Recently we had the opportunity to visit Europa-Park, the largest theme park in Germany and second most popular theme resort in all of Europe.
This was the perfect opportunity for us to rekindle our childhood passion for rides. With over eleven different roller coasters alone we quickly realized we had never been to such a big theme park.
What we found cool was that the theme park was divided into different European countries. If you can't visit all of Europe going to Europa Park is like getting little slivers of it all.
Accommodating up to 50,000 guests per day, we were fortunate we didn't come during peak season; however, it was still crowded.
Overall, the weather was perfect, the rides were fun and it is an experience we won't forget anytime soon.
This is a bit of a surprise. We have an eight hour wait for a flight in Frankfurt, so instead of just hanging around in the airport, which was our original plan, we decided to drop our bags off and come into the city.
That pretty much wraps up our little visit to Frankfurt. We spent maybe three or four hours just walking around and it was really nice to just see the city without much of an agenda.
I came here with quite low expectations to be perfectly honest. I had heard more or less this is just a financial hub but it ended up being quite charming here in Frankfurt and I'm definitely going to miss Germany. I've had a wonderful time traveling around the country.
We aren't having much luck with the weather today. It is really rainy here in Freiburg. It is Easter weekend but we are out an exploring and we want to show you the city. Let's go have a tour.
One of my first impressions of Freiburg is that it is such a great city to walk around in. That's all we've been doing so far. It's very picturesque. There are cobbled streets and it is also very historic.
Thankfully, the weather has shifted dramatically for the better. Earlier we had been rained out, so we had to head back into the hotel because it was cold and windy. Now we're seeing a few patches of blue skies, so we're going to keep exploring around Freiburg.
This is part of our Travel in Germany series. We're making a series of videos showcasing German culture, German arts, German foods, German religion and German people.

Places to see in ( Ludwigsburg - Germany )
Places to see in ( Ludwigsburg - Germany )
Ludwigsburg is a city just north of Stuttgart, in southwest Germany. The baroque Ludwigsburg Residential Palace houses ceramics and fashion museums. Its landscaped gardens are known as “Blooming Baroque.” Surrounded by woodland, the 18th-century Ludwigsburg Favorite Palace, once Duke Eberhard Ludwig’s summer residence, has neoclassical interiors. Northwest, Monrepos Lakeside Palace was a hunting lodge of the Duke.
At the start of the 18th century Duke Eberhard Louis of Württemberg built an “Ideal City” up the Neckar River from Stuttgart to cement his absolute power. A Baroque urban plan was put into action, with a grid system of streets around a monumental market square. By the time Eberhard Louis passed away in 1733 his namesake city already had 6,000 residents.
Three centuries later Ludwigsburg is still a city of palaces, ruled by Eberhard Louis’ 452-room Residenzschloss, and constellated by summer retreats and hunting lodges. You won’t help but be intoxicated by Ludwigsburg’s glamorous Baroque and Rococo design, parterre gardens, classical concerts and exhibitions of period art and handicrafts.
Between 1704 and 1733 Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg built himself a Baroque palace of outlandish dimensions of Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg , and it would be one of the largest of the period in Germany. Schloss Ludwigsburg is enclosed on three sides by 30 hectares of gardens with French, English and Medieval designs. The most distinguished is the French parterre immediately south of the palace.
A branch of the Landesmuseum Württemberg, the fashion museum is set in the palace’s banquet hall. In chronological order there are more than 700 pieces of clothing for women, men and children from the 18th to the 20th century. Moments up the slope from Residenzschloss Ludwigsburg is the Baroque hunting lodge and summer residence ordered in the 1710s by Eberhard Louis, Duke of Württemberg. The palace, with balustrades, stone vases and statues was restored in 1980 and is open for 20-minute tours of its exuberant interiors.
The sizeable royal ceramic collection is also presented in the Residenzschloss. In the centre of Ludwigsburg’s pre-planned latticework of intersecting streets is the spacious marketplace, built in the 1710s. This symmetrical square measures 110 metres by 80 and was carefully plotted to be much higher than the Residenzschloss, which is close by to the northeast.
In the 1750s Duke Charles Eugene built himself a summer residence of Seeschloss Monrepos a few kilometres northwest of Schloss Ludwigsburg and Schloss Favorite, but linking to those properties via stately pedestrian avenues. One corner of the Blühendes Barock that merits a separate mention is the fairytale garden in the Ostgarten (East Garden). This was created after 1959 when the head gardener Albert Schöchle discovered a Dutch fairytale garden near Tilburg.
When Duke Carl Eugene built a six-kilometre long wall around Ludwigsburg between 1758 and 1763 he constructed gatehouses to control the entrances to the city. As there hasn’t been a burial here for decades, the Alter Friedhof is now a historical monument.
The last of the museums in the Residenzschloss is Barockgalerie , and no less worthy of a visit, is the collection of German and Italian painting from the 17th and 18th centuries. In the oppressive confines of the former Ludwigsburg prison is an often grisly exhibition of artefacts for corrections and justice.
The city museum documents Ludwigsburg’s many sides, as a royal residence, an industrial city, a hotbed for the arts and as a garrison. From May to July Ludwigsburg puts on one of the oldest cultural festivals in the German-speaking world. In December a Baroque-themed Christmas Market lights up the market square in Ludwigsburg.
( Ludwigsburg - Germany ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Ludwigsburg . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Ludwigsburg - Germany

Travel Frankfurt, Germany - St. Bartholomew Cathedral of Frankfurt
Take a tour of St. Bartholomew Cathedral in Frankfurt, Germany -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats.
Frankfurt's famous institutions have made it a European and World center for over a thousand years.
The ancient St. Bartholomew's Cathedral is most certainly counted among those institutions.
Holy Roman Emperors, and then German Imperials, were crowned here for over 200 years.
The cathedral was reconstructed after being damaged in WWII.
Interestingly, it has never served as the seat of a bishop.
Its role in German and world history has made St. Bartholomew's one of Europe's most important historical sites.

EXPLORING FRANKFURT'S beautiful main square (Römerberg), Germany
SUBSCRIBE: - Frankfurt's main square (Römerberg), Germany. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. Frankfurt, a central German city on the Main River, is a major financial hub. It's the birthplace of writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, whose home is now the Goethe-Haus museum – which, like much of the city, was destroyed during World War II and rebuilt afterward. The reconstructed Altstadt (Old Town) is home to lively Römerberg Plaza, which hosts an annual Christmas market.
Würzburg, Bavaria, Germany - city tour
Würzburg is a city in the region of Franconia, northern Bavaria, Germany. Located on the Main River, it is the capital of the Regierungsbezirk of Lower Franconia. The regional dialect is Franconian. Würzburg lies about equidistant from Frankfurt am Main and from Nuremberg. It's known for lavish baroque and rococo architecture, particularly the 18th-century Residenz palace, with ornate rooms, a huge fresco by Venetian artist Tiepolo and an elaborate staircase. Home to numerous wine bars, cellars and wineries, Würzburg is the center of the Franconian wine country, with its distinctive bocksbeutel (bottles with flattened round shapes).
Würzburger Residenz is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the vast compound near the center of the town was commissioned by two prince-bishops, the brothers Johann Philipp Franz and Friedrich Karl von Schönborn.
Festung Marienberg is a fortress on Marienberg, the hill to the west of the town centre, overlooking the whole town area as well as the surrounding hills. Most current structures date to the Renaissance and Baroque periods, but the foundations of the chapel go back to the 8th century.
Alte Mainbrücke was built 1473–1543 to replace the destroyed Romanesque bridge dated from 1133. In two phases, beginning in 1730, the bridge was adorned with twelve 4.5 meter statues of saints and historically important figures like John of Nepomuk, Mary and Saint Joseph, Charlemagne and Pepin the Short.
The Rathaus or city hall of Würzburg differs from those of most Imperial Cities in that it was not a sumptuous edifice purpose-built in Renaissance style. Rather, the motley collection of buildings and wings reflects the fact that after 1400 the city was permanently under the control of the bishop who did not allow a representative new building.

Geographische Lage Bearbeiten
Die Höhenburg wurde vor gut 850 Jahren mit ihrem gewaltigen Bergfried hoch über dem Main erbaut.
Heute ist sie nicht nur ein beliebtes Ausflugsziel zwischen Würzburg und Aschaffenburg, sondern vor allem ein christliches Bildungs- und Tagungshaus in freier Trägerschaft.
Geschichte
Von 1150 bis 1919
Westpalas mit Aborterker und Bergfried
Die ältesten Teile der Burg stammen aus dem Jahre 1150, Gründer war Markward II. von Grumbach (urkundlich seit etwa 1120 nachweisbar, † 9. Februar 1171). Nachdem das ursprüngliche Adelsgeschlecht der Grumbacher im Jahre 1243 mit Albert von Grumbach, Herr zu Rothenfels, ausgestorben war, ging die Burg Rothenfels über seine Tochter Adelheid, die mit dem Grafen Ludwig von Rieneck verheiratet war, an die Grafen von Rieneck. Diese wiederum verkauften die Burg 1328 an das Ministerialengeschlecht der von Wolfskeel, die sie jedoch bereits 1333 an das Hochstift Würzburg veräußerten und auf Schloss Burggrumbach übersiedelten. Die dort ansässige Linie der Wolfskeels nannten sich fortan Wolfskeel von Grumbach und später, wie die ursprünglichen Besitzer, nur noch Herren von Grumbach nannten.
Während der Säkularisation 1803 fiel das würzburgische Rothenfels an das Fürstenhaus Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg, 1806 durch Mediatisierung an das Fürstentum Aschaffenburg, 1813 dann an das Königreich Bayern.
Seit 1919
Rothenfels, Burg von der Stadt aus-001.jpg
Die Geschichte der Burg Rothenfels als christliches Bildungshaus begann 1919 mit dem Verkauf der Burg durch das Fürstenhaus Löwenstein an den Quickborn. Über die Grenzen hinaus bekannt wurde die Burg durch das Wirken des berühmten Theologen Romano Guardini (1885–1968), der von 1927 bis 1939 Burgleiter war. Die Kapelle der Burg wurde unter Guardinis Führung zum Herz der Liturgischen Bewegung, die wesentliche Ideen des Zweiten Vatikanischen Konzils vorwegnahm. Inspiriert vom Dessauer Bauhaus und der Studienzeit unter dem Baumeister Hans Poelzig in Berlin, gestaltete der Architekt Rudolf Schwarz zu dieser Zeit die Innenräume wie auch viele der Einrichtungsgegenstände.
Nach dem Kauf von Burg Rothenfels durch den Quickborn im Februar 1919 richteten Klemens Neumann mit vielen Freiwilligen die Burg her für den Ersten Deutschen Quickborntag im August 1919. Die dann jährlich stattfindenden Quickborntage machten Burg Rothenfels bekannt als einen Ort, an dem Jungen und Mädchen, junge Frauen und Männer gemeinsam Werkwochen aus christlichem Geist gestalteten und neue Wege erprobten, besonders in der Gottesdienstgestaltung, der Schriftlesung, im Gemeinschaftsleben, in Musik und Tanz.
Die Ausstattung der Kapelle mit (heute noch existierenden) Sakralgeräten oblag unter Schwarz’scher Leitung einer „Werkgemeinschaft“ aus Lehrern und Schülern der Kunstgewerbeschule Aachen, nämlich Fritz Schwerdt für den großen Ewiglichtleuchter, Anton Schickel und Fritz Schwerdt für das kleine Kruzifix bzw. Hein Minkenberg für den zugehörigen Elfenbeinkorpus. Die Entwürfe für Altar, Altarleuch
