From Dusseldorf to Cologne. Germany.

Our walk from Dusseldorf to Cologne was amazing. Our way took around 10 hours. We walked along The River Rhine. We passed through little towns and villages. We enjoyed great views of the river and nature. We passed by corn field etc. We liked our travel from Dusseldorf to Cologne very much !
Cologne is the fourth most populous city in Germany after Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. Its population was 1,075,935 inhabitants in 2016. The city is divided into two parts by The River Rhine.
The Hohenzollern Bridge over The River Rhine is one of tourist attractions. There are millions of ove padlock hanging on its walls. It looks amazing !
The second interesting place to visit is The Cologne Cathedral/Der Kölner Dom. Tourists can observe wonderful views of the city from the top of The Cathedral.
We also liked walk along The River Rhine. There is a rope way over The River Rhine in a distance from The Hohenzollern Bridge. It is called Die Kölner Seilbahn you can enjoy a wonderful ride and look at the city from other side.
All main attractions such as The Cologne Cathedral, Die Kölner Seilbahn and The Hohenzollern Bridge are situated nearby The Central Station.
Cologne has its own atmosphere. The city has its own face. It was very hot when we pay the city a visit.
By the way, near the city there is Bayer Factory.

Travel the world, it makes us better !

This monument to gay people murdered by NAZI is small and it is not so easy to find it.
Not so many people know that the monument exists and where is it located.
This monument to gay people murdered by NAZI is situated neaby The Hohenzollern Bridge

Tver is a city in around 183 km away from Moscow. The city was founded around 1135. The city is divided into two parts by The River Volga. Despite of its age and power in the past, Tver is an relatively poor city.
It's possible to get to Tver from Moscow by 'normal' and high-speed trains. The high-speed trains go to Tver for 2 hours.
There is an amusement park on one side of the river and a good beach on the other one. People use The River Volga here for canoeing, rowing and fishing.
M. Krug, a famous Russian chansonnier, was born in the city in 1962 and was killed in his home here in 2002. He loved Tver very much and dedicated songs to the city.
Afanasy Nikitin was a Russian merchant who was born in Tver and one of the first Europeans who traveled to India. He described his trip in a narrative known as The Journey Beyond Three Seas
We like to visit Tver durin the summertime for swimming in The River Volga and walking around because there are picturesque places in the city and outside of it.

Dusseldorf attractions.

Visiting Dusseldorf


Düsseldorf is the capital city of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city is situated in Western part of Germany.
Rhine River flows through the city. The river is very fast. We didn't even try to swimm and just plunged several times in waters of The Rhine River on its left bank. 
All main attractions are gathered close to each other, around The Rhine Tower. 
You can walk around in Altstadt (The Old Town), then go for a walk along The Rhine Embankment Promenad. Following the Promenad you reach The Rhine Tower. It is not expensive to get to the observation desk of the TV Tower and enjoy amaizing views of Düsseldorf from a height of 160 metres. Then you go to see three buildings of Neuer Zollhof or Der Neue Zollhof (The New Zollhof) and Roggendorf House. By the way, there is a cosy sand beach in Mediahafen where you can have a picnic and enjoy great views of bridge over Rhine River and Altstadt etc. A small bridge from the Rhine Tower is leading to the beach.
Every year in May Dusseldorf celebrates the Japan Day. There is a big Japan community in the city. And On the Japan Day crowds of people dressed up as characters of Japan movies, Anime, Comics, Computer Games gather in Altstadt and walk along The Promenade. 
You definitely should walk down Kiefernstrasse. Each building of the street is a masterpiece of graffiti and has its own face and spirit. The entire street is full of street art of all kinds.

It is clean, friendly and positive ! Germany
