Travel Germany - Exploring the Historic Town of Hildesheim
Take a tour of German Town of Hildesheim -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
In the German region of Lower Saxony, is the small city of Hildesheim, residing on the banks of Innerste River.
Owing to its lengthy history, it has been among Northern Germany's most vital communities.
Its great architecture, historic environment, grand plazas and bustling markets beckon people from around the globe.
Due to the air raids of World War II much of the city was destroyed, but a rebuilding effort was immediately initiated to return the structures to their original form.
Its half-timbered houses lining the town streets are brilliant examples of medieval German architecture.
Remaining loyal to its roots, this lovely little town is brimming with charm and hospitality.
The Church of St. Michael - Hildesheim, Germany - UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list .
The Church of St. Michael (German: Michaeliskirche) in Hildesheim, Germany, is an early-Romanesque church. It has been on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list since 1985. History
Abbey Church of St. Michael's was constructed between 1001 and 1031 under the direction of Bishop Bernward of Hildesheim (993-1022) as the chapel of his Benedictine monastery. Bernward named the church after the archangel Michael, the Christian angel of protection who carries the deceased to heaven, because he planned to be buried in the Michaeliskirche[citation needed]. Bernward's plans were spoiled by his death in 1022, eleven years before the completion and consecration of the church in 1033. Bernward's successor, Godehard, transferred Bernward's remains to the crypt following its completion.
The church has a high level of symmetry, both north-south as well as east-west, evident from this printed image which is in fact a mirror image.
In 1186, after a reconstruction following a fire, Hildesheim's Bishop Adelog of Dorstedt - assisted by Tammo, Prince-Bishop of Verden - reconsecrated St. Michael's.
When the Reformation was adopted in Hildesheim in 1542, St. Michael's Church became Lutheran, but the Benedictine monastery remained existing until it was secularized in 1803. The monks would still use the church and its crypt, which remain Catholic to this day.
St. Michael's Church was destroyed in an air raid during World War II on 22 March 1945, but reconstruction was begun in 1950 and completed in 1957. In 1985, the church became a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site, along with the Cathedral of Hildesheim, its collection of medieval treasures and its 1000-year old rosebush. SOURCE :WIKIPEDIA
Morocco best of: Marrakesh, Ait ben haddou, Merzouga, Essaouira, Chefchaouen...
Morocco is a great and easy country to travel. I was already the second time in Morocco. The first time in 2014 I was only in Marrakesh and Merzouga. The trip to the desert was great, but we've one complete day in the bus to get there and one complete day back. Too much for a short trip :)
2017 I had more time to travel. First stop was Marrakesh. It's a nice city, but it's full of tourists and guides. I didn't like it very much and I left very fast.
Next stop was Imlil. I left most of my luggage in a guest house and climbed Mount Toubkal. You don't need a guide for this hike. Although everybody in the village recommends a guide ;-)
You can buy water all the hill up. On the peak you can rent a bed or room. In peak season better make a reservation. I slept in my tent. During the night it was really cold. Be prepared :D Most of the people wake up very early and go to the peak to watch the sunrise.
To get from Imlil to Aït-Ben-Haddou I had to take several different taxis and buses and hitchhike some parts. There's is a Kasbah in Aït-Ben-Haddou. Very nice place. Films like Gladiator or Game of Thrones were filmed here.
Tinghir, a city near Todgha gorges, you can reach easy by taxi. You have just to wait until it's full. Don't stay in Tinghir, better go up close to the gorges. I stayed in Dar Aicha. I can recommend it. On the way I met Andrea and we explored the gorge together.
After the gorge I took the night bus to Agadir. Agadir has some nice beaches, very good for tourists. But there's not much to see. I left after one day :D
I stayed for five days in Moknari. It's a berber village, where only one big family lives. There are thousands of surf camps along the coast. I decided for this one, because you will get a special experience in this village. It's very family. We played footbal together with Hichams cousins and did some other activities like sand boarding or visited paradise valley.
After all the activities I relaxed in Essaouira where I met Andrea again. This city was my favourite city. It's a small city, very relaxing. You can find many places just to sit down and chill. Or you can go to the beach or the harbour and watch the fisher men.
Unfortunatelly all tickets for the night buses were sold. So I had to drive the whole day in a bus and a train to get to Fes. Fes has very narrow streets and you don't have many possibilities to sit down somewhere. My suggestion is not to stay longer than one day there :D
My last station was Chefchaouen. It's a must go place. The city is also called The Blue Pearl. Take a look at the pictures and you will know why :D For sun set don't miss to go on the hill nearby. For a good place you should come early. It got very full :D
If you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments :)
