on the ground watching and playing, or they may participate in sports together.
▲ The Germans really enjoy the sun, while the four of us Taiwanese hide in the shade of the trees.
Leisure time in an English park
We spent the whole afternoon walking in the Englischer Garten. These sceneries are also a small part of the park. The whole area is about 3.7 kilometers, which is bigger than New York Central Park. I really have to challenge to walk the whole way, I might be able to ride on bicycles. Now.Inheriting the surfing stream, some children were playing in the water, Wendy and I could not help taking off our shoes and trying to bubble our feet, enjoying the cold and clear water of the stream.
▲ The stream is so cold that I didn't dare to soak in one breath at the first time. (cold)
▲ The Germans have a leisurely afternoon.
▲ Challenge walking route this time.
Conclusion
When you take a trip to Germany, you will find that their living environment is full of "green spaces". Mothers in Munich don't worry about no place near their homes. They allow children to play in nature and "exhaust physical energy". All kinds of large and small parks have their own running and frolicking. The way they get along with their children in English Parks, frankly makes me envious.
Once, I seriously thought about moving away from my current residence, just to give Little Hamburg a green space to grow, instead of worrying about the traffic and the outside world after going downstairs, and enjoying the childhood environment we once had.After visiting the English Parks, Taiwan has improved the social welfare system for the children, and the green leisure environment is the next step.
