Exploring GERMANY'S Amazing CASTLES: Road Trip Through Mosel Valley (Part 1)
What's the first thing you think of when you think of Germany? Okay, maybe it's not Germany's beautiful castles, but something like beer, bread or the Autobahn. But we think that castles should also be very high up on that list!
In this video (which is part 1 of 2), we go on a road trip in Germany, our home country, to explore Mosel Valley and go on a medieval castle hopping tour. Mosel Valley is a popular travel destination, for Germans and travellers from other countries as well. Mosel valley is one of Germany's 13 wine areas and it's well known for its excellent Riesling wines. The area also played an important role in Roman as well as medieval times, which is when the castles were built that we'll visit on this trip.
First up we visit Eltz castle (Burg Eltz), one of Germany's most beautiful and in our eyes underrated castle. We then drive to Beilstein and hike up to Metternich castle to enjoy a great view of the Mosel river. We also have lunch in Beilstein to eat German asparagus, which is in season right now. It's also one of those foods that German worship and that almost everyone goes crazy about when it's in season. We then make our way to Geierlay suspension bridge. It used to be the longest suspension bridge in Germany and it's publicly accessible 24/7. A more adventurous experience than we expected!
Also be sure to join us in part 2 of this German castle series when we visit Cochem castle and then end our road trip by sleeping in a medieval castle!

🏰 Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed part 1 of our castle tour - stay tuned for part 2! 😊 Also, let us know in the comments: how are you with heights - would you love or hate the suspension bridge? 😁🌉
Eltz castle is a castle's castle! Great location, the middle of no-where. Very serene scenery, nicely paced. Germans make fantastic white wine, but unfortunately you guys keep most of it for yourselves! Looking forward to next installment.
Wow amazing village 👍🆙🌹💮🌸🌺
WOW straight out of a fairytale - so cool! 😮😊

We meant it more as a joke 😁
Ok! :D To your comments about asparagus: No! Just, and simply NO!!! I living between Mosel and Ahr and yes their is a season for asparagus. But I don't like it! Nobody forced me ever to eat it! It is not the only thing Germans like to eat in this time of the year (Horrible! That sounds that we Germans have only asparagus to eat for one month! :D )! You don't have to eat it!! And of course nobody will exclude you from any society for don't liking asparagus! 😂 I don't know, how you nice tourists from all over the world (but especially from the US) always find the one German, who is messing with you this much! Or maybe you didn't get the joke in such exaggerated statements. ... Or maybeeee you spreading simply fakenews???? 🧐 Anyway: Yes the castle of Metternich is a ruin. It was absolute complete till the german asparagus-wars in 2017! 😋 So now I have to see the other videos too. I wonder if you visited the "Indiana Jones castle". Or the castle with the white maiden ghost. Or the castle that is always surrounded by wolves. Lets have a look... (And of course I liked this video!)

We're glad you liked the video! ☺️ We're German too (from Hamburg), so our comments were just a slight exaggeration from our side to show how seriously some people take their asparagus (we love it too) 😅 But the asparagus-wars sound brutal haha!

@@ZoeandSimon Ja! Die Spargelkriege fand ich auch gut. Oh Mann. Und ich quäl mich hier durchs Englische. Ich dachte echt da haben irgendwelche Amis die Aussagen von Einheimischen zu ernst genommen... Mooooment. Das heißt ja eigentlich IHR seid die Einheimischen mit den übertriebenen Aussagen! 😨 ;) Naja. Trotzdem schön, dass auch mal jemand Videos über das Moseltal/die Eifel macht/gemacht hat. Viel Erfolg weiterhin.
Please show us scenery not your face. Sorry, that's what we want.
