Wow.
You should also go into the small villages. It's usually even more rustic there. We ourselves live in Kröv on the Moselle. The house we live in has been there since the 16th century.
Oi
Such a beauty. Visited Rothenburg/Tauber and, even better and less touristic, Dinkelbühl. Nicest timbered houses and great Franconian food and cool white wine from the Main bank; medal-winning Müller-Thurgau of Würzburg Bürgerspital. J.W. Goethe didn´t start any travel without a little barrel of Riesling by them ;-). Love it + quite moderate pricing for hotel/food. Must see for medieval lover!
Absolutely stunning and charming architecture. It is nice to see so much of it so well preserved and appreciated! It is remarkable that so much survived WW II. That is amazing and a wonderful tribute to German heritage and culture. I love the half-timbered buildings with their ornate facades. So expressive and delightful!
And definitely Regensburg!
The Engkish Burned medieval Cologne
So lucky they had freedom and weren't slaves for centuries by other enpires that destroy and not build😭😭😭
👁💧
Karl Marx hailed from Treir
Simply fantastic. The more and more you watch the Video you get stunned by the Beauty of the Ancient Cities and it's beautiful Architecture and the best preserved buildings and much more 👍
All beautiful cities.It's a miracle they all weren't destroyed by allied bombing.
Charles the Great? Isn't he usually called Charlemagne in English?
Germany! I want to go this year!
I love the architecture!
Beautiful towns, but I thought Germany would be full of them, so why is it only a 6 minutes clip?
So pretty!
Dies sind erstaunliche Orte und Städte.
You've left out Dinkelsbühl, a short 45 minute drive south of Rothenburg. Both towns are comparable, though Dinkelsbühl is a living town, with a 3rd of the populace actually living within the old city walls. Come visit us in July and experience the Kinderzech' historical festival, much better than Munich's Oktoberfest.
You know what‘s also incredibly Medieval in German? The very bad Infrastructure resulting in slow Internet Bandwidth. Sad, really.
Sorry but whoever that finds these ones interesting and beautiful, hasn’t seen many countries! Very boring and repetitive scenery
germanys beauty is far away from its big cities..
