as a german u just often forget how many beautiful places we have in this country. the good thing about vlogs like this one is that u get reminded of those places and that u shouldnt just take everything for granted. lovely vlog! hope u enjoy all of ur travels!
Love that you're doing this trip and showing everyone the real Germany away from the big cities. When you come back to Germany make sure you visit the northern parts and the coasts and especially Helgoland. It's so different from what you've seen on this trip.
I second that! But stay away from Sylt!!! NOT worth your money. However, if you are looking for a secluded place with access to the train that can take you anywhere, let me know. I found the most awesome AirBnB!
well basically you have in germany 3 different regions, the north wich is more like the netherlands and denmark, and the south wich shares much with austria and switzerland. and then there is the middlepart of germany wich is more like the south then the the north but still different. and trough all regions the region on the rhine river is everywhere a little different. That of course is almost criminally over simplified but still it has some kind of truth to it :D
I might live in the 4th region, called "the tuscany of Germany". It's not really like Switzerland or Austria at all. It's more mediterrean. There's fig and almond trees growing, it's the hottest part of Germany as well with little rain throughout the year. It sounds so much more fun than it actually is though.
Actually I am german, i don‘t really know how I got to your Videos, but I am enjoying every second of your Vlogs. You are both so nice people with a great natural, positive and sympathecic character. It is so nice to see you both enyoying your trip to germany and it is actually really interesting to see how you recognize typical german things which I take for granted. I wish you a great time here and all the best for your future! If you are near to the cities „Aachen“ or „Bocholt“ (In the Western Part of Germany) and you want to See some things, let me know. As you are already really good at speaking german I just say „Dankeschön“!
Wie klein die Welt doch ist. In Schloss Waldeck haben meine Kollegen und ich die Zimmertüren eingebaut. Wenn man solche Bauwerke zu oft sieht, merkt man gar nicht mehr wie schön diese Region ist. Nordhessen ist einfach eine Augenweide
You Tube hatte mir den Vlog empfohlen. Gerade die "Gondeln" kamen mir sehr bekannt vor. Erst da habe ich gelesen, das es Waldeck und der Edersee ist, wo ich 2005 mal übers Wochenende war. Schön zu sehen, wie es nun ausschaut und wie es andere erleben.
@@FrankygoestoHobbywood I was 21 years and did a 5 week trip in Canada. Before i never noticed how beatuful my country was. That all started,when i came back. Grusse nachbarn.
I had your German Autobahn video in my recommendations and just watched all videos of your German trip. It is so nice to see how people from abroad love Germany with all its variety of different places. I hope you enjoy your trip and make lots of great experiences!😊 also hope you visit the Alps in the Southern part of Germany. All the best from Stuttgart!
Im super excited everytime i watched your vlog about germany ... every places in Germany was so interesting and very beautiful...stay safe and healthy ... auf wiedersehen! 😃😃🇩🇪🇩🇪
Great you enjoyed this leg of your trip! :-) Really great vlog! Historical facts about the area: The cable car from the castle down to the lake is one of Germany's oldest gondolas that still run with their original design&material, built in 1961. The "Edersee" (or "Lake Eder/Eder Lake" in English) is actually a reservoir that was constructed in the early 20th century, named after the Eder river. In 1943 during WWII, the dam was bombed by the allies causing some massive damage in the area further downstream when the Eder valley was flooded.
About the bread, normally in good German restaurants you do get bread with some kind of spread as an appetizer. Peanut butter is quite unusual though 😅 Btw you are showing me sites of Germany, I didn't even know existed as a German 😂
Oh you ain't seen nothin' yet. There's so much to explore around Edersee and the Waldeck region in general. Did you take a guided tour of the castle? Did you see the torture chamber? Or the 120m deep well? Were you at the dam? The treetop walk or simply the primeval forest (Unesco world nature heritage site) Kellerwald-Edersee. ...and that's just some of the things to explore right around Edersee. Go further and you find some more Castles like Bad Arolsen or even Schloss Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel with the Herkules and its water spectacle, some weird things like the crooked steeples from the churches of Korbach and especially Mengeringhausen. Long story short: you better come back again ;)
Yes, indeed, I'm from Hanover. bit I've been living in the Cologne area for the past 19 years. I'm enjoying watching you discovering German mysteries like "Currywurst", "Ampelmännchen" and "Parkscheibe". However, peanut butter plus cheese must be a specialty of that restaurant or region; I had never heard of that combination. But anyway, cuisine in Germany is different from region to region, which makes it hard to speak of a "national German cuisine" - but which also makes it more interesting for ourselves as Germans as well.
I am feeling you Jess, when that cable car got off the launch pad :) And am feeling this video, hitting on all the right notes, once again. The view isn't the only thing that's perfect!. Castle On the Hill...good song too :) I have roots in Germany , with relatives having lived in Stuttgart.
I was looking for videos to help me plan the Germany itinerary for my vacations when I came up to this one! It's super! Thank you You are are very nice and cute. I adore the way you show the places and taste things . You make us travel🤗🤗🤗 I've just subscribed to watch the other ones
Just found this channel and I love you guys! If you plan on going to the netherlands id be more than happy to show you some amazing places! I live in the southern part with some really old villages like "valkenburg". It be cool to show you around!
Thus is so awesome ... I thought the rooms to have a bit of vintage look by seeing the castle...bt i was wrong... It is soooo fancy,beautiful and super clean...👍👍👍😍😍😍 Loved to see this experience....
So this Peanutbutter and creamcheese thing is definitely not a typical dish. But I think the Restaurant had just a brilliant Idea. Anyways cool VLOG. Very interesting to see somebody foreign presenting the own country. Great work
Enjoy your trip here in Germany! Hopefully you keep these fascinating memories in your mind when you are back again! Greetings from northern Germany! :-)
Family Travel Vlog, you can even put it to a higher level if you put creamcheese, peanutbutter plus strawberry jam ( for Germans also butter😉) on toasted Graubrot! ( dark wheat bread) and enjoy...
Beautiful! TY for sharing. So cool to see you take the gondola back up to your castle for the night. That breakfast spread was amazing. Was that a honeycomb?
That was incredible! Your blogs are always so enjoyable :) Americans eat cream cheese on bagels regularly but I've never thought to add peanut butter, I may have to give that a go!
I dont know if its possible, but one of the key things for me when watching your videos is the beautiful music you use... do you by chance have a spotify playlist that you personally listen to?
I was born & raised in Dinkelsbuehl (Bavaria), if you ever travel down The Romantische Strasse (Romantic Road), you'll go right thru my Hometown … Save Travels!
5:45 Cream cheese and peanut butter is not a usual german thing, but you often get bread (white or brown) with different types of spread as starter at german restaurants. So it‘s like half-typical Sorry for my english, its not my first language. I like your Videos. Keep it up! 😉 🇩🇪
haha just watched the other video with u guys seeing u in fritzlar close to my hometown. and thought "ithey better visited the edersee" and here we go... haha. so nice.
It's incredible beautiful! Always a pleasure to learn something new about my own country! :D Something I was wondering about when I was playing in my mind with the 'castle' word: I think you are missing one word. We in Germany we have two words for castle: Burg and Schloss. Both each with a different meaning. A Burg may be older, was mostly built for defensive reasons, it has thick and huge walls for protection, and is not that decorated, like a Schloss is. A Schloss was often the official and representative building for a monarch and so you see a lot of gold, huge ball rooms with huge paintings, ornamented ceilings. It's more comfortable. These differences are just of the top of my head... maybe there's more^^ . Greetings so far!
God I love travel vlogs. I am so glad to speak English otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand the best vlogs! Yours definitely is one of the best. And subscribed!
Flying The Nest well you were exploring my country. ☺️ I hope you had a great time here in Germany! Enjoy your time in Europe wherever you're going next!
For the people who also would like to stay in a castle, but do not have a big budget, there are a lot of jugendherbergen (youth hostels) that are in castles! They are also very family-friendly :)
Also I hope you were able to look at the night sky from there because you can see literally thousands of stars there since the light pollution is super low. Literally has been the best night view of my life hands down
The next time you’re in Germany you have to visit Constance. It’s a beautiful town near the Swiss border and you can explore Lake Constance Germany’s biggest lake. It’s such a beautiful area and really worth a visit.
schloss translates to palace, castle to burg the difference is the schloss was mostly the residence of a noble while a burg was mostly a defensive structure witch also mostly was the residence of a minor nobel like a knight
I’m going to surprise my husby with cream cheese and peanut butter next time I go to the market. He loves peanut butter it’s his main treat since he has diabetes a little. Can’t wait to try!,
as a german u just often forget how many beautiful places we have in this country. the good thing about vlogs like this one is that u get reminded of those places and that u shouldnt just take everything for granted. lovely vlog! hope u enjoy all of ur travels!

@Stephen and Jess: Did you ever watch the WWII movie "The Dam Busters"? Perhaps it is here on TH-cam.
love that you are so happy with small german things^^

Beautiful! TY for sharing. So cool to see you take the gondola back up to your castle for the night. That breakfast spread was amazing. Was that a honeycomb?

That was incredible! Your blogs are always so enjoyable :) Americans eat cream cheese on bagels regularly but I've never thought to add peanut butter, I may have to give that a go!

great Vlog guys. BTW my g/f loves your denim jacket :)
OMG, I have never seen a whole honeycomb set up for breakfast! 😳♥️👍✌️
Hokey Smokes!!!! Cream Cheese and peanut butter is the bestist!
So funny, I always combine cream cheese and peanut butter. Didn’t know it was a German thing!
How fun to stay in a castle!!! ❤❤❤
Love your videos. I also wanna visit germany now... 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Wonderful Castel...🏰🏰🏰
Its such a beautiful spot 😍
For the people who also would like to stay in a castle, but do not have a big budget, there are a lot of jugendherbergen (youth hostels) that are in castles! They are also very family-friendly :)
It is near City Kassel where i live.i Love this Place . I am oft here
I've been to that castle in 8th grade (we were camping at the lake for a week in school) crazy to see it in a video :D
Also I hope you were able to look at the night sky from there because you can see literally thousands of stars there since the light pollution is super low. Literally has been the best night view of my life hands down
Bin ich die einzige hier aus Bayern? Bamberg, falls das jemandem was sagen sollte;)
Btw I love ur videos and thank you for sharing this!💜🇩🇪
The next time you’re in Germany you have to visit Constance. It’s a beautiful town near the Swiss border and you can explore Lake Constance Germany’s biggest lake. It’s such a beautiful area and really worth a visit.
It's Quark - es ist sehr gut!!! x
It’s now my moms favorite. Great source of protein for an older person.
very nice vlog. I really liked thoses great places. hope visiting'em one day
schloss translates to palace, castle to burg
the difference is the schloss was mostly the residence of a noble while a burg was mostly a defensive structure witch also mostly was the residence of a minor nobel like a knight
Waldeck in a stretched translation would mean forest corner :) and Frühstück is the early bite (piece).
Jess' german pronunciation is pretty darn good.
I just tried the cream cheese and peanut butter with bread and it is AMAZING 🤤🤤
What a cool video!
Very nice vlog
Thank you so much Amrik :)
I’m going to surprise my husby with cream cheese and peanut butter next time I go to the market. He loves peanut butter it’s his main treat since he has diabetes a little. Can’t wait to try!,
The fairytale route looks incredible!! 😍 Pity I’m too much of a wimp to drive overseas. 😂🙈 That castle was so cool!!
If you ever decide to come, hit me up and I can show you around :)
Hi what song is this on 2:26 ? I like it
Super vídeo guys! Question: what camera do you guys use to shoot?
Quite a few castles in Germany got converted to hotels to finance their upkeeps. But not all of them are as elaborate as Schloss Waldeck.
