Europe trip 1509

24th Aug., 2009 – the 8th day – Lindau (Germany) > Bregenz(Austria) > Kempten (Germany)

早上, 我們離開 Lindau 港口,

林道(Lindau)是德國巴伐利亞州的城市,位於博登湖東岸的島上,德國、奧地利瑞士三國的交界處。林道是一座旅遊城市,是德國南部「阿爾卑斯山之路」的起點,最具特色的是它以阿爾卑斯山為背景的港口燈塔和代表巴伐利亞的獅子雕塑

Lindau 港口開車離開這小島時, 看到街道旁建有 圍牆, 圍牆內是住屋.

開去 Bregenz :

Bregenz is the capital of Vorarlberg, the westernmost federal state of Austria. The city is located on the eastern shores of Lake Constance, the third-largest freshwater lake in Central Europe, between Switzerland in the west and Germany in the northwest.

The city is situated on a plateau falling in a series of terraces to the lake at the foot of Pfänder mountain. It is a junction of the arterial roads from the Rhine valley to the German Alpine foothills, with cruise ship services on Lake Constance.

Bregenz is twinned with Bangor in Northern Ireland, and various exchange trips take place between the two places. Another twin town is Acre in Israel.

It is especially famous for the annual summer music festival Bregenzer Festspiele.

因為Lindau 與 Bregenz 相隔不遠, 又是在 Lake Constance 上,  只是因為 Lake Constance 分屬3個國家 (德國, 奧地利和瑞士).  而Lindau是屬德國, Bregenz是屬奧地利.

在一間超市, 看到了環保回收箱:

第一個回收長方機器, 是回收可再用的玻璃樽(下圖再說明之).  第2個海豚回收箱是回收透明玻璃樽.  第3個青蛙回收箱是回收 Tin can 錫罐.  第4個海豚回收箱是回收有色玻璃樽.  第四個是明顯是報紙收集箱了.

回收可再用的玻璃樽機器:  上面那個圓黑色的地方是放一隻樽的.  下面四方黑色的地方是放整範回收樽的.  可以拿回退樽錢的.    而指出說明招紙, 指出你必須打開膠樽塞, " RICHTIG – means right” 即要如圖打開塞盍.   "FALSCH – means wrong” 即如圖般沒有打開樽盍是錯的.

到了 Kempten

"Kempten im Allgäu is the largest city in Allgäu, a region in the south-west of Bavaria, Germany. Population was c. 61,000 in 2006. The area was possibly settled originally by Celts, but was later overtaken by the Romans, who called the town Cambodunum. Archaeologists consider Kempten one of the oldest urban settlements in Germany.
