Baden-Württemberg is truly beautiful.

[@healingcharm]

My ancestors are predominantly from this region in Germany. I liked this video the best so far to share with my family for some insight into their heritage!

[@Billywagner22]

Mine too, it's so fascinating.

[@samimqasimi91]

I live in this beautiful state🤟

[@BLACKL1GHT]

Nett hier!

I am happy to know about these places because I am moving to Baden-Württemberg in 2 weeks. So it's good to know more about the state.

[@semmel6364]

Welcome :)

[@serkanyildirim9766]

Welcome. I'm from the 'Kurpfalz' (Schwetzingen/Mannheim/Heidelberg and surroundings)

[@glcmzr]

Do you swim in that lake?

[@TheShredartist]

I traced my father's line back to this place, I guess they were nobles and clerics back during the Holy Roman Empire, kinda hit a brick wall after Andreas Burckhardt, I. He was an elector and jurist, born in 1585, died 1633, he was born in Austria, and died in Wurttemberg. Very beautiful place, maybe someday I'll be able to visit.

[@nongyaoh6226]

Stuttgart City is beautiful and amazing or in Germany Black forest or Bodensee in the island Mainau I'm surely you will love that❤🇹🇭🇩🇪

[@Hansaman58]

Lived in Heidelberg for four years in the 1970’s. High school graduation and senior prom were at the castle. Love HD!

Awesome city ❤️

[@anasraospeeches2484]

Very Nice 👍

[@samsonamarak]

Beautiful Germany.

[@dennis12dec]

Heidelberg Castle and the town itself has a strong connection with my country the Philippines 🇵🇭 where our Poet, National Hero and Patriot Dr. Jose Rizal lived there in 1886 and in nearby Wilhelmsfeld there's a monument and a street that was named in his honor.

[@DWTravel]

That's very interesting! We didn't know.

[@imano8265]

In the opening trailer you can see "Hohenzollern" castle but then it is not even mentioned in th report.

[@tata.eisenstein]

Ich denke mir Ulm ist eine wunderschoene Stadt Baden-Wuettembergs.

[@sujithpayyanur9624]

Hi from India ⛳👍

[@tomofthailand9047]

My favorite are Meersburg und Rastatt

[@crazydrifter13]

Freiburg is perfectly situated

[@Nk12344]

Can you please name the source of these tourist numbers? I do not think that these are correct.

[@comeonwindows1104]

Come way?

[@coloradomountain]

I drove my rental Audi to the Mercedes Museum and my car was one of the few non MB cars in the parking garage.

[@TienChoihk]

If I want to stay away from tourist crowds, what are the smaller towns ?

[@natewp]

Most cities in Baden-Württemberg aren't swarming with tourists. Well spa towns are popular amongst Germans but you could try visiting cities like Tübingen

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

I think the Black Forest and Lake Constance have probably the highest density of beautiful towns and villages. Avoid towns that were destroyed in WW2. With those rules I'm sure you'll find a lot of beauty that tourists typically wouldn't see and that nobody talks about.

[@Rayan-dh9dj]

I live in badenwutenberg

[@urfavorite4306]

Hi, is it Rosensteinstraße 24 in Baden Wuttenberg?

[@_SpamMe]

Not that I dislike my home state, but on balance, I don't find any of the places mentioned particularly outstanding. Sure, if you are in the area anyway, do visit some. Or if you got a special interest - let's say in cars - sure, there's Mercedes, Porsche and the Sinsheim and Speyer museums. But if you just generally go on a holiday, eh. There's other locations I'd recommend ahead of BaWü.

[@ninototo1]

It's normal to not think of your home as interesting. I definetely recommend Baden-Württemberg though.

[@Chris-cc8vc]

Which places do you prefer?

[@_SpamMe]

@@Chris-cc8vc Well, depends on what we compare. Schwarzwald for example ... is just boring compared to the Alps. Bodensee ... any of the Norther Italian lakes. Not a fan of the cities either - that is excluding Freiburg as I've never been there. But Stuttgart is pretty ugly, and Heidelberg doesn't offer all that much and is in normal times unreasonably overrun. Depends on what you want to do which other city I'd prefer over that.

[@Chris-cc8vc]

​@@_SpamMe I think it basicaly depends on your origin. For example, there are many people from other countries who want to see Frankfurt am Main, which in my opinion, is a very ugly city. However, there are many tourists every year.

[@100985ch]

Why should you visit the Amazon? There are jungles in Africa too.

[@hierkonnteihrewerbungstehe2202]

Why was Konstanz so Little damaged during the last war?

[@DWTravel]

The Allied bomber pilots are said to have thought that the city was part of the neighboring country, Switzerland. It was just as brightly lit.. But probably it is more complicated.

[@serkanyildirim9766]

Many cities in Baden-Württemberg weren't damaged during World War 2. My history teacher at school once said that the allied bombers flew over the landscape and were so amazed by the beauty that they forgot to drop their bombs

[@swissarmyknife7670]

@@serkanyildirim9766 they drobed it at Schaffhausen which is a swiss city instead

Welcome to the länd

[@chrisrobert5252]

In Eupapark, disabled people are allowed to enter to watch the rides, but not to ride them. My children have a humiliating memory of this, a real nightmare !

[@DWTravel]

@Chris Robert You should inform the management about it, otherwise it won't change, don't you think?

[@chrisrobert5252]

@@DWTravel That's what we did when we left the park. And a representative of the management told us: "You should have gone to EuroDisney, they are much more attentive to minority rights. True story! Then they offered us free tickets and apologised.

I was born here 21 years ago :(

Are also arabs and turks a lot in this region? (I hope they are not)

To convince you that it is not ugly at all 😉😚

@@DWTravel Modern Art is soulless and easily made

Hey bro, mind your language. Germany is not ugly. Ugly is your mind and your narrow thinking🤔. Germany will be my in-law's home🏠.
