Marburg <3

     After the Erasmus Exchange program and my unforgettable stay in Spain my boyfriend and I continued our relationship by visiting each other in his country. Hence, I ended up in Marburg for the first time.

      Marburg is best-known as an unspoiled university town dominated by both Gothic and Renaissance buildings. My boyfriend’s apartment was located right in the middle of it, so that we could easily walk to any place in the town within a short space of time. Furthermore, we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and had a look at all the worth seeing places in Marburg. 

        At first, there has to be mentioned the famous castle of Marburg named Marburger Schloss. It is situated on top of a mountain, at a height of 280m. It was one of our first destinations from where we had an amazing view all over Marburg both during the day and during the night. After having enjoyed our picnic and having listened to all the bats flying about, we went for a nightly walk next to the river Lahn which flows through Marburg before going to sleep.

       On one of the next days we visited another important landmark of Marburg, the beautiful Gothic church Elisabethkirche built in honor of St. Elizabeth of Hungary. On our way we crossed the Old Botanical Garden, which is maintained today by the University of Marburg, and had a halt there next to a small pond with its moorhens and ducks. The whole time we were lucky with the weather and that was only one of many aspects that made my stay perfect.

       There are more and more marvelous places I get to know over the course of time, which are all worth being visited again. However, there are also a hundred of places I have not visited so far. Therefore, I am looking forward to all the future trips that are expecting me and my fellow traveler, my boyfriend.
