    Regarding the negative reviews: Extremely popular places, like Neuschwanstein Castle, always also develop a lot of negativity. It's cool to hate on the popular thing. Neuschwanstein Castle, its surroundings and its intriguing history are incredibly unique, impressive and beautiful, I have no idea how anyone could dislike it.
    Great video as always, you two! :)

      Oh I hope you do and share with us your journey in Austria through video! I don't know how to put it into words but Germany and Austria are the countries I wanted to explore because of my ancestry. My grandparents immigrated to Canada in the early 1900s (1902 I believe) and they were from Austria ... as a little girl, my grandparents would talk about Austria and Germany and the castles. One day when I work on my ancestry through my mom's side, I would love to explore of my heritage there. Physically I can't travel, but your videos make me feel like I am there with you on your journey of exploration.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK

    My wife and I went to Neuschwanstein Castle back in the mid ‘70’s. That’s a long time ago, but it was more beautiful inside than we could have ever imagined! The tapestries, paintings, and other works of art were breathtaking. We also took some pictures, because we couldn’t help it. We sort of feel that you missed out. So next time, go inside. You’ll thank us later. 😉

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Год назад

      I'm sure it was amazing inside as well. We only had time and budget to visit one and thought Hohenschwangau would be a bit more interesting. We'll check out Neuschwanstein next time! Thanks!

    @StevenDietrich-k2w 11 месяцев назад

    Not sure why, but I ceased getting notifications that you had dropped a new video. Regardless, I resubscribed and hit the bell to get notified. I toured Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau (and Linderhof and Herrrenchiemsee) while in the military in the 1970s. What I recall of Neu. interior was that the woodwork was walnut, and that there was a foyer that had a statue (or maybe just a bust) of Ludwig. I don't recall a lot else, but my overall memory was that it was fine, but less impressive inside than the others. People expecting it to look like Versailles in France will be disappointed.

    I visited Neuschweinstein a few years ago (as part of a tour) and when we got to Marienbrucke, I thought, no way! I am so scared of heights. But I also thought, I didn’t come all this way not to capture that iconic photo. So I walked slowly out sideways, took the photo, then slowly walked sideways back off. 🤣❤️

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Год назад

      I'm not sure if there are any hours for the bridge. There are gates to the bridge, but I think they are just used to close bridge for wintry conditions. We used this website to check on the status of the bridge. www.hohenschwangau.de/en
      And yes definitely get there early. We had it to ourselves for a solid 5-10 minutes and maybe 20-30 with just a couple other people. And then the big groups started coming in

    We absolutely love this part of Germany. We took our teenager granddaughters and stayed in Fussen to see the castle. It was summer time. We walked over to the lake and rented a row boat. They had been in kayaks on lakes but never in a row boat. I nearly died laughing trying to explain to them how to row without lifting the rows out of their holders. They finally got the idea but nearly tipped us out of the boat exchanging positions. They watched your episode with me. Thank you!

      In the Airbnb they had a Roku I believe and we logged in to Netflix and watched RUclips. You are limited on Netflix to what is available for that country, but there was lots to choose from

    We went to Vietnam this summer after you guys did and now we are also planning a South Germany trip! We love following your itinerary! Do you think you need a car to get around or was public transportation easy enough? Did you have to go through Munich to get from Fussen to Garmish- Partenkirchen?

    • @sdbentrup
      @sdbentrup Год назад

      As an American living in Munich, it depends on what you're doing, but you absolutely don't need a car in Germany. If you do drive, know that gas is $6-7 gallon, parking can be difficult (especially in Munich) and German driving rules can be very different. Plus, if you want to enjoy the views, take the train or bus. If driving is your thing, then it can be very good here, but otherwise public transit is a whole other world vs. in the US. I'm car-free for 2 years and don't miss it at all.
      Füssen and Garmisch are on opposite sides of the same mountains so there is no direct route from one to the other, but you don't go back through Munich. It's about 2 hours between them. Pro tip, check out the Austrian Rail (oebb.at) because the connection through Austria is better than through Germany.

    • @AdventuresofAplusK
      @AdventuresofAplusK  Год назад

      Hi! That's awesome! We're excited for you!
      In the major cities public transportation was amazing! The train rides are remarkable on their own! You don't need a car in Munich and you don't need to go back to Munich to get between them (our train + bus to Fussen went through Austria).
      We'd recommend a car in Fussen and GaPa though! You don't technically need one if you're going to spend the majority of your time in the towns, but if you want to venture out to the other small towns having a car will be easier than relying on the public transport schedule. In Fussen we stayed a bit out of town because it was over Christmas and there wasn't much available, so with that and a reduced bus schedule, it made it tough to get around. We wish we had a car in Garmisch as well, because we would've loved to visit the neighboring towns and also popped into Austria more. This is all doable with a bus, but it will take so much more time than just driving. We were dealing with holidays and shorter days due to winter, so we had less daylight to deal with busses/trains, though.
