点评:Like fountains, Basel has several amazing squares and public gathering spaces, but this was my favorite. This is beautiful public space directly behind the Basel Minster on a terrace overlooking the Rhine River. While the Rheinufer in Klein Basel is great public space to view the river and the city, this place was the best river overlook in the city, either Klein or Gross Basel. Part of it is there is nowhere on the Rhine in Basel where you are this elevated, and part of it is nowhere else can you get such sweeping views of Klein Basel all the way to the Black Forest of Germany for free. Another thing that distinguishes the space is that it has trees which provide shade on a warm summer day.
We had the opportunity to visit the Pfalz multiple times during our visit because the views are that good. Every time we visited there were dozens of people here enjoying this place. On our first visit, after taking pictures, we descended the stairs behind it to catch the "Leu" ferry to go to the other side. That is another fun experience, see the post. It is also a fun place to watch the hundreds of Basel citizens looking to beat the heat by floating down the Rhine River, see that post. Finally, this place is made for pictures with amazing backdrops like the Middle Bridge, the Roche Towers, and the German mountains of the Schwartzwald.
This place is that good that you need to make it a priority to visit. The only thing that shocks me is that this space is so low in the rankings below other public spaces like the Marktplatz and Munsterplatz that are nice but nowhere as incredible as the Pfalz. This place is special for Basel.
翻译:和喷泉一样,巴塞尔也拥有许多令人惊叹的广场和公共集会场所,但我最喜欢的还是莱茵河广场。这个美丽的公共空间位于巴塞尔大教堂正后方,坐落在俯瞰莱茵河的露台上。虽然小巴塞尔的莱茵河喷泉(Rheinufer)是观赏河流和城市的绝佳公共空间,但这里却是巴塞尔城内(无论是小巴塞尔还是大巴塞尔)最佳的河景观景台。部分原因是,在巴塞尔的莱茵河上,没有哪个地方能像这里一样高,部分原因是,没有哪个地方能免费欣赏到小巴塞尔乃至德国黑森林的壮丽景色。这里的另一个独特之处在于,树木繁茂,在温暖的夏日里可以遮荫。
由于景色优美,我们有幸多次参观普法尔茨地区。每次我们去的时候,都能看到几十个人在这里欣赏美景。第一次去的时候,我们拍完照片后,就走下莱茵河后面的楼梯,乘坐“列伊”号渡轮前往对岸。这也是一次有趣的体验,请参阅帖子。这里也是观看数百名巴塞尔市民在莱茵河上漂流避暑的好去处,请参阅帖子。最后,这个地方非常适合拍照,拥有令人惊叹的背景,例如中桥、罗氏塔和德国黑森林山脉。
这个地方太棒了,你一定要优先去参观。唯一让我震惊的是,这里的排名竟然低于其他公共场所,例如集市广场和明斯特广场,它们虽然也不错,但远不及普法尔茨地区那么令人惊叹。这个地方对巴塞尔来说很特别。
