Sometimes i really forget how beautiful the country is i live in. Thx for reminding me of that.
Germany has never been on my radar but after seeing this it may just have to be added!
Please add it - Germany is gorgeous!!!
Come to visit Germany. We have so many different beautiful places :)
Lovely Greetz from Dresden.
@@flyingthenest ...and never forget where you come from. I visited Australia twice as a backpacker and enjoyed every day - especially the week on the Great Barrier Reef!
I dream of going to Germany one day and finally meeting my long lost half German sister
How beautiful Fritzlar is...😲
It's AMAZING!!!
Europe is beautiful
Not really. US is way more better
Let me down your statement is about as correct as is your grammar...so not the slightest.
@@bakugokatsuki908
I'm sure you NEVER were in Europe...
@@bakugokatsuki908 nice one 😂
I traveled all around the world but still love my neighbour country the most. Love from the Netherlands
Such a cute little town! We made it to Germany late last year and only had a little taste of this kind of thing in areas of Nuremberg. Now we want to go back again! - Anna
Wow Germany really gives me goosebump! And it's because of your vid too! 😍❤
Nawwwh Germany is a very special place :) Such beautiful, old villages !
Two BIG adavntages of hiring a car and going to little towns is that you get to see REAL medieval towns (that weren't destroyed in the war like the major cities) AND, because they are so little, they aren't overrun by tourists like the mentioned cities.
Though there are exeptions to this rule, the biggest exeption probably being Rothenburg ob der Tauber. ;-)
YES totally agree! Being able to have a car allows you to see so much more of the country :D Love it!
Oh man if I ever go to Germany I will definitely take a road trip and see those towns great vlog loved it
Road trip is a must in Germany - trust us!!
Melsungen is worth a try, too.
That lady is so cute and very nice on tv with her voice. I like her very much. She looks like Dutch, German Aussie origin lady.
Fritzlar is my hometown and I walk through it every day, so I don't really appreciate it anymore. You reminded me, how beautiful it actually is
there is a button on the radio to turn off traffic announcements, great video guys
haha really!?
Yep the button "TA" or whatever the german is for traffic announcements, you silly buggers :)
Flying The Nest, please do not turn it off! The next person to rent this car might not know that button and miss important traffic information! It's all about safety...
I have been to Germany a couple of times. First time I went to Koln and all the way down via Heidelberg to Freiburg. What a beautiful place. Next time I went to Berlin and then to Dresden where I stayed for my vacation. Fell in love with the city. One time a friend and me travelled with a camper to Rostock and Rugen, and then down to Prague in the Chech Republic, and from there to Munich. I was driving the whole way which was such an accomplishment as we drive on the left side in my country South Africa. Two years ago I went to Munich absolutely loved it. I love Germany, what a great country with fantastic people and good food
Hey, I’m from Germany and actually I’m from Fritzlar. I always thought my city is boring and just like other small towns in Germany. It’s pretty funny how you looked up to Fritzlar
You are such a relaxed and nice couple!
Aww thank you so much :D
It’s so interesting when Australians or English speaking people visit our home in Germany 🇩🇪 ☺️. Awesome footage like always guys. (BTW it’s called “nussecke” but you had it almost 😚 if you come south to Munich or even more south feel free to dm us so we can be your tour guide through our home. 🥨 we visited Australia this year and it was such a good time. We also filmed a bit and made some vlogs. ☺️
First: welcome to Germany.
It's nice to see, that you walk around with open eyes, heart and mouth. Each area of Germany has special regional meals, which I suggest to try.
Nußecke=nutcorner
It's a mixture of nuts, mostly hazelnuts, honey, flour, eggs and chocolate of course. That bakery you visit there has a really great selection of "Kaffeestückchen"(these are diverse kind of cookies(mostly sweet), which you eat mostly in the morning for breakfast or coffee break). My favorites are Nußecken and Granatsplitter(a mix of a lot of ingredients, which is unknown for me, it's very sweet). It exist a bunch of different recepts and you've to try a few bakeries to find your personal taste. Of you found it, you'll see, that it's an addicting "poison". Take a look on Google pictures for it, there you see different forms and ingredients.
Have much fun at your journey. I will follow your great vids
Awww thank you so much :)
I'd never visit germany evil nazi cockroach
@@flyingthenest what is the name of the song minute 2:50?
To boring
even i´m german, if never been there before. and i never sleept in this castle. so im looking forwart too see the next video. nice job, thank you. glad you like it in germany
We love it :D Where in Germany are you from :) Any places you recommend we visit next time????
Hi I´m from Hildesheim. .. The south is great, like München and Nürnberg...Rottenburg. Wiesbaden is also realy great. Now you´ve been too the east.. Saw old building and things like that. Maby I would go there, where many germans do on vacation: too the North sea. On some islands. Like "Sylt" or "Amrum" "Föhr".
"Sylt" is maby the nicest island, but unfortently some ritch people travel there an its a littel bit snobby... Its total different from the rest of germany.
Like I said, The south is beautifull with the mounthens and the huts. The North is flat, something different.
Wish you two farther a good time in germany, and in the next countrys.
@@flyingthenest Harz. If you ever come back to germany, visit the Harz, the german national park. It really feels like some archers are about to snipe you down, or chivalry is gonna stomp you down. In a positive way, its medival, calm, pure, simplistic and just pure awesome nature.
@@flyingthenest what is the name of the song at 2:50 min?
Loving this series! I have been a follower since way back. My husband is German and I am American. Love seeing you guys discover my 2nd home. :) Germany is the best!! Enjoy
Awww that is so cool :D Are you both in the US now?
Yes we both are now.
@@tracymayertravel
So you got the same combination of nationalities like us. But we´re living in North Germany going to the US frequently.
OMG!!! Thats sooo gorgeous!!!! I'm jealous
Germany is just 😍
A beautiful girl and a handsom boy and equally active vloger couple I have seen first time on you tube. There are many vloger couple but mostly just one of them active and other one less active or silent completely and viewers feel boring and stop watching them. Love u a lot guys and keep it up
Oh wow thank you so much :D
Fairy tale seems to be a running theme with these vlogs...and rightfully so. It's a feast for the eyes, but you never get full. Charming, spectacular, cute, stunning...they all seem like crude understatements. Lovely music too
Naww Scott you are so sweet :) Yepp, fairy tales is deff the theme of the trip :D
i really cant wait to head to Germany now, you guys are so inspirational!!
Ahh when are you coming back?? Germany has surprised us so much - its incredible!
Going on a roadtrip is our favourite way of travelling, too. We've been many times to the US and also discovered the beauty of France, Italy, the Netherlands, Irland and the UK by car. But we never been on a roadtrip in our own country (Germany). But as we are living right in the centre of Germany (Just an hour north of Fritzlar; in Göttingen) it is easy for us to visit nice places via daytrips. But someday we will drive the german coastline. That would be amazing. The towns in northern Germany are very special (Hanse) and all the many islands are just beautiful.
The new Things you have seen at the Houses are called "Schindeln". Under these the houses are the same "Fachwerkhaus", how this buildings are called. These Schindeln was to protekt the "weather Side" of the House. Or if someone wants to Show off that he was ritch, then it was made to the "Public Side of View" of the House. Early they was made Out of Wood in some regions, later they was made Out of "Schiefer", which is a flat Stone. These lasts for over 100 years. Mine now just start to drop down at a storm, cuz after 100 years the nails are rusty, today they use chopper nails. Its pretty nice, since u never have to paint ur wals or use protect stuff for the wood parts of the house, cuz they ptotect the house from any Rain. Btw Ur vlogs are very nice to See, even for a "native German" 😊
Even as a german I love watching your vlogs!! :)
On my bucket list 👍🏽
Yusss :D :D
Hey guys. I just hit on your channel and couldn't quite believe you've been to Trendelburg, the village where I grew up. Hope you enjoyed your stay there.
You two just make me smile.
Nawww :D
Just fyi: If you arrive at 10am, you're actually supposed to set your 'Parkscheibe' to 10:30. So you're technically allowed to park for more than 2h. Pretty neat.
The brothers Grimm (Children tales/Fairy tales), Swedish Author Astrid Lindgrens children books and Our own Hans Christian Andersens fairy Tales (Wrote themselves) is my favorite. I love the second U visit.
I think that parking thing is something we do in most of europe. Here in Sweden it’s literally everywhere.
getting invited into their house by a german is a big honour.. people dont really do that with strangers.. very lucky and a great experience!
Very Interesting,,nice towns and very clean..
Yes so clean !!!
"Ordnung muss sein!" ;)
Really enjoy your content it’s very respectful towards the culture and The People of the country your visiting. Unlike some other travel channels
You were invited into a house?! That's so cool! So fortunate to see the inside
I know - how cool was it!!!
These are very beautiful and cute places, thanks for sharing
At 4:14 you're passing a shop calling itself "Neusehland", which translates to "New _see_ land". It looks like they're selling glasses or shades. 😃
The "Nussecke" you tried at the bakery translates to "nut corner", called thus because the dough contains both finely ground and chopped hazelnuts. Some bakeries dip all the edges in chocolate, like you experienced, and some dip the two sharp-angled corners instead. It's all good. 😋
It is so great to see our beautiful country through your eyes. Great videos. thanks for that
OMG, just realised that you guys have been to my hometown Fritzlar!
can't believe I'm catching up on this video after a year!
Crazy to see all those videos of you guys travelling all over the world and then seeing you in a little place like this! The world is so small!!
You guys really make me smile. I'm from Germany but I've never seen my home like you do!
I did a similar road trip down romantic road a couple years ago! I agree... wayyyy better than just going to the big cities like Munich. I stayed overnight in a castle too!
I moved to Germany 5 years ago and this is the reason why I fell in love with this country, the country side small towns. No offence guys, all Germany is beautiful, but Hessen is the most wonderful Land of all.
Nuss means nut and Ecke means edge. The literal translation of Nussecke would therefore be nutedge or nutcorner. 😄
Ahh that makes perfect sense !! Thank you :D
Actually, _Ecke_, though etymologically related to English “edge”, has the meaning of “corner”-hence the triangular shape.
Way to tease the next episode...I’m on edge about that surprise rollercoaster! 😂
hahahaha :P
I love how you guys put germany in such a beautiful perspective! German country side is way better than the cities ❤️
How cool! definitely something we will take the kids to check out when given the chance.
This road trip would be PERFECT for kids!
Hey guys 🤗 Guten Morgen and perfect timing!!! Needed a good Vlog to enjoy before I go Guten Nacht😂😴💤 now I must watch🤓
Guten Morgen :)
Beautiful
I live germany and your Videos!
Explore Black Forest (Schwarzwald). Titisee, Furtwangen, Triberg, Hornberg, Hausach, Schiltach, Schramberg, Waldkirch, Todtnau, Todtmoos, Schluchsee, that's a few places to see.
German parking disk:
you may set the arrival time to the next half or full hour. When you arribe at 09:05 you can set the arrival time at 09:30; when you arrive at 10:35 it can be set to 11:00
Omg I am from south Germany and haven’t seen anything (a little) of na country omg there’s so thing to explore
Very beautiful video and awesome landscapes.good luck for you guys on all your trips.👍👍😃😃🚗🚙
Thank you so much Luis :)
I love Germany
Love this video guys! Great editing! And i always love your choice of music and where you end up going :D So excited to keep watching your adventures and I cannot wait until we go in September! :D 👏👏❤❤
Naww thanks Melanie really appreciate you taking the time to say that! Where in Germany are you planning on going?
Flying The Nest Awww! Of course! Thank you for taking the time to make these awesome vlogs all the time for your following! I know how much it means to me :)
Well, we are planning on visiting the U.K first in September when we will have a whole month to travel everywhere around the U.K. and also plan at least on weekend trip to Berlin and maybe see some other areas! :) Not sure exactly which weekend it will be, but we will keep you updated! :)
The tiles are called Schindeln. Basically similar to what you see on the roofs, only on the roofs they are made of burned clay, those on the facades are usually made of Schiefer (slate)
All the ones in the video are made of wood though. And you wouldn't call them Schindeln if they're were made of Schiefer.
You should go to Hanau where the "Gebrüder Grimm" were born.
See "Schloss Philippsruhe" and "Wilhelmsbad" ;-)
It's near Frankfurt and Hanau still has some old houses.
Every summer there is a fairytaile-festival in the park of Schloss Philippsruhe.
The parking disk is normal in Europe. Also the interrupting radio is just how the car radio is set up, you can turn it off 😂
i’m so excited you guys are back in europe aaaa i cant wait to watch all the new vlogs!!!!!!
We love Europe SOOOO much!!
I should visit the Rapunzel Tower. Oh, wait a moment, did that yesterday ;-)
We miss you too
We had nice, sunny weather the last 3 weeks, and now, when you arrive, its bad :(
I know, such bad timing ahha!
You you guys think that cloudy weather is a bad weather? I absolutely love cloudy weather instead of sunny
Sooo BEAUTIFUL ❤❤. How fun that fairy tale route!
Such a fun way to go on a road trip!!! So unique to germany too :D
Your videos are so much fun! So medieval people were probably shorter than we are. I guess the rooms were small because it's easier to keep a small room warm.
The Rapunzel Tower is literally in the little village next to mine. It's amazing to see you so excited about it😂
The "tils" on the houses are shingles! They can be made of slate, or wood.
This looks amazing and I'm definitely suggesting this roadtrip to my friend for our trip through Europe next year!
If you need a local guide around Fritzlar, hit me up! :)
Aww the animals aree soooooooo cuteee❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭
You can acutally put the parking discs to the next half hour. So if you arrive at 10:35, you can put it to 11 o'clock. If you arrive on 10:05, you can put it on 10:30.
So you can get a little time extra ;)
(Or you could just get back in time and put it to the new time, so you have another 2 hours for parking xD)
You are unlucky with the weather... Germany is 10 times more beautiful when the sun is shining! btw had 10 really great months in Australia. Love that country
I know!! Our first day in Germany was lovely & hot ... and then boom - winter was back haha!
What a fun video! Loved it!
- John
Short and sweet.... Liked it... Seems like u r also having a fun time ... Thnks for the trip to the Rapunzel castle... ☺️☺️😍😍😍 Pl pl show us some more... 🙏🙏🙏
More is coming :D :D
Hello, you two,
a little information from Germany :) - The doors in the old houses were so low in the medieval times that the staff bowed when entering the room. I look forward to further reports. It is as sweet as you are happy when you visit the beautiful Germany
Nice video! and so funny the thing with the Parkscheibe. I'm german and the Parkscheibe is that one thing you always have in the car :-) Never thought about it that this doesn't exist in other countries :-)
Welcome to my home area of northern Hesse, where I grew up 😁
It is nice to see people from other countries, who visit the countyside and not only the big major cities and "classical" german sightseeing spots
I think, you guys don't have time, to make a loop way. But next time, when you are in Germany, you should visit Hameln (english Hamelin), the home of the pied piper tale. You will love the houses in the city center 😊
Have a great time
Yes we couldn't make to the Hameln - next time!!!
I’ve discovered your channel like a week ago and binge watched your videos since then and your videos about germany really make me appreciate my home country more 🥰
Hey, you were in my home region. You basically circled my hometown by going to Trendelburg, Fritzlar and the Edersee. It's always interesting to see some foreigner's point of view, how beautiful it is here to be reminded by that fact. To most of us living here, all you mention is so "common". Hope you are having a good time here.
And next time you go to a bakery ask for some "Plunderteilchen"...they come in different shapes and tastes so be prepared to eat some more than just one ;)
This is so good, thank you for sharing this. I have not seen anything so good. Beautiful country, greatest place I have been too in my life
I just wanna say you guys are producing movie quality cinematics, love your videos 😁
wow thank you so so much :D
I like your hair, jess
Aww thanks Caitlin! Missing you
Your welcome. Miss you too!
Just discovered your channel, and it's so good! Looking forward to binge watching all your videos! We just sold everything and begin our journey in 2 weeks! We're still a little baby channel, but maybe we'll grow up big and strong like you guys. Safe travels!
Parkscheibe: you set it to the next half hour after the arrival time. So if you come at 11:03, you set it to 11:30. If you come at 11:34, you set it to 12:00. The maximum parking time is announced on the parking signs around. Note: do NEVER use the parking space of a supermarket if you're not shopping there. Your car might be towed away when you return.
You guys always pick up my spirits :) Back when I was missing Perth and Australia, you made heaps of videos there and now I am feeling a bit homesick and missing Germany, you also help out :D Cheers guys!!
Naww :) :)
Breathtaking scenes!-Keep it up.:-)
Hello und guten Tag nach Neuseeland 😁
You're documentery about my Homeland really brought me to tears. I'm serious. I was crying because it make me so happy and proud hearing you talking nice about Deutschland. I realized often people talking bad about Deutschland and the germans..seems to me like WE all are murderers and without sense of humor. Thank you so much for sharing your opinion about your expirience visiting Deutschland.❤️
The english speaking west knows about the world from Hollywood movies. I think Germany is literally heaven. I am from New Zealand, known as a beautiful country, but Germany's villages, forest walks and valley cycle trails are simply heavenly. Its also incredibly safe and the vast majority of people are surprisingly friendly, open and engaging. Certainly a very unique and charming country.
If we could get a T-shirt that says “That would be good with a Tea.” That would be golden 😂
When you have a chance , have a look around Hamburg and the coasts.
We have those parking disks in Northumberland. Towns like Morpeth and anlwick use them. Same with the traffic 😂
There is usually a button marked as TA - Traffic Announcement on the radio. With this button you can turn the traffic hints ON/OFF. The active TP - Traffic Programm button allows only traffic announcement stations.
I've just discovered your channel and i'm so amazed by how interesting and beautiful you share your journey :) so inspiring and i'm actually from Germany so I love to see how others see our country :) definitely subscribing!!
Magdeburg is a town from the first german Kaiser, he names Otto the First.
From the holy roman Empire of German Nations
Bootleg and Mixes - Laut Und Obszoen
Kaiser = emperor, or rather Holy Roman Emperor
Holy Roman Empire of German nations = Holy Roman Empire is the commonly used name. Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation is to my knowledge mainly used in Germany and even here the older and shorter Heiliges Römisches Reich (Holy Roman Empire) is used more commonly. 🙄
In Germany there are many more Theme roads, for example the Castle Road, the romantic Road or the "Fachwerk" Road
And due to Covid-19 I'm sitting here in front of my mac, watching the cutest australian couple roadtripping to the country I live in (Germany) and never had an idea of how beautiful it is haha. Thank you very much! Me and my boyfriend have booked New York for september this year but will probably have to cancel it because of lovley Rona and are going to travel through our own country with your tips X
Fun fact: the original german fairytales are really brutal and sometimes gorey and different to what is well known :D
You can turn the traffic news off if you want. It's an optional feature, not a rule...but most people use it because frankly, it is handy to get the traffic news.
Nussecke - Nut angular shaped would be the closest translation. Basically a Nut triangle.
This is amazing!! Definitely one to do on our list! We have sold up to head off to travel Europe soon. Kids and dog in tow! My kids would love this part! Thanks for sharing xxx
I want to point out the parking time disks can be found in several EU countries including Sweden and sometime UK
Oh wow!!! We never knew they were even in the UK!
I saw them in all Scandinavia countries (I live in Sweden) and Netherlands
lm from turkey . Since 3 day lm watching Your wlogs you both wonderfull. Go on we are following.
What a great road trip from a wonderful couple. So enjoyed your discoveries. BTW 100 K is not far away ! 😍😎👫
YAY thank you so so much guys :D
Guten Morgen Top video. 💪
