Thanks for sharing this! Germany is full of stunning cities, mainly the minor one that were not devastated in the war. I have at least 50 charming places like this to visit (made quite a few already) but added Miltenberg to the list. Of course, it makes you ponder on how much beauty that was lost in WWII...
@@travelsmartseniors Here goes then, first the ones I have been to: Dresden, Cochem, Marburg*, Lüneburg, Bamberg*, Quedlinburg*, Wernigerode, Koblenz, Rüdesheim, Trier, Celle*, Würzburg, Coburg, Konstanz, Erfurt, Augsburg, Lübeck, Dinkelsbühl*, Monschau*, Rothenburg odT*, Nördlingen*, Wittenberg, Passau, Einbeck*, Donauwörth, Goslar* and Heidelberg. My top recommendations have an "*". I have been to but cannot really recommend even though others liked them: Stralsund, Rostock, Greifswald Places on my list to visit: All the cities on the "Deutsche Fachwerkstrasse". Also, based on various recommendations I have picked up but don't know how good they are: Görlitz, Pirna, Meißen, Bautzen, Regensburg, Wismar, Füssen, Heppenheim, Idstein, Hildesheim, Fürth, Meissen, Bacharach, Münster, Eisenach, Göttingen, Bonn, Aachen, Nürnberg, Ulm, Tübingen, Freiburg im Breisgau, Alpirsbach, Haigerloch, Naumburg, Stade, Blaubeuren, Wismar, Fritzlar, Schwerin, Tauberbischofsheim and, of course, Miltenberg.
@@christopherx7428 Wow - great list!! We are heading to Berlin next spring to take a cruise from Berlin on the Havel, Oder and then the Baltic Sea, finishing in Copenhagen. It includes Stralsund, Rostock, and Greifswald, so we will see. I haven't done much in northern Germany. Of the places you plan to visit - we have been to these and really recommend them: Regensburg and Nürnberg are easy day trips from München. Ulm, Tübingen, Freiburg im Breisgau (Black Forest) and Füssen (near Hohenschwangau). Appreciate the list!
@@travelsmartseniors I hike through Germany, a little now and a little then - usually around a week each time. I go home for a spell and then return to continue. I covered once going north to south and started a new one south to north along another route. Going on foot you get to see the back alleys and go through so many places that no one has ever heard of. E.g. the little village of Archshofen on the Tauber, which greeted me with the sign "Founded in 807" (not much left from those days though) or Osterwieck, where a local told me theirs was the first church ever to be _built_ as a protestant one. Etc, etc. So much to discover.
Miltenberg's Octoberfest was impressive!
Glad you've gotten back to a format of digital tour guides! I know this was always your passion.
