I wasn't sure why this video was recommended to me, well, I *do* study in Passau... let's watch! :D
I live in Passau its so nice city and also pepole is nice
I am amazed at your energy, driving, filming, editing. Elly has been a star, you must have had to fill her up each day, with a range of about 200 miles. No range anxiety! This is a great achievement, Ian! Enjoyed every video, am binge watching.
I've been arrested once in Passau, even the police station is nice :D
@@EgoShredder Wont happen in Passau. Its in bavaria so there are conservative people, they do not care about misgendering bullshit there at all!
@@EgoShredder In Lower Bavaria? Hell nah.
What was the reason 🤔
@@EgoShredder The "real" Germany? That sounds a bit 1930s to me. Especially in Bavaria.
@@EgoShredder Why? Because you feel you're allowed to be transphobic?
I love the fact that many roads and shops are closed in Germany and Austria, once you get used to it, its lovely. I'm not overly religious, but its so nice to have Sundays - one thing I do miss about living on the Continent.
Your choice of mystery European snacks has most definitely added to this adventure throughout!
you should try one if you get the chance they are quite tasty and nice relief for cravings. While you are at it try a "ranger" by the same brand.
@@Frostbait Both do not taste good!
@@paulhorn2665 i disagree but to each their own
@@Frostbait
agree......it´s a matter of taste ;-)
I've been visiting Germany since my childhood, and it remains one of my favourite European countries to visit.
When driving across the country on the Autobahn, you don't see much.
But when driving on B-roads, there's a lot of beautiful nature and lovely towns.
My favourite parts are the Alps in the south, Schwarzwald, and the area along Rhine between Mainz and Bonn.
Autobahn.... just lots of signs to Ausfahrt ! It must be a massive place.
I remember driving on the autobahn years ago. Just lines of trees and the odd sign. Very boring.
We don't add many comments Ian because we watch you via the Tele, but rest assured we're with you every step of the way! We're up to episode 11 which reminded us of a lovely holiday in former Yugoslavia :-) The effort you put into filming so much of the trip is really appreciated, but don't feel pressurised - sometimes less is more!
Love the “Oops! No Big Finale... ptschoo!” That needs to go on a T-shirt!!!
RichieT5 I think ‘Ptschoo!’ Stickers, would sell! - like hot Bifi! Another marketing suggestion for Hub Nut Corps.
Oh, please, no; my wife would get one to taunt me.....
@@thepofmeister - I'm pre-ordering 2 Ptschoo stickers *right now* !
(proceeds to throw money at screen...)
No, seriously. Its a good idea.
Yes, Germany, Is lovely and Passau is Beautiful.I live there.Lucky me😀😀
The three Rivers are the Danube, Inn, ( from Innsbruck in Austria) and the Ilz and facing the Town hall, was the Oberhaus.
I picked a place on a map in France to land North of Bordeaux and get through the traffic in our camper, and ended up on a bloody peninsula! We ended up getting a ferry off it. I thought it was a nice spot but my wife and our friend were less than impressed!
There are loads of places like this in Germany ,the Eifel area is stunning.
Spessart
....and the Westerwald.... :-))
Curious how fast Elly would be on the Nürburgring.
Reichsland Elsaß-Lothringen, for the win.
Eifel is motorbike heaven :) forget the autobahn, ok the speed is fun for a short blast, but the Eifel is a real test on an R1 or both enjoyable/relaxing ride on a crusier.
You’ll find the Zwiebelturm (yes, "onion tower") style all over Bavaria as well as in other Catholic-dominated areas in central/southern Europe. Often this building style was chosen to strengthen the church’s presence after the reformation. A major part of the regional Baroque architecture.
Germany is the best kept secret in Europe,get off the Autobahnen and you'll find some amazing places. I've been touring Germany on my motorbike for 20 years now,the place never ceases to surprise me.
I lived in Germany for a while, I loved it!
If you drive by Kassel and Fulda you will see some amazing scenery on the Autobahn as well; hills and forest and the motorway meandering over and through it like a gaint rollercoaster, with deep bridges over valleys.
Keep save Ian, and keep Ellie on the right as much as possible. Because Germans on the left and middle track of the Autobahn many times drive there with a minimal speed of 100 mls. ph. It can be a bit annoying to be stuck between trucks and caravans going uphill on the right track sometimes. But, believe me; having to deal with tearing Audi's, BMW's and Mercedeses, driven by German Jeremy Clarksons, growing in your rear view mirror alarmingly, is downright SCARY.
What a gem of a place (one I have never heard of until now !). All the better for being revealed in the inimitable HubNut style. This is proper travelogue of proper places worth visiting not the normal tourist tat locations of mainstream media. Excellent (as always).
Once on a trip to France, I randomly booked a room in an old hunting lodge in a beautiful old town , whose name I forget , and in the morning I threw open the shutters only to see a huge factory, St Gobain at the foot of the garden .
Fantastic as always, Ian. Thanks for the latest installment
I love Germany. I think often overlooked for city breaks.
It was certainly overlooked in the 1940s ;)
I did a city break in Stuttgart. Actually a really lovely town to visit.
That Itchy Boots beginning... Lol
Great video makes me want to do the same in our 2CV.
Thanks and have fun!
I live in Passau. Thanks for the visit. Our town is really nice. Gas everything you need and so much more. And one of the best campuses in Germany
You can pick 'em Mr Hubnut! Yet another wonderful part of the world. Beautiful. Thanks once again.
One of the nicer towns you have been to on this trip, fantastic sights and architecture yet again.
Thanks Ian.
Many thanks for making and sharing. The hidden gems of Germany!
Great report from Passau! Never heard of it, but looks like a nice place to visit. Thanks for another enjoyable update, don't know what I will watch every day or so once you are home!
#2CVtoCroatia
Glad your luck and mood turned for the better, the big cities and the hyper touristy places just don't do it anymore most just wanna rip you off. It's these hidden unknown beautys that are the gems of a trip these days.
🤘good to be back with you
Great views , better than any travel show on TV , Well done!
Fun and informative vid again Mr. Nut
Great series!
I passed through a snowy and Christmasy Passau en-route home from Vienna years ago. Stayed in a fantastic medieval hotel. I recall everyone greeting us with a Groß Gott which I thought was really rather charming. All the wealth must have been related to its fantastic transportation hub location. Glorious.
Robin Wells Gruß Gott.
Passau looks beautiful! PTSCHOO!!!
Hi Ian, well another super travel vid ...apart from Austria.....(not your fault), I loved Germany, and that was really nice seeing that again,really picturesque country,not so much the city's but the countryside and especially the Moselle Valley two more days in Germany lots more video I hope, This has been a total pleasure to look forward to watch.......... Best wishes
Hi Ian,Passau looks nice,even with the fort and boats make it even better to explore.
Totally missed opportunity for a PASCHAAUUUU at the end! Loving the videos, subscribed as soon as I chanced upon a video a few months ago, possibly one of the Twc series. Splendid and tremendous viewing. I barely watch TV at all now and you're one of the reasons I'm increasingly glued to TH-cam, which is no bad thing at all.
Most of Germany is beautiful, especially in the south. As long as you keep away from places like Neuchwanstien it is fairly quite even in the height of summer. Your videos have been good therapy as I lie in bed recovering from a back injury.
Best wishes!
@@HubNut Heres some areas well worth a visit, Eifel ,Hunsrück, Tubingen Coberg, Eisenach over in the east Zittau East Germany the list goes on and on. The Eifel is on your way back.
@@adrianh765
Great!! ......that would be the opportunity to visit the Wartburg Museum in Eisenach.
Thanks for the tips everyone. I'm planning a Europe drive earlyish next year.
Lovely, another beautiful stop off 😍
Lovely video Ian you may not realise how much you cheer us up watching them.
Hi I am glad to hear her you are out off that place and you are on the way home good on you bro see you soon nigel
What a lovely surprise! Looks like a very pleasant stay
Great video as always!
Here in Belgium, householders have the option of fuzzing out Street view, but usually can seen from Satellite view. Where I live next to the Royal Military College, recently both Street view and Satellite view have been tessellated.
Forgot to congratulate you on the discovery of the loose steering joint. A simple fix with big results. How satisfying. Thanks for more lovely travel footage. I loved the graceful suspension bridge across the river below the fort. Cheers
Delightful video.
au in Passau is like the 'ow' in how (google translate and forvo).Oh, you just said it correctly. Well Done.
Loving these videos.
Lovely trip
I worked and lived in Bavaria around the Munich area for 10 years. Wonderful people and place :)
Yes! I love Bavaria and the Bavarians, and even admire their Bavarian language! :)
I love Bavarian been here since 2007
You feel the same way about Austria as I feel about Hungary,cycled through Hungary twice,had trouble with the coppers because I was cycling on the road,because there was nowhere else,had my wild camping disturbed by the coppers,locals all grumpy,small villages with no shops,rubbish roads.
Brilliant video by the way,I've really enjoyed the trip
hi nice that you were visiting my hometown. Passau is really a nice and quiet town with many sights and nice restaurants.
Thanks to this video Passau went a few places up on my todolist.
LOVE the euro cyl lock in the ancient door! Reminds me of the brand new indicator stalk in Roxy!
yes at 6:54 gave my old weak heart palpitations. thanks for panning away. LOL. yes Germany is a beautiful place with its old towns and villages,lakes,rivers and mountains.
Have to say I do very much love Germany. There are some beautiful places and in my experience some very lovely people too 👍🏻
What a lovely city 👍😁.
I cannot seem to find any more of this series after this one(homeward bound and ferry)
It has always been a trip I have enjoyed viewing..
Passau my City 😍🤗 been here in passau since 2007
A sad day when this road trip finishes. It's been a daily visit to the lap-top to see the next instalment. By my reckoning, you arrived home on Friday. Until then, I shall be glued to my screen until you arrive in Blighty...or Wales.
Austria seems like a right pain in the arse to visit, Passau on the other hand is a stunning place to walk around, thoroughly enjoyed this road trip and the videos along the way.
no Austria is beautiful and I live in Germany
@@derek-press I'm not saying that Austria isn't a beautiful place, it really is beautiful, that whole part of Europe is. Unfortunately I suffer with OCD and because of that and the privacy rules I would feel very self conscious and that I was looking over my shoulder to ensure I wasn't doing wrong which would spoil it for me. In reality it says more about me than Austria.
I passed through Passau a few years ago on my way back from Czech Republic, and it pi**ed down. I was on my motorbike so decided to press on rather than stop, as I could not get any wetter. I noticed that the river was ver high, as many of the riverside car parks were flooded.
Just as well I carried on, as by the next morning, Passau was deep under water.
Stopped there the following year in bright sunshine, and no sign of any flooding a year earlier.. It's a beautiful town, and well worth stopping in.
Thanks for the info. It's on my "to visit" list.
So impressive how you’ve had all this organised and planned. Impressive logistics and planning.
There has been very little planning...
The 2CV "Ellie" is simply amazing, I would of never contemplated driving my fiesta of that era across Europe back when it was new, never mind at the age of Ellie.
You underestimate the Fiesta ! I drove to Bordeaux and back with the family (4 of us) in a Skoda Felicia estate. It was a great drive. I also met a young couple at a camp site in Brittany who had ridden their Honda 125 all the way from Sicily...two up with tent and camping gear ! Deep respect ! Its all about saying "bugger it" and just going ! Things work out OK. I love Bavaria too, but more down Rosenheim way is where I used to visit......where Goering came from incidentally.
So that's another place on the list to visit..
I'll passau straight through there.
haha just kidding looks like an awesome place.
Good video ian.(:-)
Indeed! Looked quite lovely...but no "Ptschoo! in Passau"!
What an interesting place, you struck gold there.👍
You mean Goldfinger don't you McPugg? 😄
@@klwthe3rd 😉
Ian bifi looks quite good,remind me not to go to Austria as the bikeliests would get on my nerves , free styling is much better when your touring in Europe, hope to see your new vid when you get to Holland and you can relax, i think the home stretch is making you grumpy.
Ian all the best on the way home, and thanks for the time and effort putting this together both on a physical,mechanical and financial level, so farewell,drive safe and we will see you in a future video........ptschooo
Just visiting your back catalogue as we couldn't go on holiday, love this not been to Passau, it looks lovely. Imagine it was once the gateway to the austro hungarian empire
My hometown!!!
Hey you visited my hometown :D really nice video! Hope you‘ll visit Passau again ;)
I absolutely love these beautiful historic cities! Nothing like these places in any way here. Maybe Montreal or Quebec city but I honestly dont think they can compare.
Keep safe over there mate
Oooo! Was that a VW Cross Golf at 6.25?
Great video Ian as usual..But no..No need to pan out!!..Nothing nicer than seeing a shapely pair of 'Ham and eggs '!!😊
That's a typical baroque cathedral finished in 1693. It took about 25 years to build it. There are quite a few of them here in Poland as well.
"It's a bun with sausage in it". Brilliant.
Great report Thank god you are away from Austria !.
If we all wrote to Austria and complained.... ?
Planning to pass through Austria later in the year, so the info about dashcams was invaluable. Thanks!
But thing with proper dash-cams is they're not recording most of the time.
Dash-cams ARE recording all the time or they’re useless. What I think you’re referring to is that they continually overwrite what they’ve recorded if nothing has happened. I must admit I never knew about this law and have done 3 lengthy campervan trips through Austria with front and rear dash cams running. Oops
You would probably get a warning. That’s all. I live near Austria, never been a problem.But you do get tourist, who literally walk into you Bardeen, And it. An get really annoying.
i don't want to pay 10,000 euro lol good vid ian
Germany, especially Bavaria, is extremely beautiful. Munich is lovely but expensive due to its touristy nature. The train ride from there to Salzburg is breath-taking, though I did a bit of filming in Salzburg not knowing about what you said regarding Austrian privacy.
Never been to Passau Ian but it looks amazing, it's definitely on the list for when this craziness is over.
I plan te see all the rest of this trip today. I started wondering what Elly’s fuel consumption was like and what this meant in total cost of fuel :p.
Cheers from Belgium!
That German town looks lovely to visit. Good choice.
You were rewarded for the disappointment of too much privacy in Austria with the most beautiful of cities in Germany.
Thanks for sharing ;-)
Passau, you pronounce it with an ou like in south. I was there once when I worked as a field engineer in radio communications, beautiful city, good food and friendly people. I remember I worked with an American engineer who was flying in at Munich and rented a car there. We were waiting for him at a radio site when a Mercedes parked at the gate. A familiar face with very big grin stepped out of the car: "It was only twenty dollars more!!!" 😂
Field engineer.... repairs fields ?
Great trip Ian - will you do a vid on total costs at some point ? Accommodation. fuel, tolls etc -would be interesting? However fully understand you may not want to tot it all up! 🙈🙈
Yeah, not sure I want to go there!
They will probably fine you when you come back after you've uploaded it 😄😃😁 It's not as if nobody wants to to take photos in Austria!
Ahh, I think you may have been a bit too far away to get a Dopler effect. Great video anyway with lovely scenery.
Oh it was there alright ;) but as you point out, the distance made the change very gradual - so not as perceivably noticeable.
We call that roof of the church "Zwiebelturm". In translation oniontower ;-)
The green color depend of the oxidiced copper where it is made from.
This kinnd of roof you can see mainly in "Süddeutschland" (south germany), or what you know better as bavaria :-)
We have a few green foofs in England due to copper. My school's roof was like that - all been replaced now - looks so bland on google maps now ;)
@@millomweb
That's sad. I like a bit of color on the roofs even better.
I am cosed to there! Making a long travel from spain as you are doing!!! Now in salzsburg
The area around Passau including nearby villages regularly gets flooded because of the confluence of three rivers, sometimes resulting in massive damage to property.
By the way, the domes on top of German churches are colloquially called 'onion domes' and are common in that overwhelmingly Christian country.
BIFI for the win... Just a reminder Ian, I'm happy to take a look at your gimbal if you want it repaired.
Cheers. ian@hubnut.org
I have no idea where Passau is, but now I want to go there. 👍
And the channel has travel tips, snack tips, picturesque views and classic cars.
Definitely think you should get a VW Passau next time!!
or even a VW PTSCHOO
Guess I can uncheck Austria off the countries that I will visit. If I can't take photographs due to fear of paying a huge fine, I may as well visit the country via the internet. Thanks Hubnut for the information.
Passau looks rather lovely and not a bad place to stay for a few days to explore the area. I'm half wondering if they do a Christmas market. A nice place to take a "proper" film camera and shoot some black and white film. Once again I feel genuinely enriched by random places and food I've never even heard of. After a brief Austrian pause, loveliness abounds!
Zadster They do have a Christmas market, like most towns in Germany andAustria.There are even Boat trios, that go from one to another between Austria and Germany.A lot of Americans do that in Winter,The Christmas market, is in from of the Cathedral.
I had the same impression of Austria when I was there a decade ago, and I never even left the airport.
Don't really think you can judge a place by its airport.
Not going to Austria for me, scares me after what you say. A beautiful city gift with your Airbnb, Passau, looks special.
Back in the day, I had an issue with some photography in France. I quickly finished the roll of film off and got it in the post just in case gendarmerie came a-calling. They didn't.
I guess the only place you can film people in Austria full in the face is while standing in Germany !
Most cities on the Donau (Danube) river are great. I am fortunate to deliver equipment to the passenger ships so I am quite frequently on the Danube river.
Actually Germany is beautiful, it is a shame most people only race down the Autobahn boasting at home how they traveled on an average speed of 300 MpH back home (of course) .
When I travel I prefer the Bundes Strasse ( the A roads ) as these are fairly quiet and take you to the nicest places. A 2CV is a perfect car to travel around for those roads.
I can also recommenced the Mosel River in Germany near Koblenz, vinyards and the beautiful Vulcanic Eifel, although most petrol head-amateur racer driving gods visit the Nurburgring, wreck their car and have to find out how to get home. Of course they purchase the Nurburgring sticker to show that they are part of a secretive brotherhood !
.
Much better ending to the vlog.
Austria is off my list of places to visit then. I did it once, so no need to go back. (Phil - Standish)
