This Is Why You NEED To Visit Hallstatt | Austria's Lakeside Paradise
Переглядів 1,6 тис.2 місяці тому
Welcome to my Hallstatt VLOG, as I bring you on my experience of the incredible Lakeside town of Hallstatt, in Austria. I will be doing a day-trip by getting the train from Salzburg to Hallstatt. I travelled from Salzburg to Hallstatt by train really early in the morning. I arrived at the the UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Salzkammergut region at around 7:45AM, luckily before all the crowds ...

This country goes into the trans-gender category: Those peope identify themselves as Macedonians, but are actually Slavs speaking Bulgarian. As for the Macedonian culture, you have to visit North Greece to find out.
central arcade is stunning, i love it but there's nowt in there :D Grainger market is unmissable as well, fantastic place My advice to everyone I suggest visitinng newcastle to is 'look up', glad you highlighted it
7:26 this was definitely the highlight of the video 😂 I did not expect that
Ich mag England, genau wie in Deutschland oder im ehemaligen Preußen gibt es Backsteingotik und Fachwerkhäuser 🎉
Great video! Can I ask what time it was when you arrived? Seemed like the perfect time. I’m going to Vienna in September so will recreate your journey
Thank you! I think it was around 7:30… but in summertime you may be able to get an even earlier train, especially if travelling from Vienna! Just it may be busier that time of year, and likely a longer journey from Vienna (though I’m not too sure). Just get there as early as possible if you can! It’s truly special to have the place (almost) to yourself
How can some one be so perfect
Very handsome man indeed
Its beautiful but its NOT the most beautiful in Europe! Not even close! You will understand once you go and visit Prague or Budapest 😉
I’ve been to both, I think I’d place Cienna up both!😁 Though I haven’t been to Budapest for a while
@BenRobson123 Many different beautiful cities choose from indeed👏👏
Jewish quarter is an area I can't recommend enough in Krakow. Bars and atmosphere are brilliant
Didn’t explore that area enough really, did a little my first time in Krakow!
I love Poland and Polish people for having preserved their faith and their heritage. Protect Poland at all costs and keep migrants out! From a fellow Romanian neighbor.
It is certainly a beautiful country
Women concentration camp guards=Hitler a feminist. Hitler interesting. Yes, sent Europe into bloody world war with millions killed. During 1930s, Hitler signed animal welfare laws advanced for time in Germany & Austria. Nazis kill millions, but they're interesting men & women.
That is rather strange isn’t it! Interesting
My grandfather was a camp guard😮
😮
.
Sure mate,Im from Australia u giving me a lot of inspiration. Love ur work mate.
Thank you mate! Appreciate that :)
Just stumbled upon your channel as we are thinly of doing a road trip to Salzburg in Sept. We thought you were fabulous! Really informative and interesting. Your use of classic music was so refreshing. Keep it up.
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed the video. Have a fantastic time if you end up travelling to Salzburg!
Excellent videos of Salzburg and hallstat. Helpful information too. Can you tell me where I I get the $28 card for the day visit in Salzburg? Thank you!
Thank you! You can buy one through this link:card-webshop.feratel.com/scc01/default/?language=en#category:card OR you'll be able to buy one no problem from your accommodation or ticket offices round the city . You might some of this information helpful from their website: www.salzburg.info/en/hotels-offers/salzburg-card
Hi Ben. Scary night. Bet you were glad to get home......Dublin is expensive and can be dangerous at night. €50 for 24 hrs, including accommodation.....not a hope. I'm glad you got home safely, and I hope that you return soon, but with more money!!! 😊
Yep, very expensive. It was an interesting adventure though! I visited back in December actually and had a lovely trip
Loved the video, makes me want to go visit there.
You should!
Handsome content😍
really like your channel! I post travel content too so its nice to see. Subbed
Hi 👋🏻 Congrats 5000 subscribers, I’d like to see your traveling video more !
Thank you!🙏
Auschwitz truly is a haunting and eerie place. I went there a decade ago and you never forget how haunted the place feels.
This city will always be Breslau and part of Germany
😮
Beautiful! So glad I found you!! Thank you and can't wait to watch more of your videos!! Music was beautiful too 🌼
Really appreciate that, hope you enjoy watching the others too!☺️
Thanks bro.that 's absolutely magnificent.
Thank you!
Loved your perspective on Newcastle! The city's vibrant culture is amazing. For those who enjoy exploring local markets, the Quayside Market is a must-visit. I recently did a walk-through.
Thank you! It is a great city, thanks for the comment 😇
Lovely
The instrumental piece playing in the "wanderer" section is called "Mihriban." It is a very beautiful and important Turkish song. Given the substantial Turkish population in Macedonia, Turkish influence permeates various aspects of life there. As a Turk, hearing the melody of this song in a completely different country made my day. Greetings from Turkey, cheers mate!
Abner bhattacharya. Haven't been to Poland, but hae been to Communist China. With concentration camps, ghettoes & einsatz gruppe shootings, most people who Nazis killed were goyim, count 20 million operation Barbarossa deaths 1941 to 1944 in USSR. But this could anger, but can killing people in gasvans, famine & other deaths in cc & ghettoes sometimes be justified? I think commissar order & killing pink triangle tattoo men in gasvans can be justified. Being victim isn't enough. How good or how bad were victims before their deaths? Some victims especially Soviet commissars were bad people. But ushmm & other Holocaust memorials martyr Soviet commissars (violent people) & pink triangle tattoo inmates (molesters) killed by Nazis, when those 2 cases are broken clock having right time.
What point are you trying to make, exactly? Yes, some people are piles of garbage, that has zero to do with what happened in these places. Defending any of this is rather alarming.
@@PickupsAreNotTrucks your reply read. It has somewhat to do, when us holocaust museum in dc martyrs soviet commissiars killed in concentration Camps, ghettoes & einsatzgrupp shooting, when i think commissar order was justified. There were also soviet spies killed in concentration camps & ghettoes. I also think to extent that killing the pink triangle tattoo men in concentration camp gasvans & ghettoes was justified. Some of the pink triangle tattoo men molest & harassed young boys & by killing them, never again will pink triangle tattoo harass anymore boys. Every june, the holocaust museum in dc, martyrs these filthy pink triangle tattoo men killed in camps & ghettoes. I know the nazis were murderers, but murderers sometimes kill bad people. Defense lawyers in murder cases, sometimes argue how bad victim were before their client killed them. With holocaust, there is pyramid as far as victims go. Most people who nazis killed were gentiles, count the 20 million operation barbarossa deaths 1941 to 1944 USSR vs. Germany. Yes, most deaths are civilians. Even so, civilians killed by nazis, either supported or were against soviet regime, few were neutral. If you were against soviet regime, you usually were quiet r or risk going to soviet gulag. If you were for soviet regime, then you were atleast a fool & in worst cases, you justify soviet terror though you may not do deeds yourself. No, you should not be killed by nazis, as right thing to do is change your thinking & not kill you, but hard to change people, especially the people who excuse soviet regime in 1930s to 1941. Fact is that many civilians who nazis killed supported soviet regime, operation Barbarossa's 20 million deaths. No, they still should not have been killed in cc & ghettoes, but difficult to mourn those who made excuses for soviet regime though they did not do deeds themselves, if they didn't change views. Anyhow, i dont have vested interest as i am not white. Yes, from late 1800s to 1945 germany, japan & italy believed they were greatest & millions were killed in 2 world wars, including children. None of this should've happened, but did. Point is that Holocaust history is a problem, when the 2 groups mentioned earlier get martyred, when i dont think they should be martyred. I hope that answers you. Finally, i am for peace👍
Sepertinya lebih bagus kereta api Indonesia. Kamu harus datang ke Indonesia, pemandangan bagus,makanan enak dan murah,orangnya ramah.
Will be in Hallstatt later this month and have watched so many travel vlogs. Wanted to say that this is by far the nicest video I've seen from anyone visiting Hallstatt!
Glad you liked mine the most!😁 Have a fantastic trip to Hallstatt!
Beautiful City but why no Trees 🌲🌾
Good question! Not a clue 🧐
Zadar is good for a short break, i heard its worth getting the bus to Split.
Didn’t end up going in the end Neil! Was a bit burnt out and weather wasn’t looking too great
nice to see you again!
And you too!
Hi Ben. I would not overcook the 'thinking is good' malarkey thing , it's overrated :). I spent a lifetime worrying that I needed to know things, when in-fact I could have saved myself the time and bother working on what I really needed instead :). Life will surprise you enough anyway. For the You-tube channel it might be an idea to cross pollinate with other similar youtubers? Meet ups, trips with other people of the same ilk? It can sometimes help to increase views? You could definitely learn a lot I suppose off some of them. You never know, you might meet the woman of your dreams that way :). Your cinematography is lovely, you could easily go down that route more as well. Anyway, whatever you do, enjoy!
Haha, perhaps! I think like all things, balance is important. Thinking can be useful, but not at the expense of just living! And that's some useful advice, thank you. Definitely worth a look, would certainly be a bonus if I met the woman of my dreams haha! Thanks again :)
I’d happily pay to support you and to keep these videos coming I wasn’t aware until recently the amount of hours that’s goes into these videos from editing and getting that perfect shot, I can see you take pride in your videos to give us the viewers a real feel of the views and amazing places you visit, keep it up mate
Thank you mate. I'm really glad you think so, appreciate the support so much ❤️
In regards to channel growth (I hope the keywords don’t get this comment auto removed for spam!), I found that it genuinely starts off slow and feels like it’s going nowhere, then all of a sudden the curve starts. I used Veefly on my other channel on 2-3 videos and noticed a growth after that. I feel the pain though, it’s frustrating - especially when you see other content creators smashing thousands of views with poor quality vids. I think if you keep going with it, the algorithm does take off, but most channels don’t have the patience to keep it going. I just do mine as a hobby and make a few quid here and there.
What is your other channel Rob? Would be intrigued to know! And I think you're right, it's probably always going to grow somewhat exponentially, but you're right. It requires a lot of patience, effort and investment!
<<<This is it. I lt wouldn’t let me tag for some reason. I found your Romanian videos quite helpful as I’m trying to plan a trip over there to film some castles for my paranormal channel. Rob
Ljubljana is incredible. My favourite place I’ve been. It’s so scenic, plus there’s trips you can make to Bled, Piran etc
Oh really? Might have to get myself over there then!
Yo, just found your channel. Great Gran Canaria video! Which drone are you using?
Thank you! I use the DJI Mini 2!
@@BenRobson123 Thanks for the reply! I used my extreme deductive skills to pause the video when you opened up the pairing mode to see the name 🧐🧠 I ended up ordering a Mini 3 that was on sale with the RC controller :O Used, so I hope there's no scratches on the lens 🤞
Fantastic. Mini 3 is definitely worth the step-up I think, enjoy!
Hi Ben! Really enjoy your videos, sorry they don’t do as well as intended. But like with anything, it comes with consistency. I think varying your content might be cool, even mini vlogging your day to day interests, hiking, gym and so on. Also, you might be happy to know, I’m a woman commenting! You are quite charming 😮😂
Hey! Yeah you might be right, even some of the local walks I do, or more ramble-style, chatty vlogs. I might start making more relaxed videos like that alongside my typical travel-videos 😊 Haha that's fantastic too, glad you think so!😁😅
Keep up the good work.
Thank you!
Hi Ben, first, congratulations on 5,000 subs. I think all of your videos are very well done but especially liked the videos you did on Auschwitz Death camp and your 2 vides from Austria were very high quality and great narration. Your somber voice on the Auschwitz video was very fitting for all of the video contents. Wish you the very best on building your channel. If you would feel comfortable talking about it, I think a video about the grief you experienced that pushed you to start this channel would be very interesting and could help your audience relate to you more as a person. Another great way to build your channel would be to have Livestreams were we can connect with you live and new people seeing you live may join and even become a new subscriber. It is hard to believe it is May already but best wishes for the rest of 2024 and beyond.
Thank you Ben. I'm glad you enjoyed those videos, they certainly took a lot of time and effort! That's certainly something I could consider talking about, I think I may start making more personal, or chatty videos alongside my typical travel videos. Thank you for the insight and hope you have a great year too!
I smiled and laughed all the way through this. I love your spontaniety as we have had to wander most of our journey as flexiroam never worked! We have been humbled relying on restaurants with wifi.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it, it was probably the messiest video I've done!
I like your videos because I think you come across as really genuine, which many UA-camrs don't. I wanted to comment on the point about travelling while young. The most inspiring person I've met while travelling was actually two people, a couple who I met in Argentina. They were French Canadian from Quebec and were in their 70s. We met them in Buenos Aires (they were staying in the same hotel) and started chatting for a bit. We then went our separate ways but by chance saw each other again a few days later in Mendoza in the wine region. Because it was such a fluke we started chatting again and had a few meals and trips out together. They were fantastic - so enthusiastic about doing things and seeing places. They travelled as much as they could and had been everywhere. Their only concession to their age was getting taxis to hotels rather than struggling with their luggage and not trying to do too much each day, but they were brilliant - really loved life and doing everything, not letting their age stop them from participating. I've often thought about them in the years since and hope I can replicate their positive attitude and sense of adventure. Anyway, I was inspired by one of your recent videos to visit Zakopane so I've booked a trip to Krakow. I'm looking forward to it. Please keep vlogging and I'm sure your channel will eventually get the number of subscribers you want (and deserve)
That's a fantastic story, thank you for sharing. I really appreciate the feedback too, hope you have a fantastic time visiting Krakow / Zakopane. If you end up doing any day trips through GetYourGuide (Auschwitz, salt mines, zakopane), if you access through some of the links in the description of my videos it would help support me and my channel, which would be much appreciated ❤️ Have a fantastic trip!
you've broken a lot of hearts with that last question ben hahaha
If my views suddenly go down, we know why 🤣
@@BenRobson123but you are Scottish, aren’t you?
@@BiztosAngol No, he is from the North East of England from his accent. Mind you, he could be living anywhere :)
it was not the Davey Lamp it was the much better Geordie lamp which is generally considered the root of the term Geordie for residents of the Toon
Yeah think I got a bit mixed up when recording, thanks for the clarification
Kudadasi is in Turkey, it might be right up your street...P.S I am woman and I comment!
Ahh never knew that, and fantastic!😄
Me too! Maybe only women named Caroline?
@@carolinacadabra8278 haha, will have to make a Caroline Club!😀
Have you been to Heidelberg in Germany Ben. Honestly it’s stunning. The views from the castle. Even has. A funicular take you up half way then a monorail go up to top.
No mate I haven't! Just checked and it looks lovely though, reminds me a little of Brasov
I think that the some of the public sculptures are very gauche. I beileve that less is more. What I would like see is more plants.
