点评:Schloss Braunfels (Braunfels Castle) has been a special place for me ever since elementary school, when I first visited on a class excursion. Years later I didn’t remember much other than how much I'd enjoyed the castle back then. Having moved away from Hesse, I’ve made an effort to return and explore the region, and Schloss Braunfels again was at the top of my list.
In recent years, I’ve toured the castle three more times, with a different guide each time. Each of the guides was engaging, sharing fascinating facts about the castle and keeping the group interested throughout the tour. The castle itself is gorgeous, full of history, and well-preserved, making it a pleasure to explore.
I also highly recommend visiting the café and souvenir shop, as well as taking a stroll through the castle garden. One highlight therr is the Friendship Tree, planted by the mayor of Braunfels, Germany, and the mayor of New Braunfels, Texas, USA. It was fun to learn that New Braunfels was named after this very German town, thanks to Prince Carl of Solms-Braunfels and the Society for the Protection of German Immigrants in Texas back in 1845.
Whether you’re a fan of castles, a history buff, or just looking for a lovely spot to spend a day, Schloss Braunfels is definitely worth a visit. Every visit feels fresh, adds something new, and I can’t wait to return again.
翻译:自从小学第一次参加班级旅行参观布劳恩费尔斯城堡(Schloss Braunfels)以来,它对我来说一直是一个特别的地方。多年以后,除了当时多么喜欢这座城堡之外,我几乎记不清其他了。离开黑森州后,我努力重返故地,探索这片区域,而布劳恩费尔斯城堡再次成为我的首选。
近年来,我又参观了这座城堡三次,每次都有不同的导游。每位导游都引人入胜,分享着关于城堡的有趣知识,让整个旅程都充满乐趣。城堡本身美轮美奂,历史悠久,保存完好,探索起来也是一种享受。
我还强烈推荐参观城堡里的咖啡馆和纪念品商店,以及在城堡花园里漫步。城堡的一大亮点是友谊树,它由德国布劳恩费尔斯市长和美国德克萨斯州新布朗费尔斯市长共同种植。得知新布朗费尔斯 (New Braunfels) 的名字来源于这座德国小镇,真是太有趣了。这要感谢1845年索尔姆斯-布朗费尔斯的卡尔王子和德克萨斯州德国移民保护协会。
无论您是城堡爱好者、历史爱好者,还是只想找个好地方消磨一天时光,布朗费尔斯城堡 (Schloss Braunfels) 都绝对值得一游。每次造访都令人耳目一新,收获新体验,我迫不及待地想再次造访。
