Correction: Hans WAS a popular name 60 years ago !! And Greta Thunberg is from Sweden and NOBODY calls their daughter Gretel anymore and not even Heidi 😁. Btw Germany has so many castles as it was made of over 300 ((!!) kingdoms and dukedoms and even bishops had their castles centuries ago before the first "unification" in 1871! Love from Southern Germany :).

Every Sovereign under the sun had to have a place of residence... not just the ones you mentioned. There were way more than 300 before 1648 (end of 30 years war). Napoleon reduced the number massively already long before 1871 (german confederation 41 members).

A little fun fact: Burg eltz has been continuously owned by the same family that build it (the eltz family), so for about 900 years. They still live in the castle for a part of the year (it gets really cold in the winter). It has never been destroyed (not even partially), which is really unique, if you take all the wars germany fought in the last 900 years into account.

Finally it’s a vid made from someone who was in south Germany and made a few trips to other city’s. It’s nothing wrong with it but this list is hardly influenced by that. You can clearly see it on his Berlin part, how can you not mention Potsdam? The only reason is, he had not the time to visit. How can you call Frankfurt and skip Cologne? (the bones of the 3 holy kings laying beneath the Kölner Dom) And how can you avoid Aachen? How can you not talk about Siegfried „the dragonslayer“ Saga? And so on. Anyway, I m not angry but it’s a list made from someone who didn’t visit whole Germany.

Talking about history... Trier (Augusta Treverorum) was founded 16 BC, so is way over 2000 years old now. When it comes to favourite places, it depends on what kind of place you like. Hamburg is a wonderful and historic city on the North Sea coast, it is definitely worth a visit as it is among the top-2 big cities in the country (IMO those two are München and Hamburg). Go to east Germany and you can find stunningly beautiful places in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte - lots of lakes, beautiful cities and landscape (especially in summer). But the top region IMO is the Black Forest. You simply can't go wrong in the Black Forest, a huge forest area (doh!) that has some great peaks as it extends into the Alps, lots of tradition, plenty of really pittoresque places, it's absolutely wonderful.

As a German I grew up with all the history around me. There is almost everywhere a place that was build1000 years or more ago. When you go on school trips it is often a hiking trip that ends at a castle or a historic site. One time we walked to the "druidenstein" translated to druids stone and we stood under trees that where there in a time when germanic tribes did there religious ceremonys there 1100 or more years ago. When you are a kid and visit such places 2 or 3 times a year you really get another understanding of history

I recomment visiting the "Mittelrhein" (middle rhine area) when and if you are in germany the next time. If you take a trip from Wiesbaden to Koblenz, you are driving along the rhine with its castles and whineyards. From summer to autumn there are loads of medival markets and festivals in this area, too - so its defenetely worth a visit ^.^ There are also a lot of vinter who offer wine tastings. Neuschwanstein is nice, sure - but its not medival castle, It was build in 1869 by Ludwig II who wantet it to look like a medival fairytale castle. I pains me a bit that so many foreigners visit only this castle, when teher are so many castles that are much more authentic tan this one. -.- I also can highly recomment Dresden and the Elb-Sandstein mountains. The city is beautiful and the unique mountains at the border to Chech republic is gorgeaus (and has also a lot of castles ^.~) If you have the time visit Rügen. Its the largest Island of germany, located in the baltic sea. Gemany has so many different places and different cultures - a few visites arent nearly enoug to enjoy all of them.

Hi guys. i think one of the oldest places north of the Alps must be the city Trier, about two thousand years old, founded by a roman emperor to be his capital. I dont live there, i only live in a small town near the Ruhr area, am old former mining area, and the largest build-up area in europe probably. within about 100 km (about 80 miles) about 15-20 mio people live. Its not really popular for outsiders, but it has the most diverse culture all around, with more than half a dozen universities. So, if you're looking for a place to study in germany, checkout Münster, Dortmund, Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, or Bonn. And, to finish, be sure to visit the german coast. There are a great many fine islands, plus a world nature heritage of the coastal tidal area, only two places in the world are like this. There also millions of birds rest on their routes from the mediteranean to scandinavia or siberia. And the north Sea is a sea for tough man, its cold and rough and full of fish, even seals or whales.

The problem with Neuschwanstein is, it wasn't finished in the first place. So almost all of the rooms were empty, even paintings and frames weren't completed. King Ludwig basically ruined Bavaria with this Castle and they stopped him by putting him down. So now it needs to be constantly renovated, while rebuilding the rooms as they were originally planned. But that's an expensive and never ending project. The castle nearby "Hohenschwangauc, King Ludwig lived there as a child, is way more beautiful!

Hi Joel, many greetings from the beautiful 'Berchtesgadener Land' (county of Upper-Bavaria). I live in the village of 'Bayerisch Gmain' between the towns of Bad Reichenhall and Berchtesgaden. Yes, the Hintersee, Königsse, Eagles Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), Maria Gern are hotspots here, which are really beautiful. Definitely a recommendation to visit. At the same time, we are on the border with Austria and the city of Salzburg. Also a hotspot to visit! So if you ever come to Munich again, it's only 2 hours by car to the beautiful Berchtesgadener Land - maybe even faster if there is no traffic on the A8 Autobahn and you can drive "a little faster". Best regards - Joachim PS: Did you see my email from December 27th?

Small correction: Hansel and Gretel did not live in the Black Forest, but in the northern Hesse mountains (Waldhessen). Well, reducing Germany to 10 places worth seeing is quite a challenge - and you managed to reduce them to two: Berlin and Neuschwanstein! This reminds me of my youth, there was a book for American tourists called: "Europe on two dollars a day"; Germany was also reduced to two places: Munich and Heidelberg! I couldn't do that, but I would definitely add Cologne and Bonn as well as the German North Sea islands (e.g. Sylt and Norderney) and the Baltic Sea coast!

Hi, you both! It`s crazy - me as a german - have never been there. I should also make those sightseeing tours in my own country! Especially because it should be much easier than for americans, for example. It`s not t h a t far away! But,....... well. (Sometimes it`s not so easy). 🙄😆 I personally love the region along the river Rhine (german: Rhein) - left side and right side - behind Cologne (gem. Köln) and Bonn (former capital city), between the little city Königswinter on the right side with the "Siebengebirge" (= mini-mountains) through Koblenz till Rüdesheim. Everything is much smaller and softer than the panorama of the Alps of course (!!!), but it`s tiny and lovely! It`s also a famous tourist region with lots of castles (partly more rustic). I like that. In Saint Goar (german: St. Goar/ "Sankt" Goar) there is a VERY interesting castle ruin with small tunnels where you can go through, if you are not too fat (!) 😂. On it`s way up the hill there`s a restaurant with a kind of "balcony" in the rock from where you have a beautyfull view on St. Goar. (It`s on the right side of the rhine). Not far away is the famous rock with the statue of the "Loreley". (There is a nice legend about this)! In summer there are the famous open-air concerts. Btw: Before the visit, or after that, you can "party" in Cologne!!! 😜(But there you should stay for 2 days minimum).

The whole castle of Neuschwanstein is not original. When built, it was as outdated as Disneys castle hundred years later. It is worldwide one of the first "houses" constructed by steel beam construction, like decades later the first NY scy scrapers. The "castle" even had electricity and telephone!!! It was just that, what a crazy kings personal ideas about all the different mideavel castles and styles of ancient architecture was. And then all mixed up together, not even finished, because the building bankrupted the king and the whole state of bavaria. Gotten bancrupted, Bavaria declared the King Ludwig insane, incarcerated him. Then Bavarias whole existence as a state was terminated and had to submit is existence under the reign of enemies neighboring states.

It is an original fake. Modern construction, trying to look like an old castle of several hundred years ago mixing the styles of different centuries. And did not even try or succeed to serve the function. an old castle would do. I have visited it 60 years ago when it was evident, that it is not an old or even ancient building. That was so evident to see even to a child. My own house ( and the disney castle as well) now is nearly as old, as Neuschwanstein then was. I saw the electrics , lamps, and electric controls table with lights and calling bells for the servants , the steel construction of the roof and the raised ceiling of the grand "show room" and the telephone still working. It even had a diving and uplifting table from the kitchen to the dining room. Nothing of all that would fit an original castle. There was even a plan for building a cable car down to the little lake like a modern ski cable car. Castle??? Original?? And-- he could afford it, as it was , as far as i know his third "palace". Like Micheal Jackson, he lived and thought his own "reality", which was as unreal as this "castle".@@juliaclaire42

Neuschwanstein Castle is just as fake as the Disney Castle, albeit in a better version. Completed in 1869 during my great-grandfather's time. Built from industrial bricks with a sandstone curtain-wall facing. The roof construction of the large hall is a steel girder structure with a suspended ceiling. So don't compare it to real medievial castles, this is just a fantasy of a slightly insane king.

The German alpine lakes and rivers are mostly very clear as they are also very cold. They are fed with cold melting water from the mountains and glaciers of the Alps. Very few microorganisms and algae live in this cold water, which would cloud the water. The trout from such streams is considered a delicacy. There are now also trout farmers in Bavaria who divert the stream and let it flow through the fish breeding ponds. The world's best caviar (via sturgeon) is now produced there because the water is so clean.

I think this list was seriously missing out. It looks like like a list made up by someone stationed in Bavaria for six months, who only had the time to go on very few short trips anywhere else. It reminded me of the German stereotype of Dirndl and Lederhosen. Not good. Where is the middle and the north? Pretty much non existent, even though they do have beautiful and fascinating areas and history.

A little fun fact: Burg eltz has been continuously owned by the same family that build it (the eltz family), so for about 900 years. They still live in the castle for a part of the year (it gets really cold in the winter). It has never been destroyed (not even partially), which is really unique, if you take all the wars germany fought in the last 900 years into account.

I don't like that soooo many views are in the south!

Finally it’s a vid made from someone who was in south Germany and made a few trips to other city’s. It’s nothing wrong with it but this list is hardly influenced by that. You can clearly see it on his Berlin part, how can you not mention Potsdam? The only reason is, he had not the time to visit. How can you call Frankfurt and skip Cologne? (the bones of the 3 holy kings laying beneath the Kölner Dom) And how can you avoid Aachen? How can you not talk about Siegfried „the dragonslayer“ Saga? And so on. Anyway, I m not angry but it’s a list made from someone who didn’t visit whole Germany.

The turquoise coloured water is called ice water because it's directly fed from the melting snow on the Alps. It's was surreal actually seeing it for real and the water was really ice cold.

Talking about history... Trier (Augusta Treverorum) was founded 16 BC, so is way over 2000 years old now. When it comes to favourite places, it depends on what kind of place you like. Hamburg is a wonderful and historic city on the North Sea coast, it is definitely worth a visit as it is among the top-2 big cities in the country (IMO those two are München and Hamburg). Go to east Germany and you can find stunningly beautiful places in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte - lots of lakes, beautiful cities and landscape (especially in summer). But the top region IMO is the Black Forest. You simply can't go wrong in the Black Forest, a huge forest area (doh!) that has some great peaks as it extends into the Alps, lots of tradition, plenty of really pittoresque places, it's absolutely wonderful.

As a German I grew up with all the history around me. There is almost everywhere a place that was build1000 years or more ago. When you go on school trips it is often a hiking trip that ends at a castle or a historic site. One time we walked to the "druidenstein" translated to druids stone and we stood under trees that where there in a time when germanic tribes did there religious ceremonys there 1100 or more years ago. When you are a kid and visit such places 2 or 3 times a year you really get another understanding of history
There is a reason why many Germans say: "Bavaria should be an own country, let's split it from the rest". These lists are almost always the same, typical stereotype tourism spots. A pity, as Germany has so much more beautiful places than that. Guy from Cologne here.

Then lets make it happen.
Hänsel & Gretel is from Brothers Grimm and Most of there Storys take Place the forrests around Kassel. Beside many others also a Place to visit
Neuschwanstein castle is as King Ludwig II built and furnished it. King Ludwig II from Bavaria is known as the „Fairytale King“
Germany has the most castles as it was only unified in 1871. So each kingdom/duchy/earldom/bishopric/pricipality/city state etc. had to be able to defend itself [and make money in tolls]. Been to all these places and Germany is indeed a beautiful place. Am glad I'm half German [born there] and half English.
I moved to Germany from the UK about 20 years ago and live about an hour away from the Mosel river where I spent a lot of sommer holidays. Amazing scenery and great wine tasting, bike rides, great food ....If I drive 5 hrs south then I get to the Alps. It was a real experience for me to sit having a coffee on the side of lake Constance with the snowcapped mountains in the background.
Hello Joel and pal. Many years back, my friend had relatives in Frankfürt and we used it as a base to tour Europe, though back then the Berlin Wall was no museum.
Also think about Dresden and Leipzig in the East of Germany. Or the small town Görlitz which is right at the border to Poland and actually has a polish side since the Neiße river which runs through the town was declared the new border after second world war. Because of Görlitz's very well preserved historical center many films have been shot there. The Grand Budapest Hotel and Inglourious Basterds for instance. Cheers from Berlin!
I also live in Saxony. If you would like to get to know and understand Germany a little better, you should study all of the federal states. Auerbach's cellar (because of Goethe) is also worth a visit. Every tourist in Germany should get to know the Dresden Zwinger. The Hamburg fish market and the Elbphilharmonie are also worthwhile.
I recomment visiting the "Mittelrhein" (middle rhine area) when and if you are in germany the next time. If you take a trip from Wiesbaden to Koblenz, you are driving along the rhine with its castles and whineyards. From summer to autumn there are loads of medival markets and festivals in this area, too - so its defenetely worth a visit ^.^ There are also a lot of vinter who offer wine tastings. Neuschwanstein is nice, sure - but its not medival castle, It was build in 1869 by Ludwig II who wantet it to look like a medival fairytale castle. I pains me a bit that so many foreigners visit only this castle, when teher are so many castles that are much more authentic tan this one. -.- I also can highly recomment Dresden and the Elb-Sandstein mountains. The city is beautiful and the unique mountains at the border to Chech republic is gorgeaus (and has also a lot of castles ^.~) If you have the time visit Rügen. Its the largest Island of germany, located in the baltic sea. Gemany has so many different places and different cultures - a few visites arent nearly enoug to enjoy all of them.
You should've visited Denmark when you were in Hamburg
Hi guys. i think one of the oldest places north of the Alps must be the city Trier, about two thousand years old, founded by a roman emperor to be his capital. I dont live there, i only live in a small town near the Ruhr area, am old former mining area, and the largest build-up area in europe probably. within about 100 km (about 80 miles) about 15-20 mio people live. Its not really popular for outsiders, but it has the most diverse culture all around, with more than half a dozen universities. So, if you're looking for a place to study in germany, checkout Münster, Dortmund, Bochum, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Cologne, or Bonn. And, to finish, be sure to visit the german coast. There are a great many fine islands, plus a world nature heritage of the coastal tidal area, only two places in the world are like this. There also millions of birds rest on their routes from the mediteranean to scandinavia or siberia. And the north Sea is a sea for tough man, its cold and rough and full of fish, even seals or whales.
man so many places i wanna visit too. - much love from germany
6:08 the steps you see there is probably for whine production plants. The river right there is called the "Mosel" and i think they had some regional wine back then called Moselwasser (Moselwater). But i cant find the wine online.
I've been everywhere on this places but when I was at the eagles nest in Kehlsteinhaus it was so foggy that you could hardly see anything. That was sad. But I was there a week so I could see other things.

I‘m from Hannover it’s located in Lower Saxony which is btw actually higher than Saxony. And well I kinda like my City but it‘s one of the most dangerous city’s in Germany, believe me you literally almost everyday habe cases from Hannover where someone has been hit and the police has some crazy driving skills too. I‘m 18 now and I had 24 Injuries caused by the police driving skills, 7x Broken leg, 12x broken arms, and theother injuries were mostly head injuries where I got some trauma. Oh and we had cases where someone just shot someone who was sitting in their car with his children. Even though I love my City.
Spreewald is also very nice..
The problem with Neuschwanstein is, it wasn't finished in the first place. So almost all of the rooms were empty, even paintings and frames weren't completed. King Ludwig basically ruined Bavaria with this Castle and they stopped him by putting him down. So now it needs to be constantly renovated, while rebuilding the rooms as they were originally planned. But that's an expensive and never ending project. The castle nearby "Hohenschwangauc, King Ludwig lived there as a child, is way more beautiful!

Hi Joel, many greetings from the beautiful 'Berchtesgadener Land' (county of Upper-Bavaria). I live in the village of 'Bayerisch Gmain' between the towns of Bad Reichenhall and Berchtesgaden. Yes, the Hintersee, Königsse, Eagles Nest (Kehlsteinhaus), Maria Gern are hotspots here, which are really beautiful. Definitely a recommendation to visit. At the same time, we are on the border with Austria and the city of Salzburg. Also a hotspot to visit! So if you ever come to Munich again, it's only 2 hours by car to the beautiful Berchtesgadener Land - maybe even faster if there is no traffic on the A8 Autobahn and you can drive "a little faster". Best regards - Joachim PS: Did you see my email from December 27th?

Small correction: Hansel and Gretel did not live in the Black Forest, but in the northern Hesse mountains (Waldhessen). Well, reducing Germany to 10 places worth seeing is quite a challenge - and you managed to reduce them to two: Berlin and Neuschwanstein! This reminds me of my youth, there was a book for American tourists called: "Europe on two dollars a day"; Germany was also reduced to two places: Munich and Heidelberg! I couldn't do that, but I would definitely add Cologne and Bonn as well as the German North Sea islands (e.g. Sylt and Norderney) and the Baltic Sea coast!
You shuold visit Dresden, Weimar, Bautzen and Sächsische Schweiz. These are very beautiful towns and landscapes. Most visitors from America forget the east part of Germany.
Neuschwanstein Castle itself is not "original", as it is not a castle, rather a fancy looking mansion, built with modern means of bricks, concrete and steel at the end of the 19th century. PS: I have never been to Neuschwanstein myself. But I've been many times to Moritzburg Castle, the castle pictured in Germany's most beloved Christmas movie: "Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel" (Three hazelnuts for Cinderella).
There are so many castles in Germany! You should visit the "unknown locations". I'm from Aschaffenburg (Bavaria). There's the beautiful "Schloss Johannisburg"! Viele Grüße aus dem schönen Bayern ❤ Nico
Americans seem to have the idea that Grimm's fairy tales have something to do with the Black Forest. It is not so ! The Grimms were just collectors of fairy tales that were told to them in Kassel by knowledgeable women from Kassel and also from Westphalia. The Grimms edited and smoothed out these fairy tales whenever they seemed too wild or too revealing (including sexually).

Hi, you both! It`s crazy - me as a german - have never been there. I should also make those sightseeing tours in my own country! Especially because it should be much easier than for americans, for example. It`s not t h a t far away! But,....... well. (Sometimes it`s not so easy). 🙄😆 I personally love the region along the river Rhine (german: Rhein) - left side and right side - behind Cologne (gem. Köln) and Bonn (former capital city), between the little city Königswinter on the right side with the "Siebengebirge" (= mini-mountains) through Koblenz till Rüdesheim. Everything is much smaller and softer than the panorama of the Alps of course (!!!), but it`s tiny and lovely! It`s also a famous tourist region with lots of castles (partly more rustic). I like that. In Saint Goar (german: St. Goar/ "Sankt" Goar) there is a VERY interesting castle ruin with small tunnels where you can go through, if you are not too fat (!) 😂. On it`s way up the hill there`s a restaurant with a kind of "balcony" in the rock from where you have a beautyfull view on St. Goar. (It`s on the right side of the rhine). Not far away is the famous rock with the statue of the "Loreley". (There is a nice legend about this)! In summer there are the famous open-air concerts. Btw: Before the visit, or after that, you can "party" in Cologne!!! 😜(But there you should stay for 2 days minimum).

The whole castle of Neuschwanstein is not original. When built, it was as outdated as Disneys castle hundred years later. It is worldwide one of the first "houses" constructed by steel beam construction, like decades later the first NY scy scrapers. The "castle" even had electricity and telephone!!! It was just that, what a crazy kings personal ideas about all the different mideavel castles and styles of ancient architecture was. And then all mixed up together, not even finished, because the building bankrupted the king and the whole state of bavaria. Gotten bancrupted, Bavaria declared the King Ludwig insane, incarcerated him. Then Bavarias whole existence as a state was terminated and had to submit is existence under the reign of enemies neighboring states.

It is an original fake. Modern construction, trying to look like an old castle of several hundred years ago mixing the styles of different centuries. And did not even try or succeed to serve the function. an old castle would do. I have visited it 60 years ago when it was evident, that it is not an old or even ancient building. That was so evident to see even to a child. My own house ( and the disney castle as well) now is nearly as old, as Neuschwanstein then was. I saw the electrics , lamps, and electric controls table with lights and calling bells for the servants , the steel construction of the roof and the raised ceiling of the grand "show room" and the telephone still working. It even had a diving and uplifting table from the kitchen to the dining room. Nothing of all that would fit an original castle. There was even a plan for building a cable car down to the little lake like a modern ski cable car. Castle??? Original?? And-- he could afford it, as it was , as far as i know his third "palace". Like Micheal Jackson, he lived and thought his own "reality", which was as unreal as this "castle".@@juliaclaire42

After 10month in Finland i travelled back to Germany via Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Czeck Republic, all by bus and ferries. I really recommend getting an interrail ticket, so you are able to travel by train through Europe!!! Maybe just an idea, when you want to come back!!!

There are now also trout farmers in Bavaria who divert the stream and let it flow through the fish breeding ponds. The world's best caviar (via sturgeon) is now produced there because the water is so clean.
I think this list was seriously missing out. It looks like like a list made up by someone stationed in Bavaria for six months, who only had the time to go on very few short trips anywhere else. It reminded me of the German stereotype of Dirndl and Lederhosen. Not good. Where is the middle and the north? Pretty much non existent, even though they do have beautiful and fascinating areas and history.
Hans is out of fashion. As is Gretel. These names are part of the German folclore but not really popular anymore. 😂
Too bad the most visited location in Germany wasn't included! The most populous federal state was also left out. Pity!
We gonna not talk about that the 3rd person is missing from the video 🤔
