JUNEAU, A CAPITAL DO ALASKA/JUNEAU – DIE HAUPTSTADT VON ALASKA/JUNEAU – THE CAPITAL OF ALASKA

JUNEAU, A CAPITAL DO ALASKA

Juneau é a capital do estado americano do Alaska. É uma cidade que somente é acessível pelo ar e pelo mar.

Erich e eu visitamos Juneau no mês de julho, verão, quando a cidade tem mais de 17 horas de luz solar. Mesmo no verão senti que faz frio pela manhã e esquenta um pouco durante o dia.

Juneau está localizada no sudeste do Alaska, a 1448 km de Seattle e 965,60 km a sudeste de Anchorage com uma população aproximada de 33 mil habitantes. A cidade originou-se de um acampamento em torno de uma mina de ouro em 1880. Juneau possui um centro histórico com casas originais daquela época. O que mais me impressionou na visita a Juneau foi a existência de uma natureza exuberante. A cidade é cercada por montanhas verdes e pelas águas do Golfo do Alaska, no Oceano Pacífico.

São muitos os atrativos em Juneau e nas suas proximidades.

Nós realizamos um passeio de barco onde vimos orcas e baleias do tipo Humpbacks (você pode observá-las entre abril e novembro),

além de visitar o Glaciar Mendenhall, o atrativo mais popular.

Se o visitante quiser ter uma bela vista de Juneau e do Canal Gastineau, vale a pena usar o teleférico Goldbelt Mount Roberts, é o único do sudeste do Alaska e funciona no período de maio até setembro.

Juneau é definitivamente um portão de entrada para se visitar muitos atrativos durante o verão. É um paraíso para se observar animais, como baleias, orcas, leões do mar, águias, lontras, pássaros, dentre outros.

O bar mais famoso de Juneau é o Red Dog Saloon. A visita a esse lugar nos transporta para os tempos das diligências, aquela época que vemos em filmes de faroeste americano.

Juneau é uma pequena cidade, que definitivamente, causa uma grande impressão para os que a visitam.

Curiosidade sobre a cidade:

21/12 – é o menor dia, com 6 horas e 21 minutos de luz solar.

JUNEAU – DIE HAUPTSTADT VON ALASKA

Juneau ist die Hauptstadt des amerikanischen Bundesstaates Alaska. Es ist eine Stadt, die nur auf dem Luft- und Seeweg erreichbar ist.

Erich und ich besuchten Juneau im Juli, wenn die Stadt mehr als 17 Stunden über Sonnenlicht verfügt. Selbst im Sommer war es am Morgen kalt und tagsüber etwas angenehm wärmer.

Juneau liegt im Südosten von Alaska, 1448 km von Seattle entfernt und 965 km südöstlich von Anchorage mit einer Bevölkerung von 33.000 Einwohnern gelegen. Die Stadt entstand 1880 aus einem Lager an einer Goldmine. Juneau hat ein historisches Zentrum mit ursprünglichen Häusern aus dieser Zeit. Was mich an dem Besuch in Juneau am meisten beeindruckte war die Überschwänglichkeit der Natur. Die Stadt ist von grünen Bergen und den Gewässern des Golfs von Alaska im Pazifischen Ozean umgeben.

Es gibt viele Attraktionen in und um Juneau.

Wir unternahmen eine Bootsfahrt, auf welcher wir Buckelwale, Orcas und Wale sehen konnten (die zwischen April und November beobachtet werden können) und wir besuchten zudem den

Mendenhall Gletscher, beides sehr beliebte Attraktion der Regio.

Weitere Ausflüge sind: Fahrten mit Hundeschlitten,

Wenn Sie als Besucher einen schönen Blick auf Juneau und den Gastineau-Kanal genieβen wollen, dann lohnt es sich, mit der Goldbelt Mount Roberts-Seilbahn hochzuschweben, es ist die einzige im südöstlichen Alaska und nur von Mai bis September geöffnet.

Juneau ist definitiv im Sommer ein Eingangstor zu vielen Attraktionen. Es ist ein Paradies für Tiere wie Wale, Killerwale, Seelöwen, Adler, Otter, Vögel und andere.

JUNEAU – THE CAPITAL OF ALASK

Juneau is the capital of the US state of Alaska. It is a city that can only be reached by air and sea.

Erich and I visited Juneau in July when the city has more than 17 hours of sunlight. Even in the summer it was cold in the morning and a bit warmer during the day.

Juneau is located in southeastern Alaska, 1448 km from Seattle and 965 km southeast of Anchorage with a population of 33,000 inhabitants. The city was built in 1880 from a camp at a gold mine.

Juneau has a historic center with original houses from this period. What impressed me most about the visit to Juneau was the exuberance of nature. The city is surrounded by green mountains and the waters of the Gulf of Alaska in the Pacific Ocean.

There are many attractions in and around Juneau.

We took a boat trip to see humpback whales, orcas and whales (which can be seen between April and November), and we also

visited the Mendenhall Glacier, both a very popular attraction in the area.

Other excursions include: dog sled rides,
