A town that bathes the mind and soul｜Tübingen.

🌟Highlights: The town of Tübingen was founded in 1231. It is nestled between mountains and rivers. Needless to say, its unique natural scenery can be felt as soon as you drive into the town. There are winding alleys, classical German medieval buildings, half-timbered houses, and castles and monasteries that have weathered the test of time. But what Tübingen is most proud of is its academic environment. The University of Tübingen is well-known in Germany and even in the world. Famous German poets include Goethe, Schiller and Hölderlin. Hölderlin was a poet of the same period as Goethe and Schiller. It is said that his poetry level was no less than that of Goethe and Schiller, but he was in the shadow of the two literary masters and so seemed dim. He spent the rest of his life in poverty, illness and loneliness. Died in near obscurity. It was not until a hundred years later, at the beginning of the 20th century, that people began to recognize the value of his poetry. From then on, his old residence, the Hölderlin Tower, became a beacon of German literature and even world literature. It is no exaggeration to say that Tübingen is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Hesse, who worked as an apprentice in an ordinary bookstore here, later became a Nobel Prize winner in literature. Famous writers, philosophers and historians consider it an honor to come here to give speeches. 🍁It was evening when we arrived, and the setting sun dyed the maple trees golden. Whether it was the woods on the island or the colorful ancient buildings in the old town outside the island, they were all so beautiful. If time could be paused, I would like to pause in the evening in Tübingen, let time pass more slowly, and let the sun stay a little longer. 👍Most Recommended: 1. Hölderlin Tower: In the famous building complex on the banks of the Neckar River, it has egg-yellow walls covered with ivy and a dark spire. Since the mentally ill poet Hölderlin was declared incurable in 1807, he was taken in by the carpenter Zemmer and lived here until his death in 1843. 2. The colorfully painted old town hall house, on a sloping road, is very exquisite and should not be missed. 3. There is an idyllic island on the Neckar River. There is a dovecote and a forest on the island. 🏨Accommodation tips: Accommodation in small towns is more relaxed, but it is more convenient to stay in Stuttgart, with more options. 📝Note tips: If you drive, you can park your car in a public parking lot near the University of Tübingen for free. It only takes about ten minutes to walk to the old town. 📍Detailed address: Tübingen is located in the Black Forest region in southern Germany, 40 kilometers south of Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg. ⏳Play time: Half a day is fine, but it’s best to stay until sunset, the sunset is so beautiful.
