欧洲游2- 小镇篇 Cesky Krumlov & Hallstatt


说到欧洲的小镇, 相信大家对Hallstatt 应该不陌生, 近年来都会看到这个号称世界最美的小镇的照片被上载到社交媒体上。 很幸运的它就坐于澳地利, 和我这次的行程刚好能够搭上钩。 当然还有Cesky Krumlov (简称CK Town)一个 如时光倒流回17世纪的童话小镇。
不管是Hallstatt还是CK Town都是被列为世界文化遗产的小镇。 既然我已经来到了东欧, 如果不把这两个小镇安排再我的行程中, 岂能对得起自己。




先来回顾一下我的欧洲行程 Itinerary:
Singapore> Prague > Cesky Krumlov > Hallstatt > Budapest > Rome, Vatican > Prague > Singapore
1)   Prague CK Town 是搭 Student Agency Bus 我搭的是最早的一趟是9.30am, 抵达CK是中午12.15pm。订票网址  http://studentagencybus.com/order_en 票价大约是EUR6.00 (超值)
2)  CK Town住上一晚,  第二天早上8.25am10人载的Van Hallstatt 抵达Hallstatt已经是中午12.25pm 订票网址http://www.cesky-krumlov-hallstatt-transport.info/en/,  票价是一人 CZK1,000 (=SGD64.00) CK HALLSTATT 我找不到其他的交通, 就只能搭10人载的Van, 有点贵呢!


Cesky Krumlov

Cesky Krumlov克鲁姆洛是离布拉格三小时车程的捷克小镇, 建于1250, 并在16世纪整个CK将文艺复兴的精神运用到建筑上。 全城最新的两座建筑是在19世纪建的, 所以这里依然维持中世纪的模样。  走入CK Town就有如穿越时空 回到中世纪的童话小镇。儿时的我们都会有一本硬纸皮的童话故事书,而这里就像故事书里的某个小镇,里面住着灰姑娘或其他童话故事人物。

从布拉格的Florenc车站到CK大概是3小时的车程。现在回想起来有点后悔. 应该订早一点巴士, CK时已经是中午十二点多, check in 来再吃一下lunch都已经1点多了。 由于冬天日落时间是下午3点多, 所以我就只有两个小时来逛这里,  也只能走马看花, 虽然有住上一晚, 但第二天早上8.00就要离开到Hallstatt  这里的夜晚较为宁静, 吃了晚餐后, 也只能回酒店休息。幸好凌晨4点的一场雪, 把我们大家从睡梦中叫醒。坦白说我长到这把年纪,还是第一次看到下雪呢!原来雪花真的是六角形的!因为是凌晨4点, 小镇也就只有我们几个白痴, 为了看雪而四处乱逛。你们能想象吗, 中古的童话小镇飘着雪, 那有多么的像梦幻。

Located in the South Bohemia region of the Czech Republic, Cesky Krumlov is one of the most picturesque towns in Europe. It is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Renaissance and baroque architecture line the streets of this quaint quiet town. If you are looking for respite from the hustle and bustle of Prague, Cesky Krumlov is definitely a great alternative.

There are many small lanes that circulates around this small town, but the best way to explore is definitely by foot, and it is definitely worth the walk. Many shops with eye-catching window displays will definitely entice you to enter and view their wide range of handcrafted offering on top of the conventional souvenirs the shop has to offer. From the colorful figuring’s to the cute little dolls, there’s definitely something for everyone. 

We stayed for a night in this small town and woke up at 4am just to see the snow for our very first time. I could just sit all day and be mesmerized by the snowfall at this quaint peaceful fairy tale town.







 



 

Hallstatt
Hallstatt 中文叫哈爾施塔特, 它是奧地利的一个湖光山色小村落。由于行程逼急的关系,我在Hallstatt只逗留4个小时。其实它就是一个小村落,从头走到尽大概就只是15分钟的时间,但由于风景甚美才会让人流连忘返。 这一天,雪没停过,一直下。感谢老天的眷顾,让我这个没见过下雪的大男孩,能够体会雪中漫步,享受在这么壮光的雪景中。背景有雪山,中景有色彩缤纷的房屋,前景的湖有野鸭天鹅,加上这漫天飞雪,绝了!如果时间充裕的话您可以坐缆车前往山顶观景台参观, 站在高高岗上俯瞰山下的湖光山色。
Hallstatt 的入口有个游客中心,你可以以付款来寄放行李(但好像周末没营业)。如果是选择搭火车离开, 必须要在Hallstatt 的末端搭轮船到对岸的火车站。但是如果是已经把行李寄放在游客中心, 却有点麻烦, 必须要回到入口取回行李再回到末端搭轮船离开。
 
Halstatt is a UNESCO lakeside town straddled between the captivating mountains and the calm waters of the lake halstatt. There are many 16th century alpine houses that are scattered along this scenic town.

Due to the tight schedule, I made a short stopover at Halstatt for 4 hours while I was on the way from Cesky Krumlov in Czech Republic heading to Budapest, Hungary. Even though Halstatt is a very small town, the panaromic view with the snow drizzling down makes you want to stay there longer. Even though you can walk from one end of the town to the other side within half an hour, the breathtaking view will definitely make this journey longer. You will be in awe with the view especially when it is snowing. It felt like I was transported into another world, and no words can describe the euphoria in me to experience snowfall in this beautiful town. The snow covered mountain, colourful vintage houses lining the lake and pristine white swans beautify the calm waters of the lake. What else you could ask for, it felt like I was in heaven. If you want to get a bird's eye view of Halstatt, you may take the funicular railway up to the skywalk.

If your tugging your luggage along, I suggest you drop it off at the Visitor Centre which is located at the entrance of the town. It is closed in weekends and there is a nominal fees to store your luggage which is very reasonable. I left Halstatt by train in which i had to cross the lake as the station was on the other side. The jetty was located at the other end of the town and there is a small fee for the boat ride. Do take note of the timing of the boat so as not to miss your train. It was a secluded train station and there was no staff to ask around. Therefore it is best to be on time and board the right train!
