9:45 The roofs are covered with either fired clay tiles (orange/red) or slate shingles (grey/black). Sometimes also with copper sheeting (copper-coloured/brown-black/green, depending on the age of the patina). And occasionally you can still find houses that are traditionally roofed with wooden shingles or thatch.
Check out the Kyffhäuser Monument. There was an imperial castle of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa in the 12th century and it was rebuilt with a monument to commemorate the Emperor. Legend has it that the medieval emperor is sleeping inside the mountain and wakes up when Germany needs him most. It's a mystical place. Little children who have visited the Kyffhäuser Monument together with their parents claim again and again and completely independently of each other that the stature of Barbarossa waved to them.
@@TheAngrySpud Yes, it kinda is. Due to historical reasons Bavaria considers itself a "Free State" and they pretend to not realy belong to Germany (they call the rest of Germans "Prussian pigs").
Lovely video, but too much emphasis on Bavaria and especially on the alps. They only cover like 2-ish % of the Germany‘s landmass, so they’re really not representative for the country‘s landscape. However, there are plenty of lower mountain ranges in central and southern Germany which look greener and softer. The Black Forest is a good example. I definitely prefer them. But he should have definitely included more places in northern and eastern Germany like Helgoland, Lübeck, Lüneburg, Schwerin, Stralsund, Rügen, Usedom, Potsdam, Quedlinburg, Leipzig, Dresden, Görlitz, Weimar, Erfurt and also places in central Germany like Marburg, Wiesbaden, Heidelberg, Würzburg, Bamberg, Regensburg, …
I'm surprised they didn't include Heidelberg. The allied forces didn't bomb Heidelberg, because they wanted to make it their headquarters after the WWII. The city survived in good condition, and preserved its Medieval architecture. I was stationed in Heidelberg at the US Army HQ.
Greetings from Heidelberg. Something has been missing culturally in Heidelberg since you left. I've been working there as a paramedic for 32 years now and have often had dealings with you at the US Hospital in HD, Patrick Henry Village, Mark Twain Village and Headquater and have met many nice people. We just had another German-American Friendship Festival at Patrick Henry Village. Old memories of my childhood came flooding back. As children we also had a friendly soccer team from PHV - Aya Heidelberg. The games were always fun and more like a big barbecue than a soccer game
@@Arch_Angelus I miss the days in Heidelberg. It was there I saw how culturally similar the Germans are to Americans. It was more obvious to me because I could speak German. They would get so excited when they met an American who could speak German, especially the German officers I worked with. It was always such fun when we would have German-American Festivals on the American Base. We would always cook hamburgers for everyone. It's funny how everyone thinks Hamburgers are American, when they're named after a north German city.
@@RobinPoe Same for me, except that I had most of my conversations in English, especially in medicine. The doctors and the soldiers were always grateful when they didn't have to speak German. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. Time flies by. But one thing will always remain. The friendships you have made and the memories that remain. Valuable and unforgettable and a life experience that could not have been more formative.
Hi , I have recently researched about your RUclips channel and I found your RUclips thumbnails good but they're not eye catchy so that people can click on your video. As a graphic designer, I can make your thumbnail more eye-catchy and dickable. So may I redesign the thumbnail for you? Let me know.
@@TheAngrySpud No, just tourist traps. Some realy are worth a visit, some are just hyped. If you want to experience Germany, rent a mobile home and drive across it. North to east to west, back to east, Going south all the time. You could even "air-bnb" in a castle.
Neuschwanstein Castle is byyyyyy faaaaar my favorite!!!! 🖤❤💛
btw. a literal translation of the name would be: NewSwanStone

That makes so much more sense. I'm sure they are doing it the right way compared to us, thanks for that! XD

Nice to see that you are interested into Germany. Hugz & kisses from here. Stay informed. ♥
Notable German, Austrian, and Swiss cities whose German name differs (even if only slightly) from their English one:
Köln (Cologne), München (Munich), Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Wien (Vienna), Zürich (Zurich), Genf (Geneva), Düsseldorf (Dusseldorf), Hannover (Hanover), Braunschweig (Brunswick), Würzburg (Wuerzburg), Konstanz (Constance)
older archaic ones (via French): Mainz (Mayence), Trier (Treves), Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), Saarbrücken (Sarrebruck), Koblenz (Coblence)
Germany has states just as the US. Bavaria is one of them, it is just like Texas, Florida, California etc.
More like Texas, keyword "mia san mia" (we are us) …
So is Bavaria considered the 'outsider' state or something lol?
@@TheAngrySpudgermany has states like USA, UK and every other land. Bayern (german name) is one of our 16 states.

Neuschwanstein is a perfect example of how close our languages are(english being a west-germanic language)new-swan-stone.
You're right "München "is the german name,.Bavaria is not separated,yet they looove to think so😂don't mess with Bavaria!🤭

You just desribed the purpose of a castle.you would need overwhelming numbers to conquer one.

Video title is wrong. Should be "top ten tourist traps to visit in Germany"
lol are they all bad places or something?
