Tadih Gallery: 天堂的名字叫Königssee

巴伐利亚之旅——第四辑：天堂之旅
The trip in the state of Bavaria 4
Die Reise in dem Bundesland Bayern 4

放假半个月了才迎来一个真正意义上的旅游，先是为了一个理想的天气而等待，然后又是为该去哪玩而犹豫不决，现在又陷入了没人同行的尴尬，真是纳闷为什么身处一个五彩缤纷的世界里却有如此多的人不为所动，宁可将自己锁在屋子里。没心情去计较那么多了，抛开一切人为干扰，我们决定周六去领略真正的大自然。

现在唯一悬而未决的就是德国多变的天气，更何况是在变幻莫测的山区。一开始，阴雨绵绵的天空的确让人气馁，苦苦等待的一天似乎还是一个失败的选择。但是接下来发生在贝希特斯加登的一切给人看到了希望。东阿尔卑斯山地清澈的绿色丝毫不会被阴暗的天气遮住光彩，渐渐地想起了这样一个贴切的标题：天堂的名字叫Königssee.

这里因绿而闻名，满山遍野的郁郁葱葱似乎让人联想到桂林山水，但是雄壮魁梧的阿尔卑斯轮廓以及笔挺高大的亚寒带针叶林木还是不断提醒您这是独一无二的欧洲山地风光，天堂就一个，他的名字叫Königssee。

这里环境的洁净堪称典范。你简直无法相信工业化的今天在开放了100多年的旅游区还会有如此清洁的天然水资源，水晶般见底的湖水可以直接饮用！为了做到这一点游船早在1909年就使用电力驱动，避免油污。湖内的St.Bartholomä教堂和餐馆的排放全部被引到湖区以外的地方，就是这个占地210平方公里的国家公园周边的广袤地区都禁止人为开发利用，一切都要还以大自然本来的面目。所以这里所有生物的生长，新老交替都是在近乎与世隔绝的环境下进行的。

可惜天堂的旅行却不完美。因为很多景点关闭的太早，以至于我们没能坐缆车到达Jenner峰，错过了在阿尔卑斯山上一览欧洲壮丽山川的机会，而没能亲眼一睹希特勒那座雄伟的鹰巢则是此行的另一缺憾。但愿有朝一日还能有机会继续这个未完的天堂之旅。

We have to celebrate this day - August 13, 2005, when we finally had the real journey. But waiting for such a day was kind of difficult. The bad weather over the past weekends, where to go was hard to finalize, at last we ran into the trouble that many people quit the plan, which almost aborted this trip. No time to consider too much, so we put everything behind us, and decided to go, otherwise we would have regret. The destination is one of the famous lakes in Germany- Königssee(King's Lake).

Because of the changeable weather in Germany, especially in the alpland, it is not possible to believe the weather forecast. The weather was not good as we imagined it would. The rainy day at the beginning made me discouraged, maybe the day would prove to be a bad choice again. But what happened in the rest of the day brought us hope. The emerald-green world will never be affected by the cloudy sky. "Königssee - Paradise has a name", this is the best title I can find which matches the lake perfectly.

The lake even has drinking-water quality! The super clean lake and its surroundings provide us the environmental education, where you are able to see the original look of nature. You will probably ask yourself how this would happen in the industrialized era, the wonderful place does exist, where the nature's development is left to run its own way without interference from outside. In order to protect environment, since 1909, all boats are powered by batteries, besides, the waste produced from St. Bartholomä and restaurant is piped out of the lake district, this preserves the cleanliness and silence of the lake. Even the land exploitation in peripheral zone of the national park is forbidden, the aim is to prevent everything in the park from possible negative influence.

It is a pity that we missed some worth-being-visited places due to early close, like the Mount Jenner where we could share the beautiful view to the whole national park, as well as the Eagle's nest which was given to Hitler as a gift for his 50th birthday. Hopefully we have the chance to continue the fantastic paradise trip in the future.
