Bavaria, Germany: Is this the MOST BEAUTIFUL Place in Europe?!

It's our first time in Germany and we are taking a road trip through Bavaria, spending 3 incredible days exploring the Bavarian Alps region. We visit the fairy tale-like Neuschwanstein Castle, hike through the stunning Leutasch Gorge, and discover the charming town of Mittenwald, with its beautiful Lüftlmalerei murals. Our final day takes us to one of Germany's tallest peaks, where we take a cable car ride up to the top with stunning views before spending the afternoon in Oberammergau. Throughout the trip, we savor regional treats like Obatzda, pretzels, and hunt for Kaiserschmarrn pancakes. From iconic castles to quaint alpine towns, natural wonders to unique architecture, we have completely fallen in love with Bavaria and can't wait to return.

If you get a chance, how about Plitvice Lakes and down to the Gulf of Kotor?

[@Sirk1966]

Linderhof Is actually my favorite of the three castles that Lüdwig II built.

The good thing about your blog is you aren't in the hyper active, beartrapping mold, so you look at stuff which us average folk are likely to do!

[@fishandchipdiaries]

Interesting name for the cable car ride.

[@andyonions7864]

The locals call themselves Wankers. I kid you not.

The American narrators didnt even realise either!

I’m a Brit and yes driving around Bavaria is simply amazing. It might even beat Devon.

[@cheryllochhead4714]

What a beautiful place its like walking in a fairytale or a living picture,Bavaria must be one of the most beautiful places in Europe,thanks for taking us on the tour virtual reality style👍🤣🤣

[@johnsmith-de9wv]

Our Regiment had a ski hut in the mountains above a lovely place called Immenstadt in Bavaria,Learning to ski was never an option for me ,two left feet, but having a good time was , One afternoon ,off duty myself and a buddy went to town and in a short space of unremembered time we were blotto, I can vaguely remembered being put to bed by a large lady ,then waking up next to my mate next morning ,needless tro say nobody ever knew of this ,but what a fantastic thing to do ,taking care of two tommies ,I hope we remembered to pay for the room

I have spent many happy holidays in Germany and Austria and these countries are a wonderful part of Europe, with many easy hiking trails. My favourite trip in Austria is from the train station at Jenbach where a small steam train takes you up into the mountains to the town of Achensee, where there is a huge mountain lake. Off the train onto a lake steamer which stops off at various landings/villages round the lake, returning to Achensee in time to get the train back to the valley. A really lovely day out (weather permitting!). Really enjoying your video, brings back memories! Almdudler, mmm!

[@rjflores438]

Intersting name for the cable car at the end of the video, Im sure many English travellers would have a chuckle at the name of the cable car taking them up to the top of Zugspitze!

[@grapesodatravels]

Oh my gosh, those views! I could sit at the mountain Café allllll day! Because my husband is a veritable child, he laughed sooo much at the gondolas! 😂

[@chantalpinsonneault1299]

Thank you so much for bringing us along. Do you have any plans to visit Eltz Castle?

[@PaulHunter1972]

Been here beautiful stay in a B&B there had over 100 options for breakfast. Most beautiful castle great memories and great reaction.

[@westernnut8407]

The two of you sitting in that huge chair with your dog. The slight flapping of the dogs ears was so endearing. What a trooper!

Its certainly a beautiful place we enjoyed the film thanks 👍

Thank you for this Video. Good Job. We visited Mittenwald Leutschklamm Castel etc. 50 years ago .. school Trip Great Memories. Greeting from North Rhine Westphalia.

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

that area has many other great place names.....

[@welshlad691]

I’ve spent most time in that area in the winter, it’s a snowy wonderland that is very beautiful. Careful up the mountains, you can get sunburned up there pretty easily on a fine day, even in winter

[@mollynoel1861]

It’s an amazing area! I grew up near there!

[@daleburroughs452]

Culture and history is a big deal to many u.s visitors but it's something many Brits take for granted. I live in Lincoln which you have visited and locals probably take for granted to the point of forgetting,that there is an almost 1000 year old castle and cathedral in the city that we walk past regularly!! Come back soon and see more !!

[@royhardy407]

So glad you made it to this beautiful area of Germany. I was very lucky to have worked in Bavaria several years ago, but have been back on holiday a couple of times. I used to drive over in my UK plated car, but driving on the wrong side of the road lol there were no problems. Are you going over the border into Austria ....well woth the trip also.

[@anniec6420]

totally agree

[@locket5312]

Found you from the Dailymail article in the uk reporting on what you miss about UK. Those things would be what I’d miss ( & back bacon) if I was in the USA. Anyway - new subscriber now & enjoying dipping into your past videos. Really need to go to Bavaria now! 😊

[@Sirk1966]

the bridge was there years before Neuschwanstein was built.

[@e.s.7272]

I can highly recommend Switzerland and South Tyrol (Italy).

[@stephenhourd4653]

You have done a great job with the pronunciations!

[@agricolaurbanus6209]

Maybe you should pay a visit to 'Burg Hohenzollern' in Baden-Württemberg, the seat of the former imperial house of Hohenzollern, ruling house of Prussia. It is a big one, in nice surroundings!

[@SNORKYMEDIA]

the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang tour continues

[@user-ri7nr5lb3y]

If you were in Garmisch you should have taken the train up to the Zugspitze. And back down with the big panorama cable car.

[@olafborkner]

You should visit Passau and the National Park in the Bavaria Woods

[@richardhargrave6082]

Its a lovely part of the world. I fully understand why the heights were terrifying, I'd be the same. I'm not sure I'd be able to walk on the grate. Its so annoying when vertigo gets you, but there is nothing you can do. I've been to Bavaria a few times with work, I keep saying I'll go back...

[@draoi99]

Very friendly people too.

[@TheMagicGeekdom]

They really are lovely.

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

@@TheMagicGeekdom Mittenwald is known for violin making and not as touristy but we would go for the day on the train.

[@matc6221]

Awesome. I had the feeling the food and drink was a little underwhelming maybe?

[@f.w.7843]

You guys remind me very much of my host family that welcomed me in my teenage years to their home in the Midwest. I love them very much and invited them to visit Germany many years later when I had the means to do it. As a German, my description of what reminds me of them in you will be stereotypical in its German honesty/rudeness my host family loved to hate: You seem so kind, openminded, appreciative and slightly overweight ;). So American in a good way. Have fun.

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

Stunning scenery? Yes i agree but just wait until you explore Switzerland.

[@andyonions7864]

It's believed that Disney modelled his castles on Neuschwanstein. Looks like you've done the Romantische Strasse. As to is this the most beautiful place in Europe, it has a call for sure. But you need to check out Austria (a few miles away) and Switzerland. They are both stunning places. Edit: The Zugspitze is the highest mountain in Germany. The summit is actually on the border with Austria. They used to stamp passports up there. Don't know if they still do. Edit2: Bayern (Bavaria) blends modern and old in a way that is unique. It is referred to as Laptop und Lederhosen (Laptops and leather shorts)

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

OMG, that is where we stay. Is there a cow rug on the floor in the living room? We have rented it twice and the laundry is in the basement. A dentist is across the street with the weirdest hours. My husband was at the NATO school in Oberammergau and we go to Garmich a lot.

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

That dentist is an emergency dentist and when we were there at Christmas he was working late on a Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Great butcher on the corner.

[@AP-RSI]

Try Black Forest! 🙂 4:10 I would probably have done the same. I'm not a fan of crowds and I'm afraid of heights. 14:15 Yes, the price is almost extortionate. I say that as a German!

[@prakashmehta5253]

can you share the details of the airbnb you stayed at?

[@fzweimueller]

Kaiserschmarrn is an Austrian dish!

[@ants80]

Come back to the UK

[@Herzschreiber]

I guess the parking machines were working, but what most Americans aren't aware of is the following: Card is not equal card! Most Americans use credit cards like American Express, Visa and so on. Most Germans do not. If a German pays with a card it is most likely what you would call a "debit card" instead of a credit card. A debit card is a card from your bank which accesses the associated bank account. So the money will not be "a loan" like with a credit card, but it will be deducted from your bank account immediately. Okay I cannot be sure if those parking machines weren't out of order, but my suspicion is, that they would have worked with such a debit card and simply are not made for credit cards. Edit: Wow, you discovered Almdudler! Yes it is an Austrian lemonade which entered the market at the end of the 50ies. And I love, love, love it. I buy it not often though...... because I know if I had it at my permanent disposal I would not drink anything else any more! (Despite coffee of course! LOL)

[@RawTopShot]

14:01 😂 if you're a Brit you'll understand.

Very glad that place didn't get bombed to hell during ww2

The dumpling are acctually not supposed to be cooked in the gulasch. Next time head it up in simmering water or cut it in round slices and fry it in a pan with butter.

Of the places I've visited it's probably Switzerland for natural beauty. Add it to the list.

Bavaria, Germany: Is this the MOST BEAUTIFUL Place in Europe -> not the only nice place in the alpes or europe, and maybe there are much more nicer outside of bavaria 😎 The "Leutascher Geisterklamm" is in Austria.

[@Pure_B]

It's nice but not the most beautiful place in Europe. Some even more beautiful places in Croatia, Slovenia, Norway, Italy, Switzerland and France.

[@user-ch9if6px6r]

The Zugspitze is beautiful but pricier during ski season. The Partnage gorge is also a great walk. It is busy there as the military has a resort in town plus the Marshall center is an American base.

[@suppleberry3863]

If you think Bavaria is beautiful, wait until you spend time in Switzerland !

[@gregorygant4242]

Bavaria is better Switzerland is nice but is a deceitful place full or thieves , crooks , stolen riches covered in sugar coated good looking scenery !

[@jdktoo]

why would bavaria be the best of germany? ridiculous.

vank. haha, I deffo would just say it the british way :D
