Green grass rich place — Germany town Wessel (2) author: Leisuremann 3. Rhine (Rheinpromenade) from the Cathedral to the West after a residential area is a Boulevard. Tall trees on both sides, many crows nest. An insight into the front end of the road, a big river, the Rhine River. This section of the Rhine River flows into the open, to the Netherlands in the Northwest. The Rhine is an important water routes, often have large barges to and from the road. Wessel on the outskirts of the river for about five or six hundred meters are good finished, along a row of tall deciduous tree, the tree is a little lower River is located next to cement the pavement, wooden chairs and wood benches, called Rheinpromenade (or can be translated into the Rhine riparian trail), is a good place for the locals for a walk, I was very fond of the place. Every time I come to Wessel, who lived in a city, a time will come here on several occasions, in walking meditation breezy look Rhine River quietly. River opposite is Wessel, a suburb name Buederich. The other side of the River flat, a duration of swamp grass. Rhine River every spring water level to rise, this clearing may wish for discharge. In Riverside walking road begins, there is a cross the Rhine River, about 2 km from the railway bridge. This bridge was built in 1874. In March 1945 in Allied bombing Wessel, the German army to stop the Allied Oriental, blew up the bridge itself. As a result of post-war railway diversions, no further reconstruction of bridge, River remaining piers for the convenience of shipping has been clear in 1968, but both sides of the roadbed arched structure approach and also as a reminder of the "war" of a site. Walking along the road beside the river pier are converted into commands Rhein's Lookout, iron ladder next set. At the second bridge on the river side of granite, you can still see the crater left by the numerous, large-diameter around with 10cm. One day when I was on the crater and on this picture, a local old man smiled and lead me to read this other side of the bridge piers. Originally engraved with the Rhine water level records when daxun, indicate next to each of the incised year month day. Remember the highest incised in off the ground about 1.7 meters above the sea, really makes me on the Rhine a new light. Rhine River spring flood I met once. The river walk is all submerged, the water level fast approaching high road, River trees only revealed the top. That year I go by train from Munich Wessel, via Rhine, see floods seriously, many coastal housing bottom didn't even in water. Rhine River not far away from the broken bridge stands a tall red and white steel antenna. It is also a famous building Wessel, because it is Germany a limited number of one of the tallest buildings: 320.8 meters high, was built in 1968, for FM and tV's transmitting antenna. Rhine River road there is a pier, a regular parking a cruise River called the "Lady". This boat has a Mississippi River and old ship style, appearance is beautiful, a Crown-shaped chimneys, Stern has dialed the turbine. It is in the public service of the voyage plan seems to be on an annual basis, depending on the season and holidays but there are different. Navigation program on the Terminal side of small tiehe, free of charge. The farthest north to the Netherlands, to the South to Düsseldorf, most recently to Xanten (an ancient Roman monuments of the town). Not opening up to the date for booking car rental services. Cruise Terminal a-West inside is a 1999 built a beautiful 4-star hotel "Welcome Hotel" (I had the pleasure in this occupancy). Further to the West is a forest. Forest side as the Rhine, on the other side is a short Rhine Hong Kong Branch, parking with a lot of pleasure craft. Next to the Yacht Club, swimming pool, tennis court and miniature golf (Minigolf), and other recreational sports venues. 4. Meadows Airport and Meadow Lake (Auesee) in the Rhine riparian North, West to the Yacht Harbour is a patch of grassland, Wessel's glider field. Every weekend, here's busy: a glider on the ground after tractor dragging acceleration, and then launch a small parachute drop the traction cable. Glider in the sky like a bird, silently glide, circling to land. There is also a small sport aircraft, rumbling sound of the engine, running up and down. Aviation enthusiasts have flight Club, located in the subgrade of the broken bridge, the Arch of the subgrade was transformed into a room and on small aircraft in the warehouse. Small aircraft wing removable, integration can be installed in the form of the towed trailer or stored in a warehouse under the bridge. Airport grassland in the usual quiet, sometimes with sheep graze the partition. Airport on the grass height is required, use the rotation grazing, partition the sheep to control the height of the grass is one second. The airport has a small lake in the Northwest, the thing is about 2 km North-South about 1.5 km, named Auesee. Aue in German-Italian "Meadow, pasture," but See can be interpreted as a sea or Lake (unlike the ' sea ' in Chinese, sometimes refers to the Lake, where the Zhongnanhai, the North Sea and in the ' sea of Jiuzhaigou '). Since then the name of the Lake again here in history really is known as the green grass. Auesee (Meadow Lake) and is a good place for leisure and sport. Meadow Lake's eastern end with one covered with yellow sand beach of artificial lake, is the natural swimming pool. Wessel's summer is usually not too hot. According to my diary, a year in August and temperatures of 20-25 degrees, has a, only 14-20 degrees. But where's the weather changes quickly, sometimes at high pressure control in the region, the temperature will flee to 30 degrees above (not more than 35 degrees). At this time, local people will feel hot joy, they go away on holiday for the summer. Have a hot weekend, Meadow Lake, natural swimming pool edges of beaches and sea grass, resting under the awning, lying sunbathing enjoy rare; in the Lake floating inflatable raft, lifebuoy, filled with swimming and playing in the water of the old and young. The car stopped hundreds of cars, the cars are constantly coming down crowds cheered for men, women and children. People also play in grass Lake diving. One evening, I'm enjoying the fall day light reflected by the Lake. Smooth surface of the Lake a few ducks at a distance to swim, wipe the flashes of the water. Near my lake water level, next to the Lake suddenly surging up and then out of the water out two wearing bulkyDiving apparatus and diving suit diver. Go ashore and, when they shed their equipment, the original is a father and daughter--amateur diving enthusiast, I. 5. a dyke road and camping ground at the north end of grassland airport is an Earth Dam, beginning from the city along the Rhine River flows through the grass Lake aspire West of the South to the distance. Flat top of the embankment as a path that is Wessel jogging and biking, residents and wear Skate skating daily fitness activities in one place (around grass Lake path have the same purpose). Wessel's summer days are long and the Sun to eight until around it to slip into the horizon, to the point is black. My summer in Wessel is to hire a bicycle at the hotel, except for work than a car, in the evening you can ride a bike in the dam road, Department for a drive. On the one hand, breathing the fresh air in the wild, and on the other hand, can also be familiar with the surrounding environment. Once I'd ride along the Embankment Road West for about half an hour south of dykes, found that there is a camping ground. Get a look, there are simple rooms, tent and caravan, an estimated several hundred people here camping holiday. Camping ground in roads and orderly, big Street with a row of small shops provided daily. Campsite next to River, this is the ancient Rhine River. A river in addition to the tent and car, there are a lot of pleasure craft. Wessel is located in the lower Rhine region. Niederrhein region of flat, plenty of rain, a lot of small river puts on the class, with Lakes, meadows, pastures and Woods, a green wilderness scenery. There are many historic towns and castles, with the exception of Wessel, Xanten, Kleve, Kevelaer, Germany, so many people especially urban residents love to this camping holiday. 6. traditional festivals and activities Wessel's shop, in addition to the catering industry (hotels, coffee shops, etc.) typically every day in the afternoon before closing at seven, after 2 pm on Saturday and Sunday. In shop opening hours street pedestrian nor too many shops shopping environment is very good, was never crowded. But I am in this ten years also met many street very lively scene, it was at a local festival or something, I'm not aware of the specific day. 1. Christmas Christmas is the largest Festival in the West. A December company colleagues would have begun preparing for the new year holiday, so in December we generally do not travel to Germany. But there is one year, beginning of December a meeting of the provisional asked me to go. The day the Wessel's Sunday, but see usually deserted streets is completely difference. Pedestrian street lined with shops in the middle of the street as open, also put up a string of cabins and tents constitute temporary shops hang lights-Famille, the sale of a variety of Christmas gifts and supplies. Adults and children full of streets, a welcoming atmosphere of the Festival. 2. Spring Festival (Fruehlingsfest) the first weekend in April is the Spring Festival. And the Chinese new year is in the winter is the Spring Festival, it is a real Spring Festival. In addition to the shops are open, for celebration.

Later they set in the Cathedral Plaza, queue, to the walking Street is also probably mark a historic event. In 2007, it is said that celebration every year, new topics, such as the 2007 Festival in Wessel placed 111 all kinds of ass (Esel), but unfortunately I did not have the Wessel, see this grand occasion. 3. hansa section (Hansefest) previously mentioned Wessel in 15 century is the European Union for the hansa business in a major city.

One of the male dancer wears a like Shaoxing farmers often wear different hats on the tops have inserted a metal spoon as decoration, still have the impression. 4. Carnival and circus Wessel is a small place, nothing major theatrical performances and amusement. The concert performance watching can only go to the nearby larger cities, such as I have colleagues who should be invited to Germany Duisburg participated in an open-air concert. But there are also some touring activities came to Wessel. These activities began before few months around the Wessel region posted the poster. Once in a year in April/May. Wessel's Cathedral square and the nearby Kornmarkt square and the pedestrian street in the middle-ground installed large turntable, high vertical lifting and other large facilities and pirate ship, disc Trojans and other children's play facilities.
