We live in hotels near Inner Alster Lake. Every day we go
out, will go through this is known as the Pearl of the Inner Alster Lake. Sunny
day, the central fountain spewing nonstop from morning to night, with the wind
scattered tracts of mist on the lake, in the sunshine, a little flash into a
rainbow. Rainy day, there will be old steam cruise ship sailing, while wheezes
forward, while spewing out clouds of mist in the rain and fog, the vicissitudes
of the building set off the shore, people think back to a century ago.
Tips:
1. Alster Lake, sunny,
rain, night, each
with their own style, but still
fine when the
most beautiful lake view.
2. Alster Lake: It has inner and outer Alster Lake. Between
bridge of inner and outer Alster Lake, with Kennedybrucke and Lombardsbrucke is
a good place to watch the panorama of Hamburg.
3. If you like the lake waterfowl, can carry bread to be
fed; but the best bit more bread, you are not to eat the swan catch up, that's
not what warm memories.
