THIS EXISTS IN GERMANY?! - Exploring The Bastei Castle & Königstein Fortress (Road Trip Part 2)

Next stop on our German road trip: The Bastei! These beautiful rock formations in Germany were formed by thousands of years of water erosion and used to be a functioning castle. A sandstone bridge from 1851 connects the rocks formations. Then it's off to explore the stunning Königstein Fortress! 😍

You showed a mape. I cant believe it😊😊😊 was it my idea.🤔🤔🤔 4:02 an the pictures getting better 👍👍👍 cool 😊😊😊

[@michaelgrabner8977]

Your vlogs are really very enjoyable..You both are spreading very good vibes and you are very sympathic people. "Bastei" simply means "Bastion" by the way. And because you mentioned Santorini.... well the whole island was called "Thera" in ancient times...and not just the ancient town. But much later the crusaders had a toehold there while they were sailing towards the holy land to conquer it and they named the island in tribut to "Saint Irine" of Portugal (also know as "Irenea" or "Eyria") who died 653. And during the time the term "Santa Irine" became Santorini..just a little sidefact if you didn´t know yet.

[@AnnRose142]

Bastei and Festung Königstein. Exactly the two spots where I have been during our course trip. It's awesome there.

[@kohenryker6853]

I guess im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.

[@kristinnitzsche6079]

I was born and grew up in Saxon Switzerland. I miss this landscape so bad. By the way: the name of the fortress 'Königstein' means König=king and Stein=stone -> Kingstone. Most mountains there have the word "Stein" in it which means stone or rock because they look more like big stones rather than mountains.

[@lenabach4324]

Wow there are many rude comments saying something like this country is better than Germany/ France... Guys what about stopping comparing country's?! 🙄 i mean every country is beautiful in his own way and every country with its culture is special I'm german I think Germany is beautiful I love Europe but so do I with all the other country's on the word so stop saying that this country is better than this one ( especially if you have never been to that country before)

[@thepatriot8514]

Lena Bach you don’t need to explain this to fools. Never been to Deutschland but I know it must be wonderful.

[@hederahelix4600]

Sorry you guys had bad luck with the weather. We had insanely high temperatures of up to 38°C and a bad drought this year. You can tell from all the brown fields. Germany is usually much greener. I can't imagine travelling was much fun. I love how you visit smaller places in Germany, so people can see more of the lesser known parts. Thanks for the videos.

[@lauralenau590]

Holy crap! How cool are those places? And the rock formations :O Thanks for adding to my bucket list haha I've always wanted to go to Germany. I studied German for five years, and my husband and I are also of German descent. Now I know of some cool places to visit!

[@Ari33sa]

This area is actually quite famous for its great nature and views. Some of germans biggest romantic artists drew their inspiration from it. You could for example look for art from Caspar David Friedrich and some of his landscapes are inspired by this region. It's realy great.

[@lauralenau590]

@@Ari33sa That sounds amazing! I love art, thanks 😊

[@HexenkoeniginVonAngmar]

I think you should also visit the castle Neuschwanstein. It's beautiful and I think it was a inspiration for Cinderella's castle. The castle Hohenschwangau is directly next to it, but I wasn't in that one.

Really enjoyed this episode of your traveling adventures ! I’m a German living in the United States for over 40 years and this is the first time seeing this part of Germany in a video, loved the rock formation totally cool and the old castle is very interesting. Hopefully i will get to go there one time. I’m from the city of Forchheim in the Franconia region which is a part of northern Bavaria. I think you would love seeing this area while you’re in Germany. Enjoy yourself and safe travels :)

If you get down to southern Bavaria, check out the Highline 179 near Reutte, Austria. It is a 1k suspension bridge connecting two castle ruins. Nice hike up to the bridge. Finish the day at Konigliche Kristall-Therme spa in Schwangau. From one of the upstairs pools you can see Neuschwanstein Castle shimmering in the late afternoon sun.

This place was fantastic.

We survived it even without air conditions :P Well, nice road trip and nice videos. Always happy to see people exploring "my" nice country, there are so many nice places and spot, so much culture and so much history to see. If you got time, you should visit the Alpine Regions, Lake of Constance and the Black Forest (ans Swabian Jura) as well. Or Rhineland-Palatinate as some beautiful spots as well. Pretty nice place to be! An maybe even spend a few days in Tyrol (Austria). Think you would love it! Have fun, cheers!

Hi guys I've been following your channel for a while & I love your contents! & I have just a little suggestion, maybe every time you mention a place which you're not sure how to pronounce you can put the name on the side of the screen? Because I can't tell their names (& I don't think I could even if you pronounced it correctly 😂) & it'd be so helpful for those who might want to visit the places they see in your videos in the future.

I was in this Park last year. The Czech side is better because it has the largest rock arch in Europe. I live 200 kilometres from this place, but I have a better place near my home. Trevor for several months I have wanted to persuade you to visit a similar place in Poland and the Czech Republic - near my home. There are many castles, palaces, museums and spa centres nearby. I invite you and Anna to the Table Mountains. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmm3lZermd9lpLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYOrkJtsrbasbas

There are 760 castles and palaces in Lower Silesia - south west Poland. Such numbers don't have even Loire Valley. We are trying to enter the UNESCO list. Can I get you there for free? If you want?
