Too bad we can't all jump on space ships and head to other galaxies and planets so Eric and Alison can have earth ALL TO THEMSELVES!!!!

[@sarabale5098]

Does Eltz castle hosts weddings?

[@kiliipower355]

"Burg Eltz" is in the same family for more than 800 years and she survived all wars unscathed. Every generation has something to build. Middle Ages, Gohtik, Baroque, to find everything. That's why the castle is so neat. And if she looks familiar? She was over 30 years on the back of the 500 DM bill She is probably the model template for every knight movie

[@WanderwithAwe]

I simply love castles and cute, stone villages of Europe! I can not wait explore that continent for the next few years!

[@Schweden99]

u will enjoy it ^^

[@paulmcdonough1093]

Bamburgh castle is great I am from England there is great castles here inhabited and ruined

[@TimeturnerJ]

Pretty close to this castle, on the Moselle river, there's a town called Trier. It's Germany's oldest town, and used to be a Roman capital. Yes, you've heard that right. Roman Emperors actually had their main seat there, and in ancient times, it had the nickname "Second Rome". The town itself is ancient, and there's a lot of Roman architecture still present there today. The region is also pretty famous for its white wine, and lots of local wineries offer taste tests. Trier is beautiful, and there's lots to do and lots to see. If you're ever in the region again, you should definitely check it out!

[@hasafa9580]

Thanks for your nice comment. Wish to visit Trier, Moselle region is so beautiful!

[@jasmins9658]

Wow that's awesome! Thanks for the info! I'm planning to travel to the Mosel region next year and will definitely stop by Trier now that I know of its history

[@ynys_mon6928]

Trier is wonderful. Actually the whole of the Moselle valley is such a great place to visit that we visited twice. Burg Eltz is well worth the entry fee. We stayed in a self catering property in Enkirch called Weigut Stiftshof just outside Traben Trabach. Enkirch is a lovely medieval village. Full of character. The first year we visited we were there for the Traben Trabach wine fest. Great experience, including live music. The second year we experienced our host’s own wine fest, as he had his own vineyard (excellent wines too). He’d also organised live music.

[@tattianasalles3019]

I love the white wine of this region.

[@mansoureh]

Red dress and nice hat all are great for nice photos with the beautiful castle

[@HausvonFloof]

Wartburg Castle is one that we love to visit when we are in Germany!

[@TheJourneyest2016]

Uhhhh I am dying. Eltz castle looks amazing loved the shot to show it at first. You guys are always finding the best spots.

[@mitchventure20]

I love the details of the castle is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing guys. Enjoy traveling and keep safe. 😍👍🏽👏🏽

[@saskiapanter]

That 1st castle was like a castle in a fairytale. I kept saying wow...sooo beautiful

[@TheGlambassador]

If you are still in the area, I highly recommend Rheinstein Castle along the Rhine river. It's amazing!

[@arrunden7127]

Visited this castle summer 2016 and have to agree, it’s a fantastic place to visit. You did the right thing getting there early, as it gets very busy later in the day.

[@conanlau4091]

As soon as I saw the castle I know this will be an exceptional vlog

[@TravelingisFREEDOM]

This seems to be such a charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!

[@Freitag_XIII]

Check out the "Wartburg" in Eisenach and the "Burg Hohenzollern" in Bisingen...Those are my favourites. But you are right there are many castles and strongholds in Germany so I myself have to vistit many more of them^^

[@debbiealexander5375]

Yes!! Hohenzollern is beautiful!! I visited this past July. I also think everything in Germany is beautiful ❤️

[@hildegunstvonmythenmetz6619]

Yes, but those were built/rebuilt in the romantic period. Burg Eltz is legit

[@blabladuweier8654]

You should try the castle in Schwerin. It's just stunning, also with the lake and gardens around it

[@Pjmommy-Ph]

@@debbiealexander5375 👍👍

[@212melc]

Georgeous castles! Really looking forward to your upcoming UK vids. I went to Wales for the first time this summer and loved it. Especially the little fishing town of Tenby and walking along the Pembrokeshire coastal path - stunning views! Highly recommend it you're still in the region.

[@DesiDeutsche]

wow! that's amazing! will surely visit Burg Eltz soon. Thanks for the video.

[@jadecummings8093]

The German castle looks so old but it's amazing, reminds this in some of the movies.

[@DSP16569]

Most german Castles where re-build (or new build) in 18th, 19th century (german romantic time period) Burg Eltz is one of the few castles that is really old (12th century) and only restaurated (with respect to the existing architecture in the 19th century). It was never captured even there was a lot of conflicts in this area. It's owned since 800 years by members of the same family and was on the back side of the 500DM note de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Eltz#/media/File:500_DM_Serie3_Rueckseite.jpg

[@Sundara229]

most of those arent real or authentic castles, they didnt had any defensive purpose. You can easily tell from the lack of a real gatehouse with murder-holes, no outer ward, no crenelations and machicolations. The tiny towers also hadnt any purpose other than for the looks of it.

[@KJ-md2wj]

The walk from Moselkern to the castle through the wood and along a brook is absolutely marvellous.

[@dagda3000]

Nice. My father was born in a nearby village, so I visited Eltz and Thurant several times. Great spots.

[@nathanielstottlemyer2781]

This is probably my favorite vlog entry of yours yet. I love the German Medieval castles. Burg Eltz is at the top of my places to visit, along with Burg Abenberg, near Nuremberg. Love your channel!

[@Theendlessadventure]

So glad you enjoyed it! It was definitely one of our favorite to put together 😊 Hope you get to visit Eltz!

[@mimigrace1547]

The castle in wernigerode is beautiful! And the town makes it even more gorgeous!

[@Godownsize]

loving these castles:) :) :)

[@gevara454]

Me too I just wish I had somebody like that to travel with

[@BucketListTravellers]

Totally looks like a magical wonderland 🤩 You guys get attacked by bees heaps! They must love you! 🐝

[@Timurlane100]

Really nice episode! Your enthusiasm is infectious!

[@loretoparas7236]

That was the most favorite caste of Rick Steve in all of Europe,precisely the Burg Eltz Castle.... Greetings from the Philippines❤❤

[@scottyoder3717]

Awesome video!! Just discovered your youtube channel and i've been binge watching your videos! So glad i found your vlogs and will definately continue following your adventures!

[@brrrrbhaubhau]

I like the couple more than the video, you guys ♥️. And yes, awesome video !!!!

[@superhooch]

You guys MUST visit Rothenburg if it's not already on the agenda! It is the perfect fairytail town. It's where they filmed Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Don't miss it! PS it's a fortified town on a hill so it's almost like a massive castle

[@TallSarah77]

Oh what beautiful castles! I love watching you guys explore them and show us all around. The bees were a great comical addition, if not slightly terrorizing for you two jajaja. Well done, show us more!!

[@barbarawebster3653]

Thank you for another great video. The castle is totally amazing. Always looking forward to the next. :)

[@Pjmommy-Ph]

👍👍

[@peteocean2848]

Awesome. Liked from Alaska USA

[@williamjoos2026]

Visited this castle Sept 2019 - Great visit. For those who like castles, this is a must-see. Nice restaurant as well.

[@francesca0276]

That is a beautiful castle! I really enjoy your vlogs! I think you are both bee magnets!

[@Erika1lee]

Dunrobin castle in Scotland is absolutely breathtaking. They also have an amazing falconry show in the summer. I visited about 6 castles in Scotland and it was by far the best.

[@Shaun_Garratt]

Great video, both castles look epic. Well done on the early start, really should try that more often. Look forward to seeing what you guys get up to in the uk. Hope the weather is better than you normally experience here.

[@hansmartin3473]

In my opinion you should visit the castle of Hohenzollern in Baden-Württemberg.

[@rakischmidt7032]

And while you're at it, go see Burg Liechtenstein near Reutlingen. Small but cute

[@smokeypuppy417]

Those 2 castles were my favorite.

[@larrynivren8139]

Hohenzollern.... Wilhelm 1 ....3 .... I prefer Burgund and Chur-Cölln....

[@Lievmealone]

I wish i could meet people like you, people that are into culture and castles! Discovered your channel today and immediately gave you a sub! Love your content:)

[@DustyRusty81]

love those Castles, good video, can't wait to visit sometimes ♥

[@annabellerockne9832]

I went there a few years ago! It was so cool and your video is bringing back so many memories, thank you!

[@emreozberber4006]

Those castles are amazing ! And i love how all the bees are attacking you guys , its so funny :D

[@Theendlessadventure]

We always have a problem with bees / wasps when we go to Europe for some reason 😂🐝 They just love us over here!

[@thecassman]

The Moselle Valley is stunning. Cochem is beautiful and moving towards Koblenz and down the Rhine Valley through Boppard, St Goar, Rüdesheim. All amazing.

[@MultiTransitMan]

Stellar vlog! Loved your energy on this video. Smiles, eyes lit up, and wonderstruck!

[@Theendlessadventure]

So glad you enjoyed it! We were honestly so happy being able to finally explore this castle. We had a blast! So happy that energy came across 🙌

[@mansoureh]

This is the most beautiful castle

[@dd313car]

and this is why this castle was on the former 500 DM bill

[@timgoorman]

Ive been there last summer. Amazing!! I life close by the german border in the netherlands, and my goal is to visit as much german castles as possible.

[@canuzzi]

@@timgoorman You should visit Burg Nideggen, which is quite near to the Netherlands. It was unfortunately partly destoryed in the 16th century during a fight between the german emporer and the duke of Jülich with these new weapons - canons. But still impressive and the small town of Nideggen has still town gates in pretty good condition and nice old town. The duke of Jülich build after that a new Zitadelle and town fortification in Jülich - the first north of the alpes constructed for canons in mind with bastions. Unfortunately Jülich was very destroyed after WW2 - but the fortifications are still standing strong - which were the aim of the allied air bombings. Also the giant bridge head added to the fortifications by the french under Napoleon is in quite good condition.

[@fortunechannel9018]

Very beautiful. Thanks for sharing . 👍⭐🙏

[@zee2938]

The bee saga is making me laugh so hard! They really love you guys! I'm hoping to add this castle to our little road trip, glad you guys did a video!

[@stechuskacktus4287]

The bee attack wasn´t included in the price , it´s for free 😁🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@cjcj6945]

The castles you showed us in Germany are spectacular!🤴👸

[@Pjmommy-Ph]

👍👍

[@KacyJones]

So pretty! Thanks for sharing!

[@AlexM-WI]

My favourite castle is the " Burg Rheinstein" on the Rhine river. Easily reached by car from the Frankfurt area in under an hour

[@LizanneFox]

My kind of places to visit! Plus you get wine! Glad to hear you coming to Scotland :)

[@melissaphillips3088]

These castles vlogs are some of my favorites! Love to see more castles. 💙

[@Pjmommy-Ph]

👍👍

[@rhondagriffith9585]

We lived there in 2018 and had horrible bee issues and oppressive heat, but still loved it!! We lived near Regensburg, you would like it there too!😎

[@mariogalileo]

LOVE that you had the glass of wine the whole way up the stairs!

[@heinzi5955]

Burg Hohenzollern is definitly a must. Very beautiful. You will definitly be not alone. Because it is the Homecastle of the last dynasty of german emperor. And it is as beautiful as Castle Eltz in a same beautiful landscape but way bigger.

[@EmotionGamingRO]

i think the bees are attracted to the colors you wear :D

[@ynys_mon6928]

Also, in Spring and early summer wasps are really helpful as they kill a lot of pests that want to eat growing veggies. They only become a pest when they are ‘pensioned off’ from their colony at the end of their season.

[@Roninlord25a]

great job with the filming and the drone footage.

[@carterlink]

Very nice! I'm a castle fanatic. They fascinate me. Haven't visited too many in other countries, but many in the U.K. - If you want something romantic, you just can't beat Eilean Donan castle in Scotland. That is a must if you are in that part of the country. Bamburgh castle if you're on the N.E coast of England. That's definitely one of the most dramatic. Warwick castle is also great, because there is so much to see there, with all the artefacts and reenactments they do. Personally though, it's the ruined castles that float my boat. So much more atmospheric to me. Tintagel, which I think you've visited, is a good one.

[@jetjr1ussr]

We were there a few months ago, I was not in the best of health at the time so I limited my exploration to some inside rooms and the lower area but it is a very impressive experience. I loved the history of it. Enjoyed your exploration of it very much.

[@ynys_mon6928]

Did you know that if you swat at wasps they give off a scent that tells their mates that they’re being attacked and so more of them turn up? Love this video, we visited the Moselle valley and Eltz castle a few years back. Stayed in the village of Enkirch, just north of Traben Trabach, which has lots of medieval houses. It’s also a great area for walking, if you are into that. The Meselle valley is a big wine producing area, so lots of the towns and villages have wine festivals over the summer. Wonderful! We liked it so much we visited twice.

[@Theendlessadventure]

If that's true, that explains a lot 😸

[@linajurgensen4698]

I‘m so proud, my country has the most beautiful castles!😘🇩🇪❤️

[@jose-gr7jg]

Yes! You are so fortunate to live there, i want go but i'm so broke

[@Füchs_chen]

Burg Eltz actually got build in 800. It was planned as a manor at first and at ~1100 it was already a castle and many generations lived there. I think there were more then 35 generations living there

[@grilled4cheese1]

Leave the bees alone and they will leave you alone, I think. Great video, thanks Explorers!

[@seppi65]

Great shots of the castle. I'm amazed you've yet to be stung by bees!

[@Ginkoman2]

The Castle HOHENZOLLERN is pretty neat

[@coleman6131]

The castles are cool, but the redhead in the red dress is amazing!

[@Andrey18111]

I think Neuschwanstein is the most impressive castle in Germany. Didn't see many of Germany but I fell in love instantly.

[@Nedersasse]

Andrei Pisarciuc The Name is Neuschwanstein !🤥

[@blabladuweier8654]

You should visit the castle in Schwerin. It is stunning as well and has beautiful gardens around and is build on an island in the middle of a lake

[@sopowae2189]

I visited it some years back. Absolutely beautiful.

[@jolotschka]

Yes Mosel Castles, Mosel vine. You really discovered Germany. Even inspiring for a visit for us, germans too. Thanks.

[@patrickbrookings]

I am quite a comics lover, and my home country Belgium has seen quite a lot of great comic book writers. One of them is Roger Leloup, wit the comic book book character Yoko Tsuno. Quite a few of the albums take place in Germany, as she has a friend who is a famous organ player from Germany. And in one of the albums, the Burg Eltz castle is also featured. So it's really cool to see that you guys visited that too :) Awesome video, as always of course.

[@MrFishface1]

Love you guys, definitely the best travel vlogs on KZbin, very entertaining & very informative. That castle looks absolutely magical, if you love your castles, please visit Leeds Castle which is in Kent, England, it has been claimed to be the loveliest castle in the world & with good reason, it’s well worth a visit when you get the chance again.

[@lauralenau590]

That opening scene, though! Nice one, Eric 👏 Also, I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to your time in Wales! I met my husband there on a missions trip in Carmarthen, so I'm a little partial, but the towns are so quaint, the rolling fields, speckled with sheep, the old churches... It's all so freaking amazing! Plus, the people there are so beautifully genuine and welcoming. We visited Llansteffan Castle (c. 1100) while there; it's a really cool place with lots of great surrounding landscape for drone footage 😉 As well as some cute shops nearby.

[@Theendlessadventure]

Thanks! We're super excited to post our videos from there, we had a blast exploring the area!

[@Kalsino]

Keep up the good work with the videos because they are AMEZING. Can't wait to see the videos you are doing in Scotland because it's ours favourite country. Gå to Arthur Seat all the way up to the top and see Edinburgh Castle it's soooooooo huge and beautiful. If you guys are planing a road trip in Scotland, then visit Urquhart Castle laying next too Loch Ness really really stunning scenery and beautiful. And now you are up there visit Glencoe ohh my it's amazing place. And there are so many other places you guys need to see in Scotland.

[@DDLTex]

Thank you for sharing enjoy your trip

[@christiannikodemus]

I did the tour at Burg Eltz just a few months before this video was posted (around May 2018) and found out this castle specifically is one of the ones that have the most original structure to it, alot of other castles in Germany were reconstructed after war times. The other castle we visited was Berg Rotteln, which is much much smaller closer to Basel Switzerland near where my Oma grew up!

[@elliecercel7220]

Guys, try Neuschwanstein Castle , outside of Munich. It is the one that inspired the Disney Castle! And it is absolutely breath taking

[@abokareem7586]

I was there before 2 months it is really worth to visit, fascinating castle

[@arunkweera2738]

An amazing castles,Nice video,Thanks

[@chucklewis6838]

Okay, this time I am definitely jealous. I really enjoy the way that you mix up your vlogs. Nice outfit, Allison. I am happy to see that you guys know how to dress when abroad, a lot of young travelers don't get the "dress code" for foreign travel, you really are on top of things. Thanks for all that you do for us back at home. Windsor, the tower, and the Welch Castle ruins are a some of my favorites. Have you been to Northern Ireland or the Irish Republic yet?

[@Theendlessadventure]

Appreciate the compliments! Honestly, we have no clue what we're doing, just making it up as we go 😂 But glad we're doing it right! We have been to Northern Ireland, but still tons to see there, so we'll definitely be back there soon 👌

[@TOPTRAVELVLOG]

[@rosmariekdittmer-jerzy1044]

Thank you for showing off my favorite Castle.

[@fredk3710]

Whenever you come back to The Netherlands, I recommend visiting "De Haar" castle near Utrecht, "Muiderslot" castle near Amsterdam, royal palace "Het Loo" near Apeldoorn and "Schaloen" castle near Maastricht.

[@exblorerz4941]

@10:14 I wonder how many people of the past have looked through that crack in the wall, even more of what they had thought

[@kenlee1416]

Speaking of fairytales. Are you planning to do the ''Fairytale Route'' from Bremen to Frankfurt? Many incredibly gorgeous towns with those half-timbered houses along this route.

[@SuperKillerdreams]

I love medieval castles, but I only love ones that look exactly as they did in the medieval times when it was built, and this one shows you exactly how the castle looked back in the time when knights and kings and queens and medieval wars were going on

[@letsexploreandtravelonadis6424]

Thanks for the video. Rode my bike along some of the Mosel and visited Eltz castle.

[@GerCrusader]

I grew up in Moselkern! Used to drive to the castle by bike. You should have taken the way by foot through the forest to the castle, not by car. Its around 40 mins through the forest from Moselkern and a great hike!

[@aswler]

Another great video!

[@rayoflife102]

It's kind of like Sleeping Beauty's castle from the outside. Very majestic!

Looove this castle! I have heard so much about this amazing castle and so glad you guys went there as the first time I heard about it was through Rick Steves older video :) It is his favorite and suuuch a stunning castle - definitely one of my top castles on the list :)

[@sue22261]

So excited for your future trips!

[@manuelnobre6681]

The only one I know is the Burg Monschau, in the German part of the Ardennes Forest near the border with Belgium. Charming video.

[@scottmcmurray3233]

When you are in Scotland you guys should go to Dunottar Castle in Stonehaven! It's a ruin but it's totally stunning!

[@akay724]

That castle looks magical ! You guys mention being attached by bees but I think you mean wasps . They are definitely pesky insects who constantly annoy when eating drinking outside . I’m from the UK and we are plagued with them in the summer . 🐝

[@nathansanderson4268]

You guys should stop by Newcastle Upon Tyne, while on the way to Scotland. You won't regret it, amazing architecture and some cool events happening atm:)

[@sailormelo]

I have been to Hohenzollern, Neuschwanstein, Cochem, Schwerin, Heidelberg and Eltz Castles. Each has its own beauty. It also depends on one‘s personality. I personally love Eltz the most as it‘s the most cozy and relatable for me. It‘s still owned by the Eltz family as well.

[@Pjmommy-Ph]

👍👍

[@Rubycita]

You saved the wine 👏👏

[@fsanteira1]

WOW GUYS YOU/THE WAY AWAY AND flying the nest are almost like a copy of destination. Are you guys going to turkey too? Both of them did and flying the nest went to this castle one month ago...
