TRIER - A Beautiful City Worth Visiting

by sargentjeff - last update: Mar 12, 2005

A day with nothing to do...

Porta Nigra Trier
...why not visit Trier. It's only 50km from Baumholder, and well worth the time to drive so Mariangela and I decided to go here. She was supposed to be in Naples today, but her flight was cancelled so I proposed a trip to Trier. We'd been wanting to visit for a while, so what better time than the present.

The Porta Negra is a Roman relic, and Trier's claim to fame, but there is so much more to see here.

Taking a walk on a sunny day

Thank God it was sunny, but the temperature was below freezing, and the wind made it worse. We saw the sights we wanted to see, and then decided to go back home; saving more for the spring or summer. It's very close to us, so another trip wll be easy anyday.

Well, here is was...

...trying to keep warm in Trier in February. The Porta Negra is behind me here, and at least it was sunny.

 Great page of a city I never heard before, and so close to lux that i have to include on a trip!

 I can't imagine how karl marx arises frm such a small place in Germany! And definitely the pretzel tip is very helpful for a budget traveller like me ;p

 Isn't it amazing to see such a building like Porta Nigra still standing since 2000 years. I wonder how long the hertiage of K.Marx will last...
