Gelnhausen west germany Videos

Nice!  I am sorry but I can't remember any of the scout dudes now, even though I knew some then.  We were probably there at the same time.  Do you remember Captain Finney?  Small dude - carried a stick - napoleon complex - HA!  Some good memories hanging in town and taking the train to Frankfurt.  Do you remember Hoenfels, Baumhaulder, and Grafenvoer training grounds?

Hey I was HHC 1/33 scout plt 84-86

Bravo, I love your little town.

I so agree with you. I lived there in 1961.  What memories.

Thank you Braun. Here it is done by state I believe. I know that in my state and the adjacent states right on red, unless prohibited by a sign is legal. I'm sorry to hear about the plane crash and the death of your countrymen as well as those from other countries. Very sad. Thanks again for the reply.

Generally red means red in Germany. But there are intersections where it's explicitly allowed by a traffic sign.

Sonntag? :)

As an American, i find it fascinating...

I just wonder what the heck your comment is good for. Being a Brit I think I don't really need to read a comment from a German, LOL !!! The hidden purpose, however, may well be the fact that 'groppermilk' meant to demonstrate yet another time that Germans have no sense of fun! What a hilarious waste of time! Thanks a bunch, 'groppermilk'! (I'm still bursting with boredom!).

I don't know what speed we were driving; I think it was about 120 to 130 km/h. Our car is capable of more (but not much more), but we'd already been through some thick fog and noticed that the road had been salted in some places, so we were expecting frost or freezing fog. Under such conditions, especially when the road is as curvy as this, it's wise to avoid exceeding 130: at higher speeds than that, you can be held partly responsible if you are involved in an accident; you can even be charged with reckless driving. All it takes is to go round a bend to see a tailback and be unable to slow down in time. My wife has already been in one (thankfully very minor) accident that wasn't her fault, and doesn't want to repeat the experience.The thing about the recommended speed is that it's not, as most people think, a polite suggestion. The law does say you don't have to take it as a speed limit, but that you should.

+Alexander KeithYepp, bin zwar in Essen geboren, aber im Hochtaunus aufgewachsen. Größte Steigung, die ich dort *ausgeschildert' kenne, sind 15%. Und bei uns im Kaff gabs ein paar Stellen, da würden die üblichen Steigungsprozente wahrscheinlich gar nicht passen. Anders ausgedrückt: da rodeln im Winter die Kinder mit Hochgeschwindigkeit runter.Tja, und jetzt sitz ich freiwillig seit über 10 Jahren in Hamburg, aber manchmal vermiß ich das 'Hochgebirge' (aus Hamburger Sicht) Taunus schon ein wenig. ;)

Im direkten Vergleich mit Schleswig-Holstein immer noch quasi Hochgebirge ;o)

+rewbossI would make the argument that the Wetterau isn't a hilly range :). It's actually a lowland sitting beetween Vogelsberg (which I think is the hilly region your talking about) and Taunus.

+GeFlixeswo es keine Landschaft gibt, gibt es auch keine Kurven  ;o)

'There you have it; I can only relate to the Ruhrgebiet and the Autobahns (awkward english plural :P ) to and from the east and north sea. They are often through Flachland, however. :DBTW: you're making nice videos. It's nice to see how other people see germany and german traditions.

Depends where it is. This one is between the Spessart and the Wetterau, two hilly ranges. It follows the Kinzig valley between the two.
