Correction: Hans WAS a popular name 60 years ago !! And Greta Thunberg is from Sweden and NOBODY calls their daughter Gretel anymore and not even Heidi 😁. Btw Germany has so many castles as it was made of over 300 ((!!) kingdoms and dukedoms and even bishops had their castles centuries ago before the first "unification" in 1871! Love from Southern Germany :).

A little fun fact:
Burg eltz has been continuously owned by the same family that build it (the eltz family), so for about 900 years. They still live in the castle for a part of the year (it gets really cold in the winter). It has never been destroyed (not even partially), which is really unique, if you take all the wars germany fought in the last 900 years into account.

Except Hamburg the Video is very South-focussed. The North with its beaches, fjords and coastlines is missing.

I will not stop mentioning how cute it is to see Joel in his teacher era telling Bébé Arturo about Germany and the places one has been to.

The frog king. ...
Snow White and the seven dwarfs. ...
The Bremen Town Musicians

I don't like that soooo many views are in the south! There is Stade, it was Swedish, and it shows, There is the coast of the North Sea with Deiche, Wattenmeer, there is Schleswig, , there is a Vikingmuseum, danish influence, because it was Danish once, the storms of the Noth Sea or very romantic to impress your date : a Sunset on a Hallig/Island like Sylt or coast of the North Sea.

Finally it’s a vid made from someone who was in south Germany and made a few trips to other city’s.

It’s nothing wrong with it but this list is hardly influenced by that.

You can clearly see it on his Berlin part, how can you not mention Potsdam? The only reason is, he had not the time to visit.

How can you call Frankfurt and skip Cologne? (the bones of the 3 holy kings laying beneath the Kölner Dom) And how can you avoid Aachen? How can you not talk about Siegfried „the dragonslayer“ Saga? And so on.

Anyway, I m not angry but it’s a list made from someone who didn’t visit whole Germany.

The water is so clear because
A: Europe protects the environment
B: The photographer used a polarisation filter

"All these mountains and stuff". Please call us by our names. We're Austria 🇦🇹 and Switzerland 🇨🇭 We even have trains to the mountains 😉

Talking about history... Trier (Augusta Treverorum) was founded 16 BC, so is way over 2000 years old now.
When it comes to favourite places, it depends on what kind of place you like. Hamburg is a wonderful and historic city on the North Sea coast, it is definitely worth a visit as it is among the top-2 big cities in the country (IMO those two are München and Hamburg). Go to east Germany and you can find stunningly beautiful places in the Mecklenburgische Seenplatte - lots of lakes, beautiful cities and landscape (especially in summer). But the top region IMO is the Black Forest. You simply can't go wrong in the Black Forest, a huge forest area (doh!) that has some great peaks as it extends into the Alps, lots of tradition, plenty of really pittoresque places, it's absolutely wonderful.

The turquoise coloured water is called ice water because it's directly fed from the melting snow on the Alps. It's was surreal actually seeing it for real and the water was really ice cold.

The story of "Pinokkio" was written Carlo Collodi an Italian.

All Americans show the same German corners. Try it with other videos. Explore different areas than always the same thing. I think a lot of your fans would love it :-) and it would set you apart from the others.

I'm from Cologne, the fourth oldest city in Germany...founded in 19 B.C. by the Roman Empire

[joecoolbln]

There are an estimated 25, 000 castles and palaces in Germany, which is mainly due to the many different kingdoms and principalities from which Germany emerged.

"Why is the water so clear?" Duh! It is for the beer!

[bjoernfr]

Next time you should visit cologne, nice people, thin beer and a thousand year old history! From there you could visit the castles by the rhine. Greetings from the black forest!

[Steven]

Many Places are missing as Cologne or Nürnberg or Düsseldorf or Coblenz or Passau or Lubeck and many more

[tehweh]

I must say this is the most touristy ranking I‘ve ever seen on my home country. Especially, since most places displayed here hit the Alps area. And: film any place with filter in sunshine, and even Dortmund will look pretty. Berlin is so not beautiful! 😂 On the other hand: this preserves the hidden treasures from being overrun.

@MoreJps West Germany had about 12k castles and when we reunited with East Germany they brought even more 🤭 we since have about 25k castles in Germany and I don't think we even appreciate them as much as you guys do, so thank you! 😊 Great channel, glad I found it - keep it up!
