Our Story to Tell
Well done girls. Yes, worth for Tanner to see when its much more green around and informe yourself ahead when tours are held. Be prepared for the crowd. Wish you all a nice weekend, stay healthy and hopefully we will see an end to all the sadness in the east and also downunder. Spring season is coming soon and enjoy the upcoming colours, life will be back.
The best treasure you posess......Willa! She's exceptionally special.
Come back in fall and it will be crowded like Disneyland! No kidding!
We are happy we got to experience it during a quiet time then. :)
The "guy" on the tower is Saint Christopher (christo-phorus means Christ bearer in Ancient Greek). There is a legend that he carried the Christ child across a river. He is the patron of travelers, hence the big picture on the tower for the skippers down on the river to see him. This is also the reason why many people still have a plaque of him in their cars. Often times he is depicted at the exit of churches, as it was believed that you won't die a sudden death on the day you saw a picture of St.Christopher.
Yes, and the story goes, that a small kid came to him and asked if he would be strong enough to bring him over the river. The ferryman laught and went with the kid on his shoulders. In the middle of the river, the kid became heavier and heavier and finally the ferryman feared to drown. He said, I feel as if I would carry the whole world. The child said: Not only the world, but also the creator of the world. But because you did so good, you will be called "Christophorus" from today on (with greek pherein or phorus, to carry).
I went by a church at a bridge with a huge mural of him every day from school, so I loved it very much.
Haha, and I even had a plaque of him in a used car I bought.
it is latin not ancient greek comes from christo ferre .
@@michaelkusica5333 Hm, not sure, as it is written with a ph but might be similar in both languages. In greek it is christos and pherein, I do not know latin, though.
@@JakobFischer60 Otto Waalkes was joking he had a christopherus plague at his organ and never crashed another organ :-) Hope it worked as well for you.
Next time at mosel valley you might have a castle for your own: look for Alken (direction to Koblenz, coming from Cochem) and its castle "Burg Thurant", where you can stay overnight.
We love staying at castle's that's for sure!! Thanks for the info! :)
i did my german military service in cochem. theres a nato airbase also having us military stationed there. very cool city indeed.
nice Videos and cute willa, just amazing.
Hi. You are now doing the trip without your husband? Does he return to Bavaria leaving you in Rhineland-Palatinate? But you are doing a great job with your cute little daughter 🙂
No, he was just working the day we decided to make the trip. :) We are all home now, but had a lot of fun in the area!
What about the refugees? Where to spend money?
Check out our posts on our community page as well as our Instagram! 😊
Sometimes I forget, how beautiful my home country is and then I rediscover it, because you show it to me and others. Thank you!
Aww what a compliment! We are happy you enjoy our videos! Thank you! :)
Loving the mother-daughter adventures! Willa is growing so much!!
Antoinette Emily just said on her vlog today that you are hosting refugees from Ukraine. That is really good of you. Our British government keeps using every excuse it can think of to deter migrants from coming. So far, only 50 from Ukraine have been allowed into the UK. The Conservatives have many close ties with Russian oligarchs and have received party donations from them. Many countries in Europe have done far more to support Ukrainians than Britain has so far. One excuse the government repeats is that we can't just allow people to come in without proper visas and checks in case some of them are spies or terrorists in disguise.
She is so kind to point out our channel and help to the refugees 💛 It has been a busy time for us. They don’t deserve this. Follow along our experience hosting them on Instagram!
So cute! I want a 'chocolate coat' too! 😉
The row of houses along the river really reminds me of English seaside towns. That was unexpected! But then the Fachwerkhäuser brought me swiftly back to Germany! I keep seeing pictures of Cochem Castle, so it was nice to see it closer up on video.
You should visit the place in springtime, when the world is green and sunny! Simply amazing!
We believe it's amazing!
Your family ist so sweet germoney is you Home :)
Greetings from West Germany Rheinland cologne
So nice of you to say!! Greetings to you!
What wisdom... chocolate is the answer to almost everything! We're planning on visiting the Moselle Valley during our trip to Germany this summer. So happy to see a preview. As always, thanks for sharing your lovely video!
Willa knows what is up! ;) You will not regret seeing the valley that's for sure! Safe travels in the summer! :) Sounds like a blast!
Cochem is really nice but in summer it can be really overcrowded. And yep western Germany like Oberrheingraben, Rheinland-Pfalz und NRW haben ein deutlich milderes Klima als Franken o die Oberpfalz… zumindest in den Tälern
This is the wrong time for the Mosel😄. You must visite this area in September.
We heard! We were in the area for a work trip and couldn’t pass by stopping, but next time we will go during the Fall.😊
Ha my home
You should come back in summertime when everything's green. That's when the landscape is most beautiful! :)
My parents spend their honeymoon in Cochem, back in the 1960ies. 😉
Didn't want to spoil your image of having seen a medieval castle, but the Reichsburg got the nowaday shape in the late 19th century, during the period of "historysm". Whereas Burg Eltz never was destroyed and still has it's original shape.
Cute little daughter - it's so adorable to watch her growing up! And of course another wonderful video - thanks for having us with you 😉
Thank you! She is surely growing up soo fast! :) Thanks for the love!
Christophorus is also the name of the air rescue helicopters of the german ADAC (german AAA).
Nor only of the ADAC. All German rescue helicopters - no matter of operated by ADAC, DRF or Zivilschutz/Bundespolizei (the orange ones) have the Callsign "Christoph XY" with XY being either a number or the region/city where the helicopter is stationed. "Christopherus XY" is the Callsign of the Austrian rescue helicopters
So you are right in my neighbourhood. If you feel like a thrill, come to the village of Mörsdorf and walk across the suspended bridge across a valley.
We are home now, but we are always up for a good thrill! Next time!! :)
Kirain dfilm2 aja t4 sebagus ini 😩😩
Nice video. When can we expect to see your first video in German language?
Nice video! In which month did you go?
Medieval pictures of "a guy with a stick and a boy on his shoulder" usually refers to the Saint Christopher. The saint of travellers.
I am pretty sure that is whats displyed on the tower.
Often you can see St.Christofferus in cars. He bewares for accidents. Its mostly a silver medail you stick on
Its look really good but you should definitely visit Cochem again in the summertime, it looks so much better ;)
Visit BAUMWIPFELPFAD SAARSCHLEIFE in Mettlach/Saarland. Another great view...
Thank you for the specific suggestion! We love getting them and adding them to our list of things to do and places to go!
The kid on the shoulder is Jesus.
And the guy underneath is St Christopher.
Thanks for the info Andreas and Thomas!
Welcome the beautiful Mosel🥳
Greetz from Klüsserath
Ahh it's so beautiful!! Thanks!
The town is still asleep in winter.
It's busier there in the summer.
A tip: switch the camera from 60 Hz to 50 Hz, then the lamps will no longer flicker.
(Maybe it's also from 30 to 25)
The European electricity frequency is 50 Hz, in the US 60Hz.
Thanks for the tip Jens! :)
Yes you have to visit in the summer or autumn, now the area seems a bit grey
We were at the very same spots (plus some more with a day boat tour down almost to Trier) - and both castles were open. Fun fact. Cochem is reconstructed and so not really old. But the tour was more expensive and not that good as in Burg Eltz. And even though we came to Eltz on a weekday in October, we had then to wait about one hour to get in. The security guy told us that the waiting time in July was up to 4 hours! So maybe it is better to come back in October - and taste one of the special things: "Federweißer" - a young wine from that year. And the colours of autumn are also very nice there.
Thanks for the warning about wait times!
Yes super great info you shared! Thank you for your comment :)
Willa be like, “give me some of those noodles!” 🤗 lol So cute. I loved the Mosel and Rhine river valleys. Some towns were bigger tourist traps than others, but both regions are gorgeous!
Cohem is a stunning place. Been a few times 😜
It's so good you have to go multiple times! :)
True. But try to avoid the Mosel towns when the river is flooding them. And it does that quite regularly. At least used to
Maybe it's gotten better.
We live in Bonn … near Mosel … so beautiful… we love our homeland
We can see why! Incredible area!
Willa so cute~
Die Burg sieht klasse aus. Fahrt auch mal nach Hechingen zur Burg Hohenzollern. Von dort stammt Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Das ist der Mann von der Steuben-Parade v. New York City. 🗽
Really looks like a good trip . Cochem is nice. Not so far from my home. Willa ist so cute ☺
Beautiful!
Hi Risa, the familiy is not complete without Tanner! 🥴 But I enjoy every video. I know you are interested in history, so I hihgly recommend the Bundesbank-Bunker (it is written on the map you fade in and it is a „FED-Bunker“). It was a hidden place for a long time, but now it is a special museum. There was kept substitutional national currency, because other countries tried to destabilize our strong German „Deutsche Mark“. In case of a nessesary sudden switch the Deutsche Bundesbank was prepared. Very interesting! But I guess you have to buy tickets online, you can not visit it by yourself. English guidance recommended! Take care an come to Augsburg, we are the second oldest city after Trier an not very far from your home. Greetings, Jörg
We agree, all of us together make the dream team! But, it's still fun to make little adventures separately too! Thanks for the comment and info. Very interested to read and hear about.
even here i have been ....... just a day before i´ve visited Burg Elz 😂and even this time it was empty ..... not many visitors
Sounds like you timed them right! :)
Thanks for the recommendation for Eltz Castle! Went there yesterday with my wife and we absolutely loved it!
Ahh love to hear you guys went! 😍 It really is so beautiful!
I hope you go forth with your Mosel tour and visit Koblenz.
We have since returned home, but we will have to go back sometime! What should we do in Koblenz when we go?
@@OurStorytoTell Visit the old town center, ride over the Rhine with the cable car and visit the fortress Ehrenbreitstein. For a first impression, a short video I did some time ago: ua-cam.com/video/Q2gAcaWnmCI/v-deo.html
My aunt lives close to cochem
you have to see BKS - Bernkastel Kues the old town is Amazing and Trarben -Trarbach
Thanks for the suggestion! :)
@@OurStorytoTell have fun there i live 30 min. away from there maybe visit my Town too Idar-Oberstein on the Nahe River the Gemstone City with a Church build into a Mountain
You picked a good time to appreciate Cochem. During high season, expect the place to be crowded with tourists, several of whom will have had one or two glasses of cheap Mosel too many.
Good to hear! Thanks Thomas! :) We did it enjoy it being quiet.
Another mother daughter day super cute . Beautiful views, thank you for sharing
You haven't even scratched the surface of Germany and it's beauty .
So much to see, so little time.
Koblenz is beautiful too.
It is the corner where the Moselle meets the Rhine.
You should check out that corner.
That is so true!! We know we have so much to do and see!
@@OurStorytoTell when you get the chance, check out Wuppertal. If you do some research about as to why they built the sky rail, it is an amazing story to share.
maybe check first before you go, it is under repair. but well worth the visit.
@Christoph Feldhaus Ich glaube ja.
Wenn Sie die Geschichte für den Bau lesen.
Und du fährst mit dem Zug, es ist erstaunlich.
Mit einem Zug, der von oben herabhängt, durch die Stadt fliegen.
Allerdings ist das meine Meinung.
@Christoph Feldhaus Ja, ich finde das faszinierend.
@Christoph Feldhaus Wenn Sie in Deutschland und Deutsch sind (ich verallgemeinere hier), dürfen Sie das Baujahr und den Grund für den Bau nicht vergessen. Das Genie zu haben, so etwas zu bauen. Deutschland und die Deutschen sind dem Rest der Welt in menschlichen Aspekten weit voraus. Ich treffe viele Deutsche hier in Australien, alle sagen, es sei ein sehr schönes Land. Dann sage ich ihnen, ja, es ist ein schönes Land, aber wir sind dumm und sehr weit hinter dem Eight Ball (austraIischer Ausdruck für dumm sein)), stimmen sie zu. Ich persönlich glaube immer noch, dass es einen Besuch wert ist. Und ich respektiere deine Meinung auch. (Aber ich habe Recht, Jeez, ich hoffe, du fandest das lustig)
She is such a precious little girl, so sweet, I love to see her growing up in Germany. I sure miss my Home
❤️❤️❤️
What is realy nice in the summer, is also a boat ride on the ,, River Mosel,,. I would like to make a trip this coming summer to this area. . Thanks for charing ,gives me an idea what to do this summer!
