great well-filmed video, thanks !

@13:50 - they actually do make all their own lumber by the old ways which is amazing.

R.I.P French Royalists. R.I.P gone Kingdom of France.

Nice job !

That was excellent. Thanks for sharing this with us.

The important souvenirs are your own memories. I generally don't buy kitsch. I collect tickets, take photos ...Many people also make the mistake of only visiting the big cities. In Franconia, the medium-sized cities such as Würzburg, Bamberg, Bayreuth, etc. and everything in between are particularly interesting.

The founders, Frederic and Gerrit, wants to give everyone the opportunity to see this. So, around Christmas there is always a special offer. If you can't afford the ticket, you just have to say this at the counter and you get it for free. Show me any other attraction that does this. 🙂 Greets from a Hamburg resident 🖖

Strategy for filming!! Many museums in Germany do not want people filming - Wunderland asks you to film and share the results on social media... And congrats - you managed the biggest hurdle for visitors from far away, you ordered the ticket online 👍

A great expérience. Did it loved it.

The castle was so expensive, so that the German emperor was able to bribe the Bavarian king to allow the German unification. Germany was united and the Bavarian king was able to finance his castles

Hey, the algorythm brought me to your Page with a random Video but I kokest it so much that I started from the beginning and I‘m binge watching now since yesterday 😅 I is so fun and interesting to See you guys Explore, meeting people and enjoying the moment, this for sure was the Highlight so far, the personal story and returning after decades was really great to watch and the feeling really comes across Still for some episodes to watch, looking forward to it, thank you so much for sharing 🎉🎉🎉 All the Best from Bonn, Germany

The history of the dude that build the castle makes the castle interesting. And then the reasons and stories of the paintings inside the castel ;) The mad King Ludwig the second. Its a true crime story basically.

I believe the Dungeon in the Armors Store is an actual dungeon or the entrance to one. Very common in that region. In Bayreuth were I live half the city has a dungeon beyond it with onyl a few places being able to enter the whole thing. :) My favourite Bar the Folie Douce in Bayreuth is basically in the dungeon and she has an entrance technically, but you cant go in there anymore. The brewerie has open entrances to miles of dungeon below the city PS: I will never get the Snowball Dough things :D Some people like em, but its just dough. Considering germanys great bakerys I dunno why thos became a thing

Quel plaisir de voir une famille joyeuse et pleine de bonheur!!!.

Coolest Dad

i love watching your videos :D tanks for uploading those and I hope you spent a nice time in europe

Iam pretty sure the little parade was a local "shooting club march" not sure how to translate that. Also obviously hunters in the clubs. :D Basically people shooting as a sport. It has a looooong tradition in almost every city or village. With a parade and a shooting contest. The contest usually consists of a wooden eagle up on a huge pole (at least in my region) and whoever hits the head wins or something like that. The winner will then be picked up by the parade at his home one day or so and then they go drink beers. There is also the "Schützenfest" (Shooting Fest) in a lot of places which is kinda like Octoberfest or a state fair with rides and beers and food and the marching bands of the region. Just some traditional Beerfest thing. So id guess you saw one of the marches of a shooting club :) PS: Hamburg has around 2500 Bridges which is even more than Venice and the most bridges in a city in Europe

Erfurt, Dresden, Leipzig... much nicer cities

Nice tour.

yeah, americans are addicted to bavaria. We all wear Lederhosen, drink beer, and eat Bretzeln.. NOT Pretzels! There are so many beautiful places in Germany.

Awwwe you guys have treasure❤❤

Welcome to Germany and Dinkelsbühl. Its my hometown🇩🇪

Ohne einen Großteil der Menschen, ist Deutschland ein sehr schönes Land. 🙈😅

Bavaria and the south of germany got much less destroyed than the rest of germany so it gives that vibe.

That must have been so fun!!!

Travelling forms ! ❤

You are such a great family and your videos are fun to watch. Just one thing: To avoid light flickering in indoor scenes you should set your camera fps and shutter speed to local power frequency conditions. In Germany or Europe its mostly 25 or 50 fps and 1/50 or 1/100 shutter speed (as power frequency is 50Hz) - while in the US its common to use 30/60 fps and 1/60 or 1/120 shutter speed (for 60Hz power frequency).

très bon français !!

Entrances to German castles are often coming from the right, because most men are right handed, holding their sword in the right hand, so attacking from this side means your arms hand is on the inside, which makes fighting less advantageous for the attacker.

Next trip...The Fairy Tale Road. Goes from Bremen all the way down to Bavaria and the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg. It touches any Grimm's fairy tale you can imagine and more. Rapunzel's castle? Yes! Red Riding Hood? Yes!

Der Weinort Dertingen grüßt seine Gäste. Dettingen, the place of vinyards, welcomes its guests. The old German letters are not ez to read, I know.

Little House on the Prairie OST was a nice idea.

You was there one month ago now and actually we have our winepartys Bad Timing.

2:05 Just look at this awful women gulping up her spaghetti - even my dog has got better table manners....

The "Kinderzeche Dinkelsbüühl" ("Zeche" originally meaning sth like company or joint project, here in the meaning of "communal meal" or (by the community) "paid meal") started out as school fair even before the 30 Years' war: the pupils of the Latin school were at the start of the summer break invited to a feast banquet paid by the town council. (After the 30 Years' war also the pupils of the Protestant "German school" were included since 1649.) In the 19th century the tale about the bloodless capitulation to the Swedes was linked with the tradition. According to that legend a girl prevented the plundering and pillaging of the town by begging for mercy together with a group of children.

Weinort (wine village), not "Beinet"

You did not miss the Airport, did you...?

I'm loving your enthusiasm and joy. Willkommen in Deutschland

I‘m so glad you got so lucky with the weather!

Colonel Hathi. Love it. 😄 Nice video.

great video!

I've been there so many times, at least once a year, but I've never seen it so empty

What a great video, thank you! :) I am from Hamburg and very proud of our Miniatur Wunderland and it makes me so happy how many people go there every year. You seemed so genuinely happy! Glad you had a good time. Your family seems so lovely, I hope you all have many more amazing trips like this. Danke ;)

The south German lakes are usually very deep and cold, this low temperatures prevent the water from getting algae and other microorganisms. The more blue the lakes or the river are turquoise, the colder they are. The constant flow of melt water from the Alps keeps them cold and clear.

Those tourist traps are not only for international tourists, also German tourists. Germany is also the most popular vacation destination for Germans. I knew many Germany wo holiday in Germany, just because they have dogs and transporting a dog with a plane is is a big effort. Putting the beloved dog in the rear compartment of the car and drive to a holiday location is much easier.

The blessing formula 20*C+M+B+24 - The 20 at the front is for the century, back stands for the year 2023. The small star stands for the star of Bethlehem, which the wise men from the East followed. The letters C, M and B are the abbreviation for “Christus mansionem benedicat”, i.e.: “Christ bless this house.” The three crosses stand for the triune God, i.e. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The marking is made by the so called star singer kids who go from house to house in January - a bit like Halloween in the USA, as the kids expect sweets for the blessing and a donation to a Christian project - usually they also have to sing a christian song "Nun sehet den Stern, den wir bringen" at each door. These are mostly children who are also in Christian organisations or altar kids.

We will travel on the romantic road in summer. Thanks for your video and for your joy in exploring germany.
