Shame you didn't go to Alken as well (just almost (well, quite a bit) opposite from Cochem), there's the only castle (Thurant Castle) with two towers and a wall between them, because way back, the two brothers owning the castle couldn't stand each other. Well worth checking out.
1:45 Dad: "oh..oxygen !!!" 🤣 Being from Heidelberg I know how it feels like but each time I make it to up there I feel like the Castle's King 🤴🏾 always beautiful.
What I find great about your parents is that they just blend in. Sometimes you can spot American "tourists" from a mile away but they? Look just like any other German couple their age around here. I think my dad has the same shirt as your dad :D
Wow! I love this comment🥰 I think they blended in too! It’s always a feeling that people know your an American lol. I don’t know how to word that better. But Our dads are twinning😂
i was never in that Castle ,Cochem is only 30 min. away from my place (55743)
3 роки тому+2
I took a (googled) tour of castles in OH.Oh well… ;-) (Of course, the page I looked at, claimed "some are old, some are new"… when the oldest are from the late 19th century, I just laugh in "place I grew up, tiny village, is over 1200 years old" :D)
Haha right. That’s what I told my dad. He’s constantly trying to get us to move to Ohio. Towards the end of the trip he told us that he understands why we love Germany/ Europe so much.
@@FaithMoncivais yeah, been around here and there. Still there are lots of hidden gems in Europe if you can find them, and offcourse depending on what you are looking for. For me its mostly mountain area's , rural area's with woodlands and historical sites.
@@FaithMoncivais Burg Eltz, not far from Cochem. For some grandeur, there is always Heidelberg, of course. Maybe not that spectacular, but great for an authentic feel, have a look at Burg Fleckenstein, just around the corner from you, across the French border.
Thanks for the suggestions! Leo and I went to the burg Eltz! Our favorite by far! We should have just taken them there honestly. We did a video on the burg Eltz and Heidelberg as well! I’ll have to look up the burg flekenstein, I haven’t heard of that one!
That's what I thought - Cochem's castle is pretty, but not very authentic. My first suggestion would have been Eltz, too. It is just amazing! Other great sights to see are the Marksburg above the Rhine River, the Felsenkirche (church in the rock, unfortunately it is closed for the winter, reopens in March) in Idar-Oberstein, Larochette Castle over the border in Luxemburg, or come to Hesse, the castle in Friedberg, 20 miles north of Frankfurt, is something to see with its tower that is open to the public and almost 60 m tall. Got a beautiful view from up there all the way to Frankfurt or to the Münzenburg 15 miles north. You should see Bad Nauheim too, with its large art nouveau complex. Friedberg and Bad Nauheim were Elvis Presley's home when he was stationed in Europe. And while you're here, see the Saalburg as well, one of the largest reconstructions of a Roman castle in Germany with a large museum. If you would like to go on an even longer roadtrip, I'd recommend Rothenburg, Schwäbisch-Hall, Bamberg and the Zollernburg - all in the south of Germany and quite beautiful. Sorry it got a bit longer, guess I got carried away 😅
@@kuerbis-chen3613 hey! Thanks for commenting so much! Ugh I feel bad for not taking them to the Eltz castle. We loved the Eltz castle! I’ll ha r to look up the other ones you mentioned. I’m not familiar with them! Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed😂
Haha my dad is😃 I never noticed how my mom eats with a fork and knife, but you are right lol she was born to live over here😌 Thank you for watching! I hope you are enjoying the videos🥰
I just looked her up😍 I’ll have to subscribe to her channel🤩 Wow, thank you, such a big compliment🥰 I will posting more very soon. I’m glad you are loving them so far😊🥰❤️
@@FaithMoncivais Maybe the video can inspire you a little bit: *German castles (and palaces)* ua-cam.com/video/3FKUQa0Vniw/v-deo.html Disneys Sleeping Beauty Castle is based on *Neuschwanstein Castle*
The neuschwanstein castle is on the list for sure! The tickets sell out so quickly. I’m hoping to go there in the spring time! Thank you for sharing that video! I’m always looking for new places to explore and visit. Do you have recommendations for any Christmas markets? In Germany or the surrounding countries.
@@FaithMoncivais Christmas markets: Dresden, Nuremberg, Munich in Germany. Strasbourg (France), Salzburg and Vienna (Austria), Prague (Czech Republic). Btw: The Christmas Carol "Silent Night" 🌟was composed close to Salzburg. (Naturally with German lyrics 😉🇦🇹)
The point of these sort of videos "first time..." is that you get some feedback from the people that experience said events, places, music etc for the first time...this was a complete waste!
Strange video. You do not even give us the name of the castle and where it is located. Nor any other information? I get it, it is not a history class. At least when was it built and by whom. Instead we see a lady eating and laughing and a little girl sitting on the cobblestones?!
Strange comment. Did I not say the Cochem castle like 5 times? This is not an educational video. This is a video with my parents so yeah you see my mom laughing and my daughter sitting on cobblestone. Thanks for watching and commenting - help that algorithm sir.

I disagree, the dad looks 100% American with his haircut and shirt.
crazy i literally go to school right next to the castle
Gosh, your dad is awesome! :)
Hahaha isn’t he🤩 he’s so funny!
Thank you for the motivation. I'am grateful!
Thanks for commenting!🙂

Nice Video Thank You 👍 and a New Abonnent, grüße Michael
Been there! Done that! 👍
Awesome! Where else have you been!?!
@@FaithMoncivais All over Europe from East to West and North to South. Traveled all those countries in the last twenty years by motorcycle. 🏍️
Wow! That’s impressive! You are an experienced traveler!

All that sound perfect!
Welcome to Germany. "Dont run over red-lights". Have a nice day ;)
Thank you!
So many castles to choose from and you went for that fake 19th-century eyesore! I'm kidding, Cochem is a nice place in its own right. ;)
Hahaha someone recommended us going there lol which ones do you recommend?? It was a nice castle but not my favorite.
