I served in Germany during the Cold War, when we used to patrol the Inner German Border that ran through the Harz. The Russians and East Germans had a major communications base on top of the Brocken, from which they eavesdropped on all the NATO activities in the West. Of course, we couldn't visit Wernigrode but we frequently took ski trips to the western Harz during the winter. One of the popular ski runs near Braunlage, on the Wurmberg, used to end against the border fence.

Am I the only (german) who hears Vinegar Ode when Mark says Wernigerode?
I know, the cumulation of syllables in german is difficult, but in this case it's Wernige-rode, because that suffix indicates a village that was build on an uprooted/cleared terrain, where once were woods (just like roda, -rade, -rath, -reuth.
But nevertheless. once again a very good and detailed video, you're a great ambassador of german culture and regions. Love your passion for our country.

Great video, looks really lovely there. I'd never heard of those towns/region, but I want to go now. Jealous too as it's Christmas Day and hot here in Australia. I'm from England and I must admit I never got used to or like it being hot at Christmas. Give me the cold & ideally snow at Xmas time. Regardless, always loving your content and I hope you all have a pleasant Xmas.

After watching this when it first came out in December, I am finally here. And this weekend Quedlinburg is celebrating its 1100th anniversary of founding. What a festival. We are staying in Wernigerode like you suggested. Only heard English spoken twice in three days, but we Canadians are managing just fine.

I try to watch ALL of your videos of Germany. You speak the language so well. While I was in Germany during the ending of the cold war, (I was assigned to 3rd Infantry Division in a tank unit tanker) my gunner spoke extremely fluent German, and Chech. He married a Chech.

Too cute to pass up. Based on your videos adding Quedlinburg (and Bamberg) to our trip next fall (wrapping all in with going to the Passionsspiele in Oberammergau. Planning on a week in each of the two following the play. Thanks for showing us the less known places.

My Grandfather grew up in Bremen and he said his family would take the train either to the coast or to the Harz mountains on family vacations as a kid but my god when I think of Germany I think of those little towns in the mountains so gorgeous

I have only been to Berlin and Frankfurt (and Cologne long ago) but your description of the Harz mountains makes me want to go there. You sure seem to know what you are talking about. And Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
