Your killing me! I'm planning a 10 day trip in June and every time you post I want to change the trip. I have been using your videos to frame the trip, and sharing them with my boys ( 20 & 17) to have them help with the itinerary. You two are amazing guides but you have given me tooooo much. What a wonderful problem to have. Thank you!
Hahah thank you so much! We were just saying today that there is just not enough time to see everything in Germany. If you need help, we offer itinerary consultations! www.thatch.co/guide/2f8vrmaf0az7f/view
I’ve been doing the same😅
I live in Heidelberg and it's truly the most beautiful place, I love it with all my heart. I appreciate it so much that I can live here and write poems while sitting at the castle by night enjoying the view. My brother also got married at one of the castles!
that is amazing. I am very jealous :O
I took Heidelberg of my bucket list, as I´ve already been there (almost went to university there) and because it is quite touristy. But now it is back on, due to these hidden spots, which I can easily enjoy together with my two little dogs. I almost can imagine me having a little picknick at one of the castles, enjoying the silence and the view, whilst my dogs are running around and having fun before taking a sunbath.
That’s what Near From Home is all about! No matter how close you are to something touristy, there are hidden gems mere minutes away. It’s a philosophy we’ve stuck to for a decade now and it’s never been wrong. Not once :) The problem, if I may, is that travel content isn’t incentivised to create it, so it doesn’t get made, which is exactly what we want to help fix even if it holds up back and slows our growth. So I hope you stick around and check out our different series too, because no matter where we go we always try to find more than is expected.
It's the little, unknown villages and out-of-the-way places that leave us with the best memories. Shame that the algorithms push the same old locations and contribute to over-tourism to the point that you can no longer experience those places without a crushing amount of people. Thanks for the great content!
Thanks so much! You have hit the nail on the head!
We will be leaving to travel to Germany for the first time in 3 days. Your videos have been instrumental in helping us come up with itinerary plans and updates. This video came at the perfect time. We were still debating what to do with our time in Heidelberg, and this has given us some great ideas. Thank you!
Glad to have helped! Heidelberg isn't very big, so I think you could finish most of the main activities in a day.
Welcome to Germany
Have fun
I want to go to each one now 🏰 😍😍
Do it do it!
Headed to Germany in two weeks. This is just the sort of thing I want to see!
Thanks so much! :D
amazing video sir, you deserve more
Excellent video! 4 castles, I can't wait to see them in person.
Thanks so much! Hope you have a nice time.
Wow that was a great video! I cant believe how peaceful it was compared to busy Heidelberg. Its a true hidden gem. Take care!
Thanks! It's really fantastic
I've watched all of your Heidelberg videos, and they remind me of my days whilst in the US Army in Mannheim. You might want to include a visit to Hirschhorn in the future, as it was available by means of a scenic but short trip by boat back "in the day." I recall making this cruise with a couple of my Army buds and we stopped there and had a beer at the restaurant terrace prior to returning a couple hours later back to Heidelberg.
Thanks so much for watching! Will add it to the list!
Thanks! Very much enjoy your smaller unique festivals and off the beaten path places. We plan on retiring soon and slow traveling and we will definitely keep your videos in our back pocket.
Thanks so much! That sounds awesome.
that was utterly lovely. THANKS
Thanks so much! That really means a lot!!
I can't believe I didn't know about your channel. I am from Gräfenhausen. My dad was in the air force and was stationed at Rhein Main AFB. We lived in the tiny village instead of living on base. We loved Germany. Your video cause me to yearn to go back. I am 63 years old. So, I don't know if my health will let me ever go back. But, I dream of returning one more time. I have only just found your channel, so I am not sure if you have already traveled up to Rheinland. We lived close to Frankenstein
Castle (10 minutes away) which was my forst castle to ever tour (back when i was 10 years old.
Also, Oppenheim am Rhein was a neat town to visit. I have also great times staying in Gutenfels Castle and Burg Liebenstein. Rheinfels castle was great. Was very very large. Our favorite castle to a
stay in was Rheinstein. If you havent already been to that region (near Rudesheim) please consider making a trip up there. Die Lorelei is also interesting.
I have really enjoyed your videos so far. Looking forwarded to watching more of your videos this holiday weekend. I sent you a thank you gift. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching! It sounds like you had a really wonderful childhood in Germany and your family made the most of it. We will check all of those places out when we eventually get back out to the Rhineland. It is kinda hard to get out there, because it's a three hour train ride, so we have to plan a lot and book hotels.We're hoping to make another trip happen this summer!
I hope you are able to get back out to Germany!
Great Video
I'm excited to see how you liked the Maultaschen!
Stay tuned! lol
Apparently it's not Maultaschen. It's like a Baden-Württemberg version of Maultaschen, so *very* different hahaa
@@NearFromHome Maultaschen are from Baden-Württemberg, not from Bavaria🤣
lolol well thenI have no idea. I haven't started researching for the food video. we shall see@@arnodobler1096
@@NearFromHome They most likely come from Maulbronn Monastery, hence MAULtaschen. Meat used to be forbidden on Fridays and during Lent, so the monks hid the meat. That's why they're also called "Herrgottsbscheißerle" (God deceivers).🤣
ohhhhhh
That's hilarious
Can't wait to check out these hikes this summer! Thanks for recommending them. I would have never known about them otherwise.
Awesome! Glad to have helped.The hikes are really great!
Very well done!! Excellent video
Thanks so much!
Thats what i like about Germany (and most of Europe): There are so many beautiful little historical villages and towns with castles, ruins and a fascinating history nearly everywhere you go.
But most tourists just end up visiting the big cities which are soooo boring in comparison.
That’s why Near From Home is here, to help show hoe close these hidden gems really are and show you how to get there!
Lovely video - a great city.
Thanks so much!
you're welcome @@NearFromHome
Nice videos with some great tips, thanks!
thanks!
It is nice ..I work the back and flowers since 2010 till present
Thanks!
That's so cool!
Good video as was your Hiedelburg video. Question…Can you get to the last two ruined castles by taxi from Heidelberg or from the train station you went too.
Unfortunately no! It's a dirt walking path off the main road through Neckarsteinach.
You missed out on entering the well tunnel at Dilsberg castle. It's only possible in summer as there are bats hibernating in the tunnel, therefore it closes by the end of September and only opens in May, I think. That's also really worth it - and way better for people with vertigo (I'm struggeling with that as well) - less for those with claustrophobia, though ;-).
Ah we went in October. Will check it out next time! We definitely want to return with family. The heights will be....interesting.
@@NearFromHome There are some more hidden gems in the area. Only a few kilometers further up the Neckar vally from Neckarsteinach, there is another place with a really impressive castle - Hirschhorn. There is a very scenic trail from its old town up to the castle - no seethrough gates, but still a nice challenge for vertigo ;-), and it has nice views, too.
And you have passed through Neckargemünd on your way to Neckarsteinach. Even many locals don't know that it also has a castle ruin named Reichenstein. It has alread been a ruin for more than 600 years, so no high towers or walls left, but still an impressive site.
You can do it🍻
Thank you!
AN historian! Jesus... I'll be there in September.
AN historian what?
