I'm an Ami, and have visited that castle about 200 times (work). I hate going there. Tourist trap. Beautiful though. Sure wish one could add pictures here (I got lots). Glad you guys walked up instead of the horses or the bus. For many years, they had nighttime concerts inside that castle. Always in September. Those concerts, I miss dearly....
I love to see you and your friends having a nice time. Such happy faces! Thanks for the beautiful views. Thanks for making me feel more at home here now that I have finally made it from Missouri. Scenes like these give me hope that I will enjoy it here as I keep settling in to my new home in Stuttgart. I really appreciate your videos.
Pilot almike you would not believe how many amazing cars there are in this town. Porches all over the place. But not just that. There is a Lamborghini dealership next to my doctors office. Their shop also works on Mclarens. Mercedes Benz are the most common car here, like Ford. BMW is common too. When I got off the airplane and went into the parking garage I paused amazed at what was parked there. Also, there are hardly any Nissans, Hyundai, or Toyota cars here. I guess it’s just too far to ship them. But believe it or not the German’s like Fords. However, they are mini cars, not available in the USA. It’s fascinating.
Pilot almike I followed my husband for his job. We came from Waynesville. The area has an annual car show put on every summer by the Cave State Cruisers. It’s wonderful and you would like it if you like historical autos and muscle cars. All the retired military guys working in their garages produce some very pretty work. And these same guys put them in every small town parade. America at its best. I’m a fan because my dad was always working on an old Mustang and then selling them when he was done. Me, personally know nothing about cars, other than to look at the skill and labor that goes into their restoration. I admire the hard work and beauty of the results.
I visited last summer and I think the scenery around the castles are just as beautiful if not more so than the castles themselves. Just look at the drone shots, the green pastures all around in the valleys. Just takes you back to a simpler place and time.
Dear NALF; I really had a crap day until I saw your video. I love your appreciation for the things you enjoy. Your vlogs are awesome and they are always able to make me feel more at peace and calm. Thanks for brightening up my life by sharing yours. My sister and I are planning to come to a Unicorns game at Schwäbisch Hall later this year and I hope to meet you then. Keep up the great work!
Dude, if you've had mentioned you were going to the castles again, I might have been able to set you up to a privat tour through Schloss Hohenschwangau (the yellow one next to Neuschwanstein, and in my opinion the more impressive one on the inside, since it was actually inhabited for 80 years). I used to be a tour guide there and still have good connections to the people working there. And I still live less then 1km from the castles, I can literallly see my house in one of your drone shots^^!
I came across your channel back in December when I was youtubing things about Schwäbisch Hall. I was born there in 1991 and my family moved to California not long after. I went to see the town with my own eyes for the first time 4 months ago and spent my 27th birthday there. I stayed in a spot along the river for a few days and went to a few of the places you mentioned which were pretty cool. Jealous you got to go over the bridge at Neuschwanstein, it was closed due to the snow when I went. Just thought I'd give a shoutout and a thank you for the cool videos and the tidbits of travel info you give out!
Deine Art und Weise.....und deine Videos sind so positiv. Du bist ein herzensguter und weiser Mensch. Wenn ich mir vorstelle, dass immer mehr Menschen wie du um die Welt reisen, dann wird es wieder schöner hier auf der Erde. Die Energien verändern sich. ))))
I've been there once as a Child and still have my Souvenir from back then: a little metallic Book (you can clip it on your keys, bag,..) with pictures in it, each shows the castle in another season of the year🏰
I just discovered your content about a week ago. I just want to say thank you! Thank you for the flood of childhood memories rushing back. As a child in the late 60 and thru the 70 my father was stationed at American Embassies all over Europe. Since it was so hard to make it back to the states for one week of vacation and back we would spend most of our vacations in Bavaria. It's where I first put on ice skates, where I first went skiing, went swimming in the Eibsee. I've been watching lots of videos about Bavaria lately as I am planning a visit out there soon. Yours are by far the best videos I've watched. Especially the one with your mom at the Christmas shop. So many memories of Christmas in Garmisch.
We were skiing in Austria and driven past the castles(well nearby) dozens of time, but never visited. After I told my wife about this video we decided to stop there on our lost day. So we parked at the Lechfall in Füssen and walked around Schwansee and to both castles and then back (around 14-15 km). So a great Inspiration. Thanks
every video of u makes me feel like iam seeing germany for the first time. I was born here but it makes so fun to see u enjoing all theese little things i dont even metion anymore :) . GO on !
You never fail to amaze me with your videos! Another beautiful piece of art with genuine emotions and no bullshittery. So happy to have your vlog back. If these little snipbits already put me in awe, I can’t imagine what your unicorn town documentary will do. Keep up the good work, just amazing!
Burg Eltz is remarkable. I was there on a class trip back in 1990 and it was amazing. We have a fully intact and bigger castle and here in my hometown. I visit it on a regular basis. But it does not come close to Burg Eltz. Still it's pretty cool and i married my wife there, which also was pretty cool :)
Just wow - absolutely stunning soaring drone shots of Schloss Neuschwanstein. Equally impressive is the background music you have synched up with your footage. Your musicality is always evident in all your videos; love the way how you match/edit the different rhythms and tempo to the shots, as well as the use of musical phrasing and changes in dynamics (although you are more of a forte guy than pianissimo 😉). Intelligent storytelling, artistic eye and innate musicality all contributes to the wonderful high quality of your vlogs.
Something that, at least in my opinion, is as impressive as Schloss Neuschwanstein is Burg Elz ( Castle Elz ). I have visited many castles in Germany and this one is my favourite one. Also driving with the car next to the Rhine from Bingen to Koblenz is very impressive because there are so many castles. ( I think this part of the Rhine has the highest density of castles world wide [ There is even a Website it is called Rheinburgenweg ] )
Nalf, last night I saw your 2016 video on the Schloss and my little brain went BOOM. (Actually, it went F*CK!) I watched the vlog a bunch of times and wrote on it there, adding some historical factoids after a little research to give it some context. It’s an architectural monstrosity but just FABULOUS. You just gotta love it. It’s like the first time I saw the Mormon Temple rising over the beltway in Washington, DC times 10 or more. Part of the fun with the Mormon Temple is the absurdity of its setting. (For those that have never seen the Temple, it looks like something out of the Wizard of Oz. But instead of a poppy field it rises over an 8 or 10 lane highway. Someone even scrawled “Free Dorothy“ on the highway wall in front of it.) But unlike the Mormon Temple the setting for your Schloss is just magnificent. Someone in the comments gave a suggestion for 2 more we should see, so I gotta check them out. Thanks for taking us here Nalf!
hey.different country.different habit,culture and different way of life.....by the way SCHLOSS NEUSCHWANSTEIN...I WAS THERE. SO ROMANTIC EVEN WHEN IT IS SNOWIN......-)))
I was there once when i was about 8 years old. My wife is in germany for more than ten years now and we didnt made it there yet. But there are also alot of other things here close by like Burg Altena as example.
I was there in 2013 and don't remember that path up. I also walked up, and my out of shape butt thought I was going to have a heart attack. But I don't remember being able to stop short of the castle for drinks. The path I went up was a gravel path the whole way up, reasonably steep. Either way, I did enjoy myself.
You were lucky that you got tickets, to get up there. The last time I've been there, was during the summer holidays in 2014 with my 8 year old daughter. It was a rainy day, like nearly the whole summer. Our hotel we stayed in, near Kempten, was disappointing and I always had to think about things to do with my 8 year old girl. It wasn't easy, because it was hard to get internet at that hotel. So one day I decided to get her some Bavarian culture. We arrived at noon, but there was already a very long queue at the ticket counter. A woman behind us went to the counter to ask, how long we would have to wait and the answer was: the are already too much people in the castle or waiting to get in, so before 5 p.m we would not get any tickets. I was disappointed, but my daughter was happy. She wasn't interested at all visiting "old stones". Luckily we found an indoor ropes course (Klettergarten), so our day was saved.
The Americans and Asian tourists of course like the fanciest castle the most....there are older, more authentic ones for sure, although Neuschwanstein does make for nice pictures, it looks impressive from a far (though not old from up close). Liked the music in this vid!
There is a Castle in Königswinter which looks like Neuschwanstein..the Castle Drachenburg . You should visit Königsee with its known waterfalls and the surroundings.. Bastei..the Castle Wilhelmshöhe in Kassel etc..Germany have many more interesting places ! I recommend u Europa park as well ..its the best park in the world!👍 The Schwerin Castle ... The new and unique Water Bridge in Magdeburg...
No wonder that lots of Germans haven't visited Neuschwanstein in a lifetime. I've been there twice and was disappointed both times. The castle court and surroundings are packed with box offices which spoil the impresssion of a castle, tons of tourists (I know I've been a part of that problem), the castle has no history except for the crazy King Ludwig II in his mind somewhat lived in the past and in 1886 (!) tried to rebuild the medieval times. He used that castle as a kind of weekend cottage. He stayed there all in all for about six or seven days. Everything looks like a movie set and in a way built in somewhat 1:2 scale. For example the Sängersaal (singer's hall) is rebuild after that in the Wartburg (another famous German castle where Martin Luther translated the bible from Latin into German), but way smaller. Everything looks artifical (which it is). I won't stand in line for hours for another time to see that crap.
Always enjoying ur videos! Love how u enjoy all the little things! I would love to cook with u ur fav german food, so u will be able to cook it once for ur fam when ur home 😊 i live near schwäbisch hall, so if u guys are up to it 😉
As you did know Neuschwanstein is not an old castle, as we have many real old (Ole Faller did recommend two of them) we Germans often like to see the real staff. However it's all about enjouying your time, so have fun. Btw. nice vid as most of your work, thanks.
NALF if you are a 'castle fan' you can visit them around Schwäbisch Hall too:) I am thinking about e. g. Langenburg a castle with a really interesting history. Love your videos so much!!!
Germany is estimated to have had 25.000 Castles and Fortresses. Only about 2.500 of them are still standing. The others got damaged, got abandoned, got deconstructed, or became a ruin over time. But the 2500 remaining castles make Germany the country with the large amount of castles in the world. Schloss Neuschwanstein is quite young.
Did you know, that this is the castle that Walt Disney used to inspire for the logo, the castle in Walt Disney world and one of their movies (don't know anymore witch princess: Cinderella?)
You should visit Festung Hohensalzburg. It't the largest fortress in middle-europe, nearly 1000 years old AND you could buy me a beer since i live there.
It's one of the youngest castles in Germany built in 1869. Just a mentally challenged bavarian kings fancy Too touristic for me. There are more genuine castles in Germany.
There are a lot of castles/palaces in Germany and all over Europe. I studied in Hannover and the University is in the Welfenschloss. So the motivation to see "just another castle" isnt as high for Germans as people coming from far away. Especially if its THE castle posting as an tourist attraction.
A video on Neuschwanstein for a German audience and not much negativity at all. These Germans are becoming more Americanized every day. Good job, Nalf.
Why don't visit Schloss Linderhof or Herrenchiemsee (on an island in middle of the Chiemsee, which is very beautiful too) instead? Both are King Ludwig castles as well and I consider Linderhof even more pretty!
Dear Nalf, I' German and I've never been therem though I spent lots of holidays not far from there in Austria. Partially because my parents tried to avoid the masses of tourists in summer time. But there's another cause. We have so many genuine castles and ruins in our country (especially in the Palatinate, where I'm from), so Neuschwanstein is somewhat "fake" for us - because it was built on the the romanticising fantasies of a mad king, who ruined his kongdom's finances because of it, because this king was the king of Bavaria and his actions affected directly my ancestors as the Palatinate was part of the kingdom of Bavaria. CU twinmama
Schloss Neuschwanstein. The place number one in Germany where you have more American and Japanese people than Germans. Can confirm that. I am in the minority group of Germans who have been there. And the places like Yosemite National Park 🏞 the USA has are more spectacular. The Alps have it’s own appeal, but when I remember the visit in Yosemite compared to the visit of the castle, Yosemite was much more mind blowing. So it is the clear winner.
There is a hugh different between Schloss and Burg (Castle) Schloss is the home of the king or the emperor Castle is the home of the knights and the dragon Schloss is for living Castle is for defending and protecting the people
So ein Quatsch. Schlösser sind später entstanden als prunkvolle Präsentationsresidenz. Burgen sind Trutz-, Verteidigungsanlagen ist auch an zollrelevanten Orten errichtet. Frühere deutsche Kaiser und Könige sind in ihrem weiten Reich oft unterwegs gewesen. Die residierten dann z.B. in Pfalzen
@@miascolar3491 Die ersten Schlösser entstanden bereits im 16 Jahrhundert. Der Unterschied zwischen einem Schloss und einer Burg: Eine Burg beinhaltet Verteidigungseinrichtungen, ein Schloss ist zum besseren wohnen die Zinnen und Zugbrücke sind nur noch schmückendes Beiwerk. Daher: Schloss Neuschwanstein ist ein Schloss zum Wohnen, Burg Eltz ist eine Burg mit Rittern zur Verteidigung der Umgebung. Oftmals wurden alte Burgen im 16-18 Jahrhundert zu Schlössern umgebaut. Schloss Neuschwanstein wurde direkt als Schloss für den bayrischen König erbaut. Frühere Könige zogen umher und lebten in Pfalzen, als diese "sesshaft" wurden und nach der Erfindung der Feuerwaffen bauten sie Schlösser. Hier zitiert aus Wikipedia: Ein Schloss ist ein Gebäude oder Gebäudekomplex, das/der im Auftrag des Landesherrn oder anderer Mitglieder des Adels errichtet wurde; es bezieht diese Bezeichnung damit unabhängig von der Größe oder der künstlerischen Gestaltung seiner Fassade. Stattliche Schlösser gingen häufig aus mittelalterlichen Burganlagen hervor, einige Schlösser gründen auch auf früheren Klöstern."
Neuschwanstein is pretty amazing. But in reality it is not a real castle, it is a fancy mansion, as you mentioned. Check out Schloss Linderhof. It is an other mansion from King Ludwig II, not far away from Neuschwanstein. Many castles in Germany got rebuild and remodeled in the 19. century. Only a few castles are original and those that are not modified are usually ruins.
The special thing about Neuschwanstein Castle is that it is NOT particularly old. It is a romanesque revival palace, where the insane Bavarian King Ludwig II realized his ideas of a romantic castle.
Schloss Neuschwanstein is a little bit like Notre Dame in the sense that people from here don't really care much for it most of the time but would really be devastated if it was gone.
For Notre Dame in Paris your statement is not true. I live in Paris for 30 years now, and believe me, many people of Paris absolutely LOVE the cathedral and go often inside. Even more since the towers were cleaned up and were so beautiful! That's why everybody in town was completely shocked and went near to ND monday evening while the roof was on fire.
@@MagetoLp I hope so much the cathedral of Cologne will NEVER see happen what we saw last monday! Never take for granted a historical treasure by your side. Take the time to apreciate it frequently. Teach your children to love the treasures of our history, the wonderful know how of our ancestors and the traditions of our culture. Not for to stuck in the past. Just to know where we come from, and so to know where we will go to.
Like somebody else said you must visit the North of Germany. You will feel like in another Country. Hahaha. Interesting historical Buildings are in Bremen. The Schnoor, the Böttcherstraße, the Dom, the Rathaus whith the stature of Roland at the historical Marketplace. Everything is right in the Center. Not to Forget the Bürgerpark, a big park whith the most beautiful landscape and free running deers.
What most people do not know is that it's seen as an artificial castle in Germany. It's not old at all. It was built in the 19th century (1860s ?) by that weird Bavarian king Ludwig II. It might be famous yet not really respected by many Germans as a true castle. It's a touristic attraction for foreigners... you might perceive it as a kind of old version of Disney Land.
I live in Bavaria. And I must confess to my shame: I have never been to Neuschwanstein Castle before. It would interest me already, but 2-3 hours line up, for 40 min. tour .... uh ...no.
Sag mal NALFi bist du etwa etwas stolz in Deutschland zu leben und deine Spielerkollegen zu zeigen was du an Sehenswürdigkeiten kennst und darüber weißt ? PS: Dachte du würdest deine Videobeiträge in Deutsch machen , um mehr Deutsch zu lernen ?
You're right of course, it is the most famous in the world. Bit depressing though that the most famous castle in the world is a 19th century fake replica of a castle built for a lunatic.
There are more castles in germany. For example Schloss Schwerin, Schloss Moritzburg, Burg Hohenzollern, Schloss Sanssouci are looking beautiful, in my opinion. 😊
This is dope! Haven't been yet but its getting me excited to go back to Germany. I miss it already
let me know when you're back and lets hit it up bro!
Would be so nice to see you two together in a video.
You should do a documentary about German castles. Would only take a decade or two. :-)
You advertise for a corrupt government, ISA hot spot, one of the worst polution countries... Dude, really?
Visit Northeast India first...
I'm an Ami, and have visited that castle about 200 times (work). I hate going there. Tourist trap. Beautiful though. Sure wish one could add pictures here (I got lots). Glad you guys walked up instead of the horses or the bus. For many years, they had nighttime concerts inside that castle. Always in September. Those concerts, I miss dearly....

0:21 Haha, it actually sounds like "Schloss no Sparschwein" :-)
thanks... this comment is now on the top, so many people will hear that too
EDIT: I take it back, it's not similar enough to work. At least for me.
Well, for the Bavarian taxpayers back then it was indeed no "sparschwein" but just the contrary. ^_^

No wonder that lots of Germans haven't visited Neuschwanstein in a lifetime. I've been there twice and was disappointed both times. The castle court and surroundings are packed with box offices which spoil the impresssion of a castle, tons of tourists (I know I've been a part of that problem), the castle has no history except for the crazy King Ludwig II in his mind somewhat lived in the past and in 1886 (!) tried to rebuild the medieval times. He used that castle as a kind of weekend cottage. He stayed there all in all for about six or seven days. Everything looks like a movie set and in a way built in somewhat 1:2 scale.
For example the Sängersaal (singer's hall) is rebuild after that in the Wartburg (another famous German castle where Martin Luther translated the bible from Latin into German), but way smaller. Everything looks artifical (which it is). I won't stand in line for hours for another time to see that crap.
Always enjoying ur videos! Love how u enjoy all the little things! I would love to cook with u ur fav german food, so u will be able to cook it once for ur fam when ur home 😊 i live near schwäbisch hall, so if u guys are up to it 😉
Ey we need some NALF merch asap dude!
I have been to Schloss Neuschwanstein when I was about 12 years old :D wunderschön
Interesting choice of music, I like it.
As you did know Neuschwanstein is not an old castle, as we have many real old (Ole Faller did recommend two of them) we Germans often like to see the real staff. However it's all about enjouying your time, so have fun.
Btw. nice vid as most of your work, thanks.
Das Allgäu ist wunderschön ❤
NALF if you are a 'castle fan' you can visit them around Schwäbisch Hall too:)
I am thinking about e. g. Langenburg a castle with a really interesting history.
Love your videos so much!!!
Germany is estimated to have had 25.000 Castles and Fortresses. Only about 2.500 of them are still standing. The others got damaged, got abandoned, got deconstructed, or became a ruin over time. But the 2500 remaining castles make Germany the country with the large amount of castles in the world.
Schloss Neuschwanstein is quite young.
It's only 7:50 AM here in NY right now, but looking at those German Beers made me thirsty.
I was at Neuschwanstein last year in May but it was so foggy you couldn't even see the castle from the bridge
Did you know, that this is the castle that Walt Disney used to inspire for the logo, the castle in Walt Disney world and one of their movies (don't know anymore witch princess: Cinderella?)
You should come to Malbork in Poland if you want to see a really old castle!
#1 👏🏼😀 Sunny greetings Nalf! Have a nice day! 😉☀️
Thank you Nalf for showing me and teaching me things about my country. I am smarter now than before the video.
You should visit Festung Hohensalzburg. It't the largest fortress in middle-europe, nearly 1000 years old AND you could buy me a beer since i live there.
It's one of the youngest castles in Germany built in 1869. Just a mentally challenged bavarian kings fancy Too touristic for me. There are more genuine castles in Germany.
So true! 👍
he was not mentally challenged, he was a genius.
There are a lot of castles/palaces in Germany and all over Europe. I studied in Hannover and the University is in the Welfenschloss. So the motivation to see "just another castle" isnt as high for Germans as people coming from far away. Especially if its THE castle posting as an tourist attraction.
It's amazing what man can build. And all you have to do is ruin your state budget^^
A video on Neuschwanstein for a German audience and not much negativity at all. These Germans are becoming more Americanized every day. Good job, Nalf.
Why don't visit Schloss Linderhof or Herrenchiemsee (on an island in middle of the Chiemsee, which is very beautiful too) instead? Both are King Ludwig castles as well and I consider Linderhof even more pretty!
Just a question about the front. Which model are you using here? Do you still use the same model now in 2022?
Dear Nalf,
I' German and I've never been therem though I spent lots of holidays not far from there in Austria. Partially because my parents tried to avoid the masses of tourists in summer time. But there's another cause. We have so many genuine castles and ruins in our country (especially in the Palatinate, where I'm from), so Neuschwanstein is somewhat "fake" for us - because it was built on the the romanticising fantasies of a mad king, who ruined his kongdom's finances because of it, because this king was the king of Bavaria and his actions affected directly my ancestors as the Palatinate was part of the kingdom of Bavaria.

Schloss Neuschwanstein. The place number one in Germany where you have more American and Japanese people than Germans. Can confirm that. I am in the minority group of Germans who have been there. And the places like Yosemite National Park 🏞 the USA has are more spectacular. The Alps have it’s own appeal, but when I remember the visit in Yosemite compared to the visit of the castle, Yosemite was much more mind blowing. So it is the clear winner.
I have a hand carved nueschwarnstien castle cocktail bar from Germany around 1950s brought over from the grandma were looking to sell
Amazing !!! Ich liebe
😍😍😍💐💐💐👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
next time go up to SchlossHohenschwangau. It´s actually the prettier and older castle.
around 30 years older...
Nick did you recognize the camera that young guy was carrying around ? the one in the unicorn sweater, I think that camera is a bit older than you :)
15 min from my home ❤
Es gibt noch eine coole Burg in Ba-Wü bei Hechingen. Burg Hohenzollern
There is a hugh different between Schloss and Burg (Castle)
Schloss is the home of the king or the emperor
Castle is the home of the knights and the dragon
Schloss is for living
Castle is for defending and protecting the people
I think you're referring to a fortress here
So ein Quatsch. Schlösser sind später entstanden als prunkvolle Präsentationsresidenz.
Burgen sind Trutz-, Verteidigungsanlagen ist auch an zollrelevanten Orten errichtet. Frühere deutsche Kaiser und Könige sind in ihrem weiten Reich oft unterwegs gewesen. Die residierten dann z.B. in Pfalzen
@@miascolar3491 Die ersten Schlösser entstanden bereits im 16 Jahrhundert.
Der Unterschied zwischen einem Schloss und einer Burg:
Eine Burg beinhaltet Verteidigungseinrichtungen, ein Schloss ist zum besseren wohnen die Zinnen und Zugbrücke sind nur noch schmückendes Beiwerk.
Daher: Schloss Neuschwanstein ist ein Schloss zum Wohnen, Burg Eltz ist eine Burg mit Rittern zur Verteidigung der Umgebung. Oftmals wurden alte Burgen im 16-18 Jahrhundert zu Schlössern umgebaut. Schloss Neuschwanstein wurde direkt als Schloss für den bayrischen König erbaut. Frühere Könige zogen umher und lebten in Pfalzen, als diese "sesshaft" wurden und nach der Erfindung der Feuerwaffen bauten sie Schlösser.
Hier zitiert aus Wikipedia:
Ein Schloss ist ein Gebäude oder Gebäudekomplex, das/der im Auftrag des Landesherrn oder anderer Mitglieder des Adels errichtet wurde; es bezieht diese Bezeichnung damit unabhängig von der Größe oder der künstlerischen Gestaltung seiner Fassade. Stattliche Schlösser gingen häufig aus mittelalterlichen Burganlagen hervor, einige Schlösser gründen auch auf früheren Klöstern."
Neuschwanstein is pretty amazing. But in reality it is not a real castle, it is a fancy mansion, as you mentioned. Check out Schloss Linderhof. It is an other mansion from King Ludwig II, not far away from Neuschwanstein.
Many castles in Germany got rebuild and remodeled in the 19. century. Only a few castles are original and those that are not modified are usually ruins.
3:24 wonderbra?
The special thing about Neuschwanstein Castle is that it is NOT particularly old. It is a romanesque revival palace, where the insane Bavarian King Ludwig II realized his ideas of a romantic castle.
Schloss Neuschwanstein is a little bit like Notre Dame in the sense that people from here don't really care much for it most of the time but would really be devastated if it was gone.
For Notre Dame in Paris your statement is not true.
I live in Paris for 30 years now, and believe me, many people of Paris absolutely LOVE the cathedral and go often inside. Even more since the towers were cleaned up and were so beautiful!
That's why everybody in town was completely shocked and went near to ND monday evening while the roof was on fire.
Brokencurtain just doesn't care about
precious things...
@@vcie515 yeah cologne cathedral is a better comparison
Uhm....I live near and care a lot
@@MagetoLp
I hope so much the cathedral of Cologne will NEVER see happen what we saw last monday!
Never take for granted a historical treasure by your side. Take the time to apreciate it frequently. Teach your children to love the treasures of our history, the wonderful know how of our ancestors and the traditions of our culture.
Not for to stuck in the past.
Just to know where we come from, and so to know where we will go to.
Nice to see new Nalf stuff.
P. S.: Stein pronounces like "shtine", not "stine" ☺️
yo boy thanks for the 20:9 ratio!
Like somebody else said you must visit the North of Germany. You will feel like in another Country. Hahaha. Interesting historical Buildings are in Bremen. The Schnoor, the Böttcherstraße, the Dom, the Rathaus whith the stature of Roland at the historical Marketplace. Everything is right in the Center. Not to Forget the Bürgerpark, a big park whith the most beautiful landscape and free running deers.
What most people do not know is that it's seen as an artificial castle in Germany. It's not old at all. It was built in the 19th century (1860s ?) by that weird Bavarian king Ludwig II. It might be famous yet not really respected by many Germans as a true castle. It's a touristic attraction for foreigners... you might perceive it as a kind of old version of Disney Land.
@@judithoberpaul509 Ich gönne Euch in Bayern den Tourismus in Neuschwanstein. Trotzdem ist das Schloss ein Witz.... ;-)
Damn one person disliked! He should feel bad about it!!
7:00 best part ^^
I live in Bavaria.
And I must confess to my shame: I have never been to Neuschwanstein Castle before.
It would interest me already, but 2-3 hours line up, for 40 min. tour .... uh ...no.
Sag mal NALFi bist du etwa etwas stolz in Deutschland zu leben und deine Spielerkollegen zu zeigen was du an Sehenswürdigkeiten kennst und darüber weißt ?
PS: Dachte du würdest deine Videobeiträge in Deutsch machen , um mehr Deutsch zu lernen ?
Falls du Muttersprachler bist, solltest du dir lieber Sorgen um dein eigenes Deutsch machen...
Falls nicht, nevermind.
You're right of course, it is the most famous in the world. Bit depressing though that the most famous castle in the world is a 19th century fake replica of a castle built for a lunatic.
No "Ex ex ex ex ex ex ex!" from Moritz? ;)
There are more castles in germany. For example Schloss Schwerin, Schloss Moritzburg, Burg Hohenzollern, Schloss Sanssouci are looking beautiful, in my opinion. 😊
It´s so great. Well maybe this summer i will finally make it :)
how can we see your games
I was there with my parents on vacation when I was a teenager. It's nice but once is enough ....💁🏼♀️
your like SIlas before he got famous. ;-) much more normal and down to earth
