  • 3. Altstadt Schaffhausen Schaffhausen
    Altstadt is the German language word for old town, and generally refers to the historical town or city centre within the old town or city wall, in contrast to younger suburbs outside. Neustadt , the logical opposite of Altstadt, mostly stands for a part of the Altstadt in modern sense, sometimes only a few years younger than the oldest part, sometimes a late medieval enlargement. Most German towns have an Altstadt, even though the ravages of war have destroyed many of them, especially during the Thirty Years' War . In the War of the Palatinian Succession of 1688, the order to Brûlez le Palatinat! was executed by Mélac, devastating many cities and large parts of South Western Germany, like the Heidelberg Castle.

  • 11. Kleine Scheidegg Jungfrau Region
    The Kleine Scheidegg is a mountain pass at an elevation of 2,061 m , situated below and between the Eiger and Lauberhorn peaks in the Bernese Oberland region of Switzerland. The name means minor watershed, even though it is actually higher than the neighbouring Grosse Scheidegg. Possibly this is because Kleine Scheidegg is a watershed between the two arms of the Lütschine river, while Grosse Scheidegg divides the Lütschine from the Rychenbach stream.The pass is traversed by a walking trail and the Wengernalp railway, which both connect the villages of Grindelwald with Lauterbrunnen, passing through Wengen between the pass summit and Lauterbrunnen. In winter, Kleine Scheidegg is the centre of the ski area around Grindelwald and Wengen. In summer, it is a popular hiking destination, and is...

Its northern end is at the Bahnhofbrücke bridge and Central plaza. Between the Quaibrücke and the Bahnhofbrücke, the river is crossed by four other bridges all of which connect to the Limma...
