I´m so looking forward to see you exploring my homecountry. greetings from Hamburg, Arne ;-)
@arnemiljes9025 We're already in Love! 😍😍
Hope you both enjoy every little moment of your trip. Gretings from Bremen in the northwest
@@thomaspaysen-delleske6394 Bremen is another one of the 4 most important Hanse towns besides Lübeck, Hamburg and Rostock in Germany. Never been there unfortunately but knowing a bit about it it's certainly worth visiting.
@@michaelburggraf2822 For sure it´s the city with the best football club of this 4.
i was stationed in Germany in the 70s, Best time of my life, great country, great food & great people
My husband had several postings to God’s county and I went too. Wonderful country- very clean country! Wonderful hard-working people - everything worked! I have so many memories, also regrets that I no longer live there! Deutschland uber alles!
I am sure you werent at places in east germany! I can really recommend Dresden and the Nature around it. And I am saying this as a bavarian.
I was stationed in Germany (BAOR) in the 1980s🇬🇧. Great country,beer, food, people..!
Especially the food, not if you're vegan, vegetarian.
@@Nico-fv1do true apart from Berlin by train i neve went to the DDR hopefully one day i shall
@@patriciabailey1937 i wouldn't recommend to use that "Deutschland über alles" ... It's the first sentence from Nazi-Germanys national hymn.
I’m British and spent over7 years living in Germany - it’s wonderful country , people, culture etc I just loved the place having lived in or visited most cities ❤️❤️
Me too! ❤
Where did you live?
My dad lived in Bavaria for a while when I was like 7 to 9 years old and I went over quite a lot to visit and now, many years later, I live in Berlin. Always felt at home in Germany.
@@andrewcoogans471 belated welcome in Germany. I was never in Berlin but it's on my to visit list that goes from the South up to North.
@@tyronevaldez-kruger5313 Berlin is ugly, dirty, criminall, with no-go areas, the shithouse of germany!!!!!
I'm German and living in south-east of Bavaria (close to Austria). Fun fact for you: We have in Germany more than 25.000 castles. If you want to visit one per day, you need more than 68 years!
Pretty nice reaction!
Hab nach diesem Komentar gesucht ,ob es schon wer erwähnt hat wieviele Burgen/Schlößer Deutschland hat :) Gruß aus der Edelstein Stadt Idar-Oberstein im Hunsrück/Rheinland-Pfalz
@@Ati-MarcusS Ich habe danach selber erst googlen müssen und war selber erstaunt! Ich wohne nur ein paar Minuten von der längsten Burg der Welt entfernt. Einmal im Jahr muss ich diese begehen ;)
@@FCBayernMuenchen1900 Burghausen, oder? Da war ich letztes Jahr mit Freunden. Allerdings nicht zum ersten Mal. Passau ist ja nicht so weit weg. Grüße aus der ebenfalls sehr schönen Dreiflüssestadt (ohne Schloss, dafür aber mit der Veste Oberhaus).
We even had way more until we lost ww1 and 2
Even in the plain northern areas are many castles, many of them in the region of Münsterland where you can find many smaller moated-castles. Many of them are museums open for visiting.
I was stationed in Germany for many years with the British Armed Forces. Some of which was spent in Bavaria. My kids climbed Zugspitz with their mum and me. Beautiful country.
Servus from Bavaria
I grew up in the village where the RAF headquarter in Germany was located for the first few years after the war- we had big british barracks over here and a british school. I feel like in retrospective it was a mistake to withdraw all the troops - a new strategic direction aiming for cultural and military exchange would´ve maybe been a small piece for a further european integration of both countries. but what do I know ;) I´m glad you had a good time in Germany and remember it positively
in the first moment I was confused. RAF (Rote Armee Fraction) was a German terror organisation. but you talking about the royal are force ;-) @@Jan-wp6ym
I took my parents to Germany for Xmas one year. They has a sleigh ride and ate reindeer for Xmas Dinner. We stayed in Bad Rothenfelde and had a look round Osnabruck and Bremen, such a gorgeous area in the North of Germany. The following year I took them on a trip to the Black Forest and we stayed in Baden Baden for two nights, played outdoor chess and strolled along the river bank. I travel to Frankfurt regularly for work and I love how beautiful Germany is. The people are so nice and welcoming. One of my favourite holiday destinations.
German here. Thanks for the "nice and welcoming people". We don´t have this (over) friendliness like other countries. But we generally are not unfriendly - but helpful. Sadly there are people against migrants - you might heared of in the news. But I´m proud of the "Never again .. is now" campaign where many thousands of people demonstrate in peace against those antisemitic people.
Bad Rothenfelde with its impressive saltworks - nice! Also Baden-Baden, very nice close to the black forest :)
Most of the german people are friendly, kind and lovely. I know this because I’m born in Germany/Bavaria, disabled (MS) and need help many times. Most of the people come to help me before I can open my mouth to ask. I think it’s the same all over the world: most of the people are nice, but the other ones, the less are louder.
Nice you have been around my hometown Osnabrück
@@TanjaLeenheer it was gorgeous and my parents were enchanted.
I'm English and myself and my wife have been to Germany numerous times - it's an absolutely beautiful country and very helpful and friendly people. ❤
so friendly words- thank you so much for that!
Thank you! You are always Welcome.
i hope you returned in time, we dont like people who over stay their visa´s...
some foreigners dont get it sometimes!
@@ArltratloStand deine Schaukel zu nah an der Wand als Kind?
I'm German and I'm always trying to discover new things for myself, but I forgot that I live in a beautiful country. Thanks for reminding me, I will explore my country more now.
The UK has castles for wars. Germany has castles for fairy tale princesses! So pretty! 😀
In my area of Germany (Ruhrgebiet) we have a lot of moated castle. There are at least 5 moated castles in a 30 km radius around my home.
I'm actually living in a german town with 3 palaces and one fortress. But to pay for that luxery, the duke bancrupted the state for a century, leading to his jewish court factor getting creative to squeeze money from the people to stabilize the finances. Leading to the nazis producing a big propaganda film about this man, saying that jews are evil since they steal all the money from the people. As always, there is so much crazy history behind everything.
Actually, the majority of Germany's castles are also functional castles built for war, they just don't tend to be shown as prominently in that sort of touristy videos because they don't look as spectacular as those younger castles that were built purely for representation.
@@chrisrudolf9839 Oh certainly. Behind most pretty exteriors is a fortress built for war.
There is a big difference between a "Schloss" and a "Burg" in German.
Burg = Fortress/Castle for war
Schloss = Noble residence for the ruler
Btw ... Schloss Neuschwanstein was the payment from Bismarcks united germany to Bavarians king Ludwig to give up his kingdom and joining the German empire.
When you love castles so much take a look on the video "this is Germany" there are drone videos of a lot of castles palaces churches and so on.
France too has quite a number of very pretty castles
von Dr.Ludwig (German)
Best video ever👍
I am German and I liked this video a lot. Germany is indeed a very beautiful country and there is so much to learn about. I'm sure you will enjoy it. I highly recommend to check out the channel "Feli from Germany". Feli was born in Munich and lives now in Cincinnati/Ohio since 2016. In her channel she talks about her life in the U.S. and all the differences between the U.S. and Germany (culture, food, daily life topics and so on). It is very interesting and entertaining. As a German, I have learned so much about the U.S.that I didn't know before. By the way, the channel is in English.
As a german i can confirm to recommend Feli from Germany she does great videos. And Feli also lives in Cincinnati Ohio so the world is very small sometimes.
We reached out to her about a year ago & never received a response
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow maybe reach out more. As she might be very busy just use every way possible, a call is ignored easily if youre busy and a Mail is read and forgotten fast. My 2 cents from working with busy businesspeople each end evey day.
Edit: Also tehre are over 20k castkes in germany, so it should be easy to find some not allready higely covered on socials. Just look on maps and have great time.
I watched some of her videos, but personally didn't really like them. I found them to be very stereotypical and not entirely accurate. Maybe it's because she is from Munich and I'm from the very north of Germany - almost Denmark - and our cultures differ quite a bit. Sending you lots of love from the baltic coast ❤ I already loved your UK-content and it's fun to see you reacting to my country now 🙂
I absolutely love Germany. I can’t wait to go back. 🇬🇧❤ 🇩🇪
Vielen Dank für die lieben Worte...thanks you so much for your loving and appreciating words...❤❤❤❤
❤ Greets from Germany
😍 welcome
Married for 20 years? That's quite an achievement, especially in our modern times. Seems you two did a lot of things right.
Thank you! We are both very lucky!
I lived in Bayern for 9 years. For me it is the most beautiful place in the world. In fact I'm returning next year permanently. Please visit Germany, you will be blown away by the diversity.
so let me say - welcome back! :)
We once went to visit Nauschwanstein Castle and actually bumped into Mikhail Gorbachev and his wife! really nice fella.
Neu Schwanstein is overrated and overrun. There are many palaces and castles in Germany that are worth seeing. In Neu Schwanstein, visitors are guided through the building every half hour. A visit to Wernigerode Castle in the Harz Mountains, for example, is much more relaxed and beautiful.
@@thorstenjaspert9394 You don't have to do the guided tour. Just go hiking around the castle. This is so beautiful.
I was there. I visited the neighbouring castle as well. Not far away is a little bountiful. The whole Alps are nice.
I can recommend checking out the Lüneburger Heide and the Harz Mountains! Middle/northern germany usually only gets a lot of love for the coastal regions, which are beautiful, but the heide is such a different and special place and the Harz is so old it's definitely worth a look and not as overrun with tourists
YES, THIS!
These places are so often overlooked! Lüneburg itself is such a beautiful place, the Heide in bloom is gorgeous, and for the people interested in the history of divided Germany, the river Elbe is very close by, it was the border between east and west Germany in this area and ferrys will bring you from one side to the other.
Also, the castle Natasha called sexy is just about one hour drive from there. 😉
I am from Hamburg and live now in Sweden but my I am always excited when my hometown is shown in videos because normally the south of Germany is shown. The south is really beautiful but the north has also some gems to visit 😊 I recommend the channel from James Bray. He was this year in Germany and posted nice videos from Germany and Hamburg! I love your reaction to the Videos you see. They are so genuine 😊
I was born in Hamburg and lived there until I was 5.5, my dad is from there and still lives there. I’ve been in England since 1993 but every time I go back it still feels like home. When I lived there I was in Landungsbrücken, but my dad has lived by the Außenalster for many years now. I also get very excited when they do north Germany especially Hamburg! I’ll have a look at the channel you’ve recommended as well.
Hälsningar till Sverige från Hamburg 😀 I was also happy to see our hometown 🥰
I came to Germany thru the army in 1983 and I loved it so much I stayed here and have never regretted my choice to stay. As for his pronouncing the German names I would give him a c- some are close but some are unrecognizeable. A good trip for you would be a river cruze on the Main river the ship cabins are very nice and you see many beautiful castles and towns. One of the best things about living in Germany is you are relatively central in Europe and can travel all thru the different countries .
We were stationed in Germany in the 80s, both my children were born in Germany.. loved it, I was there for 9 years hubby was there 13 years.. Menden sauerland our Sundays was always a walk across the Mohne dam, followed by cake and hot chocolate ( winter ) spaghettieis ( summer ) we go back each year in May for an Army reunion while the fair is on. We were permanently based due to my husband’s regiment and shared our camp with the 69th USAFAD. Made some great friends and stay in touch to this day.
Greetings, I am living just around the corner of the Sauerland and Menden.
Hello, wish I could go back and live Menden, it truly is a beautiful part of Germany.@@keyboard5494
Hello you two, if you like castles, then be sure to visit Eltz Castle near the Moselle. This castle has existed for over 900 years and has never been conquered or destroyed. It is therefore authentic and has been continuously inhabited by the owner family of the Counts of Eltz until the present day. This castle was even immortalized as a portrait on the 500 DM banknote. It is unique and, in contrast to Neuschwanstein, not a fantasy castle of a romantic King.
By the way, there are over 25,000 castles and palaces in Germany (most of them only as ruins), which is more buildings of this type than McDonald's has in restaurants worldwide... 😮
I live on the other side of the Rhine opposite Drachenburg Castle, where the stones for the construction of Cologne Cathedral were quarried. At the Drachenfels, on which the ruins of Drachenburg stand (a great vantage point over the Rhine valley and the city of Bonn to Cologne), you can still see the traces of the former quarry. On my side of the Rhine Valley there is also a quarry for the Cologne Cathedral. There is a lot of history to experience in the Rhineland. By the way, not only does Bonn host the most famous composer in the area, Ludwig van Beethoven, but it is also the birthplace of HARIBO's famous gummy bears. The inventor named them after his name and the city in which he produced them, HAns RIegel BOnn.
Watch the videos of Dr. Ludwig -That's Germany Das ist Deutschland-🇩🇪" You have everything at once.🇩🇪
Gorgeous, just so much beauty. The Black Forest looked astonishingly awesome! Hello Germany 😍
♥️♥️
Thank you and Hallo America
Hallo Heather,schöne Grüße aus Bremen/Germany.
👍🇩🇪👍
And you can literally take the train between UK and France UNDER the North Sea. YES.
Be safe Ladies and be blessed.

11:46 This is the Drachenburg (dragon castle) in the Siebengebirge (seven
mountains) one of the oldest nature reserves in western Germany. Nearby is the fourth largest city in Germany, Köln (Cologne), and the former capital of West Germany, Bonn
one should be aware not all of the pretty castles are actually historical castles. this one as well as Castle Hohenzollern, the one which caught your eye at the start of the video, were [re-]build during the 19th century. a lot of them were owned by _nouveau riche_ industry bosses wanting to impress their peers and turned to _Gothic revival_ architecture.
Its Schloss Drachenburg (Drachenburg Castle)
@@embreis2257 In this case, it's not gothic, it's historicism
@@couchi3000 it's saying gothic revival which in my understanding is a sub-stream or branch of historicism, so to me neither is wrong.
As couch alreay said it is the Schloss Drachenburg. The actual castle is further up the Mountain. But sadly it is a Ruin today
Wow wow wow ,what a stunningly beautiful country . The architecture is so beautiful and different, towns, rivers, castles and the black Forest,😮😮😮 . Definitely on top of my list of countries to visit.Looking forward to more world wide Wednesdays 👍❤️🇩🇪
Please react to "This is Germany" by Dr. Ludwig! It will blow your mind.
BTW: I'm living in Augsburg, the second oldest city in Germany (after Trier), founded by Caesar Augustus (yes, _that_ guy!) in 15 BCE.
Mainz is the second
@@ulrichprastin9416 Wrong. Mainz was founded 13/12 BCE, Augsburg 15 BCE, Trier 17 BCE. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Hello fellow Augsburger 😆
Actually the oldest city in Germany is Kempten. It is even older than the Roman cities in Germany cause it was an celtic city before the Romans came. The greek greographer Strabon noted it first as the capital of the Estionians, a celtic tribe that was conquered by the Romans in 15 bc.
@@DerHackfleischhackendeZerhacke Dann kannst du auch Manching nennen, oder wieder Augsburg, denn beide waren keltische "Hauptstädte". Aber da wird es langsam albern.
Yaaaay! Deutschland!!!! Im latvian, but considered Germany my second home. P. S. Google where Latvia is, You have a fan/subscriber from there 😊
My mother was born in a small village near Klaipėda not far away from Latvia in Lithuania back then when it was German. She told me it's very beautiful as well.
@@hansmeiser32 Latvia is on my bucket list! I look forward to visit your nice country! (Taking the ferry from Kiel... :) )
German here, 2006 my wife and I visited Riga. What a beautiful city! The people were super friendly and helpful. Every day we went to the beach of Jurmala . We loved the food and the astonishingly good beer. It means a lot when a German liked your beer! 😜
Welcome home friend. Latvia will come home very soon. No worries. 🙏❤💯
Experience the pristine beauty of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with no litter to be found anywhere, These countries are renowned for their cleanliness and are a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a refreshing and rejuvenating escape. The only problem you will have is that your time there will be too short, you will need Months NOT weeks try to give yourself as much time there as possible.
Me, a German that lived for ten years near Ruhrpott and then moved to Berlin when someone praises German cleanliness:
👀👀👀
😂😅😭
@@Philemaphobia ...the other kind of clean :)
Clean, yes.....excepted Berlin
Or Duisburg, Dortmund, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Wuppertal, Pforzheim, Mannheim, Frankfurt/Main,Chemnitz….@@manfredmuller2925
Looking forward to seeing , exploring and learning about Germany 🇩🇪 and its people along with you👍❤️
Awesome! Thank you!
I watched a video yesterday about Dresden and how it was rebuilt after the war. It’s beautiful, I’ll send it over ❤
Thanks Katy!!
Kurt Vonnegut touches on his experience in one of his novels of being a POW during the burning of Dresden. Pretty horrific. I read a autobiography of a RAAF navigator who mentioned that they just flew towards the horrific glow on the horizon. Being mostly timber gothic style buildings they dropped incendiaries to fuel the flames. No chance for the people below but it was a huge railway and logistics junction for the Nazi war effort.
@@goodshipkaraboudjan 'Slaughter House Five' is the novel you are talking about. Excellent book, historians talk about the Dresden bombing as a revenge bombing and I am not disagreeing, but Dresden had a strategic merit for being bombed.
czcams.com/video/rf6B0768bzM/video.htmlfeature=shared 🙏
I’m so incredibly excited for your videos about ‘Deutschland’. Loved this video! DANKE!xx
Thanks so much Kirsten! Germany is gorgeous 😍 We can't wait to learn about it!!
You also need to watch a video about king Ludvig the second of Bavaria: he was mad and sad, but his hobby was building castles!
I live in the black forest. From the pictures you might think that he just picked out the most beautiful spots, but I can attest to it - it's really this pretty everywhere. Tons of tiny villages that could easily earn a spot on that list. We get lots of domestic tourists and people from France visiting, but not that many international tourists. Apart from the tourism hotspots like Lake Titisee.
Evening lovely ladies , I was there in 1990 , Berlin , Hamburg and Hamelin , strikingly beautiful places , the scenery the architecture and the houses , also no litter anywhere, bought a piece of the Berlin wall back with me , looking forward to watching 👍😁 xx
As someone who lives in Freiburg (Black forest) I can’t begin to explain how much I love it!🥰So cool you’re looking into Germany now!!
A nice start to explore Germany, can´t wait that you find out more about my country. Here are some answers to your questions: The Castle at 11:58 is "Schloß Drachenburg" / "Dragoncastle Palace" in Königswinter. The "wee" Building at 15:23 is the "Elbphilharmonie", the philharmonic hall at the Elbe river. Funfact about Neuschwanstein: Once completed, the castle should have had over 200 different interior rooms, including rooms for guests and servants as well as for access and supplies. But only around 15 rooms and halls were completed and equipped. As you asked for the place where we (the germans watching) lived; I´m from Kevelaer, a small town at the Lower Rine district next to the dutch border. And if you are interested in more Germay related stuff with propper background, maby check out a chanel from a german person, living not far away from you: Feli from Germay, living in a "wee" town called Cincinnati, OH 45219 🤪
Thank you!! ❤️
Your welcome ;-)@@TheNatashaDebbieShow
Hihi, ich sehe die Drachenburg jeden Tag. Muss nur 2km zu fuss laufen. Königswinter ist ein brutal schöner Ort.
@@TheNatashaDebbieShow Greetings from another of your german fans. I live in a village nearly the city of Cuxhaven in Northwestern Germany and directly at the beautiful beaches of the north sea. If you are interested to learn more about Germany please check out the video "This is Germany" from the channel Dr. Ludwig. If you activate the subtitles in that video you can read the names of all the castles, palaces, citys and Monuments you see in the video. Thank you for your wonderful reaction! 👍
My son is going to watch today as he’s part German on his dad’s side. I’m looking forwards to this one
Looking forward to learning more about Germany with you girls! Cologne Cathedral is architecturally the most impressive building in the world in my mind.
German dad here, born in Hamburg and lived there til almost 6. Been to a few other places as well as going back to Hamburg when I can. Nice to see other people in the comments being aware of how beautiful Germany is. 😊
ive been to germany a few times is so beautiful the christmas markets are magical the countryside and landscapes are really breathtaking
Great video ladies, Germany is truly beautiful and I’m looking forward to learning more. Love ya both ❤️❤️
Lucky enough to have been to Germany its Magical
Dear Natasha, dear Debbie,
I come from Germany, have lived here since I was born and just happened to come across your great video and was touched by your friendly criticism of our country. I was also surprised and pleased by the many positive comments here about Germany. Yes, it's true, there are many beautiful places in Germany (as in every other country in the world) and yet the historical origins of such places determine how we see them with different eyes even if we are not from this country ourselves come. For example, I can very well understand how much people want to visit places like this everywhere. Of course, there are not only beautiful places in Germany and not every landscape in Germany looks as beautiful as in our state of Bavaria. But that's probably normal everywhere. The real appeal is actually getting to know the associated cultural peculiarities and people openly. For example, as a German, it would be a real dream for me to get to know a real, small American town once in my life or the differences and areas between a farmland and Salem (NY), for example. We humans everywhere have a lot that we can share with other people to amaze us. And that perhaps unites us all more than all our differences in the world.
It's all the nicer for me to have discovered your podcast here, which I immediately subscribed to in order to find out more about your life, thoughts and feelings.
With this in mind, warm greetings from Germany to all of you.

Gosh, the Rhine shots and Cologne brought back happy childhood memories 😊 I was born in Germany as my dad was in the British army so travelled a lot around the Westphalia area.
Greetings from Cologne ❤
Cologne is not really pretty
I have to say ladies. That was a great video. Germany 🇩🇪 is great. I have too say. 🥹😅🥰🙏❤️🇬🇧🇺🇸🇩🇪🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇸🇺🇸
I can recommend the Video "This is Germany" from the Channel Dr.Ludwig
I'm a belgian living in Huertgen Forest (between Aachen and Cologne) since 2008 because of my german husband ❤
There is so much history going on around here, most of it sad because of the awful battles in WW2, but the nature is beautiful and I'm very happy to live here 👍🏻
Many of the spots shown in the video, I only saw on pictures too 🫣🙈
Have to visite more around Germany 😅
One of my favourite places in the world.
I started following Adler Mannheim (hockey) around 2010 and watching games online. I've been going over for home games since 2017. Some of the best people I've met have been over in Mannheim. Folk who had never met me before and who instantly treated me like we'd been going to games together for years. Incredibly friendly and welcoming. And its only about 20 minutes away from Heidelberg - an absolutely fantastic place to visit.
I live in Heidelberg and it is beautiful. My mums family actually lives at the Black forest and my dads side in Erfurt (east Germany and beautiful city)
Congratulations on 87,000 subscribers
Thank you!
Lovely ladies , been to Germany on several occasions, it's absolutely gorgeous . 🇬🇧
So let's stand up for peace in the world so all these beauties will never be destroyed again ❤! Hello from Königswinter
Bonn is a very underrated nice City specially its the Birthplace of Beethoven 🎉
Great video, ladies! I’m a Brit who loves Germany, have learned some of the German language, and have been involved in the town twinning of the town where I used live with a German town. I too would recommend that you have a look at This is Germany by Dr Ludwig ( the newer version), and some of the other Germany videos on his channel ( easily found in the Sightseeing Compilations playlist). Would also recommend you try to listen to some other videos with better German pronunciation, as, unfortunately, while Ryan Shirley gave a lot of interesting information in his video, his German pronunciation was poor. Looking forward to seeing more of your forthcoming Germany reaction videos.
Im a german living in Denmark. The best videos about Germany, I have ever seen, maybe produced 10 years Ago, but never topped by anything else After my opinion: DEUTSCHLAND VON OBEN=seen from above three parts: city, countyside and waterwavs. You will love it!
Why I as a German was never at the Lake in the Black - Forest? - Because I life near Cologne and have the Eifel, Westerwald and a lot of Beautyful areas in front of my Housedoor. In Bicycle Distance (8mls circle) I can visit 7 Watercastles, at least 4 Castle ruins and much more 🙂
I studied in Heidelberg (30 years ago). Back then, Heidelberg was already a tourist city, but today it's almost unbearable.
Now I live in the northern Black Forest, near the border to Alsace / France. The Black Forest really is a beautiful area, especially if you love nature and forests!
Gengenbach? Offenburg? Lahr? Achern?
@@Guidoqq Hmm??
@@AP-RSI I'm just curious where you live - that's all :)
@@GuidoqqMore north... like I wrote! Near Wissembourg... 😉
I am currently studying in Heidelberg, and I wouldn't say it's unbearable at all! Sure, there are a LOT of tourists and I obviously don't know what it was like 30 years ago, but I love living here
wonderful as ever great stuf
The beautiful lake scene is at "Nonnemattweiher" (name of the lake / place). I grew up very close to that place, it's magic! When I was young I always thought it was totally normal living in a medieval town with half timbered houses and having a giant old castle towering over the valley...😅
Me also! I’m from the little but very nice and old bavarian city Passau, aka „the bavarian venice“, because the 3 rivers Donau, Inn and Ilz. Over all there is the „Veste Oberhaus“. In summer you mean that you are in Italy. It’s like holiday!
I come from franconia in the north of bavaria in Germany. The towns Bamberg, Nürnberg, Würzburg, Dinkelsbühl and Miltenberg are very beautiful, too
"Wienerschnitzel" comes from Austria and it is named after the City Wien. It is not a original Bavarien food.
And it is made from veal
Thank you for saying what I was thinking.😅
I lived in Northern Germany for nine years, 30 minutes away from the Danish border and two hours north of Hamburg, with my female German lover. (I’m bisexual) We lived on the West Coast in a city called Husum. Nearby Husum is the island of Sylt. It is a vacation paradise and features nude bathing both at beaches and at swimming pools. This video didn’t mention Bremen which is a marvelous place to visit. As everyone else has said, German food is spectacular! The food featured in Northern Germany is a “Krabben” sandwich. “Krabben” are tiny shrimp. The sandwich is delicious. And I’ll torture you by telling you that there are no better fried potatoes in the world! I miss German food greatly. Sigh. I’ve been living in Sweden for the last 26 years with my Swedish husband. I’m the 74 year old American woman who has lived in Europe for the last 35 years. Now, I am really good at preparing Mexican food with the ingredients I can buy here, but it is entirely different with German food because it’s difficult to find the ingredients - primarily the meats. And I never mastered the art of frying potatoes as they do. 😢 I really enjoy watching your reactions! Thank you for doing them. 🫶 By the way, the engaging young narrator in the video has TERRIBLE German pronunciation! 😂
I had a holiday in Southern Germany last summer. My lasting memory, civic pride. All the pedestrian areas were designed, built and maintained with imagination and quality. All the buildings were well maintained and everywhere was so clean. Even away from the tourist areas there was that pride. Little things like coming across a water feature and bronze statue in a modern residential suburb.
My Dad was stationed in Berlin in the 70's (RAF Gatow) and we did a LOT of travelling in summer and winter holidays - Oberammergau was our favourite spot (both seasons) and we've visited a couple of the places on his list - I can absolutely endorse other people's memories of Germany - it was breath-takingly beautiful
My husband was stationed in Spandau for just two short years, but we had seven years in West Germany overall. it was thirty-five years ago and if the proverbial clock could be rewound, I would pack up and book my flight- one way if permitted. 🌈
Was stationed in Germany in the 70's and loved the country, the people, food and of course the odd drink or two
The drinks are only odd at the beginning of the evening.😁
As a student, I did interail through Italy, Austria, Germany and Switzerland. As beautiful as I remember.
Those are the best Locations.
@@Ezekielepharcelis certainly was as 18 year old . Thinking of doing it again , instead of hostels , Ist class on trains and Hotels and Airbnb along the way .. Go at own speed . Beautiful, and wonderful memories ♥️
Hi you two, i loved your reaction…I am german, living in Bonn. the Castle you liked so much is the drachenburg, but that was answered earlier, i think… If you happen to be in cologne/bonn area during your visit, let me know, i used to do guided tours so i might have some Insider/local tips that might be helpful… keep up your fun content and all the best from River rhine! Sebastian 😊
I find myself agreeing with EVERYTHING Natasha says😂I would never leave,if I went into the black forest.And yes,Debbie is very beautiful ❤
Hey Ladies! I discovered ur Channel some Days ago and really appreciate how open both of u are to learn more about Germany! For myself, i am born in Poland and came with the age of 5 yrs to Germany and i am LOVING this Country! Its sooo beautiful on the Village side. U really living in peace with the nature aspecially in my Region (Trier). Here are suuper beautiful Weinberge (Wine Hills) and ancient architecture from the Roman Empire.
Greetings from Deutschland 🇩🇪❤️
What you must do is go on a river cruise; in a week you can see as many castles as anyone could want, plus forest, mountains, towns and cities up the Danube and down the Rhine .
Greetings from Germany! I live in Porta Westfalica. This landscape are in the north-west. Very nice with the "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Memorial". The formerly imperator of germany. It's the second highest memorial in Germany on top of the Weser-river and some mountains.
I stumbled upon your channel today! I’m looking forward to your upcoming videos about Germany. Greetings from the Black Forest! 🙋🏻♀️
Hello, from someone who was born in northern Germany, and now lives in southern Germany.
There is a you tube chanel meet the germans, who is hosted by a british moderator. There is sequel named roadtrip. Maybe a good start to learn one or two things about germany. Greetings from Ansbach
Very good suggestion 👌🏻
Hi there :) I am from Germany and I live in the Black Forest. My Hometown is Freiburg im Breisgau and now I live a bit more in the south directly at the Swiss border. Love that you love the Black Forest - come visit…. Here in the south of Germany you can find it all. Forest, Mountains, cities, castles. Think you will enjoy it! Great reaction! Cant wait for you exploring more of our country!
You live in a BEAUTIFUL place!! 😍
PS: I think one of the beautifulest Castles in Germany is Eltz Castle (Burg Eltz in german). Is not as big as Neuschwanstein - but it has its own charme. There are such amazing romantic pictures of the Castel. Check it out!😍
As a German i Love your Reaction so nice and surprised,😀😀
Hi ladies , hope glad to see your liking Europe , i used to live in Germany back in the 70's as my dad was in the R.A.F stationed at Bruggen which is near the Dutch border , it is a fantastic country , by the way when you come to the UK and your in the Manchester area you can get a flight to Germany which only takes 1Hr and 15 mins . I was lucky enough that while we were there we took a road trip to Italy and drove through Austria and over the mountains , OMG its stunning . Lots of love
Fun fact, Germany has more than twice as many castles as the USA has Mc Donalds, at 24.5% of the population and less than 4% of the land area. So yes, its rarely far away from some castles here, and most of our neighbours aren't far behind that either. Personally, I find historic, particularly hanseatic age, city centers more pretty even, and more enjoyable in terms of what to do certainly.
I had no idea what to expect when I stumbled upon your vlog,,but you have a good content....a lot of people have a great vlogs but you guys are accualy funny and lovable....good for you
I lived in Germany from 2008-12. It’s a great country . Germans speak very directly which can be a surprise to English speakers . In the company I worked in my boss often asked me to check his emails to ensure they were appropriate to English speakers. Germans do have a sense of humour but they prefer slapstick
😂😂and sarcasm. To call German humor dry would be to call the Sahara desert humid.😂😂😂 Greetings from a German in Hamburg.
Slapstick was and is for the olders 😂 Enjoy one of the reaction videos here on youtube about the "Heute Show". Not far away from British humor.
@@keyboard5494 as a German I’m sure you know that one of the most popular shows on German tv on New Years Eve is Dinner for One made in 1963 presented in English and 100% slapstick
@@keyboard5494 what many Germans don’t understand is English self deprecating humour. Example my German friends didn’t understand that the Fawlty Towers episode called The Germans wasn’t about the Nazis but about how the Brits show their prejudices
@@davidmcc8727 Yes, I know. Popular, but too boring for me.
There is a valley in Switzerland,with a road through it,where the source of the Rhine(flows into the North Sea),and the Danube(flows into the Black Sea) are on either side of the road,it's fascinating to realise that both these rivers end up thousands of miles apart,but start together!
11:50 That's Castle Drachenburg at Königswinter. It was build in 1882, therefore it is a very "young" castle compared to most of the medieval Castle alonge the Rhein.
Okay, as I continue watching the Video, a few more comments.
The pronunciation of the Places is not that good, so please don't learn these.
Neu-Schwanstein is beatiful from the outside, but very very dark on the inside. I did not like it that much. Instead I would like to recommend Castle Linderhof. It's small, but absolutely stuuuuuunning! From the out- and inside!
Greetings from close to Frankfurt and yes, my Hometown has it's one Castle 😛
It's weird that he didn't mention Mainau in lake Constance... an island now dedicated to being a massive park with loads of colourful flowers in the spring and summer, a greenhouse which is home to a myriad of butterflies, a castle of the later Teutonic Order, and so on. It's actually so warm that a lot of tropical plants including palmtrees grow there.
Greetings from Radolfzell Lake Constance
When you stop the video at 12:03 … this is „Drachenfeld“ near Bonn. From this view you almost see the house where I’m living. The rhine river is full of castles in this area! Greatings from Königswinter (near Bonn) 😘
As a german i just love how you react to germany. Both of you are just adoreable. Keep on going and enjoy your time here. Cant wait for more videos ☺ The castle at 12 m is Schloss Drachenburg
Another one to add to my list of must visit places. Another great video girlies ❤ xx
I just found your channel and I am already in love! It fills my heart with immense joy seeing you two reacting to the beauty that our country here has to offer. I feel sometimes we take little things like the beautiful trees and bridges etc. for granted cause they are always there for us to explore. You made me realize again how lucky I am to live in this country. Of course it is not perfect but I believe no country is! And we definitely got blessed with some of the landscapes we have for sure! :)
I was born in North-Rhine-Westphalia, which is a beautiful region in the west of Germany, known for its mining history. And some ppl think that part of Germany is dark and grey still but it really isn't. There are so much forests and greenery there, too. Now I live in Hamburg and it is such a beautiful city. You should definitely have a closer look at it. Cause eventhough they video did a good job in showing some parts of it, I feel a lot of things were missing, some things that make Hamburg the beautiful place it is!
Definitely gonna check out some of your other videos cause your positive energy is infectious. 😊
Oh and I'm totally with you: I love the mountains and castles. Yes, we have loads of them! Neuschwanstein Castle is really breathtaking. But we have soooo many more!
Greetings from Germany. I live in a small town in North Rhine-Westphalia about 40km from Cologne. Not far from me there is also an old castle from the Middle Ages called "Schloss Burg". There is a very nice museum in there. But also great views and lots of good hiking trails if anyone likes hiking.
I was fortunate enough to grow up near Nuremberg, study in Bamberg and live near the Hohenzollern Castle. Christmas market at Hohenzollern Castle is amazing and I just love Bamberg. I can only recommend visiting.
And now you should know why environmental protection is so extremely important to us in Germany...
But there are many more cities that are beautiful.
Hildesheim, Lüneburg, Goslar, Minden, they can only be found further north
Greetings from Lower Saxony
Jurgen
Hildesheim is not that pretty
@@honkytonk4465 Which city do you find pretty?
Very nice reactions! ^^ Well, I'm german and love nature just as you and just wanted to send you big greetings from germany to you! 😀
Ihr beide seit einfach Mega sympathisch.
Viele Grüße aus Berlin ❤
hi Natasha, Hi Debbie, thanks for yur Reaction, i'm from Austria - but it is very similar to germany. i love to live here and i'm very thanful for this! best wishes, Markus
Hi 👋🏻
Hey guys,
First of all, loved your reaction
I’m from Germany, living in a small village in the Black Forest, near Freiburg. Loved growing up in and around the mountains and Forrest. I’d recommend going up on mount Belchen or feldberg, the views you get on the „Rheinebene“ are breathtaking, especially on a sunny day, when you can see the Vogesen all the way over in France
I went to Austria from UK, travelling through Germany and visiting Cologne and Berchtesgaden and many other places.Both Germany and Austria are absolutely beautiful. Loved the video.
You can take a river cruise on the Danube through Hungary Slovakia Austria and Germany. The cruise boats are lovely and the stops are all in the city centres because that's how the cities grew. It's almost like being on a bus. You step off the boat and just walk a short way into the centre., so much to see, so much beautiful scenery.
Greetings from the real North of Germany. 👋😅 I am living in the district Schleswig-Flensburg nearby Denmark. We also have castles and much of history of the vikings. 😉 There is Gottorf Castle, Glücksburg Castle and the viking trading town of Haitabu (now it's a museum).
Have fun in Germany. I hope you will have a great time. 😊❤
Get smashing that like button folks if you like what you see, another fantastic reaction video from Natasha and Debbie. Wow isn't Germany absolutely beautiful. Really enjoyed that and clicked the like button❤
Thank you for that lovely trip around my ancestral home. Its exactly how I remember it. I'm half English half German, my family come from Marbach-am-neckar & I believe I may still have family there.
Marbach is worth checking out, it's beautiful and has plenty of interesting history. You may also want to check out more of the Rhine, especially around Koblenze. I have many fond memories of exploring the area as a kid with my grandparents, I think if I remember right they have the biggest wooden clock there.
Foods for you to try, maultasche, in a knorr chicken noodle soup & Sauerbraten & Spaetzle.
Enjoy learning about the best country in the world. X
That castle right at the beginning is Schloss Hohenzollern in the small town of Hechingen, about 1 hour south of Stuttgart in the country's South-West. I grew up nearby - we could see it from my parents' house 🙂
"Give me a little cabin there" is a good one. Usually Eibsee is as crowded as a shopping mall on a Saturday.
