    JANUARY 2023 - And we're back in the Bavarian Alps, to bring you one of the very best cable cars in Germany. The Nebelhornbahn in Oberstdorf takes you to the highest peak in the entire Allgäu region. (That region and this mountain are obviously very well-known in Germany, judging by the number of people I saw there... but I think most foreigners like me have never heard of it!). I was travelling to the Bavarian Alps in winter to see some snow, and this video shows how high you had to go this winter before seeing any :(
    I would definitely recommend a trip to the Nebelhornbahn, this is a mountain that you can easily go and visit with the Deutschlandticket / 49 Euro Ticket, since the trains from Munich are all Regional Expresses. I did the same before the Deutschlandticket existed (I had to buy the BavariaTicket though).
    I'm glad that I made this Germany travel experience in winter, but I would also definitely go in the summer and enjoy the greenery with some cool refreshments :)
    I hope that you're doing well and staying safe.

    The "I don't know how to explain this view" shot was fantastic... Epic shot, and then paragliders come into frame! This channel is so effortless, lighthearted and fun, but there's great camerawork and storytelling happening that is not so simple to pull off. Well done!

    Tom you're so funny. "Oberstdorf is not a well known site." lol
    In fact Oberstdorf is for at least 1-2 centuries now one of the 3 if not THE most famous german alps-village.
    It offers a wide variety of activities as there are FIVE valleys leading like the beams of a star from Oberstdorf into the alps.
    You mentioned just the Nebelhornbahn to the Nebelhorn, although there are several other lifts belonging to Oberstdort leading to other mountains.

    I'd probably be less worried about the job the Engineers and workers did building it, but more how seriously the company operating it takes (costly) maintenance and how closely the government checks they do it properly 😀 Germany probably a good place to be in that regard.

    • @anna2040
      @anna2040 Год назад +2

      @@thornton You definitely should! I would for sure recommend visiting Breitachklamm, especially beautiful during the winter time. Schrecksee, a mountain lake might be my personal favorite, but unfortunately has become a little bit of a „hotspot“. There is almost an unlimited amount of stuff to do and see so can’t go wrong with anything to be honest 😄

    I just watched this video. Again you surprised me with the whimsical carefree "just happened upon this" in my Google pins. Totally delightful the views paragliding birds even the plane. Sorry about the beer. But glad to hear you were giving a monthof dry living a turn. I loved everything that happened so easily in the video. Again you have a complexity for ease.

    In the USA flix has partnered with Greyhound. 😂 I took Greyhound in February from Reno, NV to Lawrence, KS it was kind of bad. I am glad you didn't have that bad of an experience. It was great that it was a train with no real stops or train changes. 😂

  • @Dragonshield2

    Only bad thing about the DeutschlandTicket fpr foreigners is how to get it. It's a subscription thing and has some really weird steps to aquire it - for minors in germany and foreigners.
    But maybe this will get fixed in the future, or maybe has been fixed by some "Verkehrsbetriebe" in more touristic areas.

    • @thornton
      @thornton  Год назад +2

      There are some cities who make it easy. I saw seat61 tweeting that foreigners can get it from Bremen’s VBN app. Agreed it’s kind of dumb that there’s no deliberate, centralised way…

    • @hfb_blaacc2591
      @hfb_blaacc2591 Год назад

      They may very well have done it this way on purpose to still get money off of tourists that don't really know about it or want to deal with aquiring it.
