Moment mal! Setzt mich und Begleitperson bitte gleich mit auf die Liste. Ist das relativ barrierefrei und gibt es dort einen Teil von Californien? Dort hat ein Bekannter von mir nämlich die Wappen von Hamburg wiedergefunden und restauriert sie mit Freunden. Sie heißt jetzt Aurora. Es gibt einen RU-vid Kanal darüber. Schaut Euch das bitte mal an. Das ist nämlich auch ein Wunder! Man wollte sie abwracken, aber das lassen wir nicht zu. Niemals! Ein Mensch der nicht an Wunder glaubt, der ist kein Realist. 🌻 Viele Grüße aus Buxtehude.
One of the funniest things I heard is that while they might loose some of the figures due to "sticky" fingers, they do gain tiny cars. Why? Because tiny cars with firm-ads printed on them are added into the scenes by some people. If found by the workers, they are collected and used (being fitted with lights and stuff) and set into a fitting scene. Win-win for both sides, a little bit attention for the company who's ad is on the toy-car and well, free car for the Miniatur Wunderland. :D
A nice day trip from Hamburg would be to take a train to Schwerin and visit the Schwerin castle, one of the most beautiful castles in Germany that can even compare to Schloss Neuschwanstein!
I've been planning a train trip from The Netherlands to Denmark, and I'm pretty sure I will plan a day in Hamburg. As teenager I was interested in model trains but never had a set. It's definitely going on my list of things to visit while I'm in Hamburg.
you will hate it... to leave, because it's impossible to see everything (all the small details or easter eggs) in one (hundred ^^) visit. it is absoluty insane, and they are still buildung new sections.
@@zaldarion Totally agreed. I've visited well over a dozen times, and I still easily find new stuff I haven't seen before. The whole team there is so incredibly creative, and they are not only allowed off the chain, but actively encouraged by the bosses to go off the chain. Frederick and Gerrit Braun as well as Stephan Hertz are all three such wonderful down-to-earth people and still work their butts off each and every day, lying on their backs, staring at wiring and cabling less than 30 cm from their faces, inserting and soldering wires, fixing small crashes, etc.
Maybe you should visit the Ruhrgebiet and the neighboring counties - The Zoom Erlebniswelt Zoo in Gelsenkirchen is great, then there is the Schiffshebewerk in Henrichenburg (an elevator for ships), the Bergbaumuseum in Bochum, Eisenbahnmuseum in Bochum, Zeche Zollverein in Essen with the Kokerei were you can swim, the deutsche Fussball Museum in Dortmund, Legoland Oberhausen, Wuppertaler Schwebebahn and many more. Other options are Burg Altena (first youth hostel of the world), Dechenhöhle in Iserlohn, Attahöhle Plettenberg, Sauerländer Kleinbahn / Museumsbahn (small still working steam railway) in Herscheid, Bike Arena Sauerland, the town of Münster with it's historical places. A very special treat - you have to order tickets for that very early in advance - is the yearly catching end of May of the feral horses near Coesfeld called Dülmener Pferde. It's the only herd of genetic real feral horses in the world. A black and white photograph of these horses made in 1963 is the most copied picture (Guiness record) in the world and a stylized form of that picture is used by the Kentucky horse park and was even used until 2001 on the car license plates of the state. (www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/faszination-deutschland-wildpferde-102.html)
What i like about the Wunderland - in other attractions they don't like video making of big photo equipment, at the Wunderland they ask you to take photos.
In case you are still in Hamburg, I strongly recommend that you visit the Reeperbahn in St. Pauli on Saturday, July 2nd. It starts in the afternoon and is the biggest party you've ever seen. Forget the Berlin nightlife, the Oktoberfest in Munich or the Cologne carnival. It's the "Schlagermove" in Hamburg. Get ready for terrifying music and incredible costumes. You will never forget it and you can make a great video.
Now 1.4 million visitors each year, 35% of whom are from abroad, probably find it equally fascinating. And with the entrance fee of 20 euros for adults, it adds up to a nice sum per year. However, they also give a lot back, since 2015 they have been inviting people who normally can't afford to visit Wunderland, 10,000 people every year. And they support aid organizations, so far with over 750,000 euros. The 3 owners are widely known for their social commitment.
@@unlink1649 Of course, you have to compare the €28 million in income with the expenses. Donations can only be made from what is left over. Besides, not all 1.4 mill. visitors pay the €20.
If you are getting a model train set for Jack: small kids should be started with the wooden BRIO tracks and trains and then you can migrate on to Märklin which is THE brand for model railway in Germany
Ah perfect! thank you so much for the recommendation. Since he loved the train so much we would love to get him started with some great wooden trains for toddlers.
@@TypeAshton Brio is such a great quality, that my nephews are still using them 20 years later. The older models use more wood than the newer ones for the locomotives and trains. A quick tip / hack: the tracks from ikea work with Brio, so you can cut some costs and get more tracks for Jack! Btw super stoked for your everesting run, good luck!
@@sorenmeyer7347 Ah thanks for the tip! Especially since Jack has an affinity for throwing his toys across the room, getting some cost effective replacement tracks could be a great idea. lol
@@TypeAshton oh, the Brio tracks won’t break, trust me. the ones in our family already went through 3 or 4 very lively childhoods :-). An alternative is always the Duplo / Lego trains. I guess they are less traditional (in Germany) and of course fully plastic. but still very very good quality and the cool part is that you can basically design your own trains using the bricks.
I've always found it special that it's not just limited to the rails, but also has cars, trucks and ships going around. A lot of value is also placed on the scenes of the characters, which hide many a surprise. There is a RU-vid channel of the same name with the "Miniatur Wunderland", where an insight into the daily maintenance work and an outlook on future expansions is given.
The three bosses of MiWuLa are wonderful people, totally approachable, down-to-earth. They are still elbows-deep in the construction and maintenance of their brain-and-love-child each and every day. Yepp, they are definitely living their childhood dreams. They have gathered around them a huge crew of over 300 employees who are as dedicated into this labor of love as they themselves were more than 20 years ago. The creativity level is completely off the charts here. I've visited well over a dozen times, and it's not nearly enough to even gain a minor insight into what they have created here. I even took the guided 'Behind-the-scenes' tour. Literally, you crawl around in those areas actually behind the scenes not allowed to normal visitors with one of the employees. You get so see the setup of several areas, some of the mechanics, and some of the little jokes even the bosses thought were a bit too raunchy for the everyday visitor to discover. And those bosses are very open-minded, let me tell you. Once Jack is old enough it may be worth another visit if he retains even a smidge of his current enthusiasm for this hobby.
And they definitely know how to run a buisness responsibly. As far as I know, their crisis management during the pandemic allowed most of their staff to keep their jobs.
The museum is awesome. I'm adding it to my list. BUT, the best part of the video was your son's reactions to everything. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of this. What a wonderful bonding experience!!!!
its a shame he didnt show you the free driving cars and trucks....and more of the airport, or the fire brigade going to the blaze with blues and tunes!
BEWARE!: The Model Railroad Bug is dangerous! Once bitten, you're addicted for life! I have a model railroad in my basement and I seriously couldn't live without it. I cost me a great deal of 'Bier Tokens' but has been worth it. I visited MiWuLa in 2003 while touring northern Germany and the Baltic States. I have been following their progress with astonishment ever since then. And be honest Jonathan, if you buy Jack that train set now, you'll have a great time "testing" it out for him.
hello, please watch this video, sensational 'Official World Record! Fantastic Classical Music Medley played by a Train | Miniatur Wunderland' best regards
Wir waren im Frühjahr im MiWuLa, ganze 7 1/2 Stunden lang. Weil unsere Kids alles, aber auch wirklich alles sehen und jeden Knopf drücken wollten. Inklusive Führung hinter den Kulissen. Das MiWuLa ist so groß geworden, unglaublich, wenn in dem neuen Gebäudeteil mal alles ist, dann braucht man mindestens 2 Tage um alles genau anzusehen.
As someone already mentioned: Tzhe Wunderland would be forbidden in the USA because here and then you see small figures doing "adult stuff" or forbidden things. You have to study the details to find all this - but every figure tells a story!
The model train set will be for the kid. ...right... We all know how that really goes As for the level of detail and time. You can tell that the earlier sections (including the US and rural Germany) are less detailed than the newer stuff like Italy. Today they can take several *years* to build one area. They also don't compress things to such a great deal anymore and rather do few locations in detail than a whole country that's only sketched. For South America they will have an entire floor in another building. If the US were done today there would be more sub-regions.
Living between Stuttgart and Munich we visited all the theme parks or fun fair parks around us. Maybe Jack is still a bit too young but when he is about 5 or 6 years old I'd recommend: - Ravensburger Spieleland -Tripsdrill - Europapark - Legoland - Welzheimer Wald - Charlottenhöhle ( stone age open air museum/activity ) - Bärenhöhle - Aalen ( Roman ruins/museum/activities like make your own Roman sandals etc) - Blaubeuren ( Blautopf/ stone age museum with some of the oldes human artefacts !!!!) You'll find infos about these places on the internet. So, go ahead and have fun.😊
With Welzheimer Wald you mean Schwabenpark? There are also a railway headed by a steam loco ( mostly in the summer time) nearby at the Wieslauftalbahn. 🤓
Yeah, 2 year old Jack will now get a model train set... :) But the Miniatur Wunderland is really something unique. At first people thought its crazy, and that nobody would be interested to see (and pay for it) a model train display. But by now its one of the "must see" attractions in Hamburg. If you are interested in the technical side of it, there are tons of videos on YT showing how they build all those trains, cars, planes, landscapes ect. Quite astonishing I find that the stuff not only works - but it works all day every day. Of course some things need repairs or replacement sometimes, but over all they last pretty long.
Lived in Hamburg for 11 years, moved away, then came back, and living here now for 10 more years. It makes me very proud that you guys like my town. Hamburg, die schönste Stadt der Welt 😍
We went there in 2019 and actually had a behind the scenes tour. And yes the attention to detail is amazing, such as a couple of figures…well, having adult fun. Also many other funny scenes such as the little boy leaving the outhouse with tp stuck to his shoe, the golfer flashing others. Also the millennium Falcon landing/taking off was great for my Star Wars lovers. Glad you enjoyed it.
A *couple*? Ha, I see what you did there... 😁😋 But in reality, it's a bit more than just *a couple*. It's literally dozens, especially behind the scenes.
Many German children around Jack’s age start with the “Brio Bahn” - which is affordable and good to play with for small children. The H0 or other more naturalistic and expensive model trains can follow (or are a thing for the dad). But: Start with Brio and work your way up would be my suggestion.
When Jack is a few years older I can recommend the theme park Legoland in Günzburg. I loved it there as a kid but I also looooved playing with lego. It was my paradise. They also have a kind of Miniaturwunderland in the theme park and there are many buildings and landscapes from around the world completely made with lego. That’s also really cool to see.
I can't understand why Ashton missed it. It's so special. Little jokes in every corner and wonderful details all around. Ashton, when you are in Hamburg again, go for miwula! You won't be disappointed!
As a German, I visited the Miniatur Wunderland last week for the first time in my life and I was exactly as blown away as you were. We were in there for more than 7 hours, and I will come again, because they were just working on new attractions, which you can then have a look at. They are currently building on Monte Carlo and want to include the F1 race in this scenario. We had a tour behind the scenes, which made me aware of the amount of things that are done in the background and are not even recognized by the majority of visitors. Anyway, Hamburg definitely is a good place to visit and there's more than just the Miniatur Wunderland, but this definitely was a highlight on our trip, as well.
Just a recommendation for a day trip - maybe even with that 9 EUR ticket for regional trains. Sinsheim with its technic museum. I think that might be something for a dude day, too...
YES, before even watching this video I am so happy you actually visited Miniatur-Wunderland (MiWuLa) during your stay in Hamburg. After the Food-Videos I was not sure if you actually did. So, now I will watch this video and add to this comment, if I have anything else to say... 😂 Really not much to add. The only thing that might be interesting (and many people visiting the first time don't realize) is, that the MiWuLa also has it's own RU-vid Channel where they produce videos (right now actually quite often) about all the stuff they create. It really began during the construction of the Airport and that video-series alone while not of very high production quality is none the less extremely gripping as they figure out if they can even pull of something like that (over 6 years). Here is the RU-vid Channel: ru-vid.com
would have been interesting to hear how you liked the "America" section of the layout. Sure, they tried to squeeze as many different locations into their America theme, but it would be cool to hear from someone American if they did a good job on that one?
Next time the kid should try all the push button actions :) my four nieces had a blast last summer with those! Especially the Chocolate Factory one! :)
As a train guy myself I have my own assessment of the Miniatur Wunderland. I consider it the Disney version of a model railroad layout. Which means that adherence to realism is not the top issue. But the engineering that went behind it is still amazing. And there are those achievements I like to direct your attention to: 1. the airport and the solution to make the planes taking off convincingly: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zo4TFYG5IIA.html 2. the lava running down the vulcano: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fZo_2JIpGMs.html 3. the racetrack with the freely steerable cars: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SQwLv74-ZY4.html Look them up at the Miniatur Wunderland channel where they explain the challenges of a very realistic solution and the issues they run in to and resolved regarding the parts they needed. And since the layout is run year round things have to be more reliable than on the average modeler's layout. And, BTW, the people who do it have not been hired from the modeling crowd. Many of them were new to that and have proven their ability to take up the challenge and develop their skills.
Even though I do live close by and a friend of mine works there and could give us a cool behind the scenes view, I have actually never been in the Miniatur Wunderland. I think I should really change that, it looks like a lot of fun.
In Munich the Deutsches Museum. Alas meanwhile it is split up to several museums in different places but - as a child I have been there for at least 20 times and there was always something new to discover. It's science pure, made up in a way that you can learn a lot. I think you could spend a week in Munich and still not have seen everything. Well, people prefer to look out for art and palaces and beergardens, but if you are interested in science, it's a must. I loved most the demonstration of lightnings, which is several times a day, very loud but also very impressive. But there's also chemistry, computing, ships, mining, architecture, cars, space (including a soius capsule), astronomy and so much more. Just be sure to take good shoes with you - you'll make a lot of km! And if you want to continue after your child and wife get tired - let them spend the next day in the zoo, which is much bigger than the Wilhelma in Stuttgart and has lots of playgrounds and several places to meet the animals directly.
There are 53 computers running it because a lot of what happens is not set in a fixed cycle (day/night is) but will be adapted on the fly if stuff happens. Model cars will recognize when their batteries are low and go to a recharching station, trains will see irregularities and take themselves to the garage, with other stuff taking their place. When "Knuffingen Airport" had its millionth (!) plane landing, they weren't even sure which plane it was going to be. They set up for their favorite (Lufthansa A380) and it ended up like that but if one other plane found that its tire pressure wasn't correct or similar, it could have been a different one. Because in the end the computers decide what will work.
4:40 Have you found some of the Easter eggs for parents? Like for example the two people having sex in a field and a peeping Tom taking photos from nearby? XD
Hi Jonathan, you really enjoyed the Miniarue Wunderland! Did you spot the little explict details and szenes, but then you should have an additional youruve-channel "The Black Forest Adults"🙃 best regards Ralf
They even build dozens of easter eggs into the dioramas. They are mostly german heritage, like the homage to a famous song named "Ein Bett im Kornfeld" or a nod to the famous childrens book "Häschenschule" (rabbit's school), but they also recreated some movie scenes, record covers and other famous moments in history or litterature.
If you are into trains there are at least 2 spots that instantly come into my mind "DB museum Nürnberg" and the "Verkehrshaus" in Luzern in Switzerland. Also if you enjoy anything about engineering, mechaniks and inventions you have to visit the "Deutsche Museum" in Munich, which is by far the best museum in germany maybe even of europe, or at least there at the top and easily on the same level as the smithonians in washington.
I visit the wonderland 4 times and it's amazing every time. By the way I am a woman around 44 years and not interested in modelbahn. But I will visit in the future. All people found something to have fun to look. You should go again in a few years when your son is oder.
Yes, isn’t it amazing! Hearing now that you, Jonathan, had your own train sets as a child I feel kind of stupid about my post on Instagram. I can definitely see you and Jack set us up your own train set in the future! And wow! That’s quite a bike challenge you’re planning in August. I wish you all the best for training and doing it! I rode up the St. Gotthard Pass in Switzerland when I was 17 on a long bike tour from Hamburg to Varese, Italy. We also rode up into the Black Forest, our first real mountain experience, and then a few days later up into the Apls. In the Black Forest we rode up from Freiburg to Titisee and then back down to Schaffhausen. From there past Zürich and Lucerne to the St. Gotthard Pass. It was great! And so much fun to ride down from there an entire day to Bellinzona.
The Miniatur Wunderland also has a tv show! It's really fascinating to see all the model building and construction and repair jobs that goes on behind the scenes
Was waiting on this, I've read in an answer from you to someone suggesting it on the other Hamburg video that you already visited the MiWuLa and will show it in your video. I was so curious about Jack's and your reaction.
Miniatur Wunderland??? Es dürfte dem Grunde nach keine Frage mehr sein, dass ein Besuch in Hamburg mittlerweile zum Pflichtprogramm gehört. Genauso wie der Schellfischposten!
I think Jack is still too young for this one, but once he gets older you should check out Galaxy Erding. Erding is a small town in bavaria I think, known for beer. Galaxy Erding is the biggest indoor "Rutschenwelt" in Germany and I think in Europe too. But it is more fun for teenagers, for young children not so much
I really loved the cut from real world footage over to the model railway in the intro. A totally unexpected WOW moment, even more so because the pace of the intro hardly allowed time to think about it. Genius!
This intro including the video wall in the command center has something of a "Truman Show" factor in it ;-) What is real, what is a replica of the reality and how is it controlled ;-)
On an average I spend 6 hours at MiWuLa every time. After the first hour checking out the new segments I go on a hunt for the thousands of little in-jokes that are hidden throughout the MiWuLa. I especially like the airport. When you see on the flight schedule Hoth as destination that's the hint that the Millennium falcon is scheduled.
When we went, we spent 6 hours there ( had only planned for 3) and after I saw everything, we went back for a second round after a lady there told us about all the "surprises", to look out to find people doing what comes naturally and some other risqué scenes. I took photos to show my friends back home. The details are simply amazing. One of the best places to visit in Germany.
Hallo Superfamilie ein Moin aus Hamburg ! Ein Besuch im Wunderland ist Pflicht wenn man in Hamburg ist ,und das nicht nur für Kinder ! Ein Erlebnis das einem im Gedächtnis bleibt ! Vielleicht besucht ihr Hamburg ja bei Gelegenheit noch einmal ,es gibt noch soviel anderes zu Sehen ! Viel Spaß im neuen Haus auch wenn noch viel Arbeit bevor steht ! 🤗Alles gute für euch☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
Suggestion: Visit the MiWuLa again, but this time with your wife. Other places to visit are the Technik-Museum in Sinsheim and the Technik-Museum in Speyer. The Europa-Park in Rust is very good. The islands in the North Sea are charming, try Föhr or Amrum. The Archäologischer Park Xanten can also be recommended. Visit the Vulkaneifel region, especially Mayen, Laacher See and Pulvermaar (including Römerberg and Strohner Maarchen). Not far away from that is the Nürburgring. Here is a general hint: Look at smaller destinations close to the autobahn when travelling by car. My trips to the Steinhuder Meer, Mayen, Windsbornkrater and Lindenstumpf followed job interviews, they were not the main reason for the trips.
The Miniatur Wonderland is a dream of a playground for everyone who loves to play with trains and miniatures. But you cant imagine how much work it is to keep this area clean :D I dont want to be that one who have to clean the areas :D
Some Dutch friends of us have worked and lived in Hamburg and when we came to visit them they took us to Miniatur Wunderland. It was a very fun visit. Seeing you there brought back memories.
Double upload week, sweet! Thanks for showing us this incredible Wunderland, Jonathan. If you ever liked trains or minature worlds you get a kick out of this. The little kid in me comes to light, too when I see this. It's nice to let it out once in a while. There's no wonder like child like wonder. Nice to see you made it to the new home. When you show it, don't forget the Technikraum. (Ha, as if you would forget that. I don't think so). Not many homes I know have one and I wonder what it does.
Since I'm now retired, I actually bought a year ticket to Miniatur Wunderland and went there three times this year...so far. I was there for the first time in 2003 or so, when much of their initial neighbourhoods were created from commercially available plastic models (Faller, Kibri, Vollmer) but it was mind-blowing even then. And the love of detail and individuality of their presentation has increased ever since. They have started overhauling some of their oldest sections for a while, and it really gets better with every change. I first went there because I was a model railroad buff who just couldn't find time to build another train set in spite of having a lot of material. But the funny thing was that for me, the trains in Wunderland played a very much secondary role. I hardly noticed them. There is so much other detail that you can discover. A favourite of mine is in the "Scandinavian" section that also has remote-controlled ships crossing a non-descript sea - probably the Baltic - that is filled with real water. There is a scene outside a typically Swedish wooden home where a little girl with red hair is lifting up a white horse with black polka dots. Or in the Venice set, a scene from "Moonraker" with James Bond in his motorized gondola being pursued by killers after having cut another boat in half. And don't get me started on the airport. It is called "Knuffingen" Airport (the fantasy name for the first town they built), but it is totally modelled after Hamburg Airport. And if you take a picture in the dark, you can't tell the difference from a night view of the real thing. However, Hamburg Airport, unlike this, does not have the Millennium Falcon actually taking off to Tattooine in their flight plan. I really ought to stop now, but everybody should check Miniatur Wunderland's extensive RU-vid channel. Latest additions: Patagonia and the Antarctic. Priceless. PS: @TypeAshton - why was this just a "Dude Day", Jonathan? I'm sure that Ashton would have appreciated this as well. We should be past the notion that trains are something exclusively for boys. And as I said, there is a lot more than trains there!
I saw that the insta360 has a Leica lens on it. When you like to know more about the company behind it who invented 35mm photography, you may want to come to Wetzlar where this all started and where you can visit the Leica museum. And Wetzlar has also a nice little old town with an unfinished cathedral and a relationship to Germany‘s greatest poet Goethe, who once was an Assessor in Wetzlar, place of the „Reichskammergericht“, and place where he got inspired to write one of the most influential novels of the time of „Sturm und Drang“. And you can also combine a visit of Wetzlar with the palace in Weilburg, the castle in Braunfels and the most beautiful old town with a castle on top of the hill in Marburg.
Hallo Jonathan! Ich war ebenfalls im Miniatur Wunderland dieses Jahr im April. Der Aufzug war in der Tat etwas seltsam, hast du probiert auf 1 zu drücken? ;) Falls du es bemerkt hast, waren auf der Scheibe des Kontrollzentrums Stellenausschreibungen und ich war so frei nachzufragen: als Maschinenbauingenieur (bin selber auch einer) ist man für den Job geeignet, aber man muss sich auf eine geringere Bezahlung einstellen und dass man wie ein Affe im Zoo beobachtet wird ;) Empfehlung für weitere "Zug"-Ausflüge: Im Karlsruher Schlosspark lässt es sich sehr schön Picknicken, es gibt auch einige Spielplätze und an Wochenenden fährt ein Schmalspur-Dampfzug durch den Park. Etwas weiter nördlich bei Wiesloch-Walldorf gibt es den Verein Feldbahn- und Industriemuseum (mit der Bahn sehr gut zu erreichen). An öffentlichen Tagen zugänglich (z.B. jetzt am Sonntag) und auch einiges zum Entdecken und Anfassen. Grüße aus Bruchsal
I suppose you will have to visit the Wunderland with Jack regularly 😁 By the way - next time show your audience the figures and scenes - nearly every scene tells an individual story. I was amazed how many different figures they built. There shall even be a little scene how to make babies 😉
I don't know where you guys are based, but in Germany you have to clearly mark the entire video segment with "Produktplatzierung" or "Werbung", even if you don't get money for mentioning the brand/product. Just getting it for free already is enough so to be safe, I'd always follow these laws. It is unlikely but you could get into legal trouble (if based in Germany)
There is a notification at the start of the video that there is a paid product placement within this video, it is a setting we make sure to click while uploading. If your language settings are set to German, this should be translating into German as well. ❤️
Since you have called the Miniatur Wunderland as "heaven", be careful when visiting the Deutsches Museum in Munich. You could awake in Nirwana ;-) i.e. this museum is a huge paradise for scientists and engineers with hundreds of interactive mockups and live scientific demostrations. As being interested in technologies I loved it, I think you'll love that. I just found Colmar, a hop away from your home Freiburg. It is the birthplace of the creator of the New York's Statue Of Liberty, and the town honors him with a model of that statue - nearly 40 ft. (12 m) tall, in the center of a roundabout traffic. That could be a stunnng video motif. Colmar with the old town and museums itself is worth a day trip, along with the delicious locale (french) cuisine.
I agree with you about the museum in Munich, but: Large parts of the Deutsches Museum are currently under construction. These renovation works are planned to last until 2028. Meanwhile you can visit the "outposts" of the museum dedicated to traffic and aviation.
How far away are you from Stuttgart? The Wilhelma there should for sure be worth a visit. A combination of a botanical and zoological garden, one of the largest in europe in this combination. Also the only state run one in germany i think.
and soon you should visit it again when the opening of the 3 dimensional, digital visitor's compartment took place. New attraction -> you can participate in the Wonderland experience as a "minifigure". The team constructed a digital space where you take the perspective of a character and drive through the landscape.
A few years ago I spent a few hours at the Miniaturwunderland and was quite impressed by a rather small model: it showed the development of a town over a span of several hundred years in four distinct steps. Truly amazing, I wandered around the exhibit several times to take it all in. Big respect to the builders of these exhibits! PS: I'd love to see something along these lines for e.g. Manhattan, N.Y. in 1500 - 1700 - 1900 - 2020 ...
They also recreated existing train stations, usch as Hamburg Hbf (Central Station) and a few more, with lots of details exactly as in reality. It's not just a bunch of trains, but it's also the details and cleverness in it, which make it mindblowing.
The Miwula has a really good RU-vid channel where they show behind the scenes stuff and what they are working on. You may like the content they upload there.
Most newer videos are about small daily things, but there are overview videos or videos about the airport or working on new segments and other topics. And there are videos about making south america... There are video shots where you cannot distinguish the model world from the reality... especially when they filmed it a bit from below against the blue sky - and then a big hand comes into the view where you would not expect, that this was a small 1:87 model world... so mind blowing...
can't wait for Jonathan's challenge in august. Btw Jonathan and Jack may one day build their own railway in the new house. It's gonna be special father-and-son-time.
What? That’s incredible! Love jacks reactions, such a thrill to share that with Jonathan. Hey Jonathan good luck on your massive bike challenge, hope you smash it. 🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️🚴♂️9 times, but please take care of yourself first and foremost. Love your new camera gadget, lots of fun creating footage for your videos. All the best guys. 😜😜
there used to be a documentary/TV-Show with the 2 brothers that built the Miniatur Wunderland on german TV i watched relegiously like 15-20 years ago. Showed the nuts and bolts, the constructing of single moving cars up to the moving ships and whole Sections
@@Streber2000 yes. Be prepared though to sit through hours and hours and weekends with starry eyes and the biggest happy grin on your face continously. I sure did back in september 2020 when I first learned about it. I always liked my brothers railway track more than any dolls as a girl :)
Last year I was in Hamburg as a school class graduation trip. We also visited this place. I liked the airport the most, maybe because I'm an aviation fan :D
Oh ja, das Miniaturwunderland ist außergewöhnlich. Vor über 50 Jahren habe ich auf den ersten Endlosbögen Computerpapier auch die Welt als Gleisplan gezeichnet... und die beiden Zwillinge haben das in Hamburg verwirklicht! Ihr fragt nach Tipps? Hier in der Ortenau (nördlich von Freiburg) z.B. die Vogtsbauernhöfe... dann in Haslach das Silberbergwerk (dass im Badnerlied besungen wird)...
Cool. Immer wieder toll. Jonathan und Jack - haben danach sicherlich tolle Träume 😴🚂…..gehabt . Liebe Grüße aus dem Sauerland. Home of 🌲⛰🌲….🚴🏻🚴🏻♀️Mountainbike
If you want to visit a place where the trains are a bit bigger, I can recommend a visit to the Bahn Museum Nuremberg. There you will be at the place where the railroad in Germany started, with the first line between Nuremberg and Fürth, which was opened in 1835.
Aww jack is really growing up 😊 it’s always a pleasure watching your videos and sharing your unique experiences in Germany and other places of the world 🙏
Moin ihr drei! Jaaaaaaa, das Miniatur Wunderland ist wirklich unfassbar gut. 👍 Wenn man sich die Zeit nimmt und versucht die vielen Szenen, Details, Gimmicks und Knopfdrücker zu finden und auszuprobieren, braucht man locker mehr als 2 Tage! Egal welche Szene man sich aussucht, es gibt extrem vieles zu sehen und vor allem die ganzen bewegten Figuren wie zum Beispiel im Sambadrom in Brasilien! Die naturtreue ist phänomenal und der Tag/Nacht Wechsel verändert nochmal die jeweilige Kulisse. Demnächst wird auch die Rennstrecke von Monaco mit autonom fahrenden Rennwagen zu sehen sein, die Anforderungen an die Fahrplatinen sind so komplex (6 Layer inklusive Hochstromteil für das Fahrfeld) das die weltgrößten Platinen Hersteller es nach mehreren Jahren aufgegeben haben und nun eine kleine Firma in Deutschland - die B&B Gruppe aus Sachsen - es geschafft hat! Das wird nochmal einen drauf setzen und wieder einen Guinness Buch Rekord bringen. Das MiWuLa hat auch einen eigenen RU-vid Kanal und zeigt auch Einblicke hinter die Kulissen die einem vermitteln mit welchem Herz, Verstand und Geduld die ganzen Mitarbeiter dieses Wunderwerk am Leben erhalten und es ständig verbessern und erweitern. Glückwunsch zu eurer Tour und viel Erfolg mit eurem neuen Haus... 👍🌞🌞🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️🙋♂️
