The European crossroads.
The European crossroads.
We continue the story about a trip on the car to Europe. Today
It will be a question of Germany, an original European crossroads.
From here your way can lay in any of nine adjoining with it
The countries.
To lay in any of nine countries adjoining on it.
Are expensive to Remind of known quality of roads of Germany
Unduly. It is better to note their one more advantage: on the German
avtobanah which length makes 11 thousand kilometres, it is not necessary
To pay for journey. You estimate this important advantage, when
Will get to France, Spain, Italy and other European countries.
To be frightened avtobanov of that who about them only heard, it is not necessary.
After our roads you will be morally and to have a rest physically.
Usually at avtobana three lanes plus separated the continuous
Strip reserve extreme right (about counter movement not
We speak, it is separated by chippers or forest belts). On number
Strips and three high-speed streams. To begin with become in the right number:
Having accustomed and having felt a rhythm in two others, will be reconstructed.
However, not to hinder an extreme left number, to you
Something is required in the spirit of Porsche.
Having chosen a strip to yourselves on taste, you can drive on it
The half-countries. It is not necessary to you, as on our roads, to be reconstructed
From a number abreast, someone constantly to overtake and go round the standing
Cars. Even to be switched to other transfer it will not be necessary
Hours. Unless the repair site and a yellow tape will get
Time marking will withdraw you in other number.
Many our motorists consider, that in Germany are not present
High-speed restriction on highways. It not absolutely so: on
German banah on eyes huge signs constantly come across with
In the maximum resolved speed. An another matter, that the resolved
On them speed can be very impressive and not everyone
The domestic car is capable to realise it.
Restrictions of speed are removed only on some sites
avtobanov.
Be not tempted "sokrashchenkoj" even if to you will seem on
To map, that on a hypotenuse you will reach faster, than on two legs of a triangle.
Geometry laws here do not operate. Even having made a small hook
On avtobanu, you will arrive earlier to the necessary point, than winding on
To minor roads. After all avtoban it is good not only that on
Him it is possible to develop the big speed, but also that, it is what is it expensive
Without crossings. To let someone pass and to waste time for it
It is not necessary.
If follow through Germany transit you have enough
To have a map of roads of this country in scale 1:750 000; if
Will call in in large cities do not stint atlases
Cities (Stadtatlas) under edition of German autoclub ADAC. In
Such atlas plans of several large cities are usually given and
In detail their vicinities with schemes of road outcomes.
Refuellings On avtobanah the tidy refuellings painted in the bright
Colours, come across through everyone to steam of tens kilometres. At
Entrance at the gas station the tablets specifying, where can be established
To follow diesel and petrol cars. Unlike
Refuellings of other countries an inscription "Benzin" at the German gas stations in transfer
Does not require.
The prices for fuel in Germany are specified in unusual
Three-value figures - not in stamps, and in pfennigah. On the average gasoline
Costs, in dependence oktanovogo numbers, from 1,65 to 1,75 DM,
diztoplivo - 1,3 DM.
Independently having filled the car, remember the sum,
Shown on the column display, also go to pay off in a building
The gas station (sometimes an input from an opposite side). There behind a rack
Minishop name, if can, column number if is not present
The cashier himself will understand - you only the sum check, that
Has converged (the last actually only at the big gas station, where
Simultaneously some cars) refuel.
While you pay off, your partner can take from a column
Brush to dip into cleaning liquid and to wipe a windshield and
Headlights. Do not wait, that any boys will run up and will start to wash to you
Glasses. In Germany at the gas station self-service.
Public catering I Advise to learn or well to remember, where in German
Phrase book names of dishes are written. We, for example, in cafe on
avtobanah did not see, that their names in the menu were duplicated on
English.
Visiting of roadside cafes because of a low rouble exchange rate
It turns out very expensive. It is less than dish in cost 10 DM - big
Rarity. However, apparently, the chief-salad costs around nine
Stamps. I recommend it to try. If will master a huge plate
With several kinds of greens, eggs and a ham, a little
Hundreds kilometres of a way will not recollect meal.
Hotels In the centre of the big cities gifts are much more expensive,
Than in suburbs or on a line. If to you will offer the single
Number for 60 DM can not waste time on searches of others
Variants - it is difficult to find more cheaply. From you also can take
Some stamps from above which will return after returning of a key from
Numbers (at calculation it is not out of place to remind employees, that behind hotel
Debt).
In the big roadside motels be not surprised, if instead of
Habitual service of placing will see the lady sitting behind cash desk
Self-service cafe. To it also address. Especially do not hope on
The knowledge of English, is better to learn or write down the short German
Phrases about quantity of numbers necessary to you, term of residing,
Costs a day (at them speak: for a night - "about naht").
At settlement specify, whether the breakfast enters into cost of number.
If are not strong in German, ogranichtes a short question: "Meath
frjushtjuk? "(" with a breakfast? "). If want, that conveniences in number
Were full, instead of partial (the shower always is in number, even
If it is a glass booth in size with a wardrobe, and here
Other conveniences, even in not cheap hotel, can be in a corridor),
Ask: "Huts das tsimmer ajne toalete?" Language is better for knowing
Some days of travel on the safe country can
To weaken our motorist. Especially absence on everyone
To step of stationary posts of local GAI. But not to face with
Impressive in recalculation on our money penalties, it is necessary to be
Very attentive and correct.
Parking in the resolved place, attentively look on
Tablets under signs - can, you unintentionally attempt upon a place,
Taken away for cars of invalids. While will be in a supermarket
To outfit, for the sacred rights of invalids will stand up evakuator and
In a trice will tow off your iron friend on penal parking.
Such parking will manage to you in 80 stamps of the penalty (as well as unwillingness
To be fastened by seat belts).
Meet with evakuatorom your car can and in a case,
If you leave it in a sign operative range "Parking is forbidden".
You will leave thirty stamps or five-ten, if yours
The car has created hindrances to movement. If the car stays more
Hour per such place to lay out to you 50 and 75 stamps is necessary already
Accordingly. The stop in not put place will manage to you
More cheaply: from 20 to 30 stamps.
Rushing on the big speed on excellent roads, it is necessary to remember,
That not only excess of the resolved speed involves
Penal sanctions - to thousand stamps! - but also non-observance
Safe distance to going ahead of the car (the safe
Distance half of speed expressed in metres) is considered.
The desire "to hang on a tail" at any car,
For example for passing, can manage from 80 to 300 stamps.
Do not forget, that in German cities the maximum resolved
Speed not 60 km/h habitual to us, and 50 km/h. In inhabited quarters
It limit and to 30km/ch.
In the country where beer consumption is entered into a cult (difficultly
To present having dinner Germans without a mug of this drink, and
The majority of them after all "on wheels"), to drunk drivers
Rigid sanctions are applied: the penalty from 200 to 1500 stamps or
Deprivation of the rights to 3 months. Data on such offence are stored in
The computer 2,5 years also become aggravating circumstances at
Repeated infringement for this term. Do not count on that in
To the country in which chtut the law, will make indulgence for foreigners.
Ignorance of language does not relieve from responsibility.
To sight to List even the cores from them in one
It is impossible for article. We will mention only some.
In the second city of Germany, Hamburg, some museums, among
Which arts most known the Museum and crafts and
Ethnographic museum. Speaking about Hamburg, it is necessary to mention about
One of city cut-aways - the advanced area in the world red
Lanterns. On many German maps Reperban (Reeperbahn) it is noted
Silhouette of a moth.
A lot of interesting in Bremen, in one of the oldest in Europe
Cities - of republics. A symbol of its freedom - pillar Rolanda,
Located in city centre at Renaissance town hall. For
Your children this city first of all the native land of the Bremen musicians.
The monument to characters of a known fairy tale is near to a town hall.
If summer Sunday finds you on road to area
Hanover, turn in small town Hameln (Hameln) in 45 kilometres
On the southwest from the main city of the Bottom Saxony. Your children
Will explain to you what exactly here dudochnik was rescued by a city from rats, and
Then has withdrawn all children from a city. At midday in centre Hamelna
It is possible to see kostjumirovannoe the procession devoted to this event.
Do not forget, passing in the beginning of September Frankfurt am Main,
That the biggest passes in this city on odd years
Motor show in the world.
To orient in its site it is easy on the Mass-turn,
To peaked skyscraper, visible with adjoining to a city
avtobanov.
The main sight of Cologne - the Gothic cathedral, one
The greatest in the world. Munich is well-known for the international festival
The beer, passing in the end of September - the beginning of October. In a city,
To concern BMW ancestral lands, there is a large museum of the well-known
The Bavarian automobile stamp.
If you come back from Germany ferry Travemjunde -
Helsinki it is necessary to make secure and arrive to the ferry in advance.
If to time remains too much, visit nearby Luebeck.
We some times on editorial "Tojote" passed it and even
Spent the night on its suburb, but only then under the city plan have seen,
What beautiful at it the historical centre located on
Island.
If you travel with children, to pass away time before departure
The ferry it is possible and in small German Disnejlende - Hans-park
(Hansa park). It is located in two tens kilometres from port
(Congress N14 Neustadt-Sud with avtobana N1/п 47). The Entrance fee from 23
To 28 DM.
