Will we manage to experience all of Northern Germany’s attractions in just under a week? I ‘m from Schleswig-Holstein, and Julie has never been to the real north. Welcome back. My name is Franziskus, and I’m taking you on a journey through the entire north. We have a checklist that we have to tick off by the end of the week. Are you excited? Yes, great. It’s just before 6 a.m., as you can probably tell, at Cologne Central Station, because we’re about to take the ICE 618, which goes straight through to Kiel. What do you think about the decision to take the train so early in the morning? We didn’t sleep much, but we’ll survive. It didn’t cost that much, and we’ll get there at 11:30 a.m. Exactly. The train leaves here at 6:09 a.m., and we’ll arrive at Kiel Central Station at 11:23 a.m. But that’s not our final stop for today; after that, we’re continuing on to a city on the Baltic Sea. Many of you can already guess which city we’re going to. There, we’ll tick off the first item on our checklist as soon as we arrive. We’re in now. What ‘s passing by here is truly incredible. This is an old Trans-Europe Express. A glimpse into the golden age of rail travel in Europe. That’s definitely on my bucket list someday. And now we’re off. 5 hours and 14 minutes. Hopefully, everything will be alright. All the way to Kiel Central Station. It’s bitterly cold here. With our stop in Osnabrück, the first hour of the journey is over. It’s another four hours to Kiel. A few minutes late, we’ve now arrived in Münster. Officially, this is our last stop in North Rhine-Westphalia before we continue on via Osnabrück and Bremen to Hamburg. Julie, who has also never eaten currywurst in the DB onboard restaurant—such a classic— will be making up for it now. I’d recommend the vegan currywurst with fries. Would you say 9 a.m. is a good time to eat currywurst with fries? Perfect. By the way, we’re just arriving in Bremen. Our last stop before we get to the Hamburg area. The vegan currywurst used to be too soft for me. The sauce is slated, but it seems to have a new recipe now. It really tastes like a sausage from before. A bit guilty, the same kind of crunch as halloumi, but I think it’s really delicious. A clear upgrade from how it used to be. We’re just arriving in Hamburg. We’re officially in Hamburg now. Let’s move on now. We’re just arriving at Hamburg Central Station, where we ‘ll continue for a short stop onwards to the real north. We’re now in Neumünster. This is officially the penultimate stop of our journey. A special feature here is that the people in the very front carriage can’t get off directly here because the platform in Neumünster is simply too short. A warm welcome to the real north, and with that, we’ve actually arrived at Kiel Central Station, right on time—I haven’t said that in a long time. We’re now continuing on with the Stadler FLIRT battery-powered train, which I believe is only available here in this region, in Schleswig-Holstein, to the Baltic Sea resort of Eckernförde, right by the sea. Are you excited? Yes. The previous train was slightly delayed, so it’s supposed to leave later now. This is the first time I’ve experienced this with the Nordbahn. But we have a great seat here. This train is, as always, fantastic: table, power outlets, Wi-Fi. I only dream of trains like this in North Rhine-Westphalia. How does it feel to see the Baltic Sea with my own eyes for the first time? Beautiful. Some of you know that I grew up right here, in Eckernförde. And we ‘ve officially arrived: Eckernförde. This is officially the northernmost point you’ve ever been. Exciting. The first item on our checklist is to eat a fish sandwich. The northern German snack dish, whatever. And for that, we’re going to the best shop in town, in my opinion. Have a nice day. Bye. Taste test. I have fried fish with garlic sauce. I realize again that it’s my favorite fish sandwich. Perfect fried fish, perfect pink garlic sauce, and such a crunchy bread that’s not too dry. Today is day 2. We’re in Eckernförde. Tomorrow is sure to be spectacular. We’re at a place where, among other places, I was over a year ago, or maybe two, I’m not sure. Today we’re exploring the town, and we have three things on our checklist. By the way, we’re here on the wooden bridge now. That ‘s where you enter Eckernförde, and in front of us is the Rundspeicher (round storage facility). I’d say that’s one of Schleswig-Holstein’s landmarks. We’re now at the first attraction of the day: the Eckernförde candy factory. A place where candy with chocolate is made, and it ‘s well-known here far and wide. Many people who I tell, “Yes, I come from the Baltic Sea,” say, “Candy factory.” And we’re going in there now and getting some candy. We have some candy that we ‘ve just tried, and some chocolate to try, which we’re going to do now: the “Ab ins Meer” chocolate. It’s made with salt and has a really cool decoration. Delicious with the salt, right? Mhm. It’s a really great, light salty note. Very good quality. So we’ve officially ticked off the first of our three stops. Now we’re on to the next ones, and for that we’re off to the sea. Ah, your first reaction to the sea in nah? Yes. When you ‘re at the sea, it’s essential that you go in, but it’s only about 18 degrees right now. I think the sea is much too cold. We’re going in anyway, or rather, we’re going in with our feet . I think that counts as well for ticking off this point. I’m such a huge fan of walking on sand because it scratches your feet so much. We’re now officially going into the Baltic Sea. It ‘s so cold. I haven’t been in here for years, right? Do you feel like you ‘ve arrived in Northern Germany now? I feel right now, as if I were a Northern German myself. So we’re out of the water and have officially completed this point. So now we come to the last point for today: drinking a beer on the beach. You can drink it from a bottle, of course, but here in Eckernförde you can even drink draft beer on the beach. Are you excited? Yes. We have it here now—we’re on the beach, right by the water. This is Eckernförde Pils, which is brewed locally. It tastes good. I’m not a huge beer drinker. I drink Kölsch, but otherwise it’s a bit difficult. This is delicious. I like this. I also think it’s very tasty. I’m not the biggest fan of Pils, but this is good. I think the big factor is that it’s on tap and tastes very fresh. We’ve ticked off point 3 on our checklist for today. Tomorrow we’re off to, let’s say, an island, and we’re even leaving Germany. What are you looking forward to tomorrow? Lots of train travel? Yes. We have the next day. We’re currently in Schleswig at the most beautiful train station there is. Here’s a Eurocity to Copenhagen. Schleswig is much better connected to the international rail network than Kiel, for example, when it comes to Scandinavia. We also want to go to Scandinavia today, as our first stop. For that, we’re off to Husum – again on the Stadler FLIRT. Our journey today begins, and Julie is heading even further north than she’s ever been. Just a few minutes later, we’re stopping at Jübek station, the penultimate station on this route, and we’re now simply driving for 25 minutes through the countryside without the train stopping once. That’s obviously very good for avoiding delays, but in terms of infrastructure, it was somehow very, very silly. We’ve now arrived in Husum . We’re changing trains to platform 4 because our next train is about to depart: the R6. Some of you will definitely know it. Now we’re off to the northernmost station you can reach with the Deutschlandticket, and I’ve already been there for my most successful video: The longest route possible with the Deutschlandticket. And today we’re going there again. Oh, the train still has really good seating quality, but somehow Schleswig-Holstein is now—it has to be said, it wasn’t so good back then with the LINT trains—pretty good and comfortable. And These trains are also currently being rebranded and renovated inside. They’ll also get this nah.sh design, which the Nordbahn has in Schleswig-Holstein, for example. Since the terrain here is getting flatter and flatter, we notice we’re getting closer and closer to the North Sea. The Baltic Sea region is very hilly due to terminal moraines from the Ice Age. And this is the northern Germany that many people imagine when they think of northern Germany: just flat and eventually the sea. Lots of fields. It has something to it, but I think I prefer where I grew up. I haven’t been to the North Sea yet. I think I’ll have to make up my mind right away. Yes. We arrived in Niebüll exactly on time. The last time I traveled here, it was different. I took a used DB train that had a broken door. Accordingly, the delay was so extreme that I almost missed the train to Tønder—it’s mandatory to travel to Denmark—and then had to wait here for two hours . The trains now run every hour. We still have to wait another hour, but then we’ll take the train there straight away. By the way, we’re traveling on this fancy old train—I’m not sure exactly which model it is—so the train nerds among you are welcome to write in the comments. This is an Intercity, by the way, because Niebüll, as a very small town, is still connected to the Intercity network because the Intercities go all the way to Sylt. What’s a bit crazy is that there are trains going to Cologne, Stuttgart, and somewhere else. We’ll get on the train right now, and then we’ll be in Denmark, a country you’ve never been to before. Yes. This is the shortest train I ‘ve ever seen in my entire life. By the way, this train is operated by RDC, who also run the night train to Stockholm. I think it looks really nice here. I really like such a beautiful old interior. As we can see, the train information display still starts with Windows 7, but it’s running now. By the way, there are a lot of car trains here in Niebüll, because the car train is the main means of transport for getting to Sylt. There’s the red car train from Deutsche Bahn and the blue car train from RDC. And at 6:12 PM sharp, our journey continues to Tønder. It’s also interesting that everything is announced in German and Danish, and there are about two stops before Tønder. The journey takes 18 minutes. The stops before that are on-demand stops, like a bus. If you press the button there, the train stops. And we’re officially in Denmark. Welcome to a new country you’ve never been to before. We’re officially in Denmark, and it feels completely surreal to be back here, because exactly two years ago I was right here. This is officially the northernmost train station you can go to with the Deutschlandticket. Admittedly, Tønder is just such a small town, quite similar to northern Germany, but it’s still a small Danish town, as you can see from the many queues here. Now that we’re in Denmark, we’ve officially ticked off another item on our checklist, the first of two today. Namely, that we’re in Denmark. Yes. Yes. Denmark. I had a Franz hot dog. Yeah. Of course, I got a Danish specialty here. It’s a Franz hot dog. There’s the classic one, the one with the top open. This is a more special version. It’s just a kind of bread, a bit toasted, with that stuffed in the top. Baguette-like. It also has a mayo and mustard sauce in it. Let’s try it now. Mhm. It’s delicious. It’s great with the sauce. It does n’t fall apart, just without the fried onions, unfortunately. Faxe Kondi is one of my favorite drinks. It’s like the Danish Sprite. It usually comes in green. I’ve never had the orange version . I’ll try that. It definitely smells very orange, like Italian sodas. It tastes like Italian sodas, too. Less carbonation, I really like it. It’s iced coffee. I shook it well, and now I have expected. Also write on it: Shake well, and then this happens. It tastes like one of those iced coffees you get in Germany, and from those plastic deposit cups. I give it a 7.9. Now we’re heading back to Germany, because we want to go to another special place today: checklist item number 2. So now we’re off to the train station. I’m revising my rating from before. I’m giving it a five. With every sip, it gets sweeter and sweeter and somehow it tastes more and more like old milk caramel candies from grandma’s. And now we’re on the same train back to Germany. Here we are again in Niebüll. But we’re only here for a very short time, because now we’re moving on: Sylt. If you’re already in the region, you can definitely take this with you. And Sylt is our second checkmark on the list for today, by the way, and for that we’re taking the R6, which we also took here to Niebüll earlier. I’m just reporting from editing: If you already have YouTube’s new hype function, please use it for this video. You can find the new hype function if you swipe left in the comments section, and that way you can ensure that my video is suggested to more people. With a 12-minute delay, we’re now off towards Westerland. We’ve been driving for about 34 minutes. Beautiful island now on the map. That’s pretty cool. We’re now in Keitum on Sylt. That’s the second-to-last stop on our trip. The next stop is Westerland. What do you think ? We haven’t seen much yet. All I know is that the network was terrible on the way here and that we saw a few houses. They didn’t look that rich before. And we’re officially in Westerland on Sylt. So the second checkpoint on our list for today has been ticked off. But of course, we’re not going back straight away. Instead, we ‘re going to explore the island a bit, maybe have a bite to eat, and then later we’ll head back to Eckernförde. Welcome to Sylt. Mhm. I’ll just walk around the area. I haven’t seen much yet. The small town’s downtown is somehow overrun, but maybe it’s a bit cooler another way. I’m not that impressed right now. I don’t get it yet, but we’ve been here for another seven minutes. Westerland isn’t the most amazing place here either. It’s just a touristy place. There aren’t any rich and beautiful people here. We’re going to get our food now. I’m having the classic prawns with a garlic cocktail sauce, and we’re enjoying it. The weather has turned very rainy here, as is often the case in northern Germany, but that doesn’t really matter because we’re going back anyway. So, next day. Today we have a challenge point. The heraldic animal of Eckernförde is squirrels. So today we’re cycling to the squirrel rescue center. They bring injured squirrels there and nurse them back to health. We’re now at the squirrel rescue center of the Environmental Information Center in Eckernförde. We’ll see if we can see any squirrels. I’m about to cry because they’re so cute. We’re done now. We saw squirrels. It was so cute, wasn’t it? Yes. And the people on TikTok were lying, they said, “Yeah, it didn’t work, they were just watching.” What we saw was the permanent enclosure where squirrels with disabilities come in, ones that aren’t released back into the wild. And then there’s another enclosure where injured squirrels come in so they can be released back into the wild, and then they don’t have as much contact with people. You can support the squirrels with a donation and also become a squirrel sponsor here . So, we’ve ticked the squirrel item off our checklist. It’s Sunday, and we’re in Kiel today. There’s one more obligatory item on our list. We’re up north, so you have to go on a boat trip at least once. Here in Kiel There are boats in public transport that you can simply take with the Deutschlandticket. We are here at Kiel train station and are then heading towards the state parliament. Now we’re off. About 15 minutes, with one stop to our exit point: the Reventlou Bridge. Admittedly, it would be faster by bus , but it’s worth taking the experience because there are only a few places where you can take a boat with the Deutschlandticket. By the way, lots of ferries to Scandinavia also depart from here in Kiel harbor, especially to Sweden, Norway, and so on. If you’re interested in this, please write in the comments. We’re just leaving between Seegarten right now. Hurry, get off! It’s closed back there. There are still bikes and the like, and in Kiel it’s simply part of the public transport system, especially commuter traffic. Many people from Kiel take it to work because it’s faster than a bus to get around the bay. We’ve arrived, and that means the boat trip is also off the list. Let me know in the comments if you know of any other places in Germany where you can take a boat with the Deutschlandticket (Germany Ticket). It’s Monday, our last day. We’re back in Eckernförde today, and before we head back to Cologne tomorrow, there’s one last item on our checklist: to see a lighthouse. And in Eckernförde there’s an old lighthouse. We can get really close to it, and that’s where we’re going now. That’s the lighthouse, it’s there. That’s the yellow and blue one there. That’s the old Eckernförde lighthouse. It’s no longer in use because the harbor expanded in that direction. Over there is the current lighthouse. It’s the colors of the coat of arms of the town of Eckernförde: blue and yellow. What do you think of the lighthouse? Very lighthouse-like. That officially ticks off the last item on our checklist, and then we can head back to Cologne tomorrow. Next day. Today we’re going back to Cologne. Now we’re going to Kiel with the Stadler FLIRT Akku for the last time on this trip, where we’ll take the ICE to Hamburg and from there the ICE again to Cologne. By the way, something special about the train route from Kiel is this amazing view of the Baltic Sea. Do you know a train route that offers just as cool a view? We arrived at Kiel Central Station on time. So we’ve reached the end of our trip. These were nine spots in Schleswig-Holstein. I saw a lot. I got a good impression of northern Germany.
