This German WORLD Wonder is FREE! Road Trip Saxon Switzerland 🇩🇪 BASTEI & Hidden GEM Medieval Town
Is the Bastei Bridge Germany’s ultimate hidden gem? 🇩🇪
We’re kicking off an epic European road trip starting in Hann. Münden, a medieval fairy-tale town with over 700 half-timbered houses. It feels like an open-air museum and was the home of the Brothers Grimm!
Next, we head to Saxon Switzerland (Sächsische Schweiz) to visit the iconic Bastei Bridge (Basteibrücke). Towering 200m above the Elbe River, this sandstone marvel and the nearby Neurathen Castle ruins are absolute bucket-list locations.
Highlights of this trip:
🏰 Exploring the “Medieval Lego” houses of Hann. Münden.
🥾 Hiking the dramatic rock formations of the Bastei.
💎 Best of all: Admission to this world-class bridge is totally FREE!
💰 Budget travel tips: Stays for €35 and meals under €10!
🚁 Stunning drone footage of Germany’s most beautiful nature.
📍 Locations: Hann. Münden, Dresden, and Bastei Bridge (Saxon Switzerland).

hi again Wout this is a really nice hidden gem but are you really going cabo rojo cruise port.
amazing
A beautiful place to relax and get positive energy
If you're looking for new honeymoon destinations, I recommend visiting Al-Ula and the Red Sea Islands project. They're both close to each other, about a 3.5-hour drive. You'll find some YouTubers who have visited them on YouTube.
What distinguishes the Red Sea Islands project from the Maldives is the opportunity to enjoy different romantic experiences amidst the sea, mountains, and desert. Check out resorts like Shebaar, St. Regis Red Sea, The Rock Desert Resort, and Six Senses Southern Dunes, The Red Sea.
It's best to visit Al-Ula in conjunction with the Tantoura Festival, the Ancient Kingdoms Festival, and the Citrus Festival; these festivals take place during the winter. Al-Ula is the city of timeless love, famous for some of the most celebrated love stories, such as the tales of Jamil and Buthaina and Kathir Azza.
Beautiful view from bridge. Thank you for sharing.
Beutiful places ; thank 😊
Amazing video 🎉❤
I was so confused when I saw this video- I had thought u were going back to Sri Lanka and then the gulf nations- so Germany was a surprise. But then I saw adorable little Jens and realized it was a video from the vault! What unbelievable places- so beautiful. Jens sure was a cutie!😊
Premium side of youtube ❤😊
WoW….🎉🎉🎉😮😮
