Goodbye Germany - What I Loved and Learned

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- For my final video in Germany, I take you guys on a drive through the part of Bavaria that I got to call home for the past year and a half, known as the Oberpfalz, or Upper Palatinate. After driving through a few, small Bavarian towns, we arrive at one of my favorite places off the beaten path and reflect on my wonderful time in Germany. I take you on a quick hike up to Burgruine Waldeck and talk about the lessons that this country has taught me and what I loved that I'll carry with me as I enter the next chapter of my life.
Nice video.
As an Indian🇮🇳 I felt the same when I visit Germany 🇩🇪 awesome country but this beautiful country didn’t leave me as a tourist it made me to learn German ,search job and finally I am settled here with my family just a year ago it happened.
Nehmt Abschied Brüder,
Ungewiss ist alle Wiederkehr
Die Zukunft liegt in Finsternis
Und macht das Herz uns schwer
Der Himmel wölbt sich übers Land
Ade, Auf Wiedersehn
Wir ruhen all in Gottes Hand
Lebt wohl, Auf Wiedersehn
I remember that from my uncle after WW2 he sometimes sang Songs and told me about being in a Russian prison camp,
@@margritpiepes8242 It is a old song.
The song Auld lang syne, written by the poet Robert Burns (1758-1796), is based on a Scottish folk tune. It has been freely translated into many cultural languages, and it is popular worldwide as a heartfelt farewell song. It sounds at the end of every major scout meeting.
I live in the Netherlands near by the German border. Germany is our second home. We go to Germany at least 4 times a month. South Germany is very beautiful . Schwarzer Wald, Bodensee, Allgäu, Berchtesgadener Land, we loved it very much! And then all those beautiful castles of Lodewijk II AWESOME!! Several times we went on holiday to Germany and we still can not get enough!!!
Und wir lieben Holland! ❤️
NRW is beautiful too!
Europe I love u🥰
@ Jolanda Jonas In fact, living in NRW, we are so happy to have The Netherlands as our neighbour ♥️
It's a beautiful place !!! Germany will miss you too !!! Auf Wiedersehen !!
Dude, I live in Germany since 2000 after being a refugee from Chechnya. But hell yeah Germany is awessome! Germans gave me power!💪
That's really good to hear! Really, I love that. Thank you for sharing.
@zarbon18 Ichkeria !
@Whoever What kind of a comment is that??! Do you insinuate, that everyone coming to Germany is on social welfare or aspiring to??
There are hundreds of thousands industrious, hard working people, learning the language, paying taxes and wishing for a normal life.
Anything wrong with that, whoever you are?
@Whoever Wahrscheinlich bist du selbst auf Hartz und hast nun Schiss dir ne Schachtel Kippen weniger im Monat kaufen zu können, oder wie? Armselige Kreatur.
zarbon18 ... we are ONE!
Auf Wiedersehen means until we see each other again. So you leaving Germany will not be forever and you will always be welcome here as the nice, gentle person that you are. That's what I would write into your notebook, had I ever the chance to find in on Burg Waldeck.
I love how you say goodbye. It means you wish to see eachother again :)
@@filmsmith Another way to say goodbye is "Leb wohl", which roughly translated means "live well" and means: "If we don't see each other again, have a good life"
@@ulliulli Isnt "leb wohl" a finite bye? I say that when i dont want or dont hope to see someone again, but still wish them a happy life.
@@Sizzlik Correct. Lebwohl is the same as "farewell" in english. You only say that to someone who you will not see again.
...you're very charming and see Germany in asimilar way I see it now - it took me many decades checking allover Europe - but now where I'm retired, I see all that beauty around me, daily, for free, just a hike away.
Germany never leaves you Andrew. I was stationed there in the late 80's for 2 years and it became a part of me. I met my wife in 2012 and shared with her my love of Germany, and in 2018 we decided to go back and do a road trip after 30 years. She absolutely fell in love with Germany and we went back in 2019 for another road trip. We plan on going back later this year if Covid19 cooperates.
Dear Andrew,
it is good to see Germany through the eyes of a "stranger". Only then one will appreciate much again.
Good luck on your way and goodbye!
es ist sehr erfreulich zu sehen und hören, dass es dir in unserem schönen Deutschland gefallen hat! menschen wie du sind, ich denke ich spreche da für die meisten deutschen, immer herzlich willkommen. :)
Auf Wiedersehn my beloved Germany. My great grandfather's grandfather came to South Africa from Berlin as a Missionary. Watching this video, was a glimpse into the past, what Gustav Trümpelmann left behind, his beloved Germany.
Love Germany. Its a beautiful place where people respect each other and care for the planet. Safe travels. We welcome you back with open arms!
@Ksch Koff respect is earned, not owed. check your entitlement... the trump administration HAS bought the whole worlds supplies of remdesivir for the next 3 months. don`t complain to get called out for the ugly face of selfishness your country presents to the world ;)
johola True .....
@@johola respect is earned, not owed. - I am so gonna steal that...
@@johola so goddamn right, trump threatened India to send medicines like seriously, Americans really need to learn how to respect
@@johola I see it this way: everyone gets an advance on respect, but it is up to them to earn the rest
My son and grandson(11 months) live in Berlin.....i love Germany..my wish to move there in a few years.take care
Come back and stay next time!
Being a native german, I am like a few others in a special relationship with my home country. It is more or less a love hate love relationship. I just stumbled over your channel the first time and I am done with hate right now, I feel so relaxed after your love proposal to my country, even though you are only referring to bavaria. All the other places also do have specials to experience, I wish all the best to you and until we meet again, probably in another part if Germany. For the time being, stay safe and out if trouble. Help others to embrace the world so openhearted. 🧡
A great declaration of love to Germany. Thanks and all the best!
Thanks for your great videos and the love for our Bavaria. Really appreciated. Great that you can take something from this german experience. You are allways welcome. You definitly represent the America we love. Stay safe! 🖖🏼😎 Greetings from Franconia.
That place is about an hour away from where I live, in Regensburg. Been living here for 20 years. I don’t plan on leaving.
Your skills are amazing. It's nice to see such positive and openminded people like you. All the best to you guys!
Thank you so much!
So sad to see you leave. Your videos are amazing so please keep making them in the US if you can. I think not just your German audience would appreciate that. Best of luck for both of you in Portland. It has been a pleasure to be able to follow your travels and experiences.
Thank you for watching, but especially for interacting with me during my time here. That is my favorite part of having rhis Channel.
Bavaria is so beautiful. I’m an American living in Austria and my favorite thing to do is hike to the castle ruins. The other day we went to a castle that was lived in and abandoned before America was even discovered. Blew my mind. My German husband just rolls his eyes but I love that stuff!
the underground foxholes are fridges. people used to store food and beer down there before there was power in small towns and villages. they often filled it with ice they collected during the winter. keep it in your heart. and the next time you will visit it will feel like coming home.
I'm so glad you enjoyed Germany! Greetings from Hamburg
Schön, dass du da warst!
Dude! I loved your videos and I loved the way you learned to get to know my country. Do not ever forget your experience of a cool, neat and open minded country and tell the world how we really are. Your experiences were my experiences. Thanxalot for your videos. Continue having a great time, wherever yu may go! Dammit, the last few seconds I got some waterfilled eyes like Spongebob often had ;) It's like a friend leaving...
Thanks man, that's really nice. Ill always speak highly of Germany and its people. Take care of yourself and eachother.
Onkel Lü @ the same here..I am from Austria and I get home sick when I see this video😥have a safe trip back home..🍀
@@filmsmith Thank you so much!!
I miss and love my Country GERMANY soooo much.
From a professional pov this was the best edited video not only of yours, but all the "living in Germany"-videos I've watched so far on youtube. You nailed the shots, cuts, transistions, text style/timing, music, overall rythmn and most importantly a perfect balanced "story" with no lengths at all that captures the viewers attention and feelings from the get go until the very last second. Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor dir.
You are a very lovely person and du hast dein Herz am richtigen Fleck! Bewahre dir das gut! :)
Thank you for appreciating the work! Thanks for the comment Mr Pink
But, if you turn too professional, it becomes depersonalized. A bit like home-staging if you want to sell your house. Keep the limit of telling a story and selling a story.
Well said.
that's what I was thinking as well
I have seen a lot - of you're clips and many others - you have a beautiful mix of great landscape and location discovery, moderate comentating and very professional handlinf of cam, drones and above all... ? a great eye for photography! Keep it up! Any travel chanel surely would love to broadcast - if you only try ?
Andrew
Thank you for sharing your amazing experiences. You did a spectacular job of sharing. As an old timer that became enamored with the beauty and people of Germany in the late 70's and early 80's it was so satisfying to know that I was not alone with the connection and affection that one can have for such a warm and magical land. You artistry was fantastic. I will forever cherish the journey. Probst brother!
Thank you for your kind words Larry. I will forever miss Germany.
@@filmsmith Well, you don't have to miss it forever. You are still young and maybe your path will lead you back one day? Anyways, if you DO come back, I might have recurring small editing jobs for you if you want to earn some money. ;)
Greetings and stay safe!
Thank you good sir, for reminding me very intensely of how beautiful and precious my home country is. I wish you all the best and maybe you'll get a chance to come visit us again.
What a beautiful video you created there. Thank you! TH-cam has just suggested me to watch it. I’m German but living abroad and it makes my heart ache a little to watch your video. I’ll start looking at your old vids! I wish you all the best for your future back in the US.
Wunderschöne Liebeserklärung an Deutschland. Danke!
I never thought about the similarities between Bavaria and The Shire and Hobbits. We usually grow a little bit shorter, love to meet up with a bunch of people to eat and drink beer. We usually don't go away too far, because we love our beautiful land and although we have a very calm and friendly nature, we can get very grumpy!
those hundreds of years old storage cellars were built in the ground because refridgerators respectively electrical power didn´t exist. For hundreds of years iceblocks were brought from the alpine glaciers and storaged in those cellars (also in ordinary cellars of ordinary buildings) during the warm seasons in order to have a low temperature enviroment to keep things fresh. Down there those iceblocks lasted for some weeks before they were melted down and you needed new ones. The deeper down those cellars were the longer lasted the ice. Even the ancient Romans did that already.
That cave looks very likely to be an old escape tunnel of the castle but those were also used to attack the sieging enemy from the back...but back in those days the entrance would have been hidden for sure.
@bademeister In the caves of " Pilsener beer" you can get lost if you have no guide.Its a " labyrinth ".
We were told its dangerous to go in alone.
@bademeister ....grad gelesen....es ist das weitläufigste und größte Tunnelsystem Tschechiens ( eigentlich der ganzen Welt...).Ursprünglich 20 km (!) unter der Stadt, aber 11 davon sind zugeschüttet.Da muss ich mal hin.
@bademeister That's not true: Pilsener Beer was invented by a *bavarian* brewer in 1842. But almost 100 years earlier, in 1745-46, the well-known architect Johann Michael Fischer already has built a beer cellar in my home village, which still stands. And the ice wasn't brought from alpine glaciers but was just sawed out of the frozen fish ponds nearby. It lasted through the whole year.

Man you made cry watching your video. I am a German living in Slovakia right now. Thank you for sharing that.
I literally cried watching this video. The beauty of the land, the music in the background and how you put Germany into words moved me. It was as though I myself had fond memories and was able to relate. I’ve developed a mild obsession with the idea of moving to Germany recently and seeing my birth place prior to finding your video. My inexplicable reaction tells me my soul wants to return to a home I have never known. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hope you make it there Millie! Wish I was still there. It gives me satisfaction to hear that I made you feel that way. I wish you the best!
I can’t wait. Hopefully you can make it back as well. All the best on your new journey.
Hello Andrew. Your motivation and your video skills are amazing. Hope you to come back to germany. Thank you.
I will stay in Germany forever. It's feel like home... :-)
nice to hear that. THX
Nice meeting you Andrew ! All the best , take care and auf wiedersehen !
Just found you. Seen you comment on a few other channels and videos from others.
I lived in Germany for 11 years, Hanan, Nurnberg, I worked in Graf, Hohenfels and Katterbach. Been back stateside for 16 years. I want to go back so much. I love Europe. This video was awesome. Thanks.for bringing Germany to my living room
It sadden me, to lose a valuable member of our society. Wish you the best for the new part of your life.
That's really nice. Thank you :)
Glad you enjoyed it here! We sure did enjoy your wholesome videos! :)
Auf Wiedersehen!
I love this video, so much emotions and really great pictures! Thank you for sharing!
Ich lebe in Nordbayern/Franken und möchte da bleiben bis ans Ende meiner Tage. Ich kann von mir behaupten das ich die Welt bereist habe, unter anderem 6 Monate die USA. Es gibt überall tolle Länder und Meschen. ...but Home is where the Heart is....und das schläg tfür mich in der "Fränkischen"
Hi Andrew, the caves have been used to store goods that had to be kept fresh, especially food. There are many storages like this all over south of germany and also in other regions!
I enjoyed your videos and your perspective on germany a lot, thank you for all this! I wish you two all the best for your next episode in life :)
Hessen ist genauso. Wenn du nicht in eine Großstadt gehst sind alle freundlich und herzlich. Und selbst in Frankfurt am Main meiner Stadt gibt es gute Dinge. Ich hoffe es hat dir gefallen. Du bist immer herzlich willkommen
@@Ajnoguin ,überall in Deutschland ist es schön,gerade jetzt merkt man es....man muss sich nur von den “Deppen“ fernhalten.Ich lebe im Hinterland von Hessen und bin noch ein richtiges Dorfkind👍
Your "hobbit holes" are "Kartoffelkeller". So, storage for potatoes. And cause potatoes should be stored in a dark and not to warm place, they where stored there in the hobbit holes.
I am from lower Austria. We have ( listed) whole streets of Hobbit Cellars. Some have a little hut in front of the entrance, where the wine press used to be. The cellars go up to 100m and more into the ground as a tunnel. They are there to store wine as they keep the same temperature all year long. In not wine growing areas they will be root cellars. Potatoes, Karrots storage. Dark, not too dry. Google picture search: Kellergasse
Potatoes in a hobbit hole. Makes sense: th-cam.com/video/7wzLpx9QQWU/w-d-xo.html
Great video with fantastic enthusiasm! Keep up the good vibes at any place.
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you sooo much for representing Germany the way it deserves! You have amazing video skills and I hope you'll continue this kind of videos wherever you may go :). And regarding the castle ruins...I would so much love to rebuild all destroyed german castles. I think that would look pretty awesome :)
OMG! I am SOOOOO sorry you won't be in Germany any more. We arrived late 2019 and didn't get settled in our new home (in Amberg) until it was about time for all the borders to be closed. Although we still have not started traveling as we expected to be by now, I have finally started my blog about "Living and Loving Europe by way of Germany" for which you have been an inspiration even before we left the states to come here. I will still be directing readers to your TH-cam channel because it's so awesome. I adore all your footage, but more than anything I love how much YOU love Germany! Your closing comments on this video were heartfelt...........I'm wishing you the very best in Portland. Thanks for giving so many of us such incredible views of Germany!
I really would like to say THANK YOU for your entertaining, thoughful and interesting videos about germany and europe while you had the chance to be here! I´ve followed you and your channel for nearly 2 years now and was really impressed by the fast improvement of your videos quality and your editing skills!
The "cologene Carnival", "Salzburg" and "Beautiful Lisbon" videos were my favorite ones because they (in my opinion) showed the many sides of you, your video&editing skills and the things you are capable of when it comes to editing/making/and uploading videos! I am really really sad that you have(decided)to leave our beautiful country and europe, but I am also grateful that you and your wife have been here and
found the time to entertain us with your experience and great videos about a foreigners views/experiences and opinions of/with germany and europe! Thank you both sooo much for the last two years!!! I´ll still follow your channel and videos, because I fell in love with you guys and I do hope that you spread the message that
germany in the year 2020 is not all about Nazis, the Autobahn and Schnitzel to your folks back home.
Godspeed and all the best to you, your friends/relatives and whatever the future might have in stock for you!!!
Thank you for beeing here and sharing your little adventure with us!
Thank you so much for watching and most of all interacting with me during my time here. I want you and the rest of Germany to know how we feel about you guys here. I will forever speak highly of this place and of the people. Take care of yourself and Ill see you on the next one :)
Germany did it to me as well. If I ever come to the USA I'd be coming to Portland for the Gorge Festival. I have loved your positive videos and hope that you will make videos about Oregon.
I'll definitely keep making videos. Thank you!
Die Stadtverwaltung Waldeck bedankt sich für diesen Imagefilm! :D
One of the best Videos i ever seen from an american who lived in germany, very very good,thank you for this Video...i must see your other Videos next time😊👍
Thank you!
I love to see my country through your eyes - always a pleasure! You're welcome back anytime as a friend!
Good luck in Portland!
Yours, Paul
Thanks Paul! Hope you keep in touch on this channel. Take care of yourself.
Thank you so much for all your fantastic videos about Germany and for your thoughtful notes at the end! It was a pleasure to have you and your wife here. All best wishes for your future in "Nalf-town" - I'm really looking forward for whatever you will show us next 😀! You have an awesome talent for making feel-good videos 🤗!
Andrew Smith: Driving 150 km/h on the Autobahn. Every German Car Driver: MOOOOOOVVE! :p
It has been an honour to had you in Germany.
Hope, you had a chance to also go to Schlammersdorf and pay a visit to the Püttner brewery.
You guys are always welcome to come back and stay here.
Keep healthy and Gottes Segen auf all euren zukünftigen Wegen...
My dad was stationed in Bitburg Germany back in 1978.....I wound up falling in love and marrying a guy from Luxembourg (country just next to Germany)...never looked back. With the exception of my brother, my whole family stayed...and we built our lives here. No regrets!
That's awesome!! Not a bad idea :)
Thank you for this great video...only spend two years in der Oberpfalz ....definitely miss it...Drink a Zoigl for me before you leave...God bless.
Love, love the video, fantastic job. I am going to miss all the videos of Germany presented by you!! See you soon in Portland!! alAnd you are right about the similarities between Germany and Oregon!
Thanks Cesar! Sad to leave but excited for Oregon :) Hope to visit with you guys soon.
I've never watched a video from you before but this one brought already little tears in my eyes... :) Watching a few videos like this, gave me a new perspective of my own country. Thanks and be well. Greetings from Illertissen :)
Hey, really enjoyed all of your videos and the fact that you had such a good time. too bad you had to leave so soon... come back! :-)
I‘m really sad to hear that you are leaving 😥 Thank you so much for letting us be part of your journey and for the impressive and beautiful videos! - Greetings from southern bavaria
Thank you for this wonderful good bye video to my home country. Living in the South West of the US this has been an unexpected gift of home today 🙏 safe travels
My pleasure! Thanks Mara :)
I just discovered your videos. Nice. You’ll be back to Germany before you know it. I’ve been returning to Germany over 25 years. Thank you for sharing your video.
5 months without a new video from you have been tough! Seems like I am addicted...
You were not too far from where we live - Kreis Forchheim - so we understand why you love the area so much. I think you'll be back, it will draw you here.
Thank you for this beautiful and heartwarming video and showing this fairly unknown side of my home. Most people focus on big cities and nightlife (and there's nothing wrong with that). But it is refreshing to see how you enjoy those sides that most would overlook. The countryside has so much to offer and it really took me living abroad to finally notice that.
Dear Andrew, sometimes you lose track of your own surroundings because in the course of your life. You are busy with too many other things instead of seeing the beauty of your own country. Fortunately there are people like you who have eyes for the essentials in life ... namely life itself and the wonderful nature that surrounds us.
It's a shame that I found your videos too late. In my spontaneity, I would certainly have invited you to my hometown. Too bad!
Your last words you wrote in that book make me feel emotional. I hope you'll find a way backwith more of this kind of videos.
Fare well and stay healthy.
Thank you for the kind words. I hope to be back someday as well. It was the best time of my life.
You will be missed!
Auf Wiedersehen 🖐🏻. Es war schön mit dir! Bis bald.
Thank you for this awesome video of my home country. Germany means Heimatgefuehl for me which describes the emotion of feeling at home. Our child says where we live at the moment is our home (Zuhause) but the real home is Germany (Heimat). By the way one can see that you are really sad about leaving Bavaria, the sadness shows in your eyes. Hopefully one day you get a chance to come back for a couple of years or even get to retire in the Oberpfalz like an American friend of mine! Also some local TV stations are looking for staff in video and film production from time to time...OTV is one of them..good luck in Portland, good luck with your video production career!
Auf Wiedersehen 😢 Alles Gute 😊 Dankeschön für all die wunderbaren Videos👍 Come back soon🇩🇪
Andrew, this video really opened my eyes to seeing things in a different light. I have been going to Nursing school for 2 years, recently things didnt work out and I found myself having to close the door on that dream. Now my husband and I need a little change and decided to look for jobs in Germany and live abroad for a while. I'm hoping we get lucky and have a chance to live there. Where one door closes, one opens! Thanks for reminding that things sometimes happen for a reason.
Wish you the best of luck Maria! I hope you get to go and experience Europe. Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot to me to read comments like this.
Good Bye Andrew, It was a pleasure meeting you several times. I can't wait to see how well you put Portland on the "small screen" here. Best wishes on your new adventures.
Thanks Les, it was great to meet you too!
Ach, ne! Tschüss... und pass auf dich auf!
its true, there is no more lovely and beautiful place , very romantic, than Germany WHEN THE WEATHER COOPERATES ! Gruss. R.
Couldn't agree more!
Dear Andrew, I really love your video and it‘s message. Keep up your good spirits and have a great start in Portland! Don‘t forget Germany and come back some day... Best of luck for you! Hardy
I think the proper use of "wiedersehen" in your case would be to stand up, raise your beer and announce loudly to the crowd "Auf ein baldiges Wiedersehen", take a sip, accompanied by a silent burb to the beard. PROST!
Jawoll und Prost there is a saying like a little song "Ein prosit ,ein prosit der Gemuetlichkeit" it means ACheer ,a Chee,r for to be Comfortable.its like a Beer tent thing .
Auf Wiedersehen! Meaning: till the next time we see each other again!
Thanks for taking us on your journey and let us see our country through your eyes! I loved every video! Have a safe trip home, take care, and be back soon!
hey, these rooms in the mountain are intended as a basement and also as a shelter. What is also interesting about Waldeck is that it was on the other side of the Schlossberg until the end of the 17th century.
Dear Andrew, thank you so much for your view. I am looking forward to my next trip home and I hope I will find your journal up at the ruins. Good luck to you
Thanks for watching! Hope it's still there when you get there. I'm curious to see what people will write in it, but I guess I'll never know.
Nice video. Hope you coming back one day. Waldeck is near the place where i grew up and lived for 7 years. Glad to see that again.
♥️♥️♥️ We miss you guys!!
Thank you to remind us that we have such beautiful and lovable places in Germany.
Great videos Andrew, I live in the UK and now I really want to visit Germany! Good luck with your next move to pastures new.
People like you are always welcome in our homeland! Good luck for your next habit! Greetings from Cologne!
Thank you for your impressions and your thoughts on this, which you have shared. Stay healthy and make sure that people find each other and respect each other. See you in Germany 👍!
Oh I see you've visited Walhalla? Beautiful and very special place. Take care of yourself and have a safe journey to Oregon!
Thanks for your honest farewell to Germany.
Omg, this is a so touching and meaningful video. Thank you for your story with Germany, would like to be there one day
Awesome and inspiring video dude. Amazing story and message!
Greets from Munich :)
Hello Andrew - the catacombs beneath the castle and through the forest hill must be a secret passage that was used in old times. They used it to escape from the castle or enter it without being seen or caught by enemies during war times - the entrance normally was hidden, too! Best regards Tanja
I'm really sad that you have to leave Germany after only one and a half years (if I remember right your initial plan was to be here for 3 years) but at the same time, I'm thankful that you both were with us and that you shared your experience.
Me too Lothar. Hope to be back someday.
@@filmsmith That will be fine and be aware that you and your wife are always welcome. Have a good time back in the staates and I wish you both all the best.
Andrew, keep making Videos! Love your style and the message they carry.
Would have love to meet you in person some time here in Germany. So sad you had to leave.
Thanks for letting us see our home in a new perspective, with many more details and not take everything for granted.
Take care and all the best to you and your family
Thank you for the kind words Sebastian. Maybe I'll be back someday and we could get a beer :)
Thank you for loving my country the way that I do. Your videos are inspirational and you are one to follow. Thank you for enriching us. God bless you on your journey and hopefully see you again
How sad. Today I found your channel and it is your good bye. What ever the reason is, that you are leaving, there is always a chance of coming home to germany. I loved your video a lot.
Thank you so much for the feedback. Glad you liked the video so much. It was from the heart. Take care, hope to hear from you in the future.
Thank you very much for leaving a good impression of Germany. People like you are always awaited with a warm welcome.
Gave me goosebumps! Safe travels!
The Holes were made for putting snow in it in wintertime. At summer you can enjoy real good ice cold Bavarian beer in Summer!
What a beautiful piece of art to say thank you...we should thank YOU to remind US of what nice places we have in our little country and to be grateful for that...
