    We discovered your channel a couple of months ago and have really enjoyed watching your travel videos. We literally just arrived back in the States after a visit to our younger son, who lives in Pressath, near Grafenwöhr and Weiden. We decided to visit Bamberg while we were there since it’s only an hour and 20 mins away, and we were well prepared because of your video. Since we only had a few hours to spare, we spent a lot of time around the old Rathaus, had lunch at Schlenkerla to try the delicious Rauchbier, stufffed onions and roasted pork shoulder--which we all enjoyed! We then took a quick peek of the Bamberg Cathedral before heading back to catch our return flight. Very impressive, and we have shared your channel with our son and he intends to go on some of your recommended hiking tours next year. Keep up the great work, we may consult if we push through with our plan to return in the summer.

    ❤ this video so much. Not fitting Bamberg in on our upcoming trip but the video does such a good job of showing what a beautiful town it is. Have been there twice before years ago and if we would have fit it in we were going to go to the castle so I was super excited you showed that. 👏👏👏 Thanks for your help on our itinerary coming up in a few weeks, I'm sure we will simplify it more once we get over there.

    You capture the charm and beauty of Bamberg in a genuine and amazing way! It was my hometown before I came to the US almost 25 years ago. I'm not lying when I say my heart has firmly remained there, as well as in Upper Franconia in general! Its beauty and deeply rooted traditions are indeed exceptional.

    How you guys don't have 50K subs I'll never know. Great feature of the Altenburg location, nice find. I have had German and Canadian rauchbier but not yet on draft. It does pack a smoky punch, sounds like the local beer from the tap can be lighter in flavour profile. Maybe In August I will find out? Loved that great Wilde Rose garden and the ceramic stein is very practical too. I find that it protects the beer from the UV rays if in the sun which can quickly produce that "skunky" smell. Look forward to the next food/drink video!

    • @NearFromHome

    I’m currently in Bamberg and am refreshing my memory with sights to see this visit. I was here only once before and definitely LOVED the Rathaus. I had the hike to the castle and Biergarten in mind when planning this trip last winter, but an ankle surgery has reduced my mobility too much for me to undertake that highlight this trip. So-today will be the Neu Residenz and Cathedral, around some beer tasting and eating local Franconia specialties. Alas, I should have scheduled at least another day here! I Bamberg! This city as well as Wuerzburg are two of my absolute favorites in Germany!

    For musicians Bamberg is also a good place to stay over night, because than you have enough time to visit one of the biggest European Music Stores and online businesses on a weekday. It‘s located in Treppendorf which is not that far from Bamberg. And beside being one of the biggest of not _the_ biggest online seller for music gear and being the biggest employer in the village of Treppendorf where employees easily outnumber citizens, they have still a store you can visit and play some instruments before you buy them. That was my favorite waste of time when I visited Bamberg regularly for business purposes. But yeah, the city of Bamberg is also very nice. 😉

    It's lovely to have a video on Bamberg. I went there briefly once in 1997, and had my handbag containing my new camera and my passport stolen while I was there. So I left very abruptly to go to Bonn and get a new one. Hence my memories are a bit - limited.

    Hi, love your videos actually going to southern Germany in June because of your videos--the German Tourism Office needs to sponsor the two of you! But a question regarding Bamberg...was planning to visit the beer garden at Altenburg but when you Google it you get that it is permanently closed?? Any info?

    • @NearFromHome
      @NearFromHome  Před 7 měsíci

      Hahaha we say this a lot. Just waiting for that big tourism sponsorship lol.
      On my end, google maps doesn't say that they are permanently closed. :O

    • @glennwaite137
      @glennwaite137 Před 6 měsíci

      You are correct. I just realized that its the indoor restaurant that's closed permanently and the beer garden is just temp closed for the winter. Much happier now! Thank you for your reply. @@NearFromHome

  • @basewood1
    @basewood1 Před 2 měsíci

    Thank you for your videos. I immediately thought about adding Bamberg to my upcoming Europe trip. Having a beer at Altenberg castle sounds magnificent. Who wouldn't like the combination of beer and castle. While Googling it, it mentions that the restaurant has permanently closed. Is that different than the brewrey? Do you know if you can still get a beer at the castle today?

    • @NearFromHome
