❤️Aubrey was a Speech-Language Pathologist, Donnie was a graphic designer, but we both had a dream to travel the world and experience cultures. After three years of being married and dreaming about if something like this great adventure would be possible, we decided to quit the rat race and take on the world. We sold everything we had, quit our jobs, and took off! After 9 months of aimless and nonstop travel, we now get to fulfill our dreams of living abroad as expats as we move to Germany!
If you wanna see all the amazing things we say in part 1 of our Black Forest weekend, check it out here 😃⏩ ua-cam.com/video/EX7ZE7XwcWU/v-deo.html
the term "Bächle" is the Diminuativ form of "Bach" meaning "stream/creek/brook" and Bächle is therefore "the little stream/creek/brook"
You surely might have learned in your german lessons the common Diminuativ in Hochdeutsch which is "- chen" or "-lein"..like Kätzchen/Kätzlein" (little cat) derived from Katze (cat)..and for "Bach" it would be soley "Bächlein" ..because "Bächchen" doesn´t work because of "double ch" does not exist respectively would be too hard/too uncomfortable to pronounce...therefore nobody does it.
but in the alemanic dialects (spoken in Baden Würtemberg and Switzerland and in Austria´s Vorarberg) the Diminuativ is "- le" so instead of "Kätzchen/Kätzlein" it is "Kätzle" and instead of "Bächlein" it is "Bächle"...and instead of "Mädchen" it is Mädle" which is the Diminuativ of the outdated term "Maid" meaning "woman" which was replaced by the term "Frau" and the Diminuativ of "Frau" is "Fräulein" (by the way "Frauchen" is used as an insult to undermine a woman OR the expression for the female master of a dog (the male equivalent for master of a dog is Herrchen by the way) and is gramatically an exception because the vowel doesn´t shift into an Umlaut at "Frauchen")..but the meaning of "Fräulein" became specific "young woman/or formal unmarried woman" while the meaning of "Mädchen" became specific "girl"
by the way in the "Bavarian dialect" and in "Austrian dialects unless in Vorarlberg" the Diminuativ would be "-erl" so they would say "Katzerl" instead of "Kätzchen" and instead of "Bächlein" it would be "Bacherl"..and instead of "Mädchen" it is "Maderl" but also "Mäderl" as well BUT "-erl" is often shorted up into just "-l" like "Katzl", "Bachl", or "Madl/Mädl"..generally by using "-erl/-l" the vowel usually doesn´t shift into an Umlaut as like as using "-chen" or "-lein" or "-le"..."Mäderl/Mädl" is an exception
A beautiful town in Schwarzwald you should visit is Titisee-Neustadt. Very nice to walk on the big lake (I was once there in 1988 with my parents when I was a child, but I still can remember). In the the summer it can be overcrowded with tourists there.
www.titisee-neustadt.de/
Also important in Schwarzwald: In beautful Glottertal (great nature for hiking!) you can see a legend of German TV: "Die Schwarzwaldklinik". In the 80s this bulding was used for for the most successful hospital-TV-series Germany ever had. The main character (Professor Klaus Brinkmann, acted by Klaus-Jürgen Wussow) was some kind of a wonder-doctor, who always had the perfect solution for his patients. His hospital-staff was like a big familiy, the audience rating was incredible every week.

Samstag morgen Routine: aufstehen, zum Bäcker gehen um Brötchen und Croissant zu kaufen, Kaffee kochen, frühstücken und dabei das neueste Passwort Two Video anschauen. 😀
Wirklich eine gute Morgen Routine! 😊
Der zweiten Hälfte dieser Aussage kann ich voll und ganz zustimmen!
Pass(w!)ort Two !? 😉
About the "Bächle": Cooling might be a side effect, but they are dating back to the middle ages and the water was meant for extinguishing water and for the cattle.
Yes, there is not always water in them, but that is rather because they are easier to clean this way.
Additional info: The local saying goes: Anyone from elsewhere who accidentally steps in one of the "Bächle" will eventually end up marrying a local.
Glad we didn’t accidentally step in them in that case seeing as we are already married! But I’m sure the people from Freiburg make excellent waives and husbands too 😉😊
I can only confirm this, I stepped into a Bächle and have been married to a Freiburg woman for more than 15 years ;-)
It is also said that it was used for getting rid of the rubbish. Throw your rubbish in there and the water would sweep it away. There was a group of people keeping the water flowing, the "Bächleputzer" - Bächlecleaner.
@@meyermeyer8862 it was forbidden to throw rubbish in the Bächle, because in the anicent times they was used to stop fire.
For years the Federal Cancellor Helmut Kohl's car was stick in the Bächle.
And the Federal Cancellor Gerhard Schröder stepped in the Bächle as he has a meeting with the French President François Mitterand in Freiburg
About the location of Freiburg i.Br. : most people are getting this wrong. The city is situated on the edge of Black Forest with most parts of the city actually being in the upper Rhine valley.
Great additional information! 😊
Freiburg was called "Schwarzwaldhaupstadt"
From Monday to Saturday on the Münsterplatz is a Marktet and you can eat a "Lange Rote Wurst" with onions.
Wish we would have been able to be there for that! 😃
Our favourite place in the world! We are a Greek couple planning to move to Freiburg soon (probably around Spring). We are so excited with your channel, so helpful. Hope when we finally make it to meet you guys irl! Have fun :)
Awesome! Good luck on your move and we wish you the best living in Germany 😊
I lived in Freiburg before I moved to California. I came back to Germany 5 years ago but didn't move to Freiburg. Now I live about 30 minutes from it.
Oh wow! That would be great to live so close to Freiburg 😃
The bottle opener at the wall should prohibit bottle opening on the edges of the furniture, which is a common German technique if you have no lighter.
Smart move by the hotel then!
What makes the Freiburger Muenster interesting is that it is the only German gothic cathedral that actually got finished in time! Most of the large gothic cathedrals saw big construction work in the 19th and early 20th century, for instance to finish the church towers (Regensburg: 1859/1869, Cologne: 1880, Ulm: 1890). But the tower of the Freiburger Muenster was finished 500 years early in 1330.
That is super interesting! We hadn't learned that before. Thanks for sharing 😃
Wow the church scene was so beautiful and the music too
It 's nice to see the Blackforest, without driving down the whole Autobahn! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed seeing it! 😊
@@PassportTwo 😃
I visited Freiburg on my recent trip to Europe and did the whole walk around the Münster and I'd say it was totally worth it paying to go around the choir. And the day I was there worked out perfectly because I got to hear the Hosanna glocke ringing. It is the oldest bell in the Münster, and it was cast on August 15th, 1258 and that is the actual date inscribed on the bell.
Currently is easily the best time to go for a walk. The sun shining through the trees is just beautiful.
Today was a particularly beautiful sunny day here for sure!
I am surprised you didn't mention the awesome gargoyles on the Freiburger Münster, those are all around on the outside and each is different. Unlike the gargoyles on other cathedrals, in Freiburg they are not too high up so you can get a pretty good view, and there are a lot!
You're right! They were lower to the ground than normal and really cool looking. Thanks for pointing that out! 😊
I love freiburg. my home city
I have spent many a vacation in the Black Forest and have been to Freiburg often. You should see the market aroung the cathedral, it is beautiful. On my way back home to Saarland I usually stop in Gengenbach and/or Straßburg, so much to see. I very much enjoyed your 2 descriptions of the Black Forest.
Have you ever been to Speyer, it is also worth seeing
We‘ll have to make it back down to try and see the market! We love the area of Gengenbach and Straßburg. Very beautiful places! 😊
Gengenbach, my type of town. Thank for showing us around
Ya! Beautiful place. Happy to have shown you around 😃
Watch your shows now, they’re so informative! I’m from
Canada, been to Germany about 15 times over the past 8 years. I saw you were in Schiltach but just a town or do two over is Wolfach. Been there a few times, love it there! Give it a try. Keep up the great work!
Awesome! Thanks so much for the recommendation! 😃
Just wanted to mention a few others that I loved. Saarburg, Mittenwald, Meersburg and if you dip into France, check out Obernai. I love the half timbered house too as you’ve said. Obernai and the ones I mentioned have them.
you need to visit the unimog museum
i have a cuckoo clock which was in my grandparent's house, i have always loved it, i took it in for a cleaning and minor repairs and was told it dates around 1900 and from the black forest region, and i learned the style is called an hunter's clock, i need to take it in again for minor repairs but will never get rid of it
That’s an amazing thing to inherit! Very special. 😃
The mosaics are wonderful! Thanks for sharing a part of Germany I've never seen. I wonder if you could include Stolpersteine in one of your videos.
Thanks so much and we are glad you enjoyed it! We actually have talked about the Stolpersteine in at least one of our early videos although I can't put my finger on which one at the moment...🤔 Maybe we'll mention them again in another video though to refresh our viewers on them! 😊
Don't know someone already mention, Gengenbach was a part of location for the movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" from 2005.
:-D When I was there, it was raining cats and dogs :-D
So charming! I wanna go!!!!!
It was way better than we even expected! 😊
If you are still looking for places to discover, I recommend the hills behind Burkheim at the Kaiserstuhl, near Freiburg. You can see the whole Rhine valley from there. In Spring they are usually the first who hit the 20 °C (68.0 °F) because it is the warmest area of Germany.
Hallo Ihr beiden. Schöner Bericht über Euren Schwarzwald-Ausflug! Nice to see how much you like our German country :-)
Vielen Dank! Ich freue mich, dass es dir gefallen hat!
You missed out on Haslach im Kinzigtal
Freiburg is great! If you ever come back in a pandemic-free time, you should visit the "Feierling" (bar and beer garden with it's own brewery, have a "Inselhopf"), "Markthalle" (multinational dishes under one roof) and have dinner at "Kartoffelhaus" (unique restaurant with great potato selection and excellent fish and meat dishes). For breakfast I would recommend the "Stadtcafe", not far from "Martinstor". Okay, I just realize, I mainly know the drink and food places. Surprise!
Of course, you should go up to the "Schauinsland", right outside of Freiburg. Climb the lookout on top of the mountain, and you have an amazing view over the rhine valley, to France with the Vosges and to Switzerland with the alps. Provided, the weather allows a good visibility.
We really appreciate the restaurant recommendations actually! We will definitely keep these in mind if we are able to make it back. 😃
The first video of yours which made me cry. ....... I spent 16 years of my life in Freiburg and had the best time ever there! And because I worked 7 of those 16 years as a taxi driver, I am really so familiar with each and every corner of this wonderful city.....your vid showed me how much I miss it. Meanwhile life leaded me to Klingenberg, which is a part of the Miltenberg county. Miltenberg is for sure a destination I would recommend for a visit! Especially because you love timberwood buildings and medieval ambiente. Moreover it is not too far from where you live. Google it and see if it meets your interest! ;)
Wow! So happy that we could show you around your old city again and that you enjoyed it 😊 Thanks so much for the recommendation! I have just googled it and also added it to our list of places to check out! 😃
Ich wohne im Tiefsten Teil des Schwarzwaldes und letzten Sommer habe ich mal einen Camping Urlaub in einen anderen Teil des Schwarzwaldes unternommen und habe einen ganz neuen Blick auf diese Region bekommen. Da wohnen wo andere Urlaub machen 😁
I love watching your guys adventures!! , but the bloopers at the end of your videos are my fav part ! 🤣😂 considered doing a whole video of bloopers. 🤪
Glad you enjoy the videos and the bloopers so much!! We actually cut out a TON of bloopers from each video and then each month we compile ALL of the bloopers into an entire video of that month's bloopers. Those blooper videos are then uploaded to our Patreon for our Patrons 😊

@@PassportTwo aaahhhhh! Ok ok ya got me, very smart 🦊😏
Awesome video Folks, as well as all of your videos, are awesome :) I am planning to visit Freiburg on one of my trips to Germany this year for sure. (Well, I hope so lol lol) Freiburg looks beautiful and this is on the "Must" list. :)
Just stumbled across your channel and we love it!!
Hey! Thanks so much for that 😊 We are glad you enjoy it 😃
The stones the Mosaiks are made of called "Rheinkiesel"
Very interesting. Thanks for the added information 😊
Fun fact: Deckard Cain lies below the Münster.
You should definitely try to visit the Insel Mainau the next time you are in Bavaria. It is still owned by the family Bandicoot, the roots of the Swedish monarchy, and in the middle of the Chiemsee. It has Mediterranean temperatures year round and just beautiful. In the middle of the Chiemsee you will also find Herren Cheimsee, the dream castle of Prince Ludwig. Love your Schwarzwald vids. I worked as a flight attendant for Lufthansa for many years and can not count how often I would be asked, by American tourists, 'if the Black Forest will still be open'. Knocked me off my feet each and every time. As if the Black Forest were a theme park or something like that.
Haha, oh no. 😅 Ya, it definitely is open year round!
Thanks for the suggestion! We haven’t had this one yet but I will add it to our list of places to see!! 😃
Korrektur: Die Insel Mainau befindet sich in Baden-Württemberg (nicht Bayern) und ist am Bodensee = Lake Constance (nicht Chiemsee) und im Besitz des verstorbenen Graf Gustaf Lennart Nicolaus Paul Bernadotte des einzigsten Sohns Prinz Wilhelm von Schwedens. Und der Schwarzwald ist nicht in Bayern, warum denken das immer alle??!!
Insel Mainau is not in Bavaria, it is located am Bodensee in Baden Wurttemberg (the Lake of Constance). Worth visiting especially in the summer months :)
The bottle opener. hahaha
Exactly how I felt! 😂
Such a beautiful city and landscape. Though it's not my hometown or even my homeregion, I really love Freiburg and the Upper Rhine Valley. Thanks for the video :-)
It is an amazing place for sure! Glad you enjoyed 😊

ich gehe in freiburg im Breisgau zur schule und wohne in einem dorf in der nähe.
An alle Touristen kommt her und schaut euch freiburg und umgebung an , es ist ssehr schön hier
Wir sind definitiv einverstanden! Die ganze Region ist wunderschön!
The Glas Windows are sponsored by different guilds (Smith, Bakers, Miners etc.)
The Freiburger Münster was mostly payed from the cityzens, not from the aristrocracy.
Surely the Zähringer started the building but the citizens endet it.
Again, great facts and very interesting information you have added! Thanks for sharing 😊
Outside carved into the wall of the Münster are the mesurmentes of legth (Elle) and sise of a breadloaf of the time. So you would not get cearted on the market.
@@karinland8533 and the mesurments for bricks, roof tiles, tubs and bushels on the main doorway.
And on the right side the permisson of two fairs: in the spring the autumn.
We still have a "Frühjahrs- und Herbst-Mess" (Springtime and Autumn Fair)
And one of the glass window (I thing the first on the left side after entering) shows the oldest remaining proof for the making of pretzels, as this window was sponsored by the Bakers Guild. (The church however does not have the original anymore, which was put to safety into an archive.) Size marks at the entrance show the size the bread loafs to be sold on the market had to be at minimum.
Not a suggestion for a clock, but one of my favorite evening trips when I was at Ramstein was a simple trip to the observation deck in Eulenbis. Look up Eulenkopfwarte on google maps. It is a great spot for some b-roll intro/outro footage.
I think Aubrey may have visited this with a friend once but I'm not certain...we will definitely check that out! Thanks for letting us know about this 👍
Hey guys, if the travel is possible go see Colmar and Munster in Alsace. Can be done in a day, depends of course what you're going to do all day? Maybe two days better?
The food there is amongst the best in Europe. Ferme Auberge e.g.
And in the Black Forrest near Freiburg is the Kaiserstuhl. Visit the villages surrounding this hill. It's so beautiful there and the part of Germany with the most sunny days a year. More than Denver and Miami.
www.schwarzwaldpalast.de
or Google just this: kuckucksuhr handarbeit and pick.
Maybe its beauty explains why there so many Freiburgs or Freeburgs in the U S
Interesting thought 🤔
Best City in Germany!
It was amazing! 😃
For years the Federal Cancellor Helmut Kohl's car was stick in the Bächle. (in the Herrenstraße, one street with Bächle which was big enough for cars)
And the Federal Cancellor Gerhard Schröder stepped in the Bächle as he has a meeting with the French President François Mitterand in Freiburg
Don't pronounce Bach like Bug.
Ch means Cat Hiss and add simply a cat hiss in the end.
Freiburg was called "Schwarzwaldhaupstadt" (Capitol of the Black Forrest)
And it was many years "Vorderösterreich" under the Family of the Habsburger an the University of Freiburg was founded 1457 from Erzherzog Albrecht VI, and in 1817 the Großherzog Ludwig from Baden gives budgetary for the univetsity. (bevore they think of closing the University)
There for in gratitude, it named "Albert-Ludwigs-Universität"
You are a treasure trove of fun facts about Freiburg! Very fun to read 😊
@@PassportTwo thank you!
I live in Freiburg, love the City and the History of it and I work in the University Hospital.
Jakob Burkhardt a Swiss art historian said Freiburg has the „schönste Turm der Christenheit" (The most beautiful tower of Christanity)

Seeing your wonderfool footage I was wondering if you also have the problem when picking shots: Something looks so nice and medieval and cute - and then there's this bright red garbagecan right in the middle
Yup! And sometimes that’s unavoidable but it shows the realities of a place so I’m not always opposed to showing that in the shot 😊 Kind of like the McDonald‘s under the huge historic city gate we showed in Freiburg 😅😂

I plan on solo traveling to the black forest (from the US) in late November. What town would you guys recommend me staying in?
Hättet ihr euch früher gemeldet, hätte ich euch noch ein paar schöne Plätze zeigen können. Allerdings sind Touristenziele leider auch sehr oft richtige Touristenfallen. Wie Triberg, das ist aber in anderen Bundesländern oft auch so.
Mir gefällt daß ihr auch auf die Geschichte der Städte eingeht. Wenn ihr es mal etwas ruhiger angehen wollt, fahrt mal nach Freudenstadt. Rund rum gibt es viel zu entdecken. Die Schwarzwaldhochstraße solltet ihr mindestens einmal gefahren sein, sonst wart ihr nicht wirklich im Schwarzwald. Übrigens ist die Schwäbische Alb auch sehr interessant mit vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Zum Beispiel die Burg Hohenzollern, oder das Schloss in Sigmaringen. Das Donautal ist sehr interessant und wirklich schön.
Vielen Dank für all die wunderbaren Vorschläge für andere Dinge, die es zu sehen gibt. Sobald wir wieder in der Lage sind, in diesen Bereich zu gelangen, werden wir versuchen, diese zu sehen. 😃
Dafür ist dieser spezieller Zeit, mit viel wenige ausländischen Touristen, genau die beste Zeit diese Orte besuchen zu können.
Gengenbach has a very well-known christmas market, especially the advent calendar, which is one of the largest in germany, here is a little video ua-cam.com/video/OLYtGe0Mdmw/v-deo.html&feature=emb_logo
Wasn’t aware! Thanks so much for showing us and hopefully one day we can go check that out in person 😃
Please cut the short musical beat. It cuts out hearing your soft voices.
dont know what made them bomb this City to the ground in the WW2...there was non military production or anything else..maybe just with dresden to bomb for fun...gosh...so glad we didnt had to expierience that dark Age
I didn’t read all the details but an interesting thing is that the city was first actually bombed by the Nazis when they accidentally thought it was France. The Nazis then tried to cover it up for years and blame it on the allies as a „terrorist attack.“ This was eventually proven false and a memorial now stands in the city stating it was the Nazis themselves that bombed their own city.
@@PassportTwo holy cr..p...thats pretty f..cked up isnt it? ok, France isnt far away but how couldnt they Tell the difference? there is a River between the Countrys :) thanks for the Info !!
@@PassportTwo Yeah, that idiotic bombardment happend in 1940 killing 59 people, but the real devastation was :
"Operation Tigerfish was the military code name in World War II for the air raid on Freiburg in the evening of 27 November 1944 by the Royal Air Force with about 2,800 dead. "
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Tigerfish
@@PassportTwo Yes, navigation without GPS wasn't that perfect as it is nowadays.
Perhaps you might be interested to learn about America's "war" against Switzerland when USAAF repeatedly bombed Swiss towns, thinking they were German. ua-cam.com/video/FILxoQyKzDg/v-deo.html
@@svengaefgen5909 Yes, the Luftwaffe didn't really have large bombers to do carpet bombing like that and level a city. They only had mid-sized tactical bombers.
The most notorious example of the Luftwaffe destroying a city was the raid on Coventry in southern Britain. What most people don't know though was that it was actually a limited tactical attack on Britain's largest engine factory, which lay in the middle of the city and the city itself was only destroyed because a fire spread from the bombed factory to the rest of the city.
Coventry is often used to justify the anti civilian bombing war, by saying the Germans started it, but that narrative doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.
Not trying to white wash and revision history and Nazi crimes. The Luftwaffe too flew terror attacks against civilians in Spain and Poland, before German cities were attacked, but Coventry is not one of those cases.
The question why and how Britain had a large fleet of big long range bombers conveniently laying around to retaliate with, if it was the Germans who invented the concept of terror bombings, is definitely a interesting one, though.
theese creeks in the streets exist in Aachen too, although they aren't called "Bächle", because "Bächle" is the local dialect of Freiburg for "little creek" or "creeky". I think theese creeks have been there bevore Aachen or Freiburg were buildt and just got integrated into the streets.
in winter and autum they send the water through a sewer, because the watercourse could get blocked from leaves and ice and flood the streets.
Haven’t been to Aachen yet to see but it is on our list! We’ll check them out when we go one day 😊
Never been to Aachen, although it is on my list too. The Freiburg Bächle were built, they are obviously not natural watercourses.
@@ulrichrenner6256 i just meant there has been a creek bevore the street was built and as it was buildt the creek got its artificial chanel

Well maybe they can adopt the idea from this place 😊
You 2 seem so friendly and nice. I've watched a number of your videos, and I commented on one, but perhaps you didn't read it. It was just a comment about the word "whenever". You both tend to use the word incorrectly, when the word should be "when". For example, at 9:49 in the video, one of you said "...whenever we drove into the Black Forest ...", yet it is obvious by your sentence that you were talking about a single event - so "whenever" is NOT the correct word. It should be "when". I'm actually surprised how many Americans make that error - i hear it on TV all of the time. My suggestion, if you want to be grammatically correct, is to stop using the word "whenever" - use "when" instead. As I pointed out in the previous comment - the German version is "als" versus "wenn". They are not interchangeable when talking in the past, nor are "when" & "whenever". Just FYI. I'm not being mean, and I hope you don't take it as such. If I were making such an error, I'd want someone to tell me, so that I can learn from my error. You're a cute couple. Have a good day!
Doug Way, Thank you for mentioning their odd use of ‘whenever’. It might be a Texas/Oklahoma thing, rather than a widespread American thing, because I have never heard it where I live (Wisconsin). It sounds SO odd to me!
As I understand it, "whenever" here means "always, when we ...", therfore experienced several times. There is a similar equivalent in German: "Wannimmer". So I think, they used the word correctly.
Places with the most sunshine in Germany are at the coast.
Rügen and Usedom are the places with most sunshine hours in Germany.
Unfortunately your are wrong on your title...
Freiburg is barely in the top 30 for the warmest city in germany and below the average when it comes to sunshine hours.
Für alle Freiburger: fudder.de/freiburg-ist-doch-nicht-die-waermste-stadt-deutschlands-sagt-zumindest-joerg-kachelmann :P
Turns out: quite some of the newly found cities in the middle ages where designed intentionally the way they are... ua-cam.com/video/-ZzEzhIGnwM/v-deo.html - (The film starts with Freiburg, as the old city planner / architect spent 15 years researching it) - it’s not that they grew beautiful, but they were planned beautiful (- the street arcs, the small alleys, the central place around the church etc. - the whole geometry of it was an art with strict rules.)
Really interesting! Thanks for sharing and the link you provided 😃
