HAPPY TRAVELS (when we’re not in the middle of a pandemic)! +++ BOOKING.COM is great for accomodations: bit.ly/3qG5mkz +++ GETYOURGUIDE is amazing for local tours & activities: bit.ly/3qC8v4Z
I'm 60 and I'm German and I have to work every day! I never see all of this locations, witch you have seen! But i want to see all these beautiful places in the future! Nice Video and beautiful, that you like Germany!
Heidelberg is nice. Also just driving around the Schönbuch forest is cool in the fall because it's a very hilly region with a mixed forest of mostly deciduous trees. It's very colorful and you get some pretty fairy tale views of little villages nestled in the forest glowing red and yellow and green with the fog flowing down the little valleys below you in the morning.
Nice selection. May i add: The North Sea coast. Walking to an island through the mudflats is an event you'll never forget. Also, for those interested in motorsports: the 24 hour race at the Nuerburgring. If you want to see germans going crazy, that's a good place. Take a hike around the Ring in the late evening hours to see "the real germans" going nuts. For a start, try Hoonigans video about the race.
Ich leb da wo andere Urlaub machen: am Bodensee 😍 Wunderschöne Landschaft an den Alpen, schöne mittelalterliche Städte (Konstanz, Lindau, Radolfzell, Überlingen, Meersburg älteste bewohnte Burg in DE...) Blumeninsel Mainau, Gemüseinsel (Klosterinsel) Reichenau (UNESCO-Welterbe), Pfahlbauten Freilichtmuseum 10.000 Jahre Geschichte (Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO) in Unteruhldingen, 3 Länder + Liechtenstein in wenigen km, Wassersport, Bootstouren, Museen, ideal zum biken, Zeppelin NT Flüge, Weinfeste und Weinproben, lecker Essen (Felchen), Bregenzer Festspiele (Oper im freien auf dem Wasser), Hegau mit Vulkanbergen, Obstbauregion, Weinbau.....
Hi, a very nice area in Germany is also the Bodensee and Konstanz. There are so many places around the Boensee that are really beautyfull! If you have a chance I would recommend a flight in a Zeppelin. It is a very special experiance - as it is very slow and you have an amazing view over the lake and the alpes as well as Konstanz, Mainau, Meersburg, etc... :-) Swiss, Lichtenstein and Austria are also near, so that you are able to hav a swimm in the morning a hikking mid day and a boat trip in the afternoon :-).
We toured Thüringen (Thuringia), Sachsen-Anhalt and Sachsen (Saxony) last year for a week and found AMAZING smaller towns! Eisenach, Gotha, Erfurt, Schmalkalden, Wittenberg, to name just a few.
My personal tipps as a german: 1. Schloss Moritzburg in saxony is very beautiful and has been the set of the traditional christmasmovie "3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel" 2. Neuwerk: Neuwerk is a small island of the north coast f lower saxony and when the tide is right you can walk over there. I grew up in the region and it still always blows my mind that i have to take the boat to get back home after I walked over to Neuwerk. It is just such a unique place!
Good choice ; you even manage not to mention Heidelberg, a must-do for every American visiting Germany. I have a good bet not far away : Schwetzingen (castle and park) and Speyer
You should definitely check out the Schwetzingen Schlosspark during the cherry blossom season. It is so beautiful, although it could be a bit crowded but it’s definitely worth it.
I urgently recommend Dresden with its beautiful old buildings from former centuries. And you can find beautiful places and thrilling views nearby in the Saxon Switzerland (Sächsische Schweiz).
Hi, I really appreciate your videos, I'm from the US and I plan on spending 2 weeks in Germany this December. I am currently doing duolingo and trying to immerse myself in the language as much as possible. Thanks to your video I am definitely adding Monschau to my trip
At least along the Rhine and Moselle you' ll typically to get a glass of wine than beer since that are wine regions and most castles are surrounded by vineyards. Dirndls you'll only find in Bavaria.
A wonderful video. I can highly recommend the area of the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte if you like water with the Müritz the biggest lake in direct Germany. Potsdam the capital of Brandenburg with castle Sanssouci and Holland quarter, the Ostfriesischen Inseln and the city of Emden. The isle of Rügen, the Hanse city's of Stralsund and Wismar.
Thank you soooo much! I haven’t yet been to the Osfriesischen Inseln or Wismar! So I’m adding those to my list of explorations 🥰 The others I’ve been to, and can agree! Absolutely STUNNING! 😍😍
@@robertzander9723 Generally all of the hanse cities are worth a visit. Lübeck, Wismar, Stralsund, Hamburg, Greifswald, Rostock. They all have beautiful old towns and port districts
Hi ya what a beautiful places I love to go there so much to see I can't wait to learn Germany so I can have the full experience with German people and I love to paint the landscape in oil what beautiful places .
Just started watching you videos and I love them! I visit Germany a couple of times a year but would love to relocate from the uk one day. We also stay around rudesheim area and it is just stunning! We also love koblenz, the rivers are just amazing!
Living in Northrhine-Westphalia myself, I'm glad you mentioned the Eifel region... one of my favorite hangouts for hiking and biking.😊 Monschau is located in the far west, close to the belgian border. Worth mentioning, that Freudenberg is literally next to the Autobahn from the Ruhrgebiet area to Frankfurt a.M. 😉 It's definitely worth a 1 hour stopover. 👍
Dearest Jenna, I was born and raised in Bremen, a big (proud) city in the northern part of this country. Make absolutely sure to visit the district "Schnoor"- some houses are from the 15th century.... America was still undetected at that time... do some research before visiting though. Bremen is really worth having a closer look upon.
Ohhhhhh, I’ve been! And sadly only for one day! I visited the Schnoor district - incredible! BUT I HAVE TO GO BACK! In order to really appreciate it! 🥰🥰 can’t wait to start exploring again after these lockdowns!
The cities I really love as a nature person and I'd recommend are: Heidelberg, Passau, Baden-Baden, Marbach am Neckar All of them are in the south, where I come from and smaller ones.
Bischt wohl ä Pälzer, hä?!?!😂 You forgot the “Saarschleife“, Grubenmuseum in Bexbach, the Roman Villas in Schwarzenbach and Perl/Nennig and finaly the big forest areas with the Fahrradrundweg(bicycle round tour)
Jenna u should really give saarland a second chance ^^ we have a lot of beautiful hiking and cycling tracks especially the Traumschleife track. The Saarbrücker Castle, the st. Wendel christmas and midevel market, the kirkeler midevelfestival, the saarlouis oldtown and the biggest Summerfest in the southwest Emmes. There are a lot of beautiful things to do, hike, cycle and get a rest at the St Johanna Market in Saarbrücken old town.
Hello Jenna, This is another great video and I am so glad that I found y our channel. Thanks so much for the tips. I am an American that travels (PRE-COVID) to Germany at least 1-3 times a year and I love every second of it. After living in Germany for a total of six years I guess you could say that I am hooked on Germany. I love the People, Culture, Food, and of course Spaghetti Eis lol. I have been watching your great videos and I will catch up one of these days. :).
Not so far away from Rothenburg is Schwäbisch Hall and Bad Wimpfen. Definitely worth a trip. And in the far north of Germany i could recomend Flensburg, Husum and the Frisian Islands. And yes, you already said it, Quedlinburg - absolutely gorgeous.
I moved from NRW to Brandenburg/State over 20 years ago, to the Spreewald. You should definitely visit the Spreewald. Especially the typical places and houses are always worth a visit.
@@lifeingermany_ Depends on what you like better. You can explore the Spreewald in summer or winter. From my point of view, however, it goes better in the summer.
I recommend "Insel Rügen", "Usedom" or the "Meereskundemuseum" in Stralsund, all in the north east of germany, to you to visit. And please taste a "Rollmopsbrötchen". So delicious.
Seems like you've been having a great time in this country! Rothenburg o.d.T. definately needs more visitors from the US or Canada for it's being overrun by Chinese tourists.... Freudenberg is a must see for sure - my next destination is going to be Monschau - Danke für den Hinweis!
Hi, a German here who grew up in the region of Germany you are now living in... and I do have a few nice places worth a day trip which are not to far away from Düsseldorf. There is for example Solingen Burg, approximately 30 minute drive from Düsseldorf. The castle is also a museum. Not far from there you can continue to Solingen Gräfrath where you can find the HARIBO factory store. And if you want to turn this into a round trip you can continue from there to Wuppertal Vohwinkel and take a trip on the worlds first and oldest suspension / overhead railway build in 1901. A little less then an hour north is Xanten, the site of an old Roman settlement turned museum.
LOVE all these tips!! I’ve also done this entire round route and it’s one of my local faves!! ♥️♥️ I haven’t actually stopped in at the factory store or the museum, so I’ll check those out next time! 😍 thanks so much!
I just say Schleswig-Holstein is missing. Lübeck, Ratzeburg, Mölln, Sylt and Helgoland. You should definitely visit this.Greetings from Schleswig-Holstein
Who visits Heidelberg should think about a short visit in Weinheim an der Bergstraße. We have three castles and the most beautiful garden/park, called Hermannshof and a cute old town with a market place surrounded by cafés and restaurants. 15 km north of Heidelberg.
Ein Tip! Gönnt Euch mal zumindest eine Nacht im Kempinski Hotel Berchdesgarden! Eine traumhafte Lage und zum Abschluss eine Seefahrt mit Forelle Essen St. BARTOLOMÉ, ok, es ist etwas teuer, aber es lohnt sich!
Ein sehr engagiertes Video, danke Jenna! Du bist offenbar die geborene Touristik-Managerin und vllt auch Stadtführerin! LG von der Elbe an den Rhein Ben
one of my favourite places to visit is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. If you are ever in the region again, check out Dinkelsbühl, Schwäbisch Hall, Schloss Weikersheim or Schloss Schillingsfürst with its birds of prey show. And of course the Bodensee region, or the alps and the lakes like Tegernsee, Schliersee, Chiemsee ... it all depends if you're more outdoorsy or cultural oriented. And I know Germany isn't exactly known for it's beaches but I love the north sea coasts...or Hamburg or ....so much to see. Hope the whole Corona thing is over soon.
I was stationed near Rothenburg odt. Whenever I had statesside visitors, Rothenburg odt was always 3rd on the list of places to take family/friends after Nuremberg and Wurzburg. R.odt can be extremely packed during the peak season or near empty during the off season. As far as Garmisch-P versus Berchetsgaden, I will take Berchetsgaden. Taking the electric boat to the end of the Konigsee and then walking back towards the waterfall beats just about anyplace I have ever been. Berchetsgaden to me has 3 main attractions - Eagles Nest, the Jenner and the Konigsee.
Thanks for the video! Germany is diverse, has many faces and is more than just Munich and Oktoberfest. Many do not appreciate what they have when they open the front door. I was actually just waiting for the reference to the sponsorship by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.😀
There is a bonus, visiting Rhine and Mosel valley: "Great Wines". When you go to Schwerin, go north to the Baltic Coast. Statically the weather is just second to the Freiburg Br. area.
Hallo Jenna, ich schlage folgende Orte vor sich anzusehen: Ostfriesland (Weener, Leer, Emden Norden), die ostfriesischen Inseln z.B. Borkum mit 2,5 Std. Überfahrt mit der Fähre plus Eisenbahn auf der Insel. Insel Rügen (im Winter), dort den Königsstuhl, Sassnitz, U-Boot-Restaurant Nautilus in Neukamp bei putbus. Stralsund (Altstadt), Rostock, Ribnitz-Damgarten (Bernstein Museum, Bernstein Manufaktur), Kassel (Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, Park, Herkules)
Hi I've seen some of Travelling videos of american, asiatican and from other continents (Australia & New Sealand) I'm geerman and I guess everyone of you missed the North sea- it's different from the south of Germany but there is atotally different look of the villages, Towns and the people whol lives there. Sorry for my bad english - but if once visted an Isle like Langeoog - you feel really calm down, no cars only the sea, the wind, the sun - if youre lucky it#s an great feeling
Siebengebirge (Petersberg, Ölberg, Drachenfels, ... tons more) Ahrbachtal in Rheinland-Pfalz, bei der Eifel (Ahrschleife, Weinbergwerg) rund um Vogelsang in der Eifel Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord hat auch eine alte umfunktionierte Zeche
I wrote all of them down! Hope to travel most of them during weekends of Jan - Feb next year. Any tips of what’s the best places to travel during those months? 😍
I always say visit all the smaller towns in the winter! They’re more charming and larger cities (including My own - Düsseldorf) are sleepy towns in the winter and a little depressing 😬😝
You haven't been to Flensburg, up in the north next to Denmark!!! I urgently recommend it! Particularly in the summer, when days are so incredibly long. And then (June, July, August) go and see the islands Amrum, Föhr and Sylt. And on thr mainland St Peter-Ording! You will be surprised about what really big beaches we have - And how beautiful
Love everything about this comment! I haven’t been to Flensburg yet! 🥰 and also none of the islands! Marking these spots on my “places to go” on Google Maps now! Thanks so much!!
Dein Kanal könnte jetzt mein Liebelings auf RUclips sein und ich habe ne gute Menge Subskriptions. Es wird toll, als ich meinen Abstieg weiter in die deutsche Kultur und Deutschland starte. Das hier wird genau meine Nische. Du bist schön, spaßig und artikulierbar. Muss ich kurz erwähnen, auch würde ich gern Regensburg oder Freiburg und die kleinen Bächle besuchen. Ich hoffe aber im Norden zu leben. Ich bin nur schonmal in München, Frankfurt und Heidelberg gewesen.
baden württemberg the whole bodensee area konstanz,überlingen,unteruhldingen(with its stonage village) use the camping site "klausenhorn" and bring anti mosquito spray and enjoy!
I think you should once go to the coast of north sea and the Baltic sea. There are many different places where you can find by yourself and where is no tourist at all. I was so surprised with everything I saw at the coasts, it's really worthy going there. Where exactly everyone may decide for himself, but if you want to visit an old viking village, should visit Haithabu. Or St. Peter Ording is a very good place to see. You see so much of the northern German history there too 😊
Thanks alot for some great tips for a German even. And ....I was born and live in Aachen. Not far from Monschau. I would say.....it never was a secret tip. Hope you bought Monschauer Senf? All the best, Alice
Well do you know the island of Neuwerk ? Neuwerk is an island who belongs to the city of Hamburg. Neuwerk is in the North sea. You can get to the island by vessel from Cuxhaven or doing a 10 km walk through the mudflats or a coach ride through the mudflats. Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg
@@lifeingermany_ Neuwerk is only 3 km² big. There are no cars allowed but tractors. On Neuwerk are living pretty less people, mostly farmers. The lighthouse of Neuwerk built in 1389 is one of the oldest building of Hamburg.
We have lived here 5 years in S. Bavaria and only done HALF of the things we want to do in a 100km radius.... and we come from Colorado... 10x more beautiful
If you love nice medieval old towns you should visit Marburg, with it‘s old town hall built in 1512 and it‘s castle on the top of the cities „Oberstadt“. When you start your trip to Marburg in Lahnstein at the Rhine river and follow the river Lahn, you will also pass some nice castles and palaces in Weilburg and Braunfels. And for all castle lovers Eisenach and the Wartburg is worth a visit, too. Following the A4 further you reach Weimar which is the city of Goethe and Schiller and also where the Bauhaus architecture and design school was founded.
WOW! Thank you so much for all of these incredible tips!! I’ve added them all to my list and hope I can visit all of these places with my camper soon!!! 🥰🤗
Absolutely! I live there and it's so pretty here. But please remind that it is terribly overcrowded in summer, especially during the German Summer Break at Schools. A little advice: avoid the beach bar in Übersee. The beach in Chieming is much better and less people are there. Especially on windy days you can kite at the lake, on "normal“ days it's fun to rent a pedal boat or a SUP.
@@lenastampfl9461 good morning, I get your point and yes... Beach bar is crowded... But as a local.. Get your drink from beach bar, take it a few meters and sit down and enjoy an amazing sunset with fewer people. Or walk a few meters from Strandbad, there are some other really nice places to go for a swim! And yes, I also love Chieming, it's cool to look there for the unique stones there! :) The probably best view over the lake you'd get from Gstadt on zhe other side of the lake. I'm glad you like my area! :))
You pick up interesting not to crowded spots in germany.I know that you´re livving in Düsseldorf and recommand you the village of Arcen (near Venlo) in the Netherlands for a day trip.I guess you would like it. keep it up and stay safe.
@@lifeingermany_ I'm a Canadian living in Leipzig with my German husband. If you ever decide to come to Leipzig during the summer, we'd be happy to show you around 😊 Leipzig is wonderful, it's really my city 💗
My gosh, what a beautiful video. Have been to Rothenburg, wonderful as you described. Have you been to Lindau am bodensee, or Mainu, by Constant? There is a RUclips video that shows many beautiful towns, that were never destroyed in WW II. Rothenburg is one of them.
can't belive you didn't mention Sächsische Schweiz and all the villages there or even Dresden (close to sächsische Schweiz). Guess you haven't been there yet. But you definitely should!
Nativ, babyboomer German here I have traveled to my nation for more than two decades as a salesman and I would rate your top 10 places as a very good choice. Especially that you advise the Harz region shows that you had seen a great portion of my country. But I would (as my personal choice) advise another hill area the Taunus (Idstein or Bad Schwalbach or the Rheingau).
Ohhhh yes! I have to agree! 😍😍 Idstein is such a charming little town! Also one of my favourites! Was hard to choose just 10 hah! I need to go back the the Taunus area again though! I was only there for a night or two a few years ago!
I live like 15 minutes away from Düsseldorf in Wuppertal, which may not be the most beautiful city, but there are a lot of cultural things you could experience and of course the Schwebebahn. But I think there are quite a few places nearby Düsseldorf you could visit, maybe even during Covid. For example the Landschaftspark in Duisburg or the Gasometer in Oberhausen (but that's probably closed in lockdown)
If you have never been to the coasts if Nord- and Ostsee, go ahead. I specially love the islands. In the north the lakes are also extremely beautiful but of course I'd suggest the lake of Constance and the area next to it called Hegau with a couple of old volcanic mountains, each of it with the ruin of an old castle. If you ate lucky you have a spectacular view to the lake and the Alps behind. Of course the city of Constance is worth a visit, as much as a tour in a boat to Meersburg or even Lindau in Bavaria or Bregenz in Austria. In Bregenz there is the Seebühne, where they play an opera on a platform in the water. It was shown in one of the latest James Bond films. Take your time because in this area there are alone dozens of tiny or larger villages or towns worth visiting. Friedrichshafen with the Zeppelin and Dornier-Museum or St. Gallen in Switzerland with a stunning monastery and it's famous library. And last but not least the island of the Reichenau with the UNESCO world cultural heritage churches full of art dating back more than 1000 years. From Freiburg it's about a two hours drive. In Sumner the camping areas are overcrowded, but if you get here in spring you will have the chance to drive around between millions and millions of apple trees in flower! Breathtaking. And there are not so many tourists. But get there early, as spring comes earlier in the south than in the Düsseldorf area.
Great question! 🙃 I might start filming a few ~ especially when they’re a bit more vlog style! Otherwise my husband would be so awkward in front of the camera if I just had him sitting there 🤣🤣
@@lifeingermany_ thanks for answering!! And I look forward to more vlogs from you then, yayyy! PS: I am from Germany but lived in Oakville and Toronto for 4 years total so that is why i love your Canadian-German Videos =) You rock!
A very nice area ( a bit like the Black Forest in the southwestern end ) would be the "Bavarian Forest" ( Bayrischer Wald) in the southeastern End of Germany. In Furth im Wald they have a Dragon festival in August with performances, theatre etc. And if you like some recommendations on really ancient and old places, here are some in my wonderful home state Hessen: the Grube Messel, an archaelogigal paradise where tons of fossiles and stuff still is being dug out. the Hessenpark, a literal Museum village, where many old buildings haven been brought to and restaurated and many old and ancient professions can be seen and tried out nearby there, there is the Saalburg, an ancient Roman castel, which is about 2000 - yes thousand - years old, which can be visited. We recommend to get a guided tour through it; they do offer family tours where the kids will have some active parts, as well. The Grube is near Darmstadt around 40-50 km south of Frankfurt, the other two are northwest of Frankfurt and a little closer - I would say 25-30km If you are into plants or roses more specifically, visit the Bad Nauheimer or Steinfurther Rosenfest, which will take place in 2024 next time, I guess. Several world famous rose breeders are located there and they celebrate themselves and each other with a parade, open Sundays, special festivals all around the flower rose.
Hi, I just saw your video and liked it a lot. Especially for mentioning my hometown Essen. I would like to propose you to take a tripp to the "Natinalpark Kellerwald Edersee". Taking the car it takes no more then 3 hours from Düsseldorf. And as I think you're kind if a nature lover I'am sure you will like it. Regards Dietmar
Ey, das Münsterland ist auch schön! Wasserschlösser, Radwanderwege, Stadt Münster mit dem Prinzipalmarkt, Naturparks, Viel Geschichte zum Westfälischen Frieden, Campingplätze, u.s.w
Biosphärenreservat Pfäzerwald mit Dahner Felsenland. Eine der schönsten Naturlandschaften Deutschlands an der Französischen Grenze. Buntsandstein Felsen und Burgen!
i don`t know if you need more trvelling tipps right now, but i would like to connect you with this little gem - my homeregion 'altes Land' with the wonderful city of Stade. A little maritim northern must see of Germany
I have never heard of Freudenberg despite beeing a German. Must be a real secret. My sugestion would be Tübingen south of Stuttgart and the Swabian Alb
Your Tipps are really interesting, but I guess they are quite random of course, and there are sooooooo many other places as beautiful and interesting as those you have shown. If you go to Germany and travel around you can't miss them because there are everywhere! 😎
I basically went through 7 years of photos and picked the ones that brought back the nicest memories! 🤗 would love some more places if you have any in mind!
kinda funny i havent been to Monschau yet even though im living in Aachen for few years. Guess the public transport connection is just too bad... My personal recommandations: Teutoburger Wald (Hermannsdenkmal, Dörenther Klippen/ Hockendes Weib, Tecklenburg,....), Münster (probably better when covid is over), Hameln and Sylt (car-train experience alone is worth a visit)
As a German. It was for me more impotent when I was young 30 years ago to Travel with my Motor Cycle to foreign places like Luxemburg, Belgien. Straßburg (France) Swiss and Austria. But you are such a vivid and Beautiful young Lady, Your husband is a happy man, I guess. Ich wünsche ihnen eine schöne Zeit in Düsseldorf. Liebe Grüße aus Font de Sa Cala Mallorca. I don't like the cold weather in Germany.
KALKRIESE is the place to go to find the german roots. That is the place, mostly all germans later referred to, it is the Galipoli of the Australians and the fields of Flandres or Dieppe for Canadians. Kalkriese is the biggest ancient battlefield where the united german tribes defeated the roman empire ... Every german child learns about Hermann, the Cherusker and his career up to the battle of Teutoburger Forrest and the free german in the north fighting for independence. 6 Legions were defeated and roughly 40.000+ died with all roman innovations the roman empire had to offer. Why do we all know about that ? Well, it was a big defeat and the roman emperor cried out "Varus, Varus, give me my legions back" which was covered by the historians. the major point is that the germans had prepared a trap by using their knowledge of the area and the roman military strategy + tactics ... and therefore the romans were drawn into a swamp where they could not unfold their strength. That swamp finally lead to a conservation of all artefacts like weapons, coins, treasures, metal tools and items and even traps of bones of horses and so on. Kalkriese is a camper site also great for kids above 7 years cause the museum offers a kids programm about culture and art and clash of civilisations in form of exchange and trade or battle. The battle ground had been found by whoom ? of cause a british officer ... yes, back at the end of ColdWar Osnabrück was the biggest british garrison outside UK and Major Clunn went for archealogy surveys around Kalkriese back in 1988 ... The Sculpture honoring Hermann had been erected on a false place 100 km away by Wilhelm the emperor 100 years earlier when the battle site was unknown. And next to the excavation site you will find a lake called Alfsee + camping site ... Where is Kalkriese? Basically close to the Highway A1 north of Osnabrück where the highway crosses the middle canal. 4 km eastwards and you are there, on the biggest existing ancient battlefield in europe
Ich schlage die „Fränkische Schweiz“ und Bamberg, Forchheim, Bayreuth, Pottenstein, Gößweinstein, Streitberg.... vor. Und Wunsiedel (Luisenburg). Bayern besteht nicht nur aus Baiern, sondern auch aus Franken 😁und Schwaben. Und Oberpfalz 😀
Do you know the Lahn Valley? Start at Limburg. Burg Eltz was on the old 500 DM note, but the Dome of Limburg was on the 1000 DM note. You can even have the view like at that note from the highway bridge (and the Autobahn is really a high way there). Limburg has also a station at the ICE track from Cologne to Frankfurt, but this station "Limburg-Süd" is way out of the city at the other side of the Autobahn. You have to take a bus to the city. If you follow the winding river downstream (which you could also do by boat) you'll see many cloisters, churches and castles including the castle of Nassau (the King of Netherlands and the Grand Duke of Luxemburg are of House Nassau). Bad Ems was once of the most famous and exclusive spa towns in Germany, and in Lahnstein (founded in 369 by Romans) the Lahn discharges into the Rhine vis-a-vis of Castle Stolzenfels, some kilometers upriver from Koblenz.
I think Lübeck, wich is close to Schwerin should be a city that you like. Also the "Lübecker Bucht", wich is the coast of the Baltic sea. Way down in the south you gut Konstanz, with it's border to Switzerland. Konstanz is quite full of tourists in the summer, but it's a nice city and the location at the lake is great.
HAPPY TRAVELS (when we’re not in the middle of a pandemic)!

I'm 60 and I'm German and I have to work every day! I never see all of this locations, witch you have seen! But i want to see all these beautiful places in the future!
Nice Video and beautiful, that you like Germany!
Heidelberg is nice. Also just driving around the Schönbuch forest is cool in the fall because it's a very hilly region with a mixed forest of mostly deciduous trees. It's very colorful and you get some pretty fairy tale views of little villages nestled in the forest glowing red and yellow and green with the fog flowing down the little valleys below you in the morning.
Nice selection.
May i add: The North Sea coast. Walking to an island through the mudflats is an event you'll never forget.
Also, for those interested in motorsports: the 24 hour race at the Nuerburgring. If you want to see germans going crazy, that's a good place. Take a hike around the Ring in the late evening hours to see "the real germans" going nuts. For a start, try Hoonigans video about the race.
Ich leb da wo andere Urlaub machen: am Bodensee 😍
Wunderschöne Landschaft an den Alpen, schöne mittelalterliche Städte (Konstanz, Lindau, Radolfzell, Überlingen, Meersburg älteste bewohnte Burg in DE...) Blumeninsel Mainau, Gemüseinsel (Klosterinsel) Reichenau (UNESCO-Welterbe), Pfahlbauten Freilichtmuseum 10.000 Jahre Geschichte (Weltkulturerbe der UNESCO) in Unteruhldingen, 3 Länder + Liechtenstein in wenigen km, Wassersport, Bootstouren, Museen, ideal zum biken, Zeppelin NT Flüge, Weinfeste und Weinproben, lecker Essen (Felchen), Bregenzer Festspiele (Oper im freien auf dem Wasser), Hegau mit Vulkanbergen, Obstbauregion, Weinbau.....
Hi, a very nice area in Germany is also the Bodensee and Konstanz. There are so many places around the Boensee that are really beautyfull! If you have a chance I would recommend a flight in a Zeppelin. It is a very special experiance - as it is very slow and you have an amazing view over the lake and the alpes as well as Konstanz, Mainau, Meersburg, etc... :-) Swiss, Lichtenstein and Austria are also near, so that you are able to hav a swimm in the morning a hikking mid day and a boat trip in the afternoon :-).
i live near Speyer, RLP and even as a local i just love spending my time here :)
We toured Thüringen (Thuringia), Sachsen-Anhalt and Sachsen (Saxony) last year for a week and found AMAZING smaller towns! Eisenach, Gotha, Erfurt, Schmalkalden, Wittenberg, to name just a few.
Not to forget Weimar, the city of Goethe and Schiller, if you are interested in German literature.
Wernigerode, Quedlinburg,Meissen,Pirna,Annaberg-Buchholz,Görlitz.................usw.
My personal tipps as a german:
1. Schloss Moritzburg in saxony is very beautiful and has been the set of the traditional christmasmovie "3 Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel"
2. Neuwerk: Neuwerk is a small island of the north coast f lower saxony and when the tide is right you can walk over there. I grew up in the region and it still always blows my mind that i have to take the boat to get back home after I walked over to Neuwerk. It is just such a unique place!
Are you still missing Saxon Switzerland and the small town of Görlitz.
Ich kann definitiv Franken empfehlen, vor allem Bamberg oder Nürnberg. Aber auch die ganze Gegend drumherum ist wunderschön.
Good choice ; you even manage not to mention Heidelberg, a must-do for every American visiting Germany. I have a good bet not far away : Schwetzingen (castle and park) and Speyer
and the Welde brewery
You should definitely check out the Schwetzingen Schlosspark during the cherry blossom season. It is so beautiful, although it could be a bit crowded but it’s definitely worth it.
I urgently recommend Dresden with its beautiful old buildings from former centuries. And you can find beautiful places and thrilling views nearby in the Saxon Switzerland (Sächsische Schweiz).
I can second that! 😍🤩
Well, Dresden is nice. But the really cute town there is Meißen!
What is so urgent, are you scared the US will bomb it again and destroy it?
What about edingen-nekarhausen? What about Büdingen? What about Atlanta?
Hi, I really appreciate your videos, I'm from the US and I plan on spending 2 weeks in Germany this December. I am currently doing duolingo and trying to immerse myself in the language as much as possible.
Thanks to your video I am definitely adding Monschau to my trip
I can recommend Erfurt, Leipzig, Dresden, Görlitz.😁👌 They have all stunning old town districts. Really gorgeous.
The Blautopf in Blaubeuren is beautiful and the small town around is so gorgeous 😊
A castle, a flag, beer and a bright smiling lady in a Dirndl.
A can't wait to see more, i really excited.🍻
At least along the Rhine and Moselle you' ll typically to get a glass of wine than beer since that are wine regions and most castles are surrounded by vineyards. Dirndls you'll only find in Bavaria.
A wonderful video.
I can highly recommend the area of the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte if you like water with the Müritz the biggest lake in direct Germany.
Potsdam the capital of Brandenburg with castle Sanssouci and Holland quarter, the Ostfriesischen Inseln and the city of Emden.
The isle of Rügen,
the Hanse city's of Stralsund and Wismar.
Thank you soooo much! I haven’t yet been to the Osfriesischen Inseln or Wismar! So I’m adding those to my list of explorations 🥰
The others I’ve been to, and can agree! Absolutely STUNNING! 😍😍
@@lifeingermany_ Wismar is beautiful, a little secret.
@@robertzander9723 Generally all of the hanse cities are worth a visit. Lübeck, Wismar, Stralsund, Hamburg, Greifswald, Rostock. They all have beautiful old towns and port districts
Hi ya what a beautiful places I love to go there so much to see I can't wait to learn Germany so I can have the full experience with German people and I love to paint the landscape in oil what beautiful places .
Just started watching you videos and I love them! I visit Germany a couple of times a year but would love to relocate from the uk one day. We also stay around rudesheim area and it is just stunning! We also love koblenz, the rivers are just amazing!
Aww thanks so much for your amazing comment! Made me smile 🥰❤️
@@lifeingermany_ you are more than welcome! Your videos have really helped me when I’m missing Germany ☺️
Living in Northrhine-Westphalia myself, I'm glad you mentioned the Eifel region... one of my favorite hangouts for hiking and biking.😊 Monschau is located in the far west, close to the belgian border.
Worth mentioning, that Freudenberg is literally next to the Autobahn from the Ruhrgebiet area to Frankfurt a.M. 😉 It's definitely worth a 1 hour stopover. 👍
Warst du schon am Bodensee? Den kann ich dir empfehlen für deine Tour. Da gibt es sehr viele schöne Ecken zu entdecken
Dearest Jenna, I was born and raised in Bremen, a big (proud) city in the northern part of this country. Make absolutely sure to visit the district "Schnoor"- some houses are from the 15th century.... America was still undetected at that time... do some research before visiting though. Bremen is really worth having a closer look upon.
Ohhhhhh, I’ve been! And sadly only for one day! I visited the Schnoor district - incredible! BUT I HAVE TO GO BACK! In order to really appreciate it! 🥰🥰 can’t wait to start exploring again after these lockdowns!
I love your accent the way you speak and pronounce your Deutsch... best country ever if you like history and green scenery....heaven
I am thrilled, you mention Monschau! It is one of the most beautiful places in Germany😍😍😍
Great Choice. It's hard to come to only ten places. My favorite is and will always be the Watt and its islands ;-).
The cities I really love as a nature person and I'd recommend are: Heidelberg, Passau, Baden-Baden, Marbach am Neckar
All of them are in the south, where I come from and smaller ones.
I can definitely recommend Idar-Oberstein, Mainz and Trier. Greetings from Saarland.
oh yes defi. Idar -Oberstein if i look out ofmy window i see 2 Castles and a Church build into the Rock ...i am From I.-O.the Gemstone City
Bischt wohl ä Pälzer, hä?!?!😂
You forgot the “Saarschleife“, Grubenmuseum in Bexbach, the Roman Villas in Schwarzenbach and Perl/Nennig and finaly the big forest areas with the Fahrradrundweg(bicycle round tour)
Jenna u should really give saarland a second chance ^^ we have a lot of beautiful hiking and cycling tracks especially the Traumschleife track. The Saarbrücker Castle, the st. Wendel christmas and midevel market, the kirkeler midevelfestival, the saarlouis oldtown and the biggest Summerfest in the southwest Emmes. There are a lot of beautiful things to do, hike, cycle and get a rest at the St Johanna Market in Saarbrücken old town.
Sounds amazing 🥰 and I definitely will! Now that I have my camper, I think it’ll be an entirely different experience!!! 🤩
Viele sehen das Saarland als Industrieland, was viele nicht wissen, es ist zu fast 40% bewaldet 💕
Hello Jenna, This is another great video and I am so glad that I found y our channel. Thanks so much for the tips. I am an American that travels (PRE-COVID) to Germany at least 1-3 times a year and I love every second of it. After living in Germany for a total of six years I guess you could say that I am hooked on Germany. I love the People, Culture, Food, and of course Spaghetti Eis lol. I have been watching your great videos and I will catch up one of these days. :).
Hopefully you can continue your travels this or next year! :)
Not so far away from Rothenburg is Schwäbisch Hall and Bad Wimpfen. Definitely worth a trip.
And in the far north of Germany i could recomend Flensburg, Husum and the Frisian Islands.
And yes, you already said it, Quedlinburg - absolutely gorgeous.
I moved from NRW to Brandenburg/State over 20 years ago, to the Spreewald. You should definitely visit the Spreewald. Especially the typical places and houses are always worth a visit.
I haven’t been yet, but I’ve been meaning to for years! Question for you - summer or winter?!
@@lifeingermany_ Depends on what you like better. You can explore the Spreewald in summer or winter. From my point of view, however, it goes better in the summer.
I recommend "Insel Rügen", "Usedom" or the "Meereskundemuseum" in Stralsund, all in the north east of germany, to you to visit. And please taste a "Rollmopsbrötchen". So delicious.
Seems like you've been having a great time in this country! Rothenburg o.d.T. definately needs more visitors from the US or Canada for it's being overrun by Chinese tourists.... Freudenberg is a must see for sure - my next destination is going to be Monschau - Danke für den Hinweis!
Hi, a German here who grew up in the region of Germany you are now living in... and I do have a few nice places worth a day trip which are not to far away from Düsseldorf.
There is for example Solingen Burg, approximately 30 minute drive from Düsseldorf. The castle is also a museum. Not far from there you can continue to Solingen Gräfrath where you can find the HARIBO factory store. And if you want to turn this into a round trip you can continue from there to Wuppertal Vohwinkel and take a trip on the worlds first and oldest suspension / overhead railway build in 1901.
A little less then an hour north is Xanten, the site of an old Roman settlement turned museum.
LOVE all these tips!! I’ve also done this entire round route and it’s one of my local faves!! ♥️♥️ I haven’t actually stopped in at the factory store or the museum, so I’ll check those out next time! 😍 thanks so much!
I just say Schleswig-Holstein is missing. Lübeck, Ratzeburg, Mölln, Sylt and Helgoland. You should definitely visit this.Greetings from Schleswig-Holstein
Yes! Visit Lübeck, Mölln and Ratzeburg! But Mölln in Summer or at first weekend in November. It's a giant fall fair!. In Lower Saxony visit Lüneburg!
Who visits Heidelberg should think about a short visit in Weinheim an der Bergstraße. We have three castles and the most beautiful garden/park, called Hermannshof and a cute old town with a market place surrounded by cafés and restaurants. 15 km north of Heidelberg.
As a Ruhrie I love you for adding Zollverein to this list!
Mach im Sommer mit deine Familie mal Urlaub an der Schlei. Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Ein Tip! Gönnt Euch mal zumindest eine Nacht im Kempinski Hotel Berchdesgarden!
Eine traumhafte Lage und zum Abschluss eine Seefahrt mit Forelle Essen St. BARTOLOMÉ, ok, es ist etwas teuer, aber es lohnt sich!
Ein sehr engagiertes Video, danke Jenna! Du bist offenbar die geborene Touristik-Managerin und vllt auch Stadtführerin!
LG von der Elbe an den Rhein Ben
one of my favourite places to visit is Rothenburg ob der Tauber. If you are ever in the region again, check out Dinkelsbühl, Schwäbisch Hall, Schloss Weikersheim or Schloss Schillingsfürst with its birds of prey show.
And of course the Bodensee region, or the alps and the lakes like Tegernsee, Schliersee, Chiemsee ... it all depends if you're more outdoorsy or cultural oriented. And I know Germany isn't exactly known for it's beaches but I love the north sea coasts...or Hamburg or ....so much to see. Hope the whole Corona thing is over soon.
I was stationed near Rothenburg odt. Whenever I had statesside visitors, Rothenburg odt was always 3rd on the list of places to take family/friends after Nuremberg and Wurzburg. R.odt can be extremely packed during the peak season or near empty during the off season. As far as Garmisch-P versus Berchetsgaden, I will take Berchetsgaden. Taking the electric boat to the end of the Konigsee and then walking back towards the waterfall beats just about anyplace I have ever been. Berchetsgaden to me has 3 main attractions - Eagles Nest, the Jenner and the Konigsee.
ein Tip für dich im Norden von Deutschland , Die Friesischen Inseln .
I absolutely love north Germany - Rostock, Wahrnemünde and Rügen :)
wow, thank you so for this video!
Thanks for the video! Germany is diverse, has many faces and is more than just Munich and Oktoberfest. Many do not appreciate what they have when they open the front door. I was actually just waiting for the reference to the sponsorship by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.😀
The area around Garmisch and Mittenwald is fantastic if you are into hiking, climbing and the Alps
Loooooove hiking! And can’t wait to go back for more!
Me too....went to the Alps three times last year.Had plans for this summer but I am not confident that this will be possible
Wonderful video! I recommend Potsdam (suburbs of Berlin and residence of the German Kaiser)... Nice old town... amazing castles and palaces.
festung königsstein is also realy realy nice
Added to my post-COVID list of adventures 🥰
There is a bonus, visiting Rhine and Mosel valley: "Great Wines". When you go to Schwerin, go north to the Baltic Coast. Statically the weather is just second to the Freiburg Br. area.
For landscape photographers and hikers I can recommend Saxon Switzerland south-east of Dresden near the Czech border.
Hallo Jenna, ich schlage folgende Orte vor sich anzusehen:
Ostfriesland (Weener, Leer, Emden Norden), die ostfriesischen Inseln z.B. Borkum mit 2,5 Std. Überfahrt mit der Fähre plus Eisenbahn auf der Insel.
Insel Rügen (im Winter), dort den Königsstuhl, Sassnitz, U-Boot-Restaurant Nautilus in Neukamp bei putbus.
Stralsund (Altstadt), Rostock, Ribnitz-Damgarten (Bernstein Museum, Bernstein Manufaktur),
Kassel (Schloss Wilhelmshöhe, Park, Herkules)
So glad to see Koblenz get some love, it's been a diamond in the rough for a few years now
Ludwigsburg Castle, Märchenhaften, Marktplatz
Märchengarten
Hi
I've seen some of Travelling videos of american, asiatican and from other continents (Australia & New Sealand)
I'm geerman and I guess everyone of you missed the North sea- it's different from the south of Germany but there is atotally different look of the villages, Towns and the people whol lives there. Sorry for my bad english - but if once visted an Isle like Langeoog - you feel really calm down, no cars only the sea, the wind, the sun - if youre lucky it#s an great feeling
Siebengebirge (Petersberg, Ölberg, Drachenfels, ... tons more)
Ahrbachtal in Rheinland-Pfalz, bei der Eifel (Ahrschleife, Weinbergwerg)
rund um Vogelsang in der Eifel
Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord hat auch eine alte umfunktionierte Zeche
Love Trier, Oberammergau, Nurnberg, Leipzig, Vixhausen with its asparagus. OH there are so many Great places to visit in Germany
I wrote all of them down! Hope to travel most of them during weekends of Jan - Feb next year. Any tips of what’s the best places to travel during those months? 😍
I always say visit all the smaller towns in the winter! They’re more charming and larger cities (including My own - Düsseldorf) are sleepy towns in the winter and a little depressing 😬😝
You have to visit the Bodensee! Especially Lindau!
You haven't been to Flensburg, up in the north next to Denmark!!! I urgently recommend it! Particularly in the summer, when days are so incredibly long. And then (June, July, August) go and see the islands Amrum, Föhr and Sylt. And on thr mainland St Peter-Ording! You will be surprised about what really big beaches we have - And how beautiful
Love everything about this comment! I haven’t been to Flensburg yet! 🥰 and also none of the islands! Marking these spots on my “places to go” on Google Maps now! Thanks so much!!
Try Stralsund, Wismar, Lübeck, Potsdam, Dresden, Leipzig, Nördlingen, Regensburg, Wolfenbüttel, Lüneburg.
Dein Kanal könnte jetzt mein Liebelings auf RUclips sein und ich habe ne gute Menge Subskriptions. Es wird toll, als ich meinen Abstieg weiter in die deutsche Kultur und Deutschland starte. Das hier wird genau meine Nische. Du bist schön, spaßig und artikulierbar. Muss ich kurz erwähnen, auch würde ich gern Regensburg oder Freiburg und die kleinen Bächle besuchen. Ich hoffe aber im Norden zu leben. Ich bin nur schonmal in München, Frankfurt und Heidelberg gewesen.
1. Harz (steam railway + Brocken, the suspension bridge + Quedlinburg)
2. Garmisch-Patenkirchen (Berchtesgaden, Hitler)
3. Rothenburg ob der Tauber
4. Monschau (Eiffel-Nationalpark!, Jugendherberge in einer Burg; Weihnachtsmarkt)
5. Freudenberg (?)
6. Zeche Zollverein, Essen
7. Burg Eltz (anstatt Schloss Neuschwanstein) + Mosel Valley
8. Geyerle suspension bridge
9. Castle hopping: Middle Rhine Valley 💛
10. Schwerin
- Bodensee
- Freiburg + The Black Forest
baden württemberg the whole bodensee area konstanz,überlingen,unteruhldingen(with its stonage village) use the camping site "klausenhorn" and bring anti mosquito spray and enjoy!
I think you should once go to the coast of north sea and the Baltic sea. There are many different places where you can find by yourself and where is no tourist at all. I was so surprised with everything I saw at the coasts, it's really worthy going there. Where exactly everyone may decide for himself, but if you want to visit an old viking village, should visit Haithabu. Or St. Peter Ording is a very good place to see. You see so much of the northern German history there too 😊
Thanks alot for some great tips for a German even. And
....I was born and live in Aachen. Not far from Monschau. I would say.....it never was a secret tip. Hope you bought Monschauer Senf? All the best, Alice
Well do you know the island of Neuwerk ? Neuwerk is an island who belongs to the city of Hamburg. Neuwerk is in the North sea. You can get to the island by vessel from Cuxhaven or doing a 10 km walk through the mudflats or a coach ride through the mudflats. Liebe Grüße aus Hamburg
I have never heard of it 🥰🥰🙏 sounds amazing! Thanks so much for the tip! Have added it to my wish list of places to explore in Germany!
@@lifeingermany_ Neuwerk is only 3 km² big. There are no cars allowed but tractors. On Neuwerk are living pretty less people, mostly farmers. The lighthouse of Neuwerk built in 1389 is one of the oldest building of Hamburg.
We have lived here 5 years in S. Bavaria and only done HALF of the things we want to do in a 100km radius.... and we come from Colorado... 10x more beautiful
If you love nice medieval old towns you should visit Marburg, with it‘s old town hall built in 1512 and it‘s castle on the top of the cities „Oberstadt“. When you start your trip to Marburg in Lahnstein at the Rhine river and follow the river Lahn, you will also pass some nice castles and palaces in Weilburg and Braunfels. And for all castle lovers Eisenach and the Wartburg is worth a visit, too. Following the A4 further you reach Weimar which is the city of Goethe and Schiller and also where the Bauhaus architecture and design school was founded.
WOW! Thank you so much for all of these incredible tips!! I’ve added them all to my list and hope I can visit all of these places with my camper soon!!! 🥰🤗
When you travel to Berchtesgaden area, I'd highly recommend you to spend an evening at Chiemsee lake :)
Absolutely! I live there and it's so pretty here. But please remind that it is terribly overcrowded in summer, especially during the German Summer Break at Schools. A little advice: avoid the beach bar in Übersee. The beach in Chieming is much better and less people are there. Especially on windy days you can kite at the lake, on "normal“ days it's fun to rent a pedal boat or a SUP.
@@lenastampfl9461 good morning, I get your point and yes... Beach bar is crowded... But as a local.. Get your drink from beach bar, take it a few meters and sit down and enjoy an amazing sunset with fewer people.
Or walk a few meters from Strandbad, there are some other really nice places to go for a swim! And yes, I also love Chieming, it's cool to look there for the unique stones there! :)
The probably best view over the lake you'd get from Gstadt on zhe other side of the lake.
I'm glad you like my area! :))
You pick up interesting not to crowded spots in germany.I know that you´re livving in Düsseldorf and recommand you
the village of Arcen (near Venlo) in the Netherlands for a day trip.I guess you would like it.
keep it up and stay safe.
You should visit Dresden and Leipzig some Day and also the Berchtesgaden area. ✨👍🏻
Dresden is beautiful! 🥰
Leipzig I haven’t been to yet!! Will definitely make that trip this year (if this pandemic allows)!
@@lifeingermany_ I'm a Canadian living in Leipzig with my German husband. If you ever decide to come to Leipzig during the summer, we'd be happy to show you around 😊 Leipzig is wonderful, it's really my city 💗
@@lifeingermany_ Leipzig , WGT ! (Wave-Gothic-Treffen/ Pfingsten) ! ! ! And a beautiful city !
My gosh, what a beautiful video. Have been to Rothenburg, wonderful as you described. Have you been to Lindau am bodensee, or Mainu, by Constant? There is a RUclips video that shows many beautiful towns, that were never destroyed in WW II. Rothenburg is one of them.
can't belive you didn't mention Sächsische Schweiz and all the villages there or even Dresden (close to sächsische Schweiz). Guess you haven't been there yet. But you definitely should!
Can’t wait to visit some of those in the future
Nativ, babyboomer German here I have traveled to my nation for more than two decades as a salesman and I would rate your top 10 places as a very good choice. Especially that you advise the Harz region shows that you had seen a great portion of my country. But I would (as my personal choice) advise another hill area the Taunus (Idstein or Bad Schwalbach or the Rheingau).
Ohhhh yes! I have to agree! 😍😍 Idstein is such a charming little town! Also one of my favourites! Was hard to choose just 10 hah!
I need to go back the the Taunus area again though! I was only there for a night or two a few years ago!
I live like 15 minutes away from Düsseldorf in Wuppertal, which may not be the most beautiful city, but there are a lot of cultural things you could experience and of course the Schwebebahn. But I think there are quite a few places nearby Düsseldorf you could visit, maybe even during Covid. For example the Landschaftspark in Duisburg or the Gasometer in Oberhausen (but that's probably closed in lockdown)
I love Wuppertal! And Landschaftspark and the Gasometer and even the Zollverein in Essen! I’d like to visit the Insel Hombroich soon too!
If you have never been to the coasts if Nord- and Ostsee, go ahead. I specially love the islands. In the north the lakes are also extremely beautiful but of course I'd suggest the lake of Constance and the area next to it called Hegau with a couple of old volcanic mountains, each of it with the ruin of an old castle. If you ate lucky you have a spectacular view to the lake and the Alps behind.
Of course the city of Constance is worth a visit, as much as a tour in a boat to Meersburg or even Lindau in Bavaria or Bregenz in Austria. In Bregenz there is the Seebühne, where they play an opera on a platform in the water. It was shown in one of the latest James Bond films. Take your time because in this area there are alone dozens of tiny or larger villages or towns worth visiting. Friedrichshafen with the Zeppelin and Dornier-Museum or St. Gallen in Switzerland with a stunning monastery and it's famous library. And last but not least the island of the Reichenau with the UNESCO world cultural heritage churches full of art dating back more than 1000 years. From Freiburg it's about a two hours drive. In Sumner the camping areas are overcrowded, but if you get here in spring you will have the chance to drive around between millions and millions of apple trees in flower! Breathtaking. And there are not so many tourists. But get there early, as spring comes earlier in the south than in the Düsseldorf area.
Totally agree! I recommend Rügen and Usedom and all the Kaiserbäder.
I would love to see some VLOGS from you and your family! Would you ever consider doing some videos like that? :-)
Great question! 🙃 I might start filming a few ~ especially when they’re a bit more vlog style! Otherwise my husband would be so awkward in front of the camera if I just had him sitting there 🤣🤣
@@lifeingermany_ thanks for answering!! And I look forward to more vlogs from you then, yayyy! PS: I am from Germany but lived in Oakville and Toronto for 4 years total so that is why i love your Canadian-German Videos =) You rock!
A very nice area ( a bit like the Black Forest in the southwestern end ) would be the "Bavarian Forest" ( Bayrischer Wald) in the southeastern End of Germany.
In Furth im Wald they have a Dragon festival in August with performances, theatre etc.
And if you like some recommendations on really ancient and old places, here are some in my wonderful home state Hessen:
the Grube Messel, an archaelogigal paradise where tons of fossiles and stuff still is being dug out.
the Hessenpark, a literal Museum village, where many old buildings haven been brought to and restaurated and many old and ancient professions can be seen and tried out
nearby there, there is the Saalburg, an ancient Roman castel, which is about 2000 - yes thousand - years old, which can be visited. We recommend to get a guided tour through it; they do offer family tours where the kids will have some active parts, as well.
The Grube is near Darmstadt around 40-50 km south of Frankfurt, the other two are northwest of Frankfurt and a little closer - I would say 25-30km
If you are into plants or roses more specifically, visit the Bad Nauheimer or Steinfurther Rosenfest, which will take place in 2024 next time, I guess. Several world famous rose breeders are located there and they celebrate themselves and each other with a parade, open Sundays, special festivals all around the flower rose.
Hi, I just saw your video and liked it a lot. Especially for mentioning my hometown Essen. I would like to propose you to take a tripp to the "Natinalpark Kellerwald Edersee". Taking the car it takes no more then 3 hours from Düsseldorf. And as I think you're kind if a nature lover I'am sure you will like it. Regards Dietmar
Ey, das Münsterland ist auch schön! Wasserschlösser, Radwanderwege, Stadt Münster mit dem Prinzipalmarkt, Naturparks, Viel Geschichte zum Westfälischen Frieden, Campingplätze, u.s.w
Dem ist nicht viel hinzuzufügen...sehr gute Wahl. Empfehlenswert
Biosphärenreservat Pfäzerwald mit Dahner Felsenland. Eine der schönsten Naturlandschaften Deutschlands an der Französischen Grenze. Buntsandstein Felsen und Burgen!
love this video 🥰
du hast Park und Schloss Sansoucci vergessen ;) meine ehemalige Nachbarschaft. hatte 5 min fußweg dahin
i don`t know if you need more trvelling tipps right now, but i would like to connect you with this little gem - my homeregion 'altes Land' with the wonderful city of Stade. A little maritim northern must see of Germany
for a first impression ruclips.net/video/6AmpSjR49po/видео.html
🤩😱 I just checked it out online & added it to my list of must-visits! Looks stunning! Thanks so much!!
Hey Jenna, love your video. The north doesn't seem to get mentioned. We have some gorgeous islands here in Germany that I'd recommend. I love Amrum
Where in the video do you wear your Dirndl? You look amazingly cute in it!
I have never heard of Freudenberg despite beeing a German. Must be a real secret.
My sugestion would be Tübingen south of Stuttgart and the Swabian Alb
and Kloster Bebehausen in Bebenhausen 5 minutes to the North of it.
@@jensboettiger5286 Yes, Bebenhausen is cool, ...and of course Burg Lichtenstein 15 min to the east.
Your Tipps are really interesting, but I guess they are quite random of course, and there are sooooooo many other places as beautiful and interesting as those you have shown. If you go to Germany and travel around you can't miss them because there are everywhere! 😎
I basically went through 7 years of photos and picked the ones that brought back the nicest memories! 🤗 would love some more places if you have any in mind!
Ahhh I see your tips below!! Thanks will check them out! 🙃🤗
kinda funny i havent been to Monschau yet even though im living in Aachen for few years. Guess the public transport connection is just too bad...
My personal recommandations: Teutoburger Wald (Hermannsdenkmal, Dörenther Klippen/ Hockendes Weib, Tecklenburg,....), Münster (probably better when covid is over), Hameln and Sylt (car-train experience alone is worth a visit)
As a German. It was for me more impotent when I was young 30 years ago to Travel with my Motor Cycle to foreign places like Luxemburg, Belgien. Straßburg (France) Swiss and Austria. But you are such a vivid and Beautiful young Lady, Your husband is a happy man, I guess. Ich wünsche ihnen eine schöne Zeit in Düsseldorf. Liebe Grüße aus Font de Sa Cala Mallorca. I don't like the cold weather in Germany.
I also recommand Insel Hombroich in Neuss,Schloß Dyck in Mönchengladbach and the village of Xanten.
Schloss Dyck is beautiful! And Xanten! Still have to visit Insel Hombroich but it’s on my summer list 😍
@@lifeingermany_ very nice in summertime.cool that you visited Xanten and Schloß Dyck. What about Bad Arcen in the Netherlands?
@@kraftandre5538 not yet either 😏🤗
KALKRIESE is the place to go to find the german roots.
That is the place, mostly all germans later referred to, it is the Galipoli of the Australians and the fields of Flandres or Dieppe for Canadians.
Kalkriese is the biggest ancient battlefield where the united german tribes defeated the roman empire ... Every german child learns about Hermann, the Cherusker and his career up to the battle of Teutoburger Forrest and the free german in the north fighting for independence. 6 Legions were defeated and roughly 40.000+ died with all roman innovations the roman empire had to offer.
Why do we all know about that ?
Well, it was a big defeat and the roman emperor cried out "Varus, Varus, give me my legions back" which was covered by the historians.
the major point is that the germans had prepared a trap by using their knowledge of the area and the roman military strategy + tactics ... and therefore the romans were drawn into a swamp where they could not unfold their strength.
That swamp finally lead to a conservation of all artefacts like weapons, coins, treasures, metal tools and items and even traps of bones of horses and so on.
Kalkriese is a camper site also great for kids above 7 years cause the museum offers a kids programm about culture and art and clash of civilisations in form of exchange and trade or battle.
The battle ground had been found by whoom ?
of cause a british officer ... yes, back at the end of ColdWar Osnabrück was the biggest british garrison outside UK and Major Clunn went for archealogy surveys around Kalkriese back in 1988 ...
The Sculpture honoring Hermann had been erected on a false place 100 km away by Wilhelm the emperor 100 years earlier when the battle site was unknown.
And next to the excavation site you will find a lake called Alfsee + camping site ... Where is Kalkriese?
Basically close to the Highway A1 north of Osnabrück where the highway crosses the middle canal. 4 km eastwards and you are there, on the biggest existing ancient battlefield in europe
👍all the best from Koblenz!
Where Thomas Anders lives!❤️❤️
I love Germany because of him, and now i am learning German 😍
Ich schlage die „Fränkische Schweiz“ und Bamberg, Forchheim, Bayreuth, Pottenstein, Gößweinstein, Streitberg.... vor. Und Wunsiedel (Luisenburg). Bayern besteht nicht nur aus Baiern, sondern auch aus Franken 😁und Schwaben. Und Oberpfalz 😀
I live near Rothenburg 💖
Do you know the Lahn Valley? Start at Limburg. Burg Eltz was on the old 500 DM note, but the Dome of Limburg was on the 1000 DM note. You can even have the view like at that note from the highway bridge (and the Autobahn is really a high way there). Limburg has also a station at the ICE track from Cologne to Frankfurt, but this station "Limburg-Süd" is way out of the city at the other side of the Autobahn. You have to take a bus to the city.
If you follow the winding river downstream (which you could also do by boat) you'll see many cloisters, churches and castles including the castle of Nassau (the King of Netherlands and the Grand Duke of Luxemburg are of House Nassau). Bad Ems was once of the most famous and exclusive spa towns in Germany, and in Lahnstein (founded in 369 by Romans) the Lahn discharges into the Rhine vis-a-vis of Castle Stolzenfels, some kilometers upriver from Koblenz.
Burg Eltz war auf dem 1000 DM Schein.
Nö, es war der 500er. Der 1000er hatte den Limburger Dom.
Danke, habe ich tatsächlich verwechselt.
I think Lübeck, wich is close to Schwerin should be a city that you like. Also the "Lübecker Bucht", wich is the coast of the Baltic sea. Way down in the south you gut Konstanz, with it's border to Switzerland. Konstanz is quite full of tourists in the summer, but it's a nice city and the location at the lake is great.
