Coming to Germany on a Sunday is probably the worst thing you can choose lol. It's literally the rest day, the cities are asleep. I was surprised you even found any shops that were open
Oh. Welcome to my hometown. Depending of what you expect, you may like the forests and the wine region towards Neustadt and Bad Dürkheim. I was surprised that the lady in the shop was not good in English. Usually, most people speak English quite well here.
You're right! A lot of the people we met spoke great English. I didn't spend any time in the wine region but I did drive past several vineyards on the way to other places in Germany. It would be cool to visit one day. We are currently not in Germany (I'm way behind on my editing) but we may actually be returning in a few weeks to Kaiserslautern. So I want to definitely check out your recommendations! Thanks!
@@that_one_traveler funny, I work for a US software company and are visiting the states regulary. 😀 I live in a small village north of Kaiserslautern (10 Minutes away), with lots of US neighbours. We have a great German-American community / friendship, miliraty as well as civilian. Regarding the places to go: It very much depends on what you are looking for. You can find calmness to relax and be just by yourself as well as nice places to have a coffee or a beer. Check out Bad Dürkheim, nice landscape and very good restaurants. For nightlife, the bigger cities are the places to go. Frankfurt has a great nightlife, but also areas to avoid. Okay, maybe every city has this... 😅
@@mbkl79 Haha yes, definitely! Which village are you from? (Also, you don't need to say if you don't want to) We visited a lot of villages north of Kaiserslautern. For the most part, we remained in Sembach but we did get to explore some other villages/towns near by. Not as much as I wanted. But since I'll be back this month, I can continue the exploration of the area. I'm excited.
Absolutely! I didn't know about this region before. I just looked up some pictures and it's beautiful! I'd love to hear some recommendations if you don't mind. Thanks!
@@that_one_traveler I dont want to bother you…but to be short: It seems you are into hiking so there is the famous and for the reckless the dangerous Traunstein mountain, a special boat for salt trading which is very romantic to ride, bad ischl the emperors summer residence where you can eat and sit where the emperor kaiser franz josef and his wife sissy dined, and so on Best whishes
@@bearli9786 It's not a bother at all! I love hearing about recommendations for potential trips. Everything you said sounds amazing! We're currently in Italy but we're leaving soon because our visa is about to expire so we must leave the Schengen zone. But when we return, Austria is high up on our list. I've made a note of your recommendations. I hope to experience them soon, thank you so much! 🙏
Well it was a Sunday in this video, so that explains it lol. Downtown Kaiserslautern was usually always bustling throughout the week and weekend when I lived there, especially the whole area around the Rathaus
Marienkirche is closed because of an renovation inside. You passed a cafe on your way to Currywurst and Schnitzel. Turn right and after 50 meters is s cafe. 😊
I did some research on it awhile back because I was curious. Apparently, they're called Neckarfurzer and they're from Neckarzimmern. From what I understand, they just enjoy traveling around the country playing music. I couldn't find much more info on them.
Arriving in Kaiserslautern (or Germany) and expecting to find a place open on Sunday morning. I spent over six and a half years in Germany (5 1/2 were in K-town) and places are closed more than open. I am surprised you found any place that had anything. Also, breakfast in Germany - baloney sandwiches.
@techindiamalayalam996 compared to other german cities a little bit boring und unspectacular. there is a (mostly technological orientated) small University, a decent nightlife and a few festivities and small festivals in and around the city during the year. The Kaiserslautern Area itself is famous for the largest US Community outside of the USA, because of the US AirBase Ramstein close by and you´ll find thousands of american soldiers and family living in and around kaiserslautern on the Base itself or surrounding villages and a decend "american friendly" infrastructure with a lot of US fast food restaurants, Car dealers, english speaking people and so on. Kaiserslautern is surrounded by big forrests and a lush green landscape filled with small hills, some castle ruins, farming land and small german villages and you´ll find many opportunities for hiking, bike riding, camping and other outdoor activities. Its only a 1hour drive to France, two hours to Frankfurt, a 1 hour drive to germanys famous wine region and the rhine river. Prices are affordable and much lower than in cities like Munich, Berlin, Frankfurt or Hamburg.
I believe it was a Saturday morning. I only remember this because we had to get our grocery shopping done at the Aldi in the mall. We knew the following day everything would be closed and we'd be without food.

You're totally right! That's exactly how it was! It's pretty much the same where I live haha
@@that_one_traveler lucky you arrived at a rare open sunday back then :D.

Nice video,
You should try Austria e.g. lake Traunsee region.
If You do I would love to recommend specialties.

Kaiserslautern looks a ghost City. I didgnt know. I live between Heidelberg and Mannheim

The marching band was probably playing for start of the carneval season. Was it November 11th?
It was actually in March. I've been slacking on getting my videos edited and uploaded. 🤦♂️
So then it was the actual carnival. @@that_one_traveler
@@JakobFischer60 Ah, that would have been fun to go to!
Marienkirche is closed because of an renovation inside. You passed a cafe on your way to Currywurst and Schnitzel. Turn right and after 50 meters is s cafe. 😊
Oops! Haha. Do you recommend the cafe? If so, what's the name? I know I'll be back in Kaiserslautern one day. I'll have to try it out.
I‘ve been living in Kaiserslautern for 16 Years how did I never see that marching band??
I did some research on it awhile back because I was curious. Apparently, they're called Neckarfurzer and they're from Neckarzimmern. From what I understand, they just enjoy traveling around the country playing music. I couldn't find much more info on them.
Oh wow that’s kinda cool

Absolutely. I'm glad we found that little place at the mall. It was a lifesaver haha
Had a seizure from the flashing light but...nice
Haha figured that would happen. Sorry!
Schnitzel with Currywurst and a bun, only the Sauerkraut is missing... Thats what you call culture shock, I guess... :)
Haha I do love that sauerkraut!
How is kaiserslautern ..

9 1/2 hour from Amsterdam? Did you ride in a Bobby Car...
Worse Deutsche Bahn
Was this a Sunday?
On a Sunday morning almost everything is closed, and restaurants start around noon.
I believe it was a Saturday morning. I only remember this because we had to get our grocery shopping done at the Aldi in the mall. We knew the following day everything would be closed and we'd be without food.
@@that_one_traveler ok, then it might be very early, so noone was on the streets, as even on Saturday most people don't have to work.
@@Why-D Totally makes sense. I was grateful to find that food spot open in the mall. It was exactly what I needed at the time haha
Cute Kassandra😇
Yeah she is! Always!
Just cash is our Motto 😂
