Just loved this video. I’ve been watching a lot of videos on Germany in the past few weeks because we are leaving soon for a two week vacation there. This is one of the best I’ve seen. You gave a wonderful overview of the town. But really it was also your voice which is calm and well modulated and the light music in the background. Thank you. We will definitely stop in Dinkelsbuhl thanks to your video.
Hi Margaret, Firstly, have a wonderful vacation, we're just a little jealous because we love Germany. It's a beautiful country to explore, and we really want to discover more of it. I'm so glad you enjoyed our video and my style of presenting. Visiting should be a relaxing experience. Happy and safe travels, Gary & Janis
Am from the area of Noerdlingen originally and been to Dinkelsbuehl a few times. That town is underrated and overshadowed by neighboring Rothenburg. Probably a blessing in disguise, beautiful medieval town without the large hordes of tourists. Now at home in Oregon.
Johann, There's plenty of places in Germany that retain their original charm - we're looking forward to discovering more of them as we travel, but we have a soft spot for Rothenburg, and it's really good in the evening after the hordes have departed. We loved Christmas there in 2016, very different vibe to the larger Christmas markets. Not been to Oregon on our travels yet, one day 😍 Thanks for the comment, stay safe, stay well.
That's fabulous. Has it changed much? Other than probably more tourists? It has the feel of somewhere that hasn't, but...? And where are you in the US? On a tour of Texas back in 2011, we discovered so much German history in the state, such as Fredericksburg. Anyway, thanks for the comment, stay well.
@@OurWorldForYou I'm in Castroville, TX .. about 20 min west of San Antonio, TX .. previously spent 7 years in Houston, TX (transferred to Houston, TX from St. Louis, MO by my job in 1998)
We probably drove through there in 2011. We stayed in San Antonio for a few nights, not that far from the Riverwalk & Alamo, and then I've got a photo of the Pecos River High Bridge on our way to Marathon, so that puts us on route 90 - small world eh
Was stationed in Crailsheim with the US Army at McKee Barraks, 25km north of here on B25. Used to frequent a discotech here back in the mid 70s... Spent 12yrs in Germany as a surveyor and have surveyed near many of these beautiful walled cities/dorfen... Near by would be Ellwangen, Nordlingen and Alaan... Used to pass nearby here on my way to Augsburg to catch the B17 to Garmisch-Partenkirchen!
🙏 Thanks my friend, guess in some ways it hasn't changed a lot, but maybe it has. The '70s in Germany must have been a different world. I see you like a touch of Flight Sim, are you exploring the world through MSFS 2020? When I get the time I love to explore places we've been. If you get a chance check out our virtual Venice video Cheers, Gary
@@OurWorldForYou I thought myself 'fortunate' as I spent more time with the German people than I did with Americans in my unit. I typically spent anywhere from 2 weeks to 5 months away from my unit. I was stationed in Crailsheim but seldom ever got to stay longer than a weekend. I've surveyed from the Alps to 'Rhineland Pfalz to Tirschenreuth to Giessen/Ockstadt. One thing that helped me most was to learn German! That skill alone set me above and away from my American comrades!
That's nice, I like immersing myself in culture, but our trips to Germany have always been relatively short, and my German limited to 'Please', 'Thank You' and '2 beers please'. You also got to experience the different regions of Germany. Although then it was, of course, split into east & west' - a very different world.
🙏 Thanks - Those lists 📋 just keep getting longer, don't they 😀 - There's some real gems along the Romantic Road, but then there's other German route's we've yet to explore. Let's hope that's 2021.
Hi, We hope you have a fabulous time, it's a wonderful part of the world to discover, and we hope you get to take a look a little further afield too. Happy and safe travels, Gary & Janis
3:19 The red house is the old "Ratstrinkstube and there white sign on the corner whichs content is something like "This was the residence of Karl V. (Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of German Nations) 15??", if i remember corectly
Danke Marlene I am afraid my German has to stop there. I am learning it, but it's a little slow for my old grey cells. Thank you for the additional information, we love Germany and are so looking forward to returning to in late November for another look at the Christmas Markets. This time Trier, Koblenz and back to Cologne for our 13th visit. Thanks again for taking the time to comment, All the best, Gary & Janis
@@OurWorldForYou Nice that you learn German! Don't worry, even if your grey cells might nit be as efficent as they used to, it's still good to keep them busy. I once visited Köln and the Kölner Dom was pretty stunning, but i didnt go to many places there and the rest wasnt too spectecular. Ive heard that Koblenz has some nice Castles and fortresses though. Anyways, have fun in Germany!
Marlene Oh, the grey cells are kept busy with our blogging, videos and life - love to keep learning, but I wanted to know more that please, thank you, good morning, good bye, and two beers please - you know, the essentials. It's good fun and nice to see where some of our English language came from in those Anglo-Saxon times after the Romans left. The Kölner Dom is impressive, although we only visited on in 2015, our 7th time. We've enjoyed a lot of Germany, and plan to visit much more over the coming years. All the best, Gary & Janis
@@OurWorldForYou I always find the relation of Anglo-Saxon languages intresting too. I am from Lower Saxony and the dialects here (Plattdüütch and Frisian) are pretty similar to Dutch while Dutch is more similar to English than German. I understand a tiny bit of all these languages and you can really see how they all derived from each other.
🙏 Thanks Larry, it has a feeling of a place that hasn't changed much over the years 😍 - Although Germany has changed. It's hard to think of East & West Germany; yet for a generation it's a chapter in a history book. Thanks for the comment - hope all is good in Wisconsin -Janis & Gary

My Hometown ... born & raised there .. left in 1975 to go to the US with my Mom

Don't you miss it? Are you sometimes still visiting?

Definitely another place we'll add to our future travels map ^_^ The look of walled Bavarian towns like that is amazing.

If Go... Just one City.
Where ist better?
1.Dinkelsbuehl ?
2.Nordlingen ?
Thanks very much, glad you liked it. Tough question, I think I’d say Dinkelsbühl but both are so nice 😍
Doesn't look any different from when I visited in 1971.
