What is your favorite thing about hiking? 😋😍
The beautiful Nature for sure :)
The potato salad!
Berge sind anstrengend, langweilig und stehen immer im Weg rum. Ich bin für lange Wanderungen einfach zu nahe am Sofa gebaut (mir tun dann die Füße weh, ich hab Hunger und fange an zu maulen wie ein Kleinkind). Bin da eher so der Sonne-Wind-und Meer Typ.
Aber davon abgesehen, ist der Harz wirklich schön. Als gebürtiger Hildesheimer hat gefühlt jede zweite Klassenfahrt im Harz stattgefunden (das Landschulheim Buntenbock hat damals JEDER Hildesheimer irgendwann in seiner Schulzeit erlebt!). Und die regionalen Gerichte im Harz (Harzer Schmorwurst, überbackener Wild-Topf aus dem Ofen usw) sind sensationell.
Well at hiking in the Austrian Alps "Grüßen" is definitively a thing respectively seen as very rude not to do so.
Another thing is while being in the Austrian mountains meaning "high on the mountains while hiking or in Berghütten" (not in the villages) is to adress each other even Strangers with the informal "Du" as well..there is even an old saying/rule which says "Über 1000m sagt man Du" (Over 1000 meters there is to say "Du")
So in earlier times even noble Aristocrats even Kings from other countries visiting the Alps for socalled "Sommerfrische" (= holidays on the mountains) or the Emperor himself were adressed up in the mountains with the informal "Du"...unthinkable under normal conditions down in the valleys..where those were adressed formally with "Euer Gnaden" (Your Grace) or "Eure Majestät" (Your Highness) even today when current Royalty is visiting (the english and dutch Royals are coming almost every year in Winter for skiing and those are adressed by us - respectively by our hosts because obviously those are shielded from the avarage public - informally with "Du" on the mountains.)
Being around trees :)
For me the best thing for hiking is to be alone somewhere in the nature, it's silent, only with the sound and smell of the nature.
I'm working in a hotel and usually there are a lot of people all the time, so in my days off and holidays,
I can't have to many people around me, so i enjoy the quiet areas a lot more.
Ohhh Yess! The sound of trees moving in the wind and birds chirping. It's such a wonderful feeling. We hope you find some peaceful silence during your next days off! 🤗💜
@@DeanaandPhil
the area of and around Vienna offers a lot of opportunities to do so and I can do that be train, what i really like and it brings back some wonderful memories of my childhood.
Thanks for your wonderful videos with all these ideas.👍👏
Today normal conversation is ruined by all the idiots trying to make money from their UA-cam videos. Better just to walk on and not answer. I came here to see something from Harz but just found two exhibitionists.
"What did you do?" "Pipi" I love you guys
😅 hehe when nature calls!
@@DeanaandPhil Watch out for ticks, when you are going to pee in the woods next time !
Never pass up an opportunity to say hello, even if others don't say anything back, they will remember that you did❣
Been watching for just over 9 months now, so cool
Thanks for sticking with us this long! 🤗💜
"Guten Tag" sagt der Bauer wenn er in die Stadt kommt - Auf dem Land grüßt man sich, in der Stadt nicht. Wäre ja auch verrückt jedem in einer Stadt auf der Straße "Hallo" zu sagen.
When hiking it is customary to greet each other higher up in the alps when there are usually not that many people on the trail. Brocken is probably too low, too far north and too many day tourists on the popular hike to greet everyone.
In situations where you are not sure to greet, you can look into their face. If they look back greet, if they look into the ground or elsewhere don't greet.
Das stimmt schon, aber beim Wandern ist es eigentlich üblich, dass man sich grüßt.
@@bartolo498, when hiking in remote areas you usually great - regardless of the altitute or the region of Germany. There is a purpose behind it: greeting helps remembering people on the hiking track. In case they are lost or missing you could be able to describe them and where you saw them last.
I love that coffee mug! So cute 😃
🤗💜
We have been in the Harz region for hiking several times. Last time in February we make some hikes in the snow. Was wonderful. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards Hannes & Janin
I visited a friend in Germany in 1994 and we hiked the Harz up to the Brocken! We went in the winter time though, so there was lots of snow! Thanks for the memory jog!
Oh cool! 😍 Were there are lot of people when you were there in 94?
It's very snowy and windy there in winter because it's so exposed. The climate is more alpine
Oh i love the edit!!!! Good job.
And hiking is awesome with the right equipment... we went to the zugspitze 3 weeks ago!! Awesome
Thanks man!
I missed you guy!!!! Thanks for the nature tour 😊
Awesome and amazing video nice shots my man with the GO PRO you are a freakin GENIUS 👍🏻😄
Where I live, it's common curtesy to either say hi/hello, or at the very least smile.
I'm also used to greet people while hiking..
in Aachen, in the forest, everybody does that, ( as far as I know... )
That's what we do in Aachen❤ and also in the wonderful Eifel🌲🌳🌿❤🌿🌳🌲
I go there at Walpurgisnacht with Flugsalbe to join the circle almost every year.
Cool, I cought up on your video 10 Mins after posting :D love you guys so much....and your trips in Germany...try out the south-west at the French border where I live...Saarbrücken...unfortunatelly more fun, when you can be outside.....the past 2 days were so cold now......10 Minutes from France...I know, France has severe Corona cases right now, but not our regional neighbours...and you can get real good food in the French supermarkets and fantastic Restaurants nearby
We really want to check out some more areas surrounding Germany. 😍 We are pretty hesitant at the moment with the increasing cases. Just hoping that the cases begin to decrease soon! We'd love to check out France and the mountainous borders (also to eat French food! 😋). Stay safe out there! 🤗💜
I love you guys!!! I`m actually learning German!!!
4:05 When I've been there with my mom we were wearing t-Shirts and summer pants down on the ground and when we got up with the steam train we had snow and ice cold winds up there :D
6:53 “I want another sausage “ 😂😅
i remember a school trip up the brocken yeeeeaaars ago, that time there was snow on the top and we only got pea soup up there, and i usually don't eat it at all, because i don't like it, but i was hungry and it was warm and it was soo good :)
Hey Phil, have you taken Deana to the Hexentanz Weltrekord on April 30 yet? Looks like fun, dancing with the Witches whilst "shaken your bacon"! I'd love to see the festival through your eyes. Cheers from Colorado!
Nice to see you guys taking the same route I did
i was sleeping in the hotel on top of the Broken during my hike on the Harzer-Hexentsieg, the best moment on the Broken was in the morning around 6 a.m.
Wie ich sehe sterben die Fichtenwälder im Harz genauso wie bei mir im Westerwald. Die extreme Trockenheit und der Borkenkäfer ..... Viele Grüße
Im Nationalpark Harz werden die Baumleichen zusätzlich auch nicht entfernt.
Im Sauerland, eigentlich ja eines der Regenlöcher Deutschlands, haben wir das gleiche Problem. :(
I feel you bro. Aus Hannover
It was cool to have met you up there :)
Greetings Robert ✌🏻
Likewise! :)
Favorite part of hiking for me is the peace and quiet coupled with amazing views. One interesting thing for me about hiking in Deutschland is the distance is sometimes in Time versus Kilometer. I noticed in your video the distance is in Kilometers. In the part of the Alps we hiked the signs were in time. Any thoughts as to why?
Ihr seid ja in meiner Nähe, wohne in der Nähe von Goslar, war auch schon öfter am Torfhaus! 🤗❤
We will have to try this hike next time we travel to Germany. Thanks for the idea. As Canadians, we would say "Hi" to most everyone too. Just the way we roll. LOL
In Austria everyone you meet greets you when you pass each other on the hick.
That is really true, I enjoy that about Austria
In Deutschland eigtl auch. Das sind halt die Ossis xD
True! And also when entering shops etc, love it
@@Schmissgesicht
Das stimmt nicht, man grüßt sich auch im Osten beim Wandern.
Aber das sind halt so massen auf dem Brocken, auf den letztem Kilometer bist du dann nur noch am Grüßen.
@@Schmissgesicht Blödsinn! Zumal auf dem Brocken ganz Deutschland rumrennt.
Did anyone notice? At 0:57 it says "1141 m". At 3:34 it reads "1142 m".
When I was a school kid, we learned that the Brocken summit was at 1142 m. Later, they found out that it's only 1141 m, but they put a massive stone onto the summit and wrote 1142 m onto it, so the one meter came back again. ^^
Das ist so:
Wenn ich auf einer Leiter auf dem Brocken stehe, dann sind es 1144 Meter.
You guys definitely got lucky and it definitely is one of the most beautiful hikes i ever did, i didnt do a lot in my lifetime tho
Das wandern ist des Müllers Lust. Im Harz da ist es schön. Es ist immer wieder eine Freude eure Videos zu schauen. Ihr macht das schon richtig. All the best for you.
Tolles Video! Der Brocken ist wirklich nur zu empfehlen ^^ Das letzte Mal als ich mit ein paar Freunden auf dem Brocken war, hatten wir ihn fast für uns allein. Wir waren schon um 8Uhr und unterhalb der Woche oben :D Wir sind allerdings den Teufelsstieg gegangen. Hoch sowohl als auch runter. Wenn ihr den noch nicht gelaufen seid, kann ich den nur empfehlen! :)
Ohh we'll have to check out Teufelsstieg! 🤗💜 Danke!
Den bin ich nur hochgelaufen vor 2 Jahren hat mir gereicht😅😆 Runter war es mir zu gefährlich, da bin ich eine andere Strecke runter gelaufen
All people I know say hi, when meeting strangers on a hike :-)
Schöner Vlog! :)
what Deana was saying about it being awesome even if it was the worst food, that’s what the first food after having a baby is like. i remember fondly the food in the hospital, i know it was typical hospital food, but it tasted wonderful
I always did and usually I would get a smile or nod.
3:23 I've also been thinking about this everytime..
Ich grüße Leute an Orten wo nicht so viele Menschen sind. Schönes Video and love you guys!!
What did you do? Pipi. haha XDDD Unsere gute Thüringer Rostbratwurst! :D
"Do you say hello to people?"
No, not hello but in my area we say "MOIN" ! 😃😃😃
Wow, that’s a lot of people!
Ich habe da mal gewohnt, 2 Orte vor Torfhaus, in Königskrug, kurz hinter Braunlage. Es stimmt mich traurig das der Wald da oben so tot ist. Das war damals in den 90gern noch anders.
Der Harz ist momentan sehr sehr traurig was die Wälder angeht, ja. War auch sehr erschrocken als ich vor einigen Wochen mal wieder dort war...
Here where I live a hike doesn't have a pathed walkway.
I love your videos.
We are glad you do! 🤗💜
You make me hungry even with your hiking video, love german food
Right. Same for me. After sport or hard work in the sun i like a cold water best. But carbonated, because the following "hill billy burp" is part of the fun.
One thing is scary and pisses me off: the high amount of dead and brown trees.
Btw. Phil looks a bit bobafettish with his antennae camera. Film on...
At last. Best is: you do the walking and i only have to watch.
Kleiner Tipp zum Parken, 300m Richtung Altenau ist ein kostenloser Parkplatz.
So, if you hike in the Alps and someone crosses your way, everyone greets.
In Bayern sagen fast alle Grüß Gott beim Wandern.
Beim Broken ist mir dies auch aufgefallen, dass fast keiner Grüßt. Aber wenn man selbst anfängt, bekommt man normal auch etwas zurück.
"Hi!" or not:
I´d say if the others look like they do hiking somewhat more regulary, the chances for it are much greater than with the ones who seem to just do a walk.
Hope you got a Brockenhexe as a souvenir.
What a nice nature 💖
Der Fichtenwald bei uns im Oberharz stirbt, die Borkenkäfer sind fleißig. Irgendwann in der Zukunft wird der Mischwald mit Buchen wieder im Harz erstehen. Dauert halt einige Jahrhunderte. Glück Auf
I don't know if it's just where I'm from in England, but dog walkers always say hello to other dog walkers!
Oh man, hätte euch so gerne getroffen, ich wohne direkt am Harz aber dachte man könne euch nur um Süden Deutschlands finden 😅
Haha. You are in my home area.
I miss the Volksmarches. Nothing like that here in the USA. Now if a bunch of Americans who are Deutch ancestery and who enjoy the culture could get a "Volksmarchen Association" together and host events in Montana and Colorado, that would be cool. 😎 🍺
be the change that you want to see in the world. always say hello, nod, wave...acknowledge the people you see on the trail. some will return the greeting, others will not. it may take weeks, months, years but eventually everyone will join in. and then, one day, people will realize that we are all sisters and brothers in the world, together on our planet.
Schöner Ausflug! :)
Wie heißt denn das Lied am 6:10? Shazam findet es nicht... :D
Coconut - (dyalla remix)
ua-cam.com/video/_2UiKoouqaY/v-deo.html
Fries or Potato Salad?! That's the question! 😁
Both and share with meeeeee!
What is the song in the beginning of the video?? It’s chill af 😋
@@Ashley-jp4nn it's "Coconut - Dyalla remix"
walking through a dead forest - wonderfull germany!
Yes Deanna like you I want to say Hi to acknowledge people as I am walking. I guess that is more of an American thing to do.
2:50 Looks Like the Hogwarts train😂😂
Never seen a real steam train before????
Der bergsteigergruß in Blazern und Österreich ist Servus und in Italien Salve
Eine Brockenwanderung ist was Feines
Preferring Kartoffelsalat to fries is also quite German... but you forgot all about German bildung, though. This always has to go together with wandern. Mens sana in corpore sano.
So homework for the next vid is to prepare a recitation and literary commentary of the Walpurgisnacht from Goethe's Faust:
Die Hexen zu dem Brocken ziehn,
die Stoppel ist gelb, die Saat ist grün.
Dort sammelt sich der große Hauf,
Herr Urian sitzt oben auf.
So geht es über Stein und Stock,
es farzt die Hexe, es stinkt der Bock.
etc.
5:23 Thank You Phil
Ich finde das letzte Stück auf der asphaltierten Straße immer am schlimmsten. Sah bei dir jetzt garnicht so steil aus, Phil. ^^ Ich würde euch empfehlen irgendwann nochmal von Schierke aus auf den Brocken zu wandern. Da steigt ihr dann schön mitten durch den Wald und müsst auch mal ein bisschen mehr "klettern". Das macht mir jedenfalls immer mehr Spaß :D
Kann dem nur zustimmen. Von Schierke aus ist es wirklich interessant vorallem durch die Abwechslung in Steigung und die wechselnden Wege. Wenn man dann zum Schluss auf die asphaltierte Straße kommt ruiniert es ein wenig den Aufstieg. Aber wenigstens hattet ihr etwas mehr Sicht als die 30m bzw. 50m bei meinen letzten Besuchen.
Gotta say: that would have been too crazy many people for me, and trail not interesting enough either. When I hike, I don't want to be surrounded by hundreds of people and I much prefer any sort of natural path.
But, living in the South, I guess I got some "geographical advantages" when it comes to finding hiking trails, so I just skip this sort of "tourist" destination thing ...
Ihr habt gar nicht erwähnt, dass der Brocken laut Legende der Ort ist, um den - in der Walpurgisnacht . die Hexen auf ihren Besen fliegen.
If you like hiking, come ans visit the Schwarzwald. Not as crowded and more spots...
The CUP!! 👍 😃
And yeah... hiking is nice! If you're in good condition, and don't do it everyday ^^
Müsst mal nach Bayern wandern gehen. Da gibt's viele Berge
ohwei, schaut der wald aber übel aus! macht es noch freude, dort zu laufen?
I would look at the other hiker/s and if make eye contact, I would smile or wave and most would do the same. Some people don't make eye contact and that is okay.
Again with the sausage 😆
Looks great! Don't they care about corona in the Biergarten?
Why is eating part the best thing about hiking? Isn't it normal in America?
Second!
🤗💜
Algo-Kommentar!😅
Grüßen im Wald: st auch ein wenig eine Generationsfrage... 50+ grüßt eher als 30- und dazwischen ist halt Glück- oder Pechsache, je nachdem....
👍
Grüße aus dem harz
Hey Phil, im Vergleich zum letzen Harzausflug bist Du aber schon ein bisschen moppeliger geworden, oder? ;-)
Ist aber ok, Du bist ja jetzt verheiratet :)
Only in Germany will you find a national park over run with biergsttens.
Release the Brocken 🐙
😂😂😂
I'm from the Harz and to greet the other hikers is normal. Hikers who don't greet are tourists.
For me is hiking family time and time with the family is the best. :D
Come to Arizona and I'll take y'all hiking, deserts to mountains to canyons!
As a hiker you Greet other hikers
Bin ich der Einzige, der über den Zustand des Waldes erschrocken ist? oO
Nicht unbedingt in dem Sinne dass eine Überraschung ist. Das Problem is eigentlich bekannt und gibt es auch in anderen Wäldern
Traurig zu sehen wie Tod der Wald ist ... 😔
Yes, realy a big part is totaly "Tod"
Tod oder tot?
War halt trocken und der Borkenkäfer und wenn wir ehrlich sind sind diese Fichten auch kein natürlicher Bewuchs.
Es wurde viel als Reparationszahlungen nach dem Krieg abgeholzt und mit schnellwachsenden Fichten aufgeforstet.
6:48 Oh ja die Strecke darf man echt nicht unterschätzen. Im Video kommt das halt überhaupt nicht steil rüber 😂
Bin von Ilsenburg auf den Brocken gewandert, das war echt steil !
@@steffenriedel4752 das stimmt, hab ich auch schon mal gemacht
Für mich als alter Sack ist ja auch spannend, dass ihr die ehemalige innerdeutsche Grenze "überwandert" habt.. Der Brocken war im Osten, Torfhaus im Westen. Die Geschichte hat auch dort ihre Spuren hinterlassen....
Tja, wenn man viel Zeit hat...
I would say that it is customary to greet each other when you meet while hiking or walking in nature. However, if you constantly meet someone, as you do in the video, the behavior tends to approach that in the city and you no longer greet each other every time.
Warum kein Bier? Ist doch verdaut nach 8+km
Ich würde nicht so gerne da oben arbeiten ich meine die arbeiten bestimmt ja sehr lange und dann müssen sie im Dunkeln runter laufen oder fahren
I think that Diana gets thinner and thinner, she really needs more Wurst.
Looks like a ton of dead trees. What's up with that?
Those trees are spruce trees. They are not native to the region (more to colder Scandinavia) but were planted there for timber production in the last centuries. (Maybe due to climate change?) the last summers were very dry and hot plus some heavy storms, which weakened them and made them an easy target for insects like the bark beetle. Since the area became a national park a couple of decades ago dead trees will not be removed anymore and no chemical will be used to decimate the beetles. They hope eventually a more natural, deciduous forest will occur by itself after time.
