点评:I enjoyed my visit to the Reichsburg Cochem very much. It's a beautiful castle with an interesting history, and I loved that it retains the feeling of being a castle that people actually lived in rather than just an empty relic. It was the summer house for a rich businessman in the 19th century, and is full of the Renaissance and Baroque furniture he collected and used there.
The castle is very close to town so it is possible to walk there, but it is at the top of a steep hill so I recommend taking the 701 bus to get there. Even with the bus there is a fairly steep walk up the last part of the hill to the castle itself but my 85-year-old father managed it fine.
The only way to visit is on one of the regular tours. Most tours are in German, and only one English tour was available on the day I was there (at 12:30pm, ticket price 10€) and the number of English tours varies based on demand so it's hard to know in advance when they are. I'm sure you could call to ask, the ticket staff all spoke excellent English.
We were early for our tour so we spent an hour waiting in the castle restaurant next to the ticket office. The coffee and food there was very good, we particularly enjoyed their Schwarzwälder cake which was fresh and not too sweet.
The 45 minute tour itself was enjoyable, with lots of good stories about the castle and plenty of opportunities to take photos. It gets a bit crowded in some of the rooms so it can be hard to take photos of the castle interiors without lots of people in the way, but perhaps that encouraged me to see it with my own eyes instead of through a camera lens. It's not a very long tour and so we don't see everything in the castle, but it's enough to get a good feeling for it and was really all I needed.
翻译:我非常享受参观科赫姆帝国城堡的旅程。这座美丽的城堡有着引人入胜的历史,我很喜欢它保留了人们真正居住过的感觉,而不是一座空荡荡的遗迹。它曾是19世纪一位富商的避暑别墅,里面摆满了他收集和使用过的文艺复兴和巴洛克风格的家具。
城堡离城镇很近,所以可以步行前往,但它位于一座陡峭的山顶,所以我建议乘坐701路公交车前往。即使乘坐公交车,爬上山坡的最后一段路也相当陡峭,但我85岁的父亲还是顺利地完成了。
参观城堡的唯一方式是参加常规的导览游。大多数导览游都是德语的,我去的那天只有一次英语导览游(下午12:30,票价10欧元),而且英语导览游的数量会根据需求而变化,所以很难提前知道具体时间。我相信你可以打电话问问,售票员的英语都很棒。
我们去参观的时间比较早,所以在售票处旁边的城堡餐厅等了一个小时。那里的咖啡和食物都很棒,我们特别喜欢他们的黑森林蛋糕,新鲜又不会太甜。
45分钟的参观过程本身很有趣,有很多关于城堡的精彩故事,也有很多拍照的机会。有些房间有点拥挤,很难拍到没有太多人挡路的城堡内部照片,但也许正是因为这样,我才更愿意用眼睛去看,而不是通过相机镜头。这次参观的时间不长,所以我们没能看完城堡的所有景点,但这足以让我们对城堡有个大致的了解,而且真的满足了我的所有需求。
