I'm Scottish and spent three years in Germany when I was young (two years in Munich and an year in Nuremberg). It's an astoundingly beautiful country with amazing history (including the Hasbergs and Prussia etc) I still hold Germany close to my heart I had a great time with great people.
For me it's exactly the other way round. I'm German and I went on holiday with my then partner on motorbikes to Scotland three times. I discovered my love for the Highlands in the Highlander films. and ever since I was there I have had Scotland in my heart. My Heart’s in the Highlands My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North, The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth ; Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands for ever I love. Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow, Farewell to the straths and green vallies below; Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods, Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods. My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here, My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer; Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe, My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go. Robert Burns
I met a lot of scots during the EM in germany. And although they werew all football fans I made so many fun memories! I've been to scotland a few times and honestly I've never met such welcoming people before
I'm a Brit and I lived in Germany for 3 years. I also spent time managing a team in Frankfurt so lots of trips there from London. Its an amazing place, very under-rated. Also, one of the things he doesn't mention are the people. I found them to be charming, funny and very welcoming contrary to the usual stereotype put forward. I'd recommend a visit there to anybody doing a trip to Europe.
I'm from England and I've lived in Germany for 5 years now. I haven't even scratched the surface of the places I want to visit here. Amazing , beautiful country...........even if it's taking me forever to get to grips with the language :)
I am American and came for a trip to Germany in 1984 and loved it so much that I stayed and have only been back in America twice to visit family in Hawaii. After all these years I still do not miss America.
I'm from the UK love my country, but for pure stunning places to see are mainland Europe. Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and so much more Europe is stunning guys. Happy new year guys , hope you get to visit Europe soon ❤
If you're interested in watching more of my homelamd I highly recommend the videos of Meet the Germans Road Trip Parts 1-4 by Rachel. She did a very good job in presenting the 4parts of Germany talking about people, culture, environment, histoy and much more. Happy new year to you from Germany!🎆
Rachel Stewart is ONE presenter of the DW broadcasting channel. DW stands for Deutsche Welle (German Wave). Don't confuse it with NDW, Neue Deutsche Welle, which was a German music era in the '80th where for instance 'Nena - 99 red balloons' is from.
After the war my dad was stationed in the black Forrest .He went back with my mom in the 90s and still knew his way around, and was speaking fluent German , something my mom didn’t know he could do.
Living in the UK, it is relatively easy to visit all these wonderful places he filmed - mountains, lakes, cities, small villages. It really is as beautiful as the video shows. I have had the privilege of visiting, Germany, Austria and Switzerland many times. I hope you get to see it all soon!
Watching people reacting to Germany makes me appreciate it even more to live here ☺️🫶🏻 We live only one hour away from Cochem and the area is really beautiful ❤ I can't think of not having those old architecture (castles, old houses, cathedrals,...) around 👍🏻 In movies the "Germans" are always shouting, the "normal Germans" are not speaking like this 😂 But I had a hard time learning it when I moved from Belgium (frenchspeaking part) to Germany in 2008 🙈
Hello both of you. First of all, I wish you a happy new year 2025. With over 25,000 castles and palaces, Germany has more than McDonald's restaurants in the USA. And what has inspired you so much here is only a small part of what Germany still has to offer. If you are interested in seeing more of Germany, then I can only recommend the video by Dr. Ludwig “This is Germany”, which will also absolutely inspire you. Greetings from Germany
What I can recommend as a reaction is the video of the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. It is in the Guinness Book of Records and has the largest and longest miniature railroad in the world. But it doesn't just show that, it shows other amazing constructions from all over the world, all in miniature and all moving. But discover it for yourself. Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg.
Great reaction video. I’m from the UK and have been lucky enough to visit an area of the Rhine close to Koblenz, Hamburg and only a few weeks ago the Christmas market in Frankfurt. Now I have to plan so many more trips.
Thank you for this great reaction. I currently live just 20 minutes away from Neuschwanstein Castle and I just noticed how used I became to living in this area. Watching you admiring the places shown in the video made me thankful again for living in such a beautiful region, so close to one of the world`s most famous attractions and right next to the beautiful alpes. Germany as a whole is a beautiful country and I`m proud and happy to see people from around the world getting excited over it :)
Schöne Bilder und sehr sympathisch kommentiert. Ich bin in Süddeutschland geboren und lebe dort. Die meisten der Orte im Video sind mir wohl bekannt und habe ich besucht. Über die Zeit wird es zur Gewohnheit. Erst durch die Reaktion von anderen lernt man diese wünderschönen Orte wieder zu schätzen. Aber uns geht es genau wie euch wenn wir solche Bilder von anderen fernen Ländern sehen. Als ich im Westen der USA war konnte ich es auch nicht fassen wie schön und einzigartig es dort ist. In Europa gibt es noch viele andere Länder mit herausragender Schönheit. Norwegen, Schweden, Schweiz, Österreich, Italien und viele mehr. Danke für das Video
In everyday life, people often fail to recognize the beauty and history of this wonderful country. Thank you for reminding me. I often fail to recognize how lucky I was to have been born and raised here! Thank you and Happy New Year, best wishes from Munich
I went to Berchtesgaden last year for the first time and it really is as magical as it looks. The water in the lakes & streams is so clear and the air is the same. Definitely one of the best places I’ve been.
I studied German [I'm Irish] and spent a year in Passau on my year abroad. It's a beautiful little place and reminds me a little of my own home village. It's well worth a day trip if you're ever over there. I visited Rothenburg while I was there [also gorgeous] and Nürnberg at Christmas for the market and yes, I got some Nürnberger Lebkuchen !! I've also been to Berlin and had a fantastic time, such an incredible city. As to the German language sounding harsh, the narrator unfortunately mangled the pronunciation a bit, but it's not as harsh as it seems if you pronounce it a certain way ...
Hey Mike n Jess, I am the same as pdevs1966. I live in Scotland and we have beautiful scenery and castles as you know but Germany, the Black Forrest Region and is absolutely stunning, we also did the tour round the lake bordering Switzerland Denmark Italy etc. It took my breath away.
Living in the Uk but have been lucky enough to have visited all these places over the last 30 years. The most perfect place, in my opinion, to be based (and I will be heading there in a couple of months time) is Lindau on the shores of the Bodensee (Lake Constance). From the balcony of my hotel room, I can see 4 different countries - not only Germany, but Austria (10 minutes on the train), Switzerland (20 minutes on the train) and Liechtenstein (35 minutes on the train). Added to that, Muenchen (Munich) and Zurich are only a 2 hour train ride away and I can be in Innsbruck in 3 hours! The food is to die for and the beer is even better (one year, I was in Lindau for 19 days and sample beers from 21 different breweries - all local).
Greetings from Radolfzell (Lake Constance), lived in Überlingen, Unteruhldingen near Meersburg, Konstanz and now here. Can't live anywhere else, have tried.
You have to see more of Germany, because that what you see in this video is only very very very small part of Germany. I live near Marburg in Hessen. It is an University town with and old castle and many Fachwerkhaus. It is beautiful
Hi Peeps, I spent 8 years living in northern Germany while in the RAF such a beautiful country two of my children were born there our favourite trips were to Munich, Austria and Switzerland we miss the scenery so much even living in Canada is not the same x
I'm from England but I was actually born in Germany because my dad was stationed over there in the 60's he was in the army. Also my sister lives in Hamburg she moved there when she was 19 and is now 67 obviously I have visited her many times over the years. The lake is beautiful there is boat trips up and down it during the summer and in the winter when it's frozen over people go ice-skating on it
Nuremberg was a high-tech city in the Middle Ages. When the robber baron Götz von Berlichingen had his hand cut off by a cannonball, he went to Nuremberg where he was given a movable prosthesis in which the fingers could be moved and locked and unlocked using springs. This technology has been perfected to today's level using microtechnology. This cost him a small fortune at the time. However, he could use it to lift a beer mug and open a window. This prosthesis can still be seen in the museum today.
A tip: the Eagle's Nest is closed during the late autumn and winter, so you'll need to go to Germany twice! Once in late Nov - Dec for the Christmas markets (and enjoy the snowy landscapes!) then again during the late Spring - Summer - early Autumn for the sunshine and trails and Eagle's Nest. There are heaps of tourist Straße / Strasse (roads) to do. I've just done the Alpenstraße from Berchtesgaden to Lake Constance in November, then the Black Forest include a number of Christmas markets (include Colmar in France), Ravennaschlucht / Ravenna Gorge, Baden-baden, and Ulm back to Munich. Oh and doing a road trip in an electric car is perfect in Western Europe as there's chargers everywhere (including at accommodation). Also check out the Romantic Road, Schwarzwaldhochstraße or Black Forest High Road, and many others!
Guys, I very much enjoyed that you enjoyed those impressions of my country. You really have to come over some day, but you need to have an itenerary beforehand 'cause otherwise you will definitely be lost in time if that makes any sense. For a plethora of further impressions of Germany, you might also like to watch the video “This is Germany”. Oh, and that "language thing" really is largely due to those WWII movies... I'm confident that you'll be positively surprised. BTW, I'm always greatly enjoying your reactions. Have a marvelous new year -- and very best wishes from Germany
We lived in Germany for 8 years whilst I served in the British Army. Part of my job was to help organised Ex Snow Queen. I spent most of the winter down in Bavaria. Summer is beautiful as is winter.
Never having stood in snow is like never having swum in the sea. You should definitely change that. Standing in snowfall for the first time is magical!!❄❄
Our beautiful Germany has everything. Nice old towns, mountains, hills, forest, fields, coast... Did you watch "this is germany"? That´s a great video!
yes, they are beautiful - but not only.... with open eyes you will find massive beautiful spots all over Europe. The landscape of Skagen in Denmark, Copenhagen, as well as Madeira, Algarve, Lisbon, Porto, or Ireland (landscapes of Connemara, Donegal) Wales, Scotland, Southbrittain or Lake District, as well as Dolomites in Italy, the beautiful Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, Umbria, Toscana..., as well as Brittany, St MIchel, the Castles of France..., or the mountains and mediterrain spirit of Corse (what a lovely island!) So - use your time to visit and experience Europe. Also the East with Prague, Budapest mostly underrated... i cannot stop... it needs years to visit them all and you will not be able to pack them into 2 or 3 weeks. Back to Germany: welldone pictures, top saturated, top angles, (for the use of drones often you need permisson) but wheather isn't sunny every day. As a photographer you must be patient to the less but special days of a year to get a row of perfect pictures like this. 14 days in Bavaria can be beautiful but also rainy. Not only Ireland is that wonderful green without any rainy days...
@berndmaier5491 Depends what you like. It's really in the eye of the beholder and I'm not overly keen on desolate expanses like Skagen or the sheer bleakness of the Scottish moors. I grew up in places like this so it doesn't really do much for me)
I agree with you them countries are very nice and clean scenic mountainous but their is many other countries in Europe like France is the most visited country in Europe, Lisbon is the 2nd oldest city in Europe Portugal is very nice too.UK Scotland is lovely when you do know where all the nice places are, England is absolutely saturated in scenery very old preserved buildings castles cathedrals Abbey's medieval town's Hebden Bridge west Yorkshire voted best & the quirkiest town in Europe for the last few years, not far from there Pateley Bridge has the world's oldest sweet shop, Wales is the same as England too. At the end of the day it's your own view's & what you think
@@sandersson2813 Yes I know it is but I don't think that Mike & Jess when they are looking at something on Germany & I was making a reply to somebody else's opinion on some other European countries I was just talking about Europe because I don't think they will be making travels to other parts of the world 🌎 for some time by sound of it if they have family.I hope they do get over the pond sometime in the future.
Hi folks love your video's and your laughter is infectious 😂 Visited most all the places mentioned, ended up moving there with my family 8 years ago! Never looked back and have only scratched the surface, such lovely people. Moved from Yorkshire now live in the Green heart of germany Thüringen wald "The Thuringen forest". If your intrested in history, Geography now- Germany is excellent?
As a close neighbour to the west (Nordrhein Westfalen) of the country I have to say Germany is truly one of the most beautiful and diverse countries, only second to France and Italy perhaps and the most friendly, pleasant and decent people you'll ever meet anywhere. Not sucking up to our neighbours, just my honest opinion. Mind you they are a strange bunch.
The house shown is not the Eagles Nest, but the Kehlsteinhaus, it was the guest house of the complex. Almost everything of the Eagles Nest has been destroyed, bombed and blown up, only a few remains of the walls still exist. The view from the restaurant is breathtaking.
No, Kehlsteinhaus is the eagle's nest. His home Berghof, further down on the mountain where you take the bus up to eagles nest, was bombed along with many other buildings.
@fikonfraktare Other names for the Kehlsteinhaus, which is also said to have been called Teehaus (2nd Teehaus), D-Haus (Diplomatenhaus) or T-Haus (Haus T) during the Nazi era, are no longer clearly documented. The French ambassador André François-Poncet, who visited Hitler in the Eagle's Nest on October 18, 1938, first referred to the place as the Eagle's Nest (French: Nid d'Aigle). Poncet was the only foreign visitor of note that Hitler received in the Kehlsteinhaus.[4] The English equivalent, Eagle's Nest, became the standing term for this house throughout the English-speaking world after the end of the war at the latest and has also found its way into other languages. In German, however, Adlerhorst refers to the Führer's headquarters at Adlerhorst in Hesse.
@@fikonfraktare im englischen meist ja, fälschlicherweise, in deutsch ist es das Kehlsteinhaus, wie seit Erbauung. Der Rest der Anlage sind nur ein paar Ruinen.
For many Americans, “Bavaria” is the epitome of Germany - the stereotypical idea when it comes to folklore, food, traditional clothing and much more! If you are more interested in Germany, then I recommend the miniseries “Meet the Germans Road Trip Part 1-4”! In each of these four episodes, the different regions of Germany, their peculiarities and diversity are presented (landscapes, regional cuisine, dialects, traditions, folk festivals, etc.) - have fun! Part 1: Northern Germany th-cam.com/video/K-AbtBU3WzE/w-d-xo.html Part 2: Southern Germany th-cam.com/video/Td8yxkH5XzE/w-d-xo.html Part 3: Eastern Germany th-cam.com/video/jZtJdtXnOf4/w-d-xo.html Part 4: Western Germany th-cam.com/video/zJBf9cTa_eI/w-d-xo.html On the "Zugspitze" the weather can change quickly and if you are unlucky you will only see a wall of fog instead of a beautiful view! "Königssee" means "King's Lake"! The "Königssee" is also known for its “echo wall”! During a boat trip, the echo is demonstrated to the passengers with trumpets! The Lübeck "Holstentor" (“Holsten Gate”) was depicted on the earlier 50 DM (Deutsche Mark) banknote, as a symbol of German civic pride! The "Obere Mittelrheintal"/"Upper Middle Rhine Valley" (UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 27, 2002) has over 60 castles, fortresses and palaces (many of them in ruins) over a length of 67 kilometers (≈ 41.6 miles) - that doesn't sound like much, but it is the highest density of these buildings in the world per kilometer! Hamburg's "Speicherstadt" ("Warehouse city") is the world's largest warehouse complex and home of "Miniatur Wunderland" ("Miniature Wonderland"), the largest model railway in the world - and they're still building!!! th-cam.com/video/yi6co_r1PfU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/WYycikG0CJI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/CqT0u6QDJtg/w-d-xo.html In Germany there are two cities called “Frankfurt”, which means something like: The ford over which the Franks came/the ford of the Franks! 1. “Frankfurt am Main” (Frankfurt on the river Main in the federal state of "Hessen") - when people talk about "Frankfurt" in general, THIS is what they mean! 2. “Frankfurt an der Oder” (Frankfurt on the river Oder in the federal state of "Brandenburg", on the border with Poland)! "Frankfurt am Main" has the nickname "Mainhattan" (a play on words from the river "Main" and "Manhattan"/Wall Street) as an allusion to its importance as a financial center! Another special feature of "Frankfurt am Main" is that 13 of Germany's 14 "skyscrapers" ("Wolkenkratzer"/"Cloudsscratches" in German) are there, in addition, the "Frankfurt am Main" airport is the largest passenger and cargo airport in Germany! "Neuschwanstein" ("New swan stone") by Ludwig II, King of Bavaria (also called the Fairy Tale King), is a romanticized ideal of a medieval knight's castle - it inspired Walt Disney to create his Cinderella Castle. Construction of Neuschwanstein began in 1869, but was never completed! Today it is one of Germany's biggest tourist attractions! There are some videos that talk about how the German language is supposed to be harsh and aggressive - also some in which people make fun of the German language - here's an opposite example: th-cam.com/video/dHeOooHTwcY/w-d-xo.html
Visited the Hohenzollern Castle, went to the xmas event in 2022. was mind blowing. and i have been to quite a few residences and castles in Germany. i still have many to go. i can speak the language so travelling is much easier.
Hey, move your bottom part and visit the US national parks enjoying the nature. They are amazing! Then head to Europe and enjoy great food, culture and architecture 😊
As others have said his German needs some work, but an amazing video showcasing some of the best things to see in Germany. Every time he said the River Elbe, a little bit of me died inside, which does make me wonder if he's actually been to some of these places or just got video footage. As you said I wish he could have spent just a little longer on some of the places, but pretty good as an introduction. I'm fairly new to your channel and even though I've watched a number of videos don't know that much about you guys, but the vast majority of people in the US have done German ancestry and I'm wondering if you guys have (you'd probably have mentioned it if you had, but I thought worth asking, although maybe you do without even realising it a few generations back). Anyway, amazing reaction, keep up the good work, and Happy New Year!!! May 2025 be a great one!!!
@grahamtravers4522 In fairness many are not that easy to get right, but I always think, not just in this case but all videos of this type where the video is about names of locations they don't spend an our just searching on TH-cam how to pronounce the names, even googling to find out the difficult ones would be a start. The voice used is not AI, but I wonder if most TH-camrs now lean on AI to tell them how to pronounce words and AI isn't always correct in what it returns and you have to check it, which makes using it for this a little pointless in some circumstances.
take yourself 2 week, fly to germany and rent a caravan or car and do a roadtrip. if you find a nice place stay a day longer. recommended time April- June or August - Spetember
As an American who’s been living in Germany for the last 35 years, I can definitely say he showed you a tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. There is so very much more here to see and experience. Just when I thought I’ve seen it all…….we visit another place and instantly mind gets blown. Seeing Germany in pics doesn’t come close to experiencing it live. If you come to visit bring a lot of time cuz you’re not gonna see much in two weeks. After living here so long I haven’t even seen half of it and we’re out all the time. German is not a harsch language at all but it is difficult to learn.
As a German, I have to correct. Most of the Grimm's fairy tales come from central and northern Hesse, many from the area around Marburg city. This is also a beautiful area and worth a video
Happy new year to you both. Another thing which definitly will blow your mind it´s Miniatur Wunderland. It is the worlds largest model railroad display. It is located in Hamburg and has amazing details. I would love to see you reacting to it. Greetings from Austria.
I´m german. I life near Stuttgart. And all I can say is, the pictures are true. I´ve been to every places shown here. And there a lot of many places who´s not shown here.
I’ve been to Munich and then Berlin and loved both but preferred Munich, I got on with everyone I met they’re good people. I’ll have to go back to Germany and investigate other areas soon.
I once remarked to a Bavarian friend that he had a very good sense of humour, unlike another guy in our group. "Yes, but he's from Prussia [Berlin] - they have no sense of humour."
@grahamtravers4522 I sat down next to a local in a pub in Munich who to this day I’ll swear blind was Franz Beckenbauer because he was the spitting image. We also got the train up to Andechs and sat next to a local couple and the more we drank the more German I remembered from my school days. 😅
Happy new year you loveable guys,one advantage we have is that we can fly from London to Berlin in 1h 50m and 8 other european cities within 2 hours,please visit this year if you can.
So folks - what's keeping you in your seats? Pack your bags as quickly as possible and head off to Germany. Take a tour of the sights you've just seen, sample our excellent food...! Come on come on - 25,000 castles, fortresses and palaces are waiting for you, as well as over 3,600 different types of bread and sausages of all kinds - beer until you drop and lots and lots of fun...! We're waiting for you and look forward to serving and entertaining you...!
You haven't seen snow? For some reason it made me emotional. When we were kids we used to take a handful of snow and go to a friend or class mate in front of you, grab their jacket and put that snow under the jacket @ the "lower neck". Icy cold water will run over the persons back. Everyone did that to each other and running away laughing🤣
The church at 10:06 is the „Frauenkirche“ („her lady‘s church“), which was totally turned into rubble in the air raid that burnt down the whole city. Only after the unification of Germany it was decided to rebuild it base on old pictures and plans. The few dark bricks visible in the facade are sthe few original parts that were reused…
ppl always ask me, why they never heard of german wine, cause we drink it all ourselves, we nearly dont export any, cause we dont want to share them. i would recommend a white rießling! or a bocksbeutel from frankonia. hard to get your hands on one of these outside germany
If you want to visit your brother, the first region has already been decided. Of course there are many other beautiful regions. the crucial thing is time. Most US citizens want to visit Europe in 10 days. So take your time and if you like it you'll come back anyway. Greetings from Nuremberg 🌍
You guys have to do Freddy mercurys last song these are the days of our life I know you are huge fans and do living thing from Elo at the same concert as telephone line your a great couple greetings from England and happy new year to you
@@martinloss4171 As I Brit, I have had my English grammar corrected by a German. Of course, we suffer from the disadvantage of never actually being taught English grammar in school.
Happy New Year to you and yours ...Mike you should visit New Hampshire's Mount Washington it's a beautiful place within driving range...we went in September and there was 8 inches of snow at the top which closed the road you can drive up the mountain but it was awesome anyway....love you reactions especially the comedy ones because Jess's laugh is so contagious it brightens my day....Karl from eastern Canada🎆🎆🎆👍👍👍
Just as additional information. Schloss Hohenzollern is still inhabited by the grandson of the last german emperor. Him and his wife give tours through through the castle.
yes please visit our country, and maybe do a Vlog :) it would be awesome! If you need help let me know, I live around Munich area and could show you some places here!
Thanks a lot, Germany-Visitors for your Likes about my country. ❤ America and Great Britain have amazing and beautiful places and landscapes, towns, too..💕 Sure other countries, too. 😉
I've been to all this places! And it's a great list ... but: in my opinion there are some even more stunning places in Germany not shown in his video! So pack your suitcases and come over to Germany ... soon! :)
Funny, subbed to your channel a long time ago when you started reacting to Angelina Jordan, and now you came virtually visiting my place (I'm Bavarian), glad you liked it, would be fun to meet you when you come visiting, I'd definitely take a day or two to show you around. I'm living close to the alpes Zugspitze / Schloss Neuschwanstein, but I could catch you in Munich, which is my place of birth, which has a lot to offer, from there most of the destinations in the south of Germany shown in the video are within reach by car in not more than a couple of hours to the max (Rothenburg, Black Forest, many lakes...), just let me know when you're coming... Could also give you a tour in my permaculture garden in the Allgäu region... Happy new year to you, peace and love from Bavaria! Btw., please react to RAYE covering Ella Fitzgerald "Cry Me A River" at the Kennedy Center Honors 2024, released shortly before Christmas. Cheers!
I spent 5 years in the British forces in Germany. A 3 year then a 2 year tour of duty. I met my wife whilst serving there. She was English, daughter of a British soldier. My wife's step mother was German, so we had many great holidays visiting the German side of the family. Bavaria in the south is such a beautiful place to visit and very traditional German. Lots of beautiful scenery and castles and the like. Sadly like all countries it does have it's less enjoyable places. But sadly that's the world today.
When I was at school I used to spend my 6 week holidays in Masson in Germany on the military base where my Brother in law was stationed and I absolutely loved it. Harry from the UK. ❤❤❤❤
He makes great videos, with great picks and beautiful footage, but pronunciation and spelling are not his forte, so don't use him as a guide for that. 😅
yup! I don't understand why travellers on TH-cam don't make an effort to say the place-names properly - especially when they know that thousands of people will be watching and listening! Sometimes it makes me cringe.
Definitely. Pronunciation you can sort of understand if you’re not a native speaker in that country, but there’s no excuse for the spelling. I mean, just copy it from somewhere 😂
@@ianb8656 well I don't speak fluent German, but when I visited Austria for a few days I learned how to pronounce the place-names and some basic phrases. It really isn't that difficult for English speakers. Glückliches neues Jahr!
@@soozb15 Ahhhh, perhaps you need to keep to your own standards rather than expect them of other people and criticise them when they don't do it your way.
I'm Scottish and spent three years in Germany when I was young (two years in Munich and an year in Nuremberg). It's an astoundingly beautiful country with amazing history (including the Hasbergs and Prussia etc) I still hold Germany close to my heart I had a great time with great people.
For me it's exactly the other way round. I'm German and I went on holiday with my then partner on motorbikes to Scotland three times. I discovered my love for the Highlands in the Highlander films. and ever since I was there I have had Scotland in my heart.
My Heart’s in the Highlands
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.
Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,
The birth-place of Valour, the country of Worth ;
Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,
The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.
Farewell to the mountains, high-cover'd with snow,
Farewell to the straths and green vallies below;
Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,
Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods.
My heart's in the Highlands, my heart is not here,
My heart's in the Highlands, a-chasing the deer;
Chasing the wild-deer, and following the roe,
My heart's in the Highlands, wherever I go.

Now, isn't that a most beautiful exchange between the two of you...!
I met a lot of scots during the EM in germany. And although they werew all football fans I made so many fun memories! I've been to scotland a few times and honestly I've never met such welcoming people before
Scots are always welcome in Germany Deutschland 🇩🇪 😊
We should do an official announcement Scotland and Germany gonna be close Partners in the Future!!!
I'm a Brit and I lived in Germany for 3 years. I also spent time managing a team in Frankfurt so lots of trips there from London. Its an amazing place, very under-rated. Also, one of the things he doesn't mention are the people. I found them to be charming, funny and very welcoming contrary to the usual stereotype put forward. I'd recommend a visit there to anybody doing a trip to Europe.
I'm from England and I've lived in Germany for 5 years now. I haven't even scratched the surface of the places I want to visit here. Amazing , beautiful country...........even if it's taking me forever to get to grips with the language :)
I am American and came for a trip to Germany in 1984 and loved it so much that I stayed and have only been back in America twice to visit family in Hawaii. After all these years I still do not miss America.
I'm from the UK love my country, but for pure stunning places to see are mainland Europe. Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and so much more Europe is stunning guys. Happy new year guys , hope you get to visit Europe soon ❤
Beautiful country great people love Berlin
Peace and love from England ❤
If you're interested in watching more of my homelamd I highly recommend the videos of Meet the Germans Road Trip Parts 1-4 by Rachel. She did a very good job in presenting the 4parts of Germany talking about people, culture, environment, histoy and much more. Happy new year to you from Germany!🎆
Rachel Stewart is ONE presenter of the DW broadcasting channel. DW stands for Deutsche Welle (German Wave). Don't confuse it with NDW, Neue Deutsche Welle, which was a German music era in the '80th where for instance 'Nena - 99 red balloons' is from.
I was just going to recommend that series on DW. It gives a lot more depth and background to what you just watched.
After the war my dad was stationed in the black Forrest .He went back with my mom in the 90s and still knew his way around, and was speaking fluent German , something my mom didn’t know he could do.
Living in the UK, it is relatively easy to visit all these wonderful places he filmed - mountains, lakes, cities, small villages. It really is as beautiful as the video shows. I have had the privilege of visiting, Germany, Austria and Switzerland many times. I hope you get to see it all soon!
Watching people reacting to Germany makes me appreciate it even more to live here ☺️🫶🏻
We live only one hour away from Cochem and the area is really beautiful ❤
I can't think of not having those old architecture (castles, old houses, cathedrals,...) around 👍🏻
In movies the "Germans" are always shouting, the "normal Germans" are not speaking like this 😂
But I had a hard time learning it when I moved from Belgium (frenchspeaking part) to Germany in 2008 🙈
Happy new year to you both
Same to you friend!
thats why we love our country so much... thanks for the video and your nice reaction.
Hello both of you. First of all, I wish you a happy new year 2025.
With over 25,000 castles and palaces, Germany has more than McDonald's restaurants in the USA. And what has inspired you so much here is only a small part of what Germany still has to offer. If you are interested in seeing more of Germany, then I can only recommend the video by Dr. Ludwig “This is Germany”, which will also absolutely inspire you. Greetings from Germany
Second the recommendation. But don't forget to put on the subtitles when you watch it!
Yes, excellent recommendation -- as well as the advice by @sweety1746
... and the Originalmusic!
What I can recommend as a reaction is the video of the Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg. It is in the Guinness Book of Records and has the largest and longest miniature railroad in the world. But it doesn't just show that, it shows other amazing constructions from all over the world, all in miniature and all moving. But discover it for yourself.
Miniatur Wunderland Hamburg.
I like how many of the amazing camera shots were done at sunrise/sunset to capture that glow you just cannot get midday.
Great reaction video. I’m from the UK and have been lucky enough to visit an area of the Rhine close to Koblenz, Hamburg and only a few weeks ago the Christmas market in Frankfurt. Now I have to plan so many more trips.
Thank you for this great reaction.
I currently live just 20 minutes away from Neuschwanstein Castle and I just noticed how used I became to living in this area. Watching you admiring the places shown in the video made me thankful again for living in such a beautiful region, so close to one of the world`s most famous attractions and right next to the beautiful alpes.
Germany as a whole is a beautiful country and I`m proud and happy to see people from around the world getting excited over it :)
Schöne Bilder und sehr sympathisch kommentiert. Ich bin in Süddeutschland geboren und lebe dort. Die meisten der Orte im Video sind mir wohl bekannt und habe ich besucht. Über die Zeit wird es zur Gewohnheit. Erst durch die Reaktion von anderen lernt man diese wünderschönen Orte wieder zu schätzen.
Aber uns geht es genau wie euch wenn wir solche Bilder von anderen fernen Ländern sehen.
Als ich im Westen der USA war konnte ich es auch nicht fassen wie schön und einzigartig es dort ist.
In Europa gibt es noch viele andere Länder mit herausragender Schönheit. Norwegen, Schweden, Schweiz, Österreich, Italien und viele mehr. Danke für das Video
I have been to many of these places in Germany...... you guys simply MUST go as it is a real treat and you will enjoy it completely..
In everyday life, people often fail to recognize the beauty and history of this wonderful country. Thank you for reminding me. I often fail to recognize how lucky I was to have been born and raised here! Thank you and Happy New Year, best wishes from Munich
When I was in the army (British) we went down to Bavaria for two weeks every year. I’ve seen all those wonderful sights.
I went to Berchtesgaden last year for the first time and it really is as magical as it looks. The water in the lakes & streams is so clear and the air is the same. Definitely one of the best places I’ve been.
You guys deserve a corporate sponsorship to visit Europe! Great reaction as always. ❤
I had just the same idea when watching them viewing the video. 🙂
I studied German [I'm Irish] and spent a year in Passau on my year abroad. It's a beautiful little place and reminds me a little of my own home village. It's well worth a day trip if you're ever over there. I visited Rothenburg while I was there [also gorgeous] and Nürnberg at Christmas for the market and yes, I got some Nürnberger Lebkuchen !! I've also been to Berlin and had a fantastic time, such an incredible city. As to the German language sounding harsh, the narrator unfortunately mangled the pronunciation a bit, but it's not as harsh as it seems if you pronounce it a certain way ...
Went to Munich and couldn’t get over how clean the place is! Great city,and the beer was great, well worth a visit
And a 20-25 minute drive from Cochem is petrolhead nirvana……the Nürburgring 😍
Hey Mike n Jess, I am the same as pdevs1966. I live in Scotland and we have beautiful scenery and castles as you know but Germany, the Black Forrest Region and is absolutely stunning, we also did the tour round the lake bordering Switzerland Denmark Italy etc. It took my breath away.
Living in the Uk but have been lucky enough to have visited all these places over the last 30 years. The most perfect place, in my opinion, to be based (and I will be heading there in a couple of months time) is Lindau on the shores of the Bodensee (Lake Constance). From the balcony of my hotel room, I can see 4 different countries - not only Germany, but Austria (10 minutes on the train), Switzerland (20 minutes on the train) and Liechtenstein (35 minutes on the train). Added to that, Muenchen (Munich) and Zurich are only a 2 hour train ride away and I can be in Innsbruck in 3 hours! The food is to die for and the beer is even better (one year, I was in Lindau for 19 days and sample beers from 21 different breweries - all local).
Greetings from Radolfzell (Lake Constance), lived in Überlingen, Unteruhldingen near Meersburg, Konstanz and now here. Can't live anywhere else, have tried.
@@arnodobler1096 totally understand why ... visited the Lake multiple times this year alone ...
You have to see more of Germany, because that what you see in this video is only very very very small part of Germany.
I live near Marburg in Hessen. It is an University town with and old castle and many Fachwerkhaus.
It is beautiful
Hi Peeps, I spent 8 years living in northern Germany while in the RAF such a beautiful country two of my children were born there our favourite trips were to Munich, Austria and Switzerland we miss the scenery so much even living in Canada is not the same x
I'm from England but I was actually born in Germany because my dad was stationed over there in the 60's he was in the army. Also my sister lives in Hamburg she moved there when she was 19 and is now 67 obviously I have visited her many times over the years. The lake is beautiful there is boat trips up and down it during the summer and in the winter when it's frozen over people go ice-skating on it
Nuremberg was a high-tech city in the Middle Ages. When the robber baron Götz von Berlichingen had his hand cut off by a cannonball, he went to Nuremberg where he was given a movable prosthesis in which the fingers could be moved and locked and unlocked using springs. This technology has been perfected to today's level using microtechnology. This cost him a small fortune at the time. However, he could use it to lift a beer mug and open a window. This prosthesis can still be seen in the museum today.
A tip: the Eagle's Nest is closed during the late autumn and winter, so you'll need to go to Germany twice! Once in late Nov - Dec for the Christmas markets (and enjoy the snowy landscapes!) then again during the late Spring - Summer - early Autumn for the sunshine and trails and Eagle's Nest. There are heaps of tourist Straße / Strasse (roads) to do. I've just done the Alpenstraße from Berchtesgaden to Lake Constance in November, then the Black Forest include a number of Christmas markets (include Colmar in France), Ravennaschlucht / Ravenna Gorge, Baden-baden, and Ulm back to Munich. Oh and doing a road trip in an electric car is perfect in Western Europe as there's chargers everywhere (including at accommodation). Also check out the Romantic Road, Schwarzwaldhochstraße or Black Forest High Road, and many others!
Guys, I very much enjoyed that you enjoyed those impressions of my country. You really have to come over some day, but you need to have an itenerary beforehand 'cause otherwise you will definitely be lost in time if that makes any sense. For a plethora of further impressions of Germany, you might also like to watch the video “This is Germany”.
Oh, and that "language thing" really is largely due to those WWII movies... I'm confident that you'll be positively surprised.
BTW, I'm always greatly enjoying your reactions.
Have a marvelous new year -- and very best wishes from Germany
We lived in Germany for 8 years whilst I served in the British Army. Part of my job was to help organised Ex Snow Queen. I spent most of the winter down in Bavaria. Summer is beautiful as is winter.
Never having stood in snow is like never having swum in the sea. You should definitely change that. Standing in snowfall for the first time is magical!!❄❄
I lived in Wurzburg in Franconia which is norther Bavaria. A beautiful city, with baroque architecture. Worth a visit.
Happy New Year from Bonnie Scotland!
Thanks for your reaction..:-) Best wishes from Hamburg, Germany. Michael
The Islands of Sylt and Rügen are beautiful
Our beautiful Germany has everything. Nice old towns, mountains, hills, forest, fields, coast... Did you watch "this is germany"? That´s a great video!
Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Norway are the most beautiful countries in Europe in my opinion.
yes, they are beautiful - but not only.... with open eyes you will find massive beautiful spots all over Europe. The landscape of Skagen in Denmark, Copenhagen, as well as Madeira, Algarve, Lisbon, Porto, or Ireland (landscapes of Connemara, Donegal) Wales, Scotland, Southbrittain or Lake District, as well as Dolomites in Italy, the beautiful Amalfi Coast and Cinque Terre, Umbria, Toscana..., as well as Brittany, St MIchel, the Castles of France..., or the mountains and mediterrain spirit of Corse (what a lovely island!) So - use your time to visit and experience Europe. Also the East with Prague, Budapest mostly underrated... i cannot stop... it needs years to visit them all and you will not be able to pack them into 2 or 3 weeks.
Back to Germany: welldone pictures, top saturated, top angles, (for the use of drones often you need permisson) but wheather isn't sunny every day. As a photographer you must be patient to the less but special days of a year to get a row of perfect pictures like this. 14 days in Bavaria can be beautiful but also rainy. Not only Ireland is that wonderful green without any rainy days...
@berndmaier5491 Depends what you like. It's really in the eye of the beholder and I'm not overly keen on desolate expanses like Skagen or the sheer bleakness of the Scottish moors.
I grew up in places like this so it doesn't really do much for me)
I agree with you them countries are very nice and clean scenic mountainous but their is many other countries in Europe like France is the most visited country in Europe, Lisbon is the 2nd oldest city in Europe Portugal is very nice too.UK Scotland is lovely when you do know where all the nice places are, England is absolutely saturated in scenery very old preserved buildings castles cathedrals Abbey's medieval town's Hebden Bridge west Yorkshire voted best & the quirkiest town in Europe for the last few years, not far from there Pateley Bridge has the world's oldest sweet shop, Wales is the same as England too. At the end of the day it's your own view's & what you think
@davidbennett8598 France is the most visited country in the world actually.
@@sandersson2813 Yes I know it is but I don't think that Mike & Jess when they are looking at something on Germany & I was making a reply to somebody else's opinion on some other European countries I was just talking about Europe because I don't think they will be making travels to other parts of the world 🌎 for some time by sound of it if they have family.I hope they do get over the pond sometime in the future.
Hi folks love your video's and your laughter is infectious 😂
Visited most all the places mentioned, ended up moving there with my family 8 years ago! Never looked back and have only scratched the surface, such lovely people. Moved from Yorkshire now live in the Green heart of germany Thüringen wald "The Thuringen forest".
If your intrested in history, Geography now- Germany is excellent?
As a close neighbour to the west (Nordrhein Westfalen) of the country I have to say Germany is truly one of the most beautiful and diverse countries, only second to France and Italy perhaps and the most friendly, pleasant and decent people you'll ever meet anywhere.
Not sucking up to our neighbours, just my honest opinion. Mind you they are a strange bunch.
The house shown is not the Eagles Nest, but the Kehlsteinhaus, it was the guest house of the complex. Almost everything of the Eagles Nest has been destroyed, bombed and blown up, only a few remains of the walls still exist.
The view from the restaurant is breathtaking.
No, Kehlsteinhaus is the eagle's nest. His home Berghof, further down on the mountain where you take the bus up to eagles nest, was bombed along with many other buildings.
@fikonfraktare Other names for the Kehlsteinhaus, which is also said to have been called Teehaus (2nd Teehaus), D-Haus (Diplomatenhaus) or T-Haus (Haus T) during the Nazi era, are no longer clearly documented. The French ambassador André François-Poncet, who visited Hitler in the Eagle's Nest on October 18, 1938, first referred to the place as the Eagle's Nest (French: Nid d'Aigle). Poncet was the only foreign visitor of note that Hitler received in the Kehlsteinhaus.[4] The English equivalent, Eagle's Nest, became the standing term for this house throughout the English-speaking world after the end of the war at the latest and has also found its way into other languages. In German, however, Adlerhorst refers to the Führer's headquarters at Adlerhorst in Hesse.
@@arnodobler1096 So in short Kehlsteinhaus is what's commonly referred to, and know as, the eagle's nest.
@@fikonfraktare im englischen meist ja, fälschlicherweise, in deutsch ist es das Kehlsteinhaus, wie seit Erbauung. Der Rest der Anlage sind nur ein paar Ruinen.
Idstein and Wernigerode are beautiful towns to visit
Omg they showed Passau!! I been there when I went to Austria 🇦🇹 with my family. We’re from the uk and used fo go to Austria annually
For many Americans, “Bavaria” is the epitome of Germany - the stereotypical idea when it comes to folklore, food, traditional clothing and much more! If you are more interested in Germany, then I recommend the miniseries “Meet the Germans Road Trip Part 1-4”! In each of these four episodes, the different regions of Germany, their peculiarities and diversity are presented (landscapes, regional cuisine, dialects, traditions, folk festivals, etc.) - have fun!
Part 1: Northern Germany th-cam.com/video/K-AbtBU3WzE/w-d-xo.html
Part 2: Southern Germany th-cam.com/video/Td8yxkH5XzE/w-d-xo.html

On the "Zugspitze" the weather can change quickly and if you are unlucky you will only see a wall of fog instead of a beautiful view!
"Königssee" means "King's Lake"! The "Königssee" is also known for its “echo wall”! During a boat trip, the echo is demonstrated to the passengers with trumpets!
The Lübeck "Holstentor" (“Holsten Gate”) was depicted on the earlier 50 DM (Deutsche Mark) banknote, as a symbol of German civic pride!
The "Obere Mittelrheintal"/"Upper Middle Rhine Valley" (UNESCO World Heritage Site since June 27, 2002) has over 60 castles, fortresses and palaces (many of them in ruins) over a length of 67 kilometers (≈ 41.6 miles) - that doesn't sound like much, but it is the highest density of these buildings in the world per kilometer!
Hamburg's "Speicherstadt" ("Warehouse city") is the world's largest warehouse complex and home of "Miniatur Wunderland" ("Miniature Wonderland"), the largest model railway in the world - and they're still building!!!

In Germany there are two cities called “Frankfurt”, which means something like: The ford over which the Franks came/the ford of the Franks!
1. “Frankfurt am Main” (Frankfurt on the river Main in the federal state of "Hessen") - when people talk about "Frankfurt" in general, THIS is what they mean!
2. “Frankfurt an der Oder” (Frankfurt on the river Oder in the federal state of "Brandenburg", on the border with Poland)!
"Frankfurt am Main" has the nickname "Mainhattan" (a play on words from the river "Main" and "Manhattan"/Wall Street) as an allusion to its importance as a financial center! Another special feature of "Frankfurt am Main" is that 13 of Germany's 14 "skyscrapers" ("Wolkenkratzer"/"Cloudsscratches" in German) are there, in addition, the "Frankfurt am Main" airport is the largest passenger and cargo airport in Germany!
"Neuschwanstein" ("New swan stone") by Ludwig II, King of Bavaria (also called the Fairy Tale King), is a romanticized ideal of a medieval knight's castle - it inspired Walt Disney to create his Cinderella Castle. Construction of Neuschwanstein began in 1869, but was never completed! Today it is one of Germany's biggest tourist attractions!
There are some videos that talk about how the German language is supposed to be harsh and aggressive - also some in which people make fun of the German language - here's an opposite example:

@@tinino8947 Wow, thank you very much! 😀😄
This Cable car on Zugspitze was actually in the Movie :) Kingsman - Golden Zircle
Visited the Hohenzollern Castle, went to the xmas event in 2022. was mind blowing. and i have been to quite a few residences and castles in Germany. i still have many to go. i can speak the language so travelling is much easier.
Hey, move your bottom part and visit the US national parks enjoying the nature. They are amazing! Then head to Europe and enjoy great food, culture and architecture 😊
We would love for you guys to come to Europe and make some vlogs.. Happy New Year you 2
As others have said his German needs some work, but an amazing video showcasing some of the best things to see in Germany. Every time he said the River Elbe, a little bit of me died inside, which does make me wonder if he's actually been to some of these places or just got video footage. As you said I wish he could have spent just a little longer on some of the places, but pretty good as an introduction.
I'm fairly new to your channel and even though I've watched a number of videos don't know that much about you guys, but the vast majority of people in the US have done German ancestry and I'm wondering if you guys have (you'd probably have mentioned it if you had, but I thought worth asking, although maybe you do without even realising it a few generations back).
Anyway, amazing reaction, keep up the good work, and Happy New Year!!! May 2025 be a great one!!!
Yes. Perhaps not AI, but I thought his pronunciation of many place names was suspect.
@grahamtravers4522 In fairness many are not that easy to get right, but I always think, not just in this case but all videos of this type where the video is about names of locations they don't spend an our just searching on TH-cam how to pronounce the names, even googling to find out the difficult ones would be a start. The voice used is not AI, but I wonder if most TH-camrs now lean on AI to tell them how to pronounce words and AI isn't always correct in what it returns and you have to check it, which makes using it for this a little pointless in some circumstances.
take yourself 2 week, fly to germany and rent a caravan or car and do a roadtrip. if you find a nice place stay a day longer. recommended time April- June or August - Spetember
As an American who’s been living in Germany for the last 35 years, I can definitely say he showed you a tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg. There is so very much more here to see and experience. Just when I thought I’ve seen it all…….we visit another place and instantly mind gets blown. Seeing Germany in pics doesn’t come close to experiencing it live. If you come to visit bring a lot of time cuz you’re not gonna see much in two weeks. After living here so long I haven’t even seen half of it and we’re out all the time.
German is not a harsch language at all but it is difficult to learn.
The Berlin wall was a tragedy. Families were cut in half and after a few years, travel out or into the east was forbidden.
As a German, I have to correct. Most of the Grimm's fairy tales come from central and northern Hesse, many from the area around Marburg city. This is also a beautiful area and worth a video
Happy new year to you both. Another thing which definitly will blow your mind it´s Miniatur Wunderland. It is the worlds largest model railroad display. It is located in Hamburg and has amazing details. I would love to see you reacting to it. Greetings from Austria.
Wishing you two and your family a Happy New Year! from Stuttgart in Southwest Germany near the Black Forest 👋
Pronunciation leaves a lot to be desired. It's not the Radenburg Gate in Berlin but the Brandenburg Gate. Beautiful country from top to bottom.
His worst pronunciation is the word "world"
Yes, it is the same in all his video commentaries; I think he may have a speech issue generally but his video photography is outstanding.
I´m german. I life near Stuttgart. And all I can say is, the pictures are true. I´ve been to every places shown here. And there a lot of many places who´s not shown here.
I’ve been to Munich and then Berlin and loved both but preferred Munich, I got on with everyone I met they’re good people. I’ll have to go back to Germany and investigate other areas soon.
I once remarked to a Bavarian friend that he had a very good sense of humour, unlike another guy in our group. "Yes, but he's from Prussia [Berlin] - they have no sense of humour."
@grahamtravers4522 I sat down next to a local in a pub in Munich who to this day I’ll swear blind was Franz Beckenbauer because he was the spitting image. We also got the train up to Andechs and sat next to a local couple and the more we drank the more German I remembered from my school days. 😅
Happy new year you loveable guys,one advantage we have is that we can fly from London to Berlin in 1h 50m and 8 other european cities within 2 hours,please visit this year if you can.
So folks - what's keeping you in your seats? Pack your bags as quickly as possible and head off to Germany. Take a tour of the sights you've just seen, sample our excellent food...!
Come on come on - 25,000 castles, fortresses and palaces are waiting for you, as well as over 3,600 different types of bread and sausages of all kinds - beer until you drop and lots and lots of fun...! We're waiting for you and look forward to serving and entertaining you...!
Possibly the thought of contributing unnecessarily to global warming ...
You haven't seen snow? For some reason it made me emotional. When we were kids we used to take a handful of snow and go to a friend or class mate in front of you, grab their jacket and put that snow under the jacket @ the "lower neck". Icy cold water will run over the persons back. Everyone did that to each other and running away laughing🤣
The church at 10:06 is the „Frauenkirche“ („her lady‘s church“), which was totally turned into rubble in the air raid that burnt down the whole city. Only after the unification of Germany it was decided to rebuild it base on old pictures and plans. The few dark bricks visible in the facade are sthe few original parts that were reused…
ppl always ask me, why they never heard of german wine, cause we drink it all ourselves, we nearly dont export any, cause we dont want to share them. i would recommend a white rießling! or a bocksbeutel from frankonia. hard to get your hands on one of these outside germany
During WW2, the British and Americans stopped importing German wine. It used to be more expensive than Bordeaux.
If you want to visit your brother, the first region has already been decided. Of course there are many other beautiful regions. the crucial thing is time. Most US citizens want to visit Europe in 10 days. So take your time and if you like it you'll come back anyway.
Greetings from Nuremberg 🌍
21:55 Frankfurts nickname is "Mainhattan" (The river Main goes through it)
the black forest is beautiful ,i went there with the army a few times

Quedlinburg and Meppen are beautiful old towns
I think u will love❤ switzerland... u get views in summer...like carribean blue lakes with lush green hills and snowy mountain in the background!
AND don't be afraid of the language - many Germans, especially younger Germans, can converse with you in perfect English.
"perfect English"? Let's say quite good.
@@martinloss4171 As I Brit, I have had my English grammar corrected by a German. Of course, we suffer from the disadvantage of never actually being taught English grammar in school.
Happy New Year to you and yours ...Mike you should visit New Hampshire's Mount Washington it's a beautiful place within driving range...we went in September and there was 8 inches of snow at the top which closed the road you can drive up the mountain but it was awesome anyway....love you reactions especially the comedy ones because Jess's laugh is so contagious it brightens my day....Karl from eastern Canada🎆🎆🎆👍👍👍
amazing reactions, amazing video
Nürnberg and Kulmbach are very nice citys to visit.special for awesome fresh brewed Beer 🍺
Just as additional information. Schloss Hohenzollern is still inhabited by the grandson of the last german emperor. Him and his wife give tours through through the castle.
Get to the mountains...breathe truly fresh air.....this video makes me want to return......
yes please visit our country, and maybe do a Vlog :) it would be awesome! If you need help let me know, I live around Munich area and could show you some places here!
Thanks a lot, Germany-Visitors for your Likes about my country. ❤
America and Great Britain have amazing and beautiful places and landscapes, towns, too..💕
Sure other countries, too. 😉
I've been to all this places! And it's a great list ... but: in my opinion there are some even more stunning places in Germany not shown in his video!
So pack your suitcases and come over to Germany ... soon! :)
We have 25 000 castles and palaces in Germany, so take a lot of time 😊
Lake Chiemsee and Tegernsee are so beautiful
Awesome!!!
Funny, subbed to your channel a long time ago when you started reacting to Angelina Jordan, and now you came virtually visiting my place (I'm Bavarian), glad you liked it, would be fun to meet you when you come visiting, I'd definitely take a day or two to show you around. I'm living close to the alpes Zugspitze / Schloss Neuschwanstein, but I could catch you in Munich, which is my place of birth, which has a lot to offer, from there most of the destinations in the south of Germany shown in the video are within reach by car in not more than a couple of hours to the max (Rothenburg, Black Forest, many lakes...), just let me know when you're coming... Could also give you a tour in my permaculture garden in the Allgäu region... Happy new year to you, peace and love from Bavaria!
Btw., please react to RAYE covering Ella Fitzgerald "Cry Me A River" at the Kennedy Center Honors 2024, released shortly before Christmas. Cheers!
I spent 5 years in the British forces in Germany. A 3 year then a 2 year tour of duty. I met my wife whilst serving there. She was English, daughter of a British soldier. My wife's step mother was German, so we had many great holidays visiting the German side of the family. Bavaria in the south is such a beautiful place to visit and very traditional German. Lots of beautiful scenery and castles and the like. Sadly like all countries it does have it's less enjoyable places. But sadly that's the world today.
When I was at school I used to spend my 6 week holidays in Masson in Germany on the military base where my Brother in law was stationed and I absolutely loved it.

Sanccousi in Potsdam is very nice palace too and old town
It’s his drone footage. This is the amazing quality you get from all of DJI drones nowadays and not expensive.
Das Felsenlabyrinth in der Nähe von Wunsiedel ist faszinierend und wunderschön, aber leider fehlt es in diesem Video :)
if you are interested in the mountainous landscapes of this video, then you should really watch his videos about austria and switzerland too.
Happy new year to you and your family from Asturias
You should definitely check out video's about German reunifcation!
He makes great videos, with great picks and beautiful footage, but pronunciation and spelling are not his forte, so don't use him as a guide for that. 😅
yup! I don't understand why travellers on TH-cam don't make an effort to say the place-names properly - especially when they know that thousands of people will be watching and listening! Sometimes it makes me cringe.
@@soozb15Yeah I really hate it when tourists don't learn fluent German before visiting and making videos. Some people are just so unbelievably lazy.
Definitely. Pronunciation you can sort of understand if you’re not a native speaker in that country, but there’s no excuse for the spelling. I mean, just copy it from somewhere 😂
@@ianb8656 well I don't speak fluent German, but when I visited Austria for a few days I learned how to pronounce the place-names and some basic phrases. It really isn't that difficult for English speakers. Glückliches neues Jahr!
@@soozb15 Ahhhh, perhaps you need to keep to your own standards rather than expect them of other people and criticise them when they don't do it your way.
