Visit to Iceland

CHAPTER XI
2/98

Wolfenbuttel seems to be a considerable town, judging by the quantity of houses and church-steeples.

A pretty wooden bridge, with an elegantly-made iron balustrade, is built here across the Ocker.

From the town, a beautiful lane leads to a gentle hill, on whose top stands a lovely building, used as a coffee-house.
As soon as one has passed the Hanoverian domains the country, though it is not richer in natural curiosities, is less abundant in marshes and heaths, and is very well-cultivated land.

Many villages are spread around, and many a charming town excites the wish to travel through at a slower pace.
We passed Schepenstadt, Jersheim, and Wegersleben, which latter town already belongs to Prussia.

In Ashersleben and in Magdeburg we changed carriages.
