Our Gear:
We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go. I edit my videos on it & use it to backup my pictures and vides while we travel. It’s light and the best travel laptop on the market in my opinion.

We use Sony Alpha series cameras to film our videos. They are compact so you don’t look like a super tourist when you take great pictures and videos while you travel.

We use Manfrotto Tripods. They are compact, travel well, and honestly I would not use another tripod for my nice cameras.

Travel Plug that works in pretty much any country & has four USB ports. A must for any traveler.

Want to grab some great gear? We have used Osprey Packs for years & swear by them. Check them out here

Need some clothing for your next adventure? Patagonia has some pretty good stuff for all kinds of travelers.

I was stationed in Munich for 32 months (Dec 64-Aug 67) and I enjoyed every minute of it. Back in those days, it wasn't quite as polished as now and a hell of a lot cheaper. A liter of beer in the beerhalls was about DM 1.35 around 35 cents US. And now the very best bierhalle is gone, the Mathaser Bierstadt (beer city) It was the largest beer hall and the most fun, like being in an Oktoberfest beer tent every day. Then there were all the dance clubs in Schwabing, The Big Apple, The PN Hit House, and others, where you could see soon to be famous bands. Even Jimi Hendrix played the Big Apple. And all the jazz clubs, oh I miss those days.

Being a German living near the Dachau Concentration Camp, I cannot stress the importance of N°9 enough. Do not take your selfies and stupid duckface pictures over there. It is incredibly disrespectful and a straight insult to the people who actually had to suffer for years in this place.

I was in Munich two weeks ago with another American friend, and a friend from North Germany. I booked for September thinking I'd avoid Oktoberfest, but we were there for the first day. I usually don't care for crowded tourist traps, but it was amazingly fun. We were able to find a seat just outside a beer hall, and had an great time and made new friends. We were on a bench with Russians, Mexicans, and Germans. The fairgrounds has to hold at least 100k people who are all getting sloshed and having a blast. The countryside around Neuschwanstein is so beautiful it's absurd. We had a great time exploring the area, and had lunch just over the border in Austria. The castle tour itself is rushed, and a bit of a disappointment. Honestly the best trip I've ever had. Bavaria is such a fantastic place, and everyone is warm and friendly.

you forget my favorite part of my hometown. No matter the season there are always surfers surfing on the Eisbach

Considering you are standing at Marienhof, which has been a giant construction site for the past year and a half, this seems to be a rather old video. But great, even for me as a local :-)

Going at the end of the month! Thanks for this video and BEAUTIFUL family!!

Spent my 21st birthday in Munich. It was the best decision I've ever made. Absolutely desperate to go back!

[juliamessina]

Just got back from Germany. Loved your Germany videos! You're right; the locals we dealt with were wonderful, helpful, and just absolutely lovely!

Another great video! Thank you! I am Bavarian and living in Munich my whole life. You did a great job Wolter! We have so many wonderful Museums and many castles not far away, for example Linderhof, also from Ludwig ll and last but not least the beautiful nature. Lakes like Starnberg See, Chiemsee and not far away also the mountains. You are right here is so much to see! I Love my city and I am glad you like it too! Thanks again!😀

Stationed in Munich at Henry concern, what a beautiful city when we weren't in the field. Awm

[ThomasGeist]

Thank you for giving so much love to my hometown. You are very respectful and informative. No wonder that locals in all the places you visit love your videos. (Form a Münchner Kindl currently in North Carolina exile 😝)

Great video! Thank you for saying so many nice things about Munich & Bavaria ;D

I missed so much when I was in Munich - so close to all those places, but no smart phones in 1984

[TravelRunner]

I’m heading to Munich tomorrow, this is perfect. Thanks!

I went to Munich last week. OMG it's awesome I love it. I tried the weisswurst with the sweet mustard; all I can say is that it tasted very good indeed. Although, I ate the casing lol.
Overall, I really enjoyed the trip and looking forward to go to Munich again to see the Neuschwanstein castle.

I was shocked at how AMAZING Dallmayr is. Such an incredible variety of delicacies! I was also shocked at how hard it is to get space at an Oktoberfest table for just one person.
