Thank you for your video. I’ll be in Bucharest next August and I plan to go to Chisinau in this train. All the best to you

Thank you and Слава Україні!

Great animation, but idk, still, this still just looks like daily life for me, nothing special

Ukrainian train actually looks more new than the Chisinau-Bucharest train

Bro what moldova has to so with ukraine war, we didnt had any positive impact bcs of them, so if ukraine wasnt in war it woudnt change that much and it woudnt defntly die bcs of that

*Boarisch Gmoa xD

I live nearby xD It's overrated tbh

Очень красивый фильм!

I have done this on 6 june 2023 from bucharest to moldova and 13 june 2023 back. I will do this again this summer. It was a great experience.

Great work 🎉

I kind of get how they don't want the war to change their view on culture though. I'm not saying that the war isn't horrible, but maybe we should just try to live together a bit more. It's not the Russians that wanted the war.

Bardzo fajnie wyswietlona podróz do Kiszyniowa , szkoda ze nie podałeś ile kosztuje bilet 😀

The swiss german border was fixed in 1648 and was Not altered by Napoleon.

Yes we Mongols still have them still serving and some of the local routes as equipped back in the day (time capsule)

Basel is special. There is not only a DB owned and managed station (Basel Badischer Bahnhof, which is as you pointed out operated by DB InfraGo AG formerly known as DB Stations and Services AG which merged with DB Netz in january). On the Concourse of Basel SBB there is a station that is operated by the French operator SNCF. (Bâle SNCF or Basel SNCF) And even runs on French train electrical system. Switzerland, Germany and Austria have standardized on 15kV, 16,7 Hz ac. Where France uses 25kV, 50 Hz ac and 1.5 kV dc for its railways. Though there have been efforts to move the local services from Basel airport and France to Basel SBB and integrate the SNCF station into the SBB concourse and move the SNCF services to electrical multiple units that can run on 15kV and 25kV. The former TGV services that operated into Basel (SNCF) already moved over to the main concourse in Basel SBB

Great video! I wanted to travel there now

Big faux pas ! This Basel Münster, not cathedral. The word Münster is reserved for protestant churches. The word cathedral is reserved for catholic churches !

Dear subscribers, There are some mistakes in the pronunciation in the video, sorry for that. For example, HelgolAAAAAnd in German, not HelgolEEEEnd as I pronounced. But that's not the only one. Unfortunately I don't have a technical possibility to fix this now and record a correct same-quality audio. With the tools that I have right now, the quality of the audio was significantly worse. So I made a hard decision to leave it as it is, because it's not worth a big delay in release of the new video. I hope nobody of you will be annoyed by that. Enjoy the video! Best regards KML

Same "crazy" stuff in 🇺🇸 "vs." 🇨🇦 🤷‍♂️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9WTfdBkqdjdZHk.html

Thanks for posting the great video, best regards from BW Gartenbahn.

Konstanz (Constanze) wasn't bombed because the mayor of Kreuzlingen told the mayor of Konstanz that when the to leave on the streetlights. The American airfoce had told him to leave on the streetlights, so the bombers were able to differentiate between Swizerland and Germany. Because the cities were very friendly the information was passed on to the German side as well. That is how Konstanze survived the second World War untouched.

There is also a streetcar from Trieste (Italy) to Opicina (Slovenia), which runs as Line 2 of the "Trieste Trasporti" society.

About the german-swiss bordertowns: The Swiss had ready-to-blow explosives in the bridges until 2014 :D :D

You forgot about Tram 10 which goes from Switzerland through France (Leymen, Alsace) to Switzerland. Tram 3 crosses the border to France (to St. Louis /St. Ludwig) and Tram 8 crosses the border to Germany (to Weil am Rhein).

Thanks for supporting Ukraine!

Beautiful video, as your other ones and very cleverly commented. Best compliments

There is a dedicated international railway connecting Koblenz (CH) & Waldshut (DE). Can’t more longer than 4km, there used to be a Schienenbus (rail bus) with manual transmission running this line; but last time I visited I was a little disappointed to find a modern train instead. I used to live in Switzerland (Baden AG) but travel to Waldshut (either by rail or bicycle)to buy my bier!

Dixperlo-Suderwick (NL/D). Both towns (well, technically Suderwick isn't a town) have a single joint police station and post office. Also the local care home consists of two separate units connected by a bridge spanning over the main road which is the border. The village of Suderwick was annexed 1945 and grew into one town with Dinxperlo before being returned 1963. Some of the older buildings still retain typical Dutch features.

In Costa Rica we have a town on the border with Panama, there's no free movement treaty, but the town has a lot of stores with two fronts, one in Panama and one in Costa Rica, so you can shop there without legally enter the other country

great

Danke für diese sehr interessant und informativ Video

Great, and very informative video. Looking forward to next !

5:10 - this is not a memorial for citizens. it literally says "for our warriors". so this is basically a memorial for nazi soldiers (yes i know, many of them were drafted and were actually SPD or KPD voters, but we all know its not for them, since most of them ended up in camps sooner or later)

It is logical. 300 years ago it was all on the territory of the Holy Roman Empire and thus no borders. Later political developments created new borders. The border region in poland is often neglected because Poland feared that it might had to transfer the land back to Germany after an agreement. Since it was not real sovereign territory, but just "under their administration". Thus they rather exploited the western territories in order to invest in the central region. That changed from 1991 on due to the 2+4 agreements. There are investments again. Stettin looks very representative again. I have been there several times for shopping purposes in my Berlin period :)

There is also a German railway station in Polish city Świnoujście. This city is located at Baltic Sea coast, near the Polish-German border, neighbouring German city Ahlbeck on the other side of the border. However, unlike many of the cases shown in this video, these are not two parts of one former city; these were always two clearly separate cities, although before WWII the entire area belonged to Germany, and Świnoujście was a German city too, called Swinemünde. Świnoujście is uniquely located on two neighbouring islands; eastern part of the city is located on Wolin island, which is entirely Polish, and western (main) part on Usedom/Uznam island, which is divided between Germany and Poland (hence the double name, in both languages). Both parts of the city are connected by ferries and now also by underwater tunnel built just recently, in this year. The Polish railway network reaches only the eastern part of the city (as it would be hard to get the tracks through to the other island ;)) and the Polish railway station is located there. On the other side, the German part of Usedom island is serviced by a local railway UBB (Usedomer Bäderbahn), and in 2007 UBB network was extended to western part of Świnoujście and a German railway station has been built there.

Switzerland has also Cross-border towns with other Coutries: For exemple St-Gingolph with one part in France and Ponte Tresa with one part in Italy. There are also small villages divided by the border like La Cure where there's even a Hotel in which you can sleep with your head in Switzerland and the feet in France.

Maybe unwittingly, it was very fitting of you to show the waterfall in Laufenburg, as "Laufen" is an old German word for "waterfall" and most places that have it in their name are named after one.

1:37 Couldn't even tell if its on the german or polish side.

Architecture on the east german side and polish side isnt really different at all. Both are post soviet architecture

For a KZfaq channel it's usually better to stick to one area or subject and attract more subscribers who will watch your future productions too. If you include other topics like the Middle East you just change your focus as this is a different topic and region. At the same time visits to former Soviet army bases in East Germany are still interesting for people who are interested in Germany. A recent fact about a visit to Cecilienhof that NEVER took place: For the Potsdam Conference China was not invited, but they decided to give Taiwan back to China at that conference. When Xi Jinping wanted to visit Berlin he also included Cecilienhof in his plans, but Merkel refused his request. The German government did not want this palace to be used for Chinese "unification" propaganda against Taiwan.

Frankfurt and Slubice are brothers from an Oder mother

This shouldn't be something relative. In border areas there is always a incentive to live on one side, work on the other, and buy groceries on the third, or something like that. So the slight differences can drive growth if the bordering cities work with each other. E.g. I would really like to see a tram connecting the Basque coast between France and Spain.

Nice!

⁠​​⁠What an awesome vlog! Thanks for sharing this @kmltraveler !

Europe's Schengen area: what if I told you these borders are invisible? 😂

Enjoyed that. I've had holidays in that area.

I live far away from a border in the middle of Bavaria but our small town is far away from big cities so we also had no damage in the world wars. We have a complete town wall with towers which were built in the 15th century.

Dear friends, It’s very important for me to understand what is interesting for you and which format do you prefer. I have videos from the Middle East trip, so I can publish a video per country that I visited. Even though you won’t hear anything really shocking like in the videos from big bloggers, this topic is really interesting. Chaotic experience in Cairo, unexpected things in Saudi Arabia, and fabulous visit to Bethlehem (Palestine) before the Gaza war. I am sure many of you will enjoy it. One more interesting idea in my list is abandoned Soviet military bases in Germany that may be visited with or without the tour. A short teaser from one of the locations is at the end of this video. I have a bunch of videos about German steam trains and museum trains (Museumbahn) that I filmed in different locations in East Germany. I filmed at least 15 different train routes. However, this topic is very specific and it’s very important to define which format is the best for such videos so that all people will enjoy it. Possible format 1: that could be a short video like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i-CKg5l5x7ibcnk.html In this case we have a short description of the railway, and then the ride, but the total length of the video should not exceed 10 minutes. Possible format 2: a long format, like here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/happa7Cr1pfLfYk.html In this case you can have a feeling like you are really riding this steam train route. Or you may even suggest another different format. Please share your ideas. Another interesting topic is to tell you about my five-day tour to Chornobyl zone a few months before the full scale invasion of Ukraine. This was in fact a very unique experience, as this group tour happens only once per year, and that was the last long tour just 3.5 months before the full scale war. Anybody interested to hear my story? At the moment I have a few videos about Chornobyl on my channel, and I think they are really unique and interesting, I kindly invite you if Chornobyl topic is interesting for you: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZtOio5djmMW0iGw.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jp99ktyhnt3Kqok.html The listed ideas are those videos that are already filmed by me, I just need time to edit and publish them. But I have even more ideas on what to film in the future. Maybe you have some more wishes about what you want to see and explore together with me? Maybe something specific that is located in Germany but cannot be visited by you in person? Feel free to leave the comment with your suggestions. Once again, thanks to all of you, with your feedback we can improve the content quality of the channel. You may see that I tried different formats in the past, sometimes even videos without any comments at all (which was a mistake from my side), so I will improve future videos step by step with your support. Best regards Kostiantyn

Basel Tram 10 to Rodersdorf stops briefly in France at Leymen \m/

That German owned railway station in Switzerland reminds me of the Singapore one which was owned by Malaysia so say you went on a train from Singapore to Kula Lumpur you technically left Singapore when you walked into the station.It's less interesting now as Singapore slowly bought the line back and closed it! Despite the Swiss being German speaking they diverged significantly from Germany at the time of the Reformation.Luther and Zwingli saw the Host in a different way and couldn't agree.
