Great video. My mom was from Ulm, in the small ort of Solingen. Her parents home was torn down for some newer homes. The steps going up to there apartment were made from wood, and every step was bowed. My mom and her parents and three brothers going up and down those steps for many years. I was there three different times. The last time was in ,1978 when my parents sent me to a hotelberufsfachschule in Bad Reichenhall. My dad was from Ludinghausen in northern Germany. They met at a beauty barber shop in Canada. The beauty shop was on one end and the barber shop was at the other end. Dad's barber told my dad that there was a beautiful young German girl getting her hair done. So he walked thru to the other side and introduced himself. It was love at first site. For there 50,the wedding anniversary they went back to the beauty,/barber shop and they were surprised that it was still open. But the daughter and son operated it then. But they called there parents to come down. They were also shocked that they were still together. My mom died in 1999 and my dad passed away in 2009. He died because he missed his wife, and her cooking. Thank God I watch her enough to put some of her recipes in my head. My daughter just turned 31, her name is Gretchin Hope Liese. She could not get my middle name, only because only the sons can get it. My full name is Michael Von Liese. Somebody a long time ago was knighted, by a king or a queen. That's what I was told. Germany is a very beautiful place to visit, but it costs much more to live there then here in Florida. But if I had to pick a place to live, it would be Bad Reichenhall. No Hussle or buddle like in the bigger towns. And not to many tourists. Not like in Ulm or Muchen. That city comes alive in October. If I wanted that I just drive up to Helen Georgia. A beautiful German town in North Georgia. But I love the videos of all people driving in Germany. It brings back so many great memory's. When me and mom got to neuswaunstein the cart or wagon that took you up to the castle had wooden wheels, now they are rubber, less maintenance. And also the wagon driver was the toy maker in the movie. I still have his autograph. I could only wish to go back one more time to visit all my relatives, but it would be very hard in a wheelchair. Plus finding a vehicle that I can fit into. I stand now at 7 foot 3 inches tall and wear a size 19 sneaker.
Hello there.. thank you for sharing your story! Really feel lucky to be able to live in Germany and drive around. So much of it is still untouched and pure. I only wish to explore more of the country.
I drove the Romantic Road from its southern terminus at Neuschwanstein to Rothenburg ob der Tauber in 2017. Many sections of the modern road are pretty mundane, but sometimes if you get off the newer main road and back onto the older roads going through the villages it gets more interesting. I first noticed this when we ventured into Donauworth for breakfast.
We had to be very careful choosing our routes during this trip. We saved most of our routes in advance on the map but still got rerouted at some points. Google always shows the fastest route which can be mundane and German autobahns are usually not that scenic. Thanks for bringing this up! Half the fun of enjoying this trip is the scenic route.
Wonderful video Em!! I love traveling to Germany and you visited some of my favorite places in Germany. I visit Germany often and I love to vlog my travels as well. Let's keep in touch :) !!
It would be very hard to do justice to all the sights that you saw, and those you missed on such a short road trip. Wuerzburg is a great place to spend several days. and you were only able to skim the surface of this amazing Road! You missed the Wieskirche, as well as the fantastic Palace in Weikersheim. I've been to Germany many times and there's always more to see on the Romantischestrasse!
Hi there.. that’s true but also depends how much time you have and your budget. This trip was mostly about enjoying the road trip and to get a glimpse of what the Romantic road has to offer. We had only a week of vacation and we tried to get the best out of our limited time. We loved some of the sights more than the others and would definitely be going back to spend some quality time in each of those places.
Hi there.. We found paid street parking in the smaller towns like Dinkelsbühl but in bigger towns like Würzburg we googled for covered parking lots in the town center before arriving and usually found one easily. It was unusually hard to find a parking in Nördlingen. The roads are really narrow. We found a covered parking inside the town walls but it was tight to park and expensive for 2 nights. I would recommend parking outside the walls here.
We went to these same towns when we did the Romantic Road! Did you happen to follow Rick Steve's suggestions? So beautiful. Thank you for sharing your trip!
Hi Wendy! Thanks for your kind words. I do follow Rick Steve’s itineraries for many of my trips around Europe but not this one. I found out about the Romantic road from my German friends and got intrigued. After that, I just chose my favorite spots on the route and went for it. It was absolutely breathtaking! 😊
No, restaurants are not scarce in the countryside. I have so far _hiked_ halfway through Germany from north to south, avoiding major cities, and have never had any problems finding somewhere to eat. Fair enough, I have not necessarily found a place exactly at noon but there has always been some place somewhere. Nor have they been particulary expensive, rather on the contrary. A major tourist spot like Rothenburg could ofc be different
Hi there, I don't think it's a yes or no topic. We mostly stayed at villages that were off the beaten path and it really was difficult finding restaurants. The ones we found sometimes closed very early or had limited options. For example, we were easily able to find restaurants at Nördlingen and Rothenberg ob der Tauber but did not find any option at Creglingen when we arrived at 19:00 hrs. We are budget travellers so we usually try to save when we can. The definition of expensive could be different for different people. We found preparing our own meals way more convenient and pocket friendly. This was strictly our personal experience.
@@emknowsplaces I fully understand that you would want to fix your own meals when you can, no one is made of money. I just did not want people to get the impression that it is hard to find someplace to eat in Germany, even off the beaten path. Google maps shows 6 places in Creglingen...
Hi Emily, can you share the details for your accommodation near the Nauneuschwanstein castle? You mentioned a chalet, I would love to know the name as I am planning a trip this summer

You are very welcome!
Super just come back from this road
Yes.. truly great trip 😊
Great informative video. We had a night in Rothenburg last summer. Easily one of the top 10 towns I have ever visited. Simply beautiful.
Thank you for your message. Couldn't agree more.. these towns were straight out of fairytales.
Very nicely filmed. Amazing locations. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The map at the end is a real nice touch. Thank you
Glad you liked it 😊

Just arrived back home to Erlangen from rothenburg ob der tauber two days ago. Rothenburg is my favorite place to visit anywhere.
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

Hi. Thanks for this nice video. Did you need to purchase tickets to hike around the castle or even come up close to it?
Hi there.. nope you don't need a ticket to hike around the castle.. you need a ticket only if you want to enter the castle premises 😊
the church in Nördlingen was built with special stones from the meteorite impact
Wow! That is such an interesting fact. I had no idea. Thank you for sharing!
Hi Emily, can you share the details for your accommodation near the Nauneuschwanstein castle? You mentioned a chalet, I would love to know the name as I am planning a trip this summer

@ Romantic Road Road trip
Germany got soo much to offer.
Yes.. so true
....and that is just the very south of Germany
Absolutely!
Has anyone drove through this road using electric vehicle? I am worried about not having enough charge stations
I am quite sure you will find ample number of charging stations on this route.
