Today I explored Wuppertal ,It’s one hour from my hometown .Wuppertals landmark is the suspension railway also called Wuppertaler Schwebebahn it’s the only one in the world the suspension railway is over 100 years old it’s 13.3 km long with 20 stations. It’s absolutely fun to ride it  - บันเทิง
My mom died yesterday of cancer, she loved watching your videos and showing me. Even in her last hours, Crazy how something so small as watching TH-cam can make someone feel a lil normal in bad times. Thank you.
🙏🙏
Oh, I’m very sorry for your loss. Thanks for telling me. I hope you’re doing all right.
I’m sorry you lost your mother be sure to take care of yourself.
Sorry for your loss, WOW I know how that hurts, i lost my mom not long ago and I'm still suffering, i had a similar relationship with my mom as Mike does with his mom, I took my mom all over the place to see new things and go eat. I miss her SO!! I am so sorry for the loss of your mother.
I am 76 and a new follower from NJ. That transport system was more impressive than the Eiffel tower.
I’m jealous because you get to go back and watch all his cool videos for the first time. You’re going to have fun.
The German’s really do own all of the engineering. They’re very orderly and the trains look like nothing in the east, but I’m sure you already figured that out. Lol
Translate. Miles?autobahn limit? Wupper=¿river?
@@victoriafisher6934He said that the part of the Autobahn where they were riding was only allowed like 75mph max. Speed. Unfortunately not everywhere on the Autobahn is no speed limit. There are certain sections where it is and isn't allowed to ride full speed, but I have the strong feeling that they slowly but surely place more and more speed limits😡
Yea, the 'Wupper' is the river underneath the "Hover train"- 'Schwebebahn'.
I agree !
The Germans built that in 1900 says a lot about the engineering! Amazing thanks for sharing it, never knew about it.
The Wuppertal suspension railway may be unique,
but it is not the only suspended monorail in the world.
For example, suspension railways also operate in Dresden, Japan and the USA.
But the Wuppertal “Langen monorail suspension railway system” is the oldest and therefore
a model for all later systems.
Over 100 years old, but still looks highly futuristic! Very cool transport system!
Your Mom always seems so happy when you go back to Germany to see her! Have fun Mike and keep the videos coming!
💯
Lovely scenery. Mom is precious as always.
So glad to see your mom doing so well! Your travel videos to Germany are always great!
Your Mom could not be sweeter or more adorable. She radiates joy. 🥰
Thats pretty cool. I didn't even know something like this existed! All thanks to the GiV for showing us
i loved German gondolas, what a brilliant idea to make a train in the air. Your Mom is a gem! Love her
🥰
Mercedes German quality 30 years is a rare gem.
Netflix should produce a global travel show with the GIV. He has an incredible talent to inform and entertain. 10/10 on the likability scale.
It’s amazing that they had the ingenuity way back in the late 1800’s to build such transportation
They didn’t have iPhones and Androids back then lol! I miss socializing face to face!
If I went to Germany this is the main thing I would want to see. This is iconic monorail history. So cool!
Hard to believe the transport system was that old. They sure keep it looking great! Loved seeing your sweet mom. Her smile is infectious 🥰. You’re so lucky to spend time enjoying each other. Keep the awesome videos from Germany with mom coming! And ones with your German friends too!! 🤗
Aloha GIV Tolles Video danke das du mir meine Heimat zeigt. Natürlich wie immer einen lieben Gruß an deine liebe Mama Dein Fan from Kona Hawaii Tschüß Aloha
It's a public transit line that some people use for commuting to work. Of course they have to maintain it properly.
I visited this thing a few years ago, and I was surprised to learn that. I had previously thought it was a special tourist attraction, but nope, it's regular public transit.
Thank you Mike and Mom - so wonderful to see you both! I like how you always smile and seem so happy - it makes me feel that way too! Have fun! 🙂❤😊💐
My mum was from Wuppertal. Dad sent me this video link. They immigrated to Australia in the 1960s, where I was born. Since then, I met a French girl, had a family, and now I live in the south of France. I only visited Wuppertal once, to meet my mum's side of the family about 15 years ago. But I think I'll need to visit again one day. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Germany is so vastly different than California.
MAMA!!!!! I miss you my Love! Praise God you are doing well and God bless and keep you always. ❤
My wife Gisela and I enjoy your Germany video's. My wife came to the U.S. as a child from Germany back in the 50s. We wish you and your family best wishes.
Wow GIV that's amazing so futuristic looking hard to believe it's over a 100 years old ! ❤
I think he's so very lucky to have his Mama still around.
She's lucky and blessed as well , GIV is a great loving son ❤️
You said it mine passed away at 58 🌻😞
@@carriehenry6721 I'm sorry hun. 🌹
What a good son! And your mom looks great. Youre lucky to have her and visa versa
you never cease to amaze me with the places you find! Your mom is still rocking!
That was AWESOME! Very beautiful in that part of Germany 🇩🇪.
I wonder if Walt Disney saw that?
Love seeing your mom and your hometown and area's around there!! I can't even see places in the USA so this is really something special. Being handicap I'm stuck indoors so I truly appreciate. You and your mom Take Care and Stay Safe.
God I miss my mom , lost her 2 years ago , but I love every video you have with your mom!!
She is an adorable lady, GIV love every minute you can with her .
Im so happy the Elephant was ok, and hello to your Beautiful MOM
Your mom’s smile is like a ray of sunlight! ☀️ God bless you both!
The cleanliness and efficiency of the public transport there is impressive.
Excellent coverage of this monorail system!
Hello Sweet Mom from the USA we Love You,thank you for giving us the GiV you did a great job MOM.
Wow. I really enjoyed this video. I never knew there was transportation like this out in Germany. Impressive.
Being a railway fan, the Wuppertal Suspension Railway video amazed me. When watching videos from Germany and neighboring countries, the cleanliness always impresses me. But the filthy underground passageway really surprised me. It would be wonderful to be able to visit Germany, Switzerland and neighboring countries which form my ancestral history. I am told that there is an Ihle river as well as a small town by the same name.
Hi mom! So glad to see you again ❤
Really cool!! It's amazing that it's so old because it looks so modern! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 💟
That's Mercedes look fantastic
Peoples of the Americans like German products because they are Engineered to last and Easy to Maintain and Repair.
I agree 100%! I love my Mercedes! Iv owed German cars my entire life and I’m old!
The only American car I owned that I was able to get more that 350,000 miles on was my 1989 Jeep Cherokee with the straight inline six cylinder but of course they stopped making that engine.
I bought a VW bug in the 1970s for $100 and sold it two years later for $100! 😀. The fireman made a dune buggy out of it.
@@MegaLivingIt I had a Guards RED Porsche I really liked it. Fun car.
I don't know about that, you can't go wrong with Japanese imports either. I've owned both Jap and German cars, my new Merc has given me several electric problems.
Expensive though.
I lived in Germany years ago when my husband was stationed in schweinfurt . Loved the food/ beer fest. It took me 3 tries but I got my license, much harder than the states. All the signs and right aways. A place where you could have 3 seasons in one day.
I always loved German technology. Thanks for sharing, GIV.
Love it!!! Great video! Thanks for letting us see your part of the world. Where you grew up and where your mom lives. So cool! It makes me miss Europe so much! I used to live in London. But never went to Germany. Your mom is so cool. Great woman. It’s so nice that you went there to see her again. I’m sure she really appreciates it too. Show us more of Germany when you can. Have time. 👍
Good to see your mom again. She is so happy to have you home. I am a mom of 3 and know the feeling.
GIV, I love when you take us to places in Germany! It was lovely to see your mother looking so well. The schwebebahn was beautiful and it was interesting to learn about its construction.😊
I love your German videos Mike!
Ich bin ja schon oft mit der Schwebebahn gefahren, weil ich nicht weit weg von Wuppertal wohne und meine Berufsschule damals in Wuppertal war. Aber so einen schönen Bericht über die Schwebebahn hab ich wirklich selten gesehen. Klasse !!!! Danke dafür. Viele Grüße aus Velbert nach Krefeld. Hab noch 'ne tolle Zeit mit deiner Mum hier in good-old-Germany
That was really cool I'm glad the Elephant survived .
Adventure with Mom...priceless!!! She is soooo cute! Very cool train! Amazing that is over 100 years old...
Back in the 1970's when I was stationed in Germany I took a trip across Germany from Zweibrucken to Bremen to pick up my Toyota corolla car. then drove all the way back getting lost and helped by locals, memorable trip.
I just love your videos Mike. I’m the same age as your mom 77, she is a lovely lady, such a beautiful smile. Always smiling. Tell her hello from Cheryl in Bakersfield,California! ☺️
Mike I was thinking about you today... wondering how things were going. I was so glad to see you and your mom. I've always wanted to visit Germany. My great-grandfather Mohr was born and raised in Germany.. he came to the US I believe it was in the 1920s.
I'll never make it over there, but you and your mom have taken me to quite a few places. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I really enjoyed this video. Love seeing you and your mom enjoying yourselves.... love to you both.
I always enjoy your videos, and your mom with her beautiful smile make them even better!
Awesome!!!! I’ve never heard of Wuppertal & never knew the Schwebebahn existed. An engineering marvel!! Thanks GIV & Mom ❤️
Btw that rail system is very cool it looks like something that could be incorporated into almost any town!
Hi German in Venice your lovely mum looks 56 years old
2:00 I was in the US Army, stationed in Sandhofen (near Mannheim) from June '84 through November '86 working as a Chinook helicopter mechanic. Living in Germany was an incredible experience I will always cherish. There was another guy who was leaving back to the states and he was in a hurry to sell his 1975 Chevy Camaro with 350 cubic inch (5.7 liter) engine, which I snapped up for just $400. Drove it on the autobahn to Oktoberfest. At the time, generally there were no speed limits except in areas where it made sense due to turns or near densely-populated areas. The high point of my stay was driving from Germany through Luxembourg, France, then onto the ferry (before the Channel Tunnel was built) and over to Dover, then driving on the opposite side of the road all the way to High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, where I stayed with friends and family. The looks from people when they heard and saw the Camaro driving through small towns!
If I remember correctly, back then Dusseldorf was a sector occupied mainly by British Army forces. Curious Mike if they are still there, or if that changed after the Berlin wall came down in '89?
This brings back some great memories for me, first and last time I rode on the Wuppertal Schwebebahn was about 35 years ago while visiting a friend in Dusseldorf. We went to Wuppertal for a day trip, just to ride the Schwebebahn. As a Brit, I'd never seen anything like it in my life!
Glad to hear the 🐘 survived!👍✌️ and your mom looks great ❤
Your mom always looks happy. She has a beautiful smile
I bet President Biden would love that train too. Ty for sharing. Just marvellous. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇬🇧
Because I never leave my state of Florida, let me say thank you for the opportunity to travel to Germany and site see! ❤ amazing place and your Mom is fortunate to have you.
So good to see you and mom together ❤️
I think here in Chicago they got rid of the cigarrette machines about 35 - 40 years ago. A blast from the past! If I ever get back to Germany I'll definitely ride die Schwebebahn and the Rhein promanade in Düsseldorf.
Mom.....we love you❤
We need a Schwebebahn here in California. I vote for a Schwebebahn from Venture to Imperial Beach. Think about no obstructions the entire distance giving on-time schedules everytime one boards, how great that would be! The GiV is loving it, no LA traffic jams to contend with, free to go as he pleases, everyone can go with an on-time flow up and down the southern California coast. We have to retro fit the hanging cabs to accommodate surf boards! I vote that the new Schwebebahn run as close as possible along the beach stopping in Venice Beach 🏖️ for sure. The GiV to choose where that station gets to be. We can even dedicate the VB station to the GiV, calling the station GiVBS, German In Venice Beach Station. 🤗 🚟 🏖️
Thanks Mike and your adorable beautiful mother .....one of my favourite of all your videos as its full of love and mindfullness and beauty ....woke up depressed but the GIV and MIV (mom in Venice ) brightened my day ....good health to you both from Ireland .
Hello Mike & your MOM , WE MISS U & LOVE U❤
I think the sound of the train is more silent than my lunatic neighbors upstairs.
I usually play games on my phone when I watch you tube on my TV. But not when GIV is on. I give my full attention to your fun, informative, heartfelt vlogs. ♥️ your Mom
Ich bin Hamburger,lebe eine Ewigkeit schon in Kalifornien,habe eine Schwägerin in Krefeld wo ich oft bin und bin noch nie in Wuppertal gewesen!That is now on my „bucket list!“
Danke für die vielen guten Videos!
Wit fahren fahren fahren auf der autobahn
Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal
Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl
I had a great time G.I.V. and a great time with mom thank you for sharing your a great tour guide too love the sights my friend you both stay safe and God Bless 🙏
Blondie is 77 and still on stage rocking it! 77 is not what it used to be!
Yeah, well...
So good to see you back in Germany, Mike! As a german even I get to know so many things through your videos and learn new stuff. Really love your vlogging style, it's very unique! Keep up the good work ❤
What a BOSS ride! Thank! Your mama is ADORABLE!!
The GIV is one of the best reasons to watch TH-cam!! This train thing is amazing and a man who loves him mother is a real man!!
@6:51 the boy in grey shirt 😅, i would turn on videos on train rides/ plane rides to sleep. this was a good one
Thanks so much for this video.Bought back childhood memories of travelling on this as an 8 or9 year old in the 1960’s felt like I was flying through the air , finally able to understand its history 🙂
Another fantastic video that I enjoyed so much! Your mom is such a sweetheart, Mike. She’s just so great 🍃🌷🍃
friendliest mom on the world every time she smiles love it
The Wuppertal Schwebebahn is needed all over Los Angeles especially over the 405 freeway!!!
Mike thank you for the awesome ride on the fabulous railway. Germany is beautiful. Buy your Mom flowers everyday while you can. She is lovely.❤
I always love to see footage of other countries than my own. Like stepping into someone else's home town and taking it for a spin. Thanks for another nice video, GiV.
Good seeing Mom looking so happy and well ❤❤❤❤❤ love from LONDON, UK x
Your mama looks like a nice lady God bless her
GIV, thank you for a great video, I love seeing the sights of Germany. You might be back at home but you look very American 😂. I love all the history that you give throughout your videos, very nice, I always learn something with your videos.
Need a system like this over the freeways here in Orange county,Los Angeles too. To ease the car commuting..
A pleasure to see your mom again as always Mike; beautiful day, your in heaven, enjoy
I am truly enjoying your videos from Germany. Your mom is precious and a great sport. I went to Germany many years ago and I remember how beautiful the country was. I thought it looked a lot like where my German ancestors landed in the USA. I am from Wisconsin and it really reminds me of the farming communities in Germany. Now I want to ride on that train. Keep the videos coming. LOVE THEM
This is more fun than Venice beach.
Hi GIV, Hi Mom, great to see you together again!
Love to see your mom in the video! Her smile makes me smile. 💕
What a Fun Day!!! Enjoyed learning about the Suspension Railway!! Very Interesting!! Mom looks Beautiful Today!!!! Enjoy her!!! 🤗♥️👍
Thanks for the tour, great content 👌
Wow this was a great video, just amazing that was built in 1900, so good to see you and your Mom, looking forward to more Germany videos.
Since I married a Wuppertaler, we were married in the Kaiser Wagen of course: ) When you sign your marriage certificate the Schwebebahn has to stop because you're not allowed to get married in motion I guess *lol* And they let you pick your favorite place to stop, so we picked over our church, the Hauptkirche in Barmen. Thanks to your video I now know that the Firma MAN was involved in building the Schwebebahn. They also made the famous Muengstener Bruecke in Solingen and all the city busses and LKWs today, still. I lived in Barmen for 2 years and fell in love with the screech of the Kaiser Wagen like the locals. I rode the Schwebebahn to my German class every day. Glad your mom finally got to ride it.
😂😂” she’s got to take care of me”😂😂 … you sure got a sense of humor !
Great video always love seeing your mom.
Give our love to your Mom. So great to see her again.
Your Mom has the best smile!
What a beautiful contrast,to Venice Beach,every thing in Germany is well maintained,historically preserved and amazing, Venice Beach is like a bunch of cardboard boxes ready to fall down, thrashed, paved over, the only good thing left is the Mediterranean climate and the contaminated surf, glad you had some family time,and thanks for the ride of a lifetime.
I get what you mean, but much of the US in general lacks the charm & looks of large sections of Europe. But that has always been true. Yet the US over the decades has done well in spite of that, Europe has gone through rocky times (eg, WWII) not because of that. Wuppertal & Krefeld are suburbs of Dusseldorf, which is a region that has cultural-economic aspects of mid-sized American cities. Larger US cities like LA or NYC are full of grime & ugliness, but in spite of that & unlike mid-sized portions of Europe they're more complicated in an interesting jigsaw-puzzle sort of way. But the US in the 2020s is going through a nasty down cycle, just as Europe did during the first half of the 20th century.
I think the bird at the end was a heron🤔…but it was a little hard to tell for sure. Thanks for the great episode! I enjoy seeing the GiV hanging out with your mom,you always seem to be having a great time!
