Beautiful scenery, I remember spending a few enjoyable weekends in Frankfurt when I was younger. Amazing food and beer and very helpful people. As long as you tried speaking German and not simply shouting in English I found people willing to help me with my correct pronunciation and the dialect too. You have helped me make up my mind to make some trips this year. Got to try a Jager schnitzel again washed down with awesome bier(und noch eine)❣️
They have Medieval Fairs in the next county to us, when my children were in the Junior school they visited with the school and they had to dress up, my son went as a monk and really enjoyed himself. I have never been to one sadly but thanks to you I have been able to see what happens. Thank you Hans, good luck 🍀 Mary-Ellen UK 🙋 👍
+M Johnson hello mary-ellen, these medieval markets are perfect for children. . I would have loved it to visit a market like that when I was a child. . thank you for watching and for your kind comments! all the best, hans
0:45 I see someone sneaking in behind you to go detecting - quick, chase them away, lol. What an excellent celebration of Medieval life. I suppose we will have similar gatherings in UK but they must be down south as I've never heard of one up in the north.
hey! thank you again! i'm planning to go there in about one week. . .so you will see more of this lovely place. it's soo nice there in winter with the x- mas market!
We call these Renaissance Fairs here in the Midwest. .. sooooo much fun and so many tasty things! Friends have to roll me out to the car! But no castles...Damn it! That would be wonderous! Thanks, Hans for taking us along!
I've heard of "Meade" served warm in small glass.... yes, me and a couple friends shared a glass..... I'm pretty sure I lost my shoes there somewhere.... shhh... don't tell no one... Ha!
I watch very little TV and don't buy newspapers or magazines. There may be shows going on withing 5 minutes of me and I wouldn't hear ablut it, lol I live just West of Newcastle (north east England)
I really love your videos! Just found them, and have thoroughly enjoyed them! I look forward to watching them all. GL&HH and keep the informative & entertaining videos coming. -AK
akimmel1976 hello AK :) welcome on my channel and thank you for your kind words about my videos! it makes me happy to read all that :) thank you for watching and please stay tuned :) all the best, GL&HH! hans
haha. . .no it's my personal field patrol ;) you said it! i love this event! in summer it's even bigger and they sell very nice dark beer and mead :P. you have very big and beautiful events like that in UK, too! I've seen it on TV. . . where do you live in england?
I really enjoyed seeing this video and the one on the Spessart Forest. You might try the Veldenstein Castle where Kaiserbrau beer is make north of Nurenburg. This is a private castle owned as a B&B. That area is very old too.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed my videos! thank you for watching them :) thank you also for your sight seeing tip. . unfortunately nürnberg is quite far away from where I live. . all the best, hans
Very enjoyable video of your trip to the castle Ronneberg my relatives live only 150 km from Frankfurt just East of Fulda in a small village called Filke,just above Willmars. I have been to Germany and seen the Christmas villages in Frankfurt and Munich and I thought they were wonderful. It must be very special at this ancient castle If I visited in Germany from the USA could I metal detect or would I need a special permit for a restricted area? Keep up the good work,love your videos!
ah really. . .fulda is not far and its a nice city and region! yes the castle is very special. i love that you can move in the castle totally alone without a guide. the rules for metal detecting in germany are quite strict. you got to have a permission to do it as you can always find realy importand stuff in germany due to the long past. thank you for watching an please stay tuned!
hahaha. . .'nonsense'. . .i haven't got problems understanding you but cockney for example :P no chance! very interesting! quite old family!! here in germany they found bronze age bones in a cave next to a small village. the scientists took dna samples and compared it to the dna of the people living in the village. the result: a vew of the village people (not the band!) where related to the bronze age population 3000 years ago! imagine how you would feel when getting this information.fantastic!
Great videos! I have a question. I'm going to Büdingen and then Ronneburg. I have difficulty hiking long distances (I'm thinking from a far away parking spot) ... I can handle the castle itself by taking breaks. Was there a parking shuttle or a "pay more for closer spot" at the Christmas market?
thank you for watching, I'm happy to hear you like my videos :) on regular days without any special events you can drive up to the castle almost to the gate of the castle. on crowded events like the christmas market it is a bit more difficult as most of the parking lots are at the foot of the castle. I'm sure that you can talk to the parking lot managers to get the permit to drive up. . .they have to make exceptions in such cases!
Yeah, it's bad news alright, lol Believe it or not the English language originated in my part of England as it was the centre of power when all the different cultures were coming from mainland Europe and Scandanavia. Even my surname (Thew) is Anglo Saxon and there are records of my ancestors (with same name) living in my area 1000 years ago. What you are hearing is 'proper' English, not that nonsense they speak down south, lol
