      I think, Baden-Württemberg is the better version of Bavaria. Green rolling mountains (the alps are too grey), picturesque old towns, vineyards, better weather and better cuisine. Also, I’m devastated that Thüringen is so low on the list. The footage can definitely not live up to what the state has to offer. Magical towns, castles and mountains. Also, Sachsen in heavily underrated. Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is actually not a hidden gem among Germans but apparently among foreigners. I think Nordrhein-Westfalen doesn’t deserve to be so high on the list. The Ruhr area is just a shame for such an allegedly wealthy country. Cologne isn’t an attractive city either and Düsseldorf is quite mediocre. Sure, Nordrhein-Westfalen is more than that but the rest didn’t make up for it.
      Hessen also has more to offer than just Frankfurt. There are plenty of marvellous towns with half-timbered houses and lovely landscapes

      Germans have created one of the greatest civilizations in world history. They should be very proud and never shamed out of it. Every empire and nation, without exception, have had their historical aberrations. History cannot be sanitized. It is what it is. Very nice journey through this fine city.

      Thank you for the wonderful overview of this lesser-known German town! However, the beauty and happiness depicted remind me of their fragility. If we don't take action against Russia now, the conflict could spread, and these charming places might face the same desolation and ruin seen in eastern Ukraine.

      What I would add, as it is cultural Unesco world heritage, is the world famous boys choir (and now there is one for girls too) "Regensburger Domspatzen" meaning "cathedral sparrows of Regensburg". Exspecially recommend the easter week or christmas in the cathedral.
      Also an important fact is the University of Regensburg that adds to the cities attractiveness for younger people.
      And on a last side note: You visited while there was a bit of flooding going on. Usually the island at the old stone bridge is full of young people gathering there in summer.
      It´s part of a lush green belt of parks sprinkled around the city. There is even a special alley at the riverside, that is exspecially beautiful and therefore popular in autumn to take pictures (at "Inselpark Oberer Wöhrd").

      I was in Regensburg new years eve 1998-99 what a crazy thing it was. People literally was running in groups throwing firecrackers at each others on the street. We were playing in the annual hockey tournament, as representive for Sweden/Djurgården. Great city!

      Everything was very good.
      The historical side and the culinary side.
      I would like to try the Wurst and the beer. I am sure it taste amazing, espacially after a long walking tour in the city 👍🏾

      if you ever plan on visiting regensburg you should also take a 1 hour trip by car or train to ingolstadt. ingolstadt is the birthplace of the "Freimaurer" also known as illuminat, the birthplace of frankenstein´s monster and audi has their hq and museum there (if you are interested in cars). also, if you like to learn about historical wars, ingolstadt has some parts of its city defense still visible. and the military museum is housing the oldest stuffed animal in the world, the so called "schwedenschimmel". the horse of the swedish king he was riding during his siege in the 30-year-war (1692)

      나는 독일로부터 멀리 사는 한국인입니다. 나는 당신들의 문화와 가치관 그리고 역사의식을 매우 존경합니다. 도이칠란드가 계속 유지되고 번영하기를 기원합니다.
