HOF, Germany 🇩🇪 - 4K 60fps (UHD)

We are in Hof, Germany - a city of a bit more than 45,000 people in Upper Franconia / Bavaria. Hof was destroyed by fire in 1823. Many re-built houses feature the Biedermeyer architectural style.
Hof's elevation of 500 meters grants it a refreshing coolness, and in the 20th century, it humorously earned the nickname "the Bavarian Siberia." This was due to its proximity to communist East Germany and Czechoslovakia, which brought special subsidies until 1990. Today, tourism plays a some in Hof's local economy.
On this evening we see a quiet center, where most shops area closed and seemingly no other tourists around.
We start at the Lorenzpark in the south of the the center. We get to see much of Hof's center before we stroll along the Saale river. We our walk at the Bürgerpark Theresienstein.
Note: this walk was recorded with a limited equipment on my way back from the Camino de Santiago. Audio quality is rather poor with lots of wind noise.

Wow, thanks for featuring my home town :)

[@maryjanedoe1690]

I grew up here and I always enjoy coming back for a few days but the town has changed a lot. To me it feels like it's slowly dying out. When I was in my teens / early twenties the Altstadt was always super busy - now anytime I go there it's just empty.. What I really miss is going to Untreusee in the summer!

[@chaibay9637]

As a young man who grew up here and still lives here, i'm happy to see videos like this. Its's just sad that this city has changed in such a negative way, shops to shops are closing and people move away😢

[@rogertemple7193]

Cozy place full of tranquility 😊

[@DMH-bt2zo]

Like many other German cities, Hof suffered heavy bombardment during WWII, but unlike those German cities, Hof was destroyed so many times in a single Millennium, not just during WWII, but at least 9 times before that. But nonetheless, it’s a beautiful city. Thank you.

[@a.r.stellmacher8709]

Who really cares about that

[@DMH-bt2zo]

@@a.r.stellmacher8709 Yeah, I guess what I said is a bit pointless, but I find it interesting to know a city that has been destroyed more than twice in its history.

Hof ist die Partnerstadt der brasilianischen Stadt Caruaru, die meine Heimatstadt ist.

Ooof, I mean, compared to any Russian City for example, Hof is magnificently beautiful. But compared to other Bavarian cities, it’s probably on the bottom 3 :(

[@silviagreiner3435]

What about job their

[@poptravelorg]

Depending on qualifications you'll likely find a job in larger cities. Cost of living will also be higher, yet standard low qualification jobs like in retail or restaurants seem available in many places these days

So I just did a little stop in Hof before continuing my trip home. I 'll surely revisit Hof for a walk. Thanks for watching!
