点评:Our visit to the Eagle's Nest was enjoyed immensely and well worth it. However, I have an item that I was unaware of before visiting there.
When I rented our car for a week in Bavaria, I was asked if we would be entering any other countries and I answered "no". When I queried Google Maps for directions from our home-base of Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Berchtesgaden, we were routed along the A8 highway, which seemed to make the most sense. However, just before reaching our destination, the A8 crosses into Austria and then there is a turn-off back into Germany. On our return, we used the B20 to reach the A8 while staying in Germany. We were in Austria for only about 15 minutes.
As a result of crossing the border, I received a fine of $179 a month after we returned to the US. The traffic fine was actually 120 Euros, but the car rental company add on their service fee and the exchange rate did the rest.
翻译:我们非常享受参观鹰巢的旅程,觉得物超所值。不过,我之前并不知道有一件事。
我在巴伐利亚租车一周时,租车公司问我是否会进入其他国家,我回答“不会”。我用谷歌地图查询从我们位于加米施-帕滕基兴的住处到贝希特斯加登的路线,地图推荐我们走A8高速公路,这看起来是最合理的路线。然而,就在快到目的地时,A8高速公路会进入奥地利,然后有一个岔路口会回到德国。回程时,我们沿着B20公路在德国境内行驶,最终到达A8高速公路。我们在奥地利只停留了大约15分钟。
由于这次过境,我们回到美国后一个月,我收到了一张179美元的罚单。实际的交通罚款是120欧元,但租车公司加上了服务费,再加上汇率因素,最终金额就变成了179美元。
