this is a nice reminder why I am subbed to you, thank you for putting out these amazing videos

[eliemilien]

This video is a parody of itself.

Beautiful and well made nonetheless though.

[errrr_]

Moral of the video: “Be different”






another cliche

[smileysmiles]

Just a small reminder (as I am from a place very very close to Hallstatt):
DRONES ARE FORBIDDEN THERE! The pics are beautiful, but it's prohibited and offends the privacy of the people living there. Everywhere you go it's written on doors and and signs...
Please RESPECT what the people want. It's not a museum where you have no restrictions of what to make pictures of.

Ahhh mannnn. The photo spin sound with all the photos centered on the steeple. Man. What a great vid.

[dominikvereno]

As someone living in the area: It's completly comical that your alternative to Hallstatt is Bad Gastein, one of the most famous and touristy places within dozens of miles

[stalman]

It’s a conversation we have every time we go anywhere

I was like:"This dude has a voice similar to the one on Vox"

_Realisation_

[MarioKstgr]

Funfact: In China there is a nearly 100% replica of this town. Yup, they literally copied the whole city.

[several.]

This is some real hipster shit. The funniest part is he ended up in a place just as tourist-visited as Hallstatt

[pissoffIsthistaken]

I never comment.

But this epitomised how I feel about travel.

Thanks, both of you.

I am from near Hallstadt and you just spoke the words out of my mound. People are just coming here because of Instagram and the whole selfie hype. But almost no one cares about the city and its culture as well as history. And that makes me sad. Thanks for this video, fortunately there are still good people out in this world!

[ParisDakota]

This video might have actually reached peak pretentiousness.

[markuskoller]

Oh and BTW, the palce where you ended up by taking that random road, quite by accident I'm sure, has a name (Bad Gastein) and it has roughly the same amount of visitors as Hallstatt. Not a good example for the point you're trying to make. But hey, people still dig your video, so what.

[BrianVelez]

This is why I love traveling. Leaving the major areas to find the smaller and unknown. Forget it not being photogenic, but there will always remain a warm memory of these unique places.

[skimaster]

It's so hard to take this video seriously when he chooses claire de lune, literally the most cliche classical piano song ever, as his background music.

[harrydouble]

What a beautiful video.

For me, travelling has become another victim in the curse of narcissistic social media users.


Also, what a superbly produced piece. The script, sound, and the changing of pace was absolutely encapsulating.


Thanks,
Johnny.

Any fellow austrians being happy right now, because literally no one knows anything about our country?

I think another commenter said it the best
"this video is a parody of itself".
