Weihnachtsmärkte are always wonderful but those in medieval castles and Schlösser are truly something else. I'm happy you got to experience this special atmosphere.
We agree!
Castel St. Emmeram belongs to the Family of the Princess of Thurn and Taxis, and it is definitely a visit worth, inside it is unbelievable. I my eyes nicer than the famos Schloss Neuschwanstein! You need to visit it again for a inside trip! Your so adorable 🥰 I love that you three do so much together and are so in love! Thanks for sharing this happiness!
Thanks for the tip Alex! Glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thurn und Taxis is also a great wheatbeer...
Thank you for taking us along :-)
i love how you are trying to entertain your little daughter .... and your daughter is soooooooooooooooooooooo sweet 🐝
Willa chan (Hm, ich treibe mich wohl zuviel mit dem YT-Japan Explorer herum . . .)
Ja, Willa ist so ein süßer Spatz! - Wenn sie lächelt muß man einfach mitlächeln...
Und sie spricht auch inzwischen schon viel mehr. Hoffentlich bald auch Deutsch!
Zweisprachig aufzuwachsen ist solch eine beneidenswerte Chance, ich wünschte ich hätte diese Chance in meiner Kindheit gehabt..!
Hand crafted Christmasstuff. How Special!
If you're in Germany next year this time (and Corona will allow it) try the Christmas Market in Quedlinburg (Saxony-Anhalt). It's called "Advent in den Höfen" (every Advent Weekend they Open the Gates and Show some Fairytales). The City is a beautiful Medival Town in the Harz Area (also Wernigerode and the Castle are beautiful). Doesn't matter which Season you are going - it's kinda magical 😊
Love how Willa wants to steal the olive :)
Never heared one of the christmas songs you put intot he video, but they are all way way way better than everything on the radio.
Hey guys, you're lucky that the Christmas Market was still open. Most are now closed in Germany. Looks really cool. Marissa, you might have tasted blueberry (Heidelbeeren) in your tea. It's sometimes used in Christmas tees. Willa's vocabulary is really growing!
Guess... at some point in the near future this channel should be renamed in "Willas Story told by her parents while eating stuff". ;)
So true!
Cool, :D
Ooooh! Ne alte Rundhaube! The old Mercedes Benz Firetruck with the Roundnose
Couldn't stop smiling thru the entire video. Wish I could visit a market like that close to me.
We are happy it gave you a smile! We hope you can visit a European Christmas market too! 😊
Oh wow, this one is really beautiful! And so, like, traditional, I love that.
Such a lovely video to watch...:-):-) Thank you for taking us along to this beautiful Christmas market and thanks for the nice music you chose for this video!
You put a big smile on my face. Thank you so much. Have a wonderful day lovelies.
Thanks Ilka! Have a great day too.
Regensburg is my very favourite Christmas market! You were sooooo lucky! We usually go there Christmas shopping just before Christmas, in the snow if we‘re lucky! I’m very glad you got to see it!
Thanks Lauren! We love Regensburg and we were glad to have made it there for the market.
@@OurStorytoTell And Regensburg is not only a Christmas Market: It’s a great, old city with so much history and architecture
Fun fact: Until 1800, Regensburg had more inhabitants than Berlin 😄
What a beautiful heart warming video. Thank you for sharing your wonderful moments.
Thank you so much for visiting our city and our Schloss 😁
We are very proud of our old city centre, our cathedral and the stone bridge 😄
(and maybe since 5 years of our football club 😆)
Regensburg bietet so viel Schönes. Eine tolle Stadt. Aber wenn du den Jahn erwähnst, gehören auch die Eisbären in die Aufzählung. 😉
@@arndb6699 Wie gsagt, I bin eher der Fußballer, die Eisbären sind natürlich auch super, wobei ich da die aktuelle Situation ned einschätzn kann 😉
I love christmasmarkets like these one. I haven't been at any christmasmarkets this year, because of corona. I miss it. But safety first. Here are All forbidden. Regensburg is too far away. Willa is so cute. I love watching your Vlogs.
Der war auch nur ne Zeit lang offen, sie waren wahrscheinlich grade noch rechtzeitig da, bevor König Markus (ehrlich gesagt zum Glück) alle Märkte zugemacht hat
Really good video. Thanks for posting. It really put me in the mood for Christmas -which will be here soon!
Loved this video too! Watching you guys at the markets brings back such great memories I’ve had and will have again! This market looked really nice, I’ll be adding it to my list for next year.
Thanks Bob! We hope you can get to some markets next year.
Usually the Christmas tree in the yard is wayyy bigger than it was this year🎄🎄 but turn und taxis is definitely the most beautiful Christkindlmarkt I know. Of course it’s expensive but we go there every year at least two or three times since I’m a baby. We’re lucky that we get entrance for free cause we sing every year at the opening, that’s also why we go there very often😇🙈
Und tschuldigung für mein Englisch haha
PS: Next time you should really try the Langosch and the Flammlachs it’s deliciouuus😋
Feel like I know you! Your videos are so personal and inclusive to your audience. Love watching Willa grow up and experience so much! Thanks for taking us along!❤️
Thanks JJ! We hope they are relatable and can show truly a bit of who we are. Shes is growing up so fast, isn't she?
@@OurStorytoTell Willa is just too precious and yes she is growing up fast. Hang on they don't stay little long. Merry Christmas from Texas 🎄🤠.
am experiencing the xmas markets through you. Keep those videos coming. 🌼
Beautiful !✨✨✨ thanks for this vlog, please show us more Christmas markets 🥰
We'll keep trying to show as much as we can:)
Lllloved that you went to our former home town!
So Happy you managed to visit some Christmas markets in Germany 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Next year i can visit some & the One In Edinburgh
What with corvid lot were canceled or due to all the paper work to travel & tests.
Beautiful footage looks such. Stunning place where you were .🥰
Have a lovley week
That looks more like a château or palace than a castle 😮
Edit: oooh Schloss Thurn & Taxis!
(Folk etymology has it that Taxi (as in cab) comes from that family: allegedly Franz von Taxis of House Thurn and Taxis - who was Postmaster for Philip of Burgundy in the 16th century - and Franz’s nephew Johann Baptiste von Taxis - who was General Postmaster for the Holy Roman Empire - instituted fast and reliable postal services (mainly for letters but some routes also transported people) across Europe, but that is wrong, ofc! 😂
The etymology actually derives from the taximeter used to calculate the fare.)
Every video cracks me up with Willa. If she sees food, she seems like trying to hypnotize the food to just jump in her mouth. She obviously loves food 😉
Haha it’s so true 😂
That looked like a really nice Xmas market there in Regensburg. Looks you that you got to go before they all got closed down.
We got there for one of the last weekends, so we got lucky. We loved it and hope to go back sometime!
Yes, thx taking us to this christmas market. I think heaven for Risa to see so many ideas of christmas decorations and also for all of you the specific food offered around this time. Btw, how many different mugs already found their way into your house ? Tanner, as you are always interested also in history do you know about the history of the Thurn and Taxis house and their role in german history ? Poor Willa, dad talks and talks and also take a bite and me ??? Just get an olive only :-D No, as seen Willa had fun as well and you all enjoyed your visit. Well done guys. Have a nice time
Very nice! I cannot visit my relatives in Hamburg for yet another year (last time Christmas 2019), so watching your trips to Christmas Markets is the next best thing.
Ah, that's a bummer you haven't been able to see them for some time! Hopefully sometime in 2022 🤞🏼.
Tiroler gröstl mit spiegelei is one of my favorites
I love those cozy Castle type Christmas markets so much...I miss south of Germany. I used to live in Munich when I was 10. The mini Alpaca looked like Taylor Lautner xd as usual a massive thumbs up! Sadly I got diagnosed with Diabetes Type 2, so I cant enjoy the Christmas markets the way I would want to but I might be able to do it again properly next year, if I loose a few kilos and I can get rid of it by walking a lot. The way your Videos are shot are so lovely... Hope you have great Holidays!
Thank you! We hope you are able to manage your diabetes well & enjoy your best life!
Glad you liked the Gröstl. That's an essential food in Bavarian
I dont know how you did it, but I must say Willa is one of the cutest kids I've ever seen.
Your daughter is so cute ❤️ have fun 😊
Thank you! 💛
The markets are beautiful and mind blowing! I didn’t see a lot of 🇩🇪 Christmas markets during my military brat days, but I’m planning a market hopping trip with my fiancé once Covid-19 quiets down.
Great video again! I hope you enjoyed the Regensburg Xmass market. This year you should go for Weihnachtsmarkt Guteneck. It ll blow your mind... 😉
Thanks! We did enjoy it. We believe you it will blow our minds! Hopefully this year we can visit it 😊
Y'all are so cute together 😊
Very nice location - never heard of that market 😇
This looks so beautiful! Christmas markets are not allowed in my state this year. But we will actually go to another state tomorrow and visit the christmas market there. I hope it's good.
Basically this palace has nothing to do with knights, it’s a former monastery that was given to the House of Thurn und Taxis in 1810.
It was then turned into a palace in the following decades.
Tanner your german is getting so good. good job :)
In around 1500 the Earl of Thurn and Taxis had a brilliant idea. They would organize a mailcoach service all over the vast area of the Holy Roman Empire. All the emperor had to do was to give them the privilege to do so. I do not know when they started to paint their waggons and coaches bright yellow but that colour for the postal service in German lands goes back to them, as well as that "postal horn" logo.
Interesting! We had wondered what that symbol meant or where it came from.
@@OurStorytoTell Until the 1960s it still looked like a real horn, the Greek postal service still uses a very similar design.
Ich genieße eure Videos. Ich hoffe ihr besucht nächsten Sommer mal den Bodensee. Da gibt es echt viel zu erkunden.
I enjoy your videos. I hope you visit next summer times the Lake Constance. There is really a lot to explore.
We hope we can get there as well! 😍 Have a Merry Christmas!
I was there too on that day 😄
Really? Did you see us? 😊
The Family Turn und Taxis make all years Chriskindlmarket in Regensburg
Hi. Love your adventure, wish I were there. Have you considered visiting Oberndorf on the German-Austrian border just north of Saltzburg? This is where the "Silent Night" Chrismas carol originated from.
We haven't really looked into that at all, but it would be a great idea!
I really have to suggest to you coming to vienna during december. You will love the christmas market at Schloss Schönbrunn and all the others in the city.
Thanks for the recommendation! There are so many places to visit during December and the Christmas festivals. We’ll have to see how this winter turns out and if we can make it there :)
Greetings from Regensburg!
We love Regensburg!
@@OurStorytoTell Doors and hearts are always open :)
Amazing how much you can eat 😉
This type of pizza bread you will find nearly on every Christmas market. I never buy it, because it often looks like the dough is not backed through...
I've never been to the Thurn and Taxis palace in Regensburg, though the illuminated facades and setting reminded me of Schwerin. There was a Chrismast market on the main pedestrian street and market square - but a smaller second one in the courtyard of the castle palace.
👍🏻
When the parking garages are full. When a car drives out, the machine lets a car in again. If it is full then the button is not active.
For ornaments, if you ever see a market stall that advertises being from Lauscha, I's suggest you have a look. The city specializes in making Christmas ornaments all year long. But they focus on baubles and other glass ornaments, not so much wood.
Thanks for the heads up!! We will look out!
Tanner's hair has grown back fast. 😎
😂 ya, this obviously was right before I got my hair cut. It's a good thing hair doesn't grow that fast!
The Advent brings you into the right Christmasfeeling,isnt it?
To Easter we make big Campfires,thats part of the christian Tradition too.
Keep that on you List for next Year.
👍
Actually Kinderpunsch is wintry seasoned fruit juice while Glühwein/mulled wine is wintry seasoned wine.
Risa figuring out what the punsch tastes like, but she cannot quite tell... next song: Maybe it's the peppermint smell from the candle.... 🎶 Funny coincidence 😅 Lovely video, as always! 🥰
Thanks Mimi :)
Guys, if you are in Regensburg, you need to visit Strasbourg! It has a great Christmas Market, too (if things haven't changed too much since I was there). Not sure about Covid restrictions for France, but this is the season for visiting Strasbourg/Straßburg (if you haven't already).
And since you guys are foodies: in Strasbourg, you gotta try Alsatian pizza = Elsässer Flammkuchen. Thin crust, onions and bacon on Crème fraîche.
Oh my 😋😋 sounds amazing!! Thanks for the tips! We haven’t been there yet, but oh boy do we want to go!
Hi there ! Wow, what a beautiful Christmas market... may I suggest another Christmas market to you ? Probably one of the most beautiful in Europe, if not in the world. Try out the Christmas market in Strasbourg, France (directly behind the German / French border in Kehl). It's in the old town of Strasbourg and really worth the long drive. Maybr stay there overnight and also take a look at the cathedral (outside AND inside), your jaw will drop, believe me. Best wishes : Gerry
Thank you so much! We have actually had our eye out this Christmas market. It truly looks incredible! :) Next year hopefully we can cross it off our bucket list! Love the suggestion Gerry! Have a great week!
So nice to see the Christmas market I like through your eyes. I am glad you enjoyed the tip.
Willa is adorable and gets cuter and cuter.
PS: Any progress Kita- or Kindergarten wise?
Thank you!! Actually yes! She will be starting soon! 🤗🤗 We will keep you guys updated on our experience! Thanks for your thoughtfulness.
@@OurStorytoTell that’s excellent! Congrats! She will love it.
the term "Gröstl" means basically "a mixture of various food things got put together in a pan and got roasted" = that long explanation is what that short term "Gröstl" literally means ;D....
It is usually a lots of potatoes + onions with either pieces of pork roast or with bacon or both... also variations with all different kinds of blood sausages is very common as well..
These reindeers are looking really ... llamaesque.
You made an awsome improvement in language in that time you are here! Your understanding seems to be pretty solid, your pronouncing is realy good and the more fluent and longer speaking will come by time :)
Thank you! 😊
Your kid is cute, yo!
Hey thanks! We agree 😉
Kinderpunsch ist not exactly the same.
You can make more real Glühwein at home.
In some supermarkets you can get alcoholfree wine.
It tastes more like real wine and not like grape juice.
You can use this and the spices to make your own one.
fun video, you should get paid for promoting this Christmas-Market from Thurn & Taxis....lol. There are beautiful markets all over Germany, since living in Berlin for 15 years now, i do love the ones at Charlottenburger Schloss and Gendarmenmarkt best exactly for the same reason, the historic sites surrounding the market giving them a special vibe. PS. Willa starts to be bubbling... yeah... this will be interesting with her commenting on everythig
regensburg jeeee you must try eichofner helles best bier
The Kinderpunsch was probably made of/ from plum and elder? 👏
this is how a xmas market should be. because it is not, there are/were many xmas market tours around the country to special traditional xmas markets.
This Castle is owned by Gloria von Thurn und Taxis. She is a real German Princess, and a real German Billionaire!!!
So cool!
Kinderpunsh is not the alcohol-free version of Glühwein; there is also punch with alcohol for adults! 😂
Could you take those mugs with the T&T family coat-of-arms back home as a souvenir? There surely was a refund on them and then it is a question of calculation whether to hand them back.
Yes, you could keep them if you wanted to! We aren't much of collectors, so we got the refund when we were all done with it.
When you go to Burg Satzvey in NRW, tehre is a "Middelage Market" at and in the castle. Look for that in your region. the plates with your foot was eatable, is that wright?
We think so. We didn't eat them, but they were falling apart towards the end of our meal. Do you know what they are made of? Like a cracker or wafer?
@@OurStorytoTell it´s like an icecream wafer with out sugar it taste a little bit salty.
@Dieter Mittelalter is medieval in english. certainly not immediately obvious.
@@uliwehner das tut mir sehr leid.das ich den falschen Begriff genommen habe.Aber scheinbar hast du es ja verstanden, sonst hättest du mich nicht berichtigen können.
@@dieteroffermann3880 just trying to help. That is how i still improve today
Kann mir das mal einer erklären, ich dachte in Bayern wären von Söder alle Weihnachtsmärkte wegen Corona abgesagt worden. In München hat kein einziger auf. Wieso ist das in Regensburg erlaubt?
Jepp, habe mich auch gerade gewundert... Hier in BW ist alles dicht.
Viele Weihnachtsmärkte haben ja schon im November aufgemacht. Die waren dann etwas auf bevor wieder alles zu gemacht hat. Das Video ist ja nicht von gestern oder vorgestern sonder wahrscheinlich ein paar Wochen alt.
@@verenak2158 Genauso is es
Thurn und Taxis öffnet traditionell schon Ende November
Genauso is es. Bin Regensburger... Der Christkindlmarkt im Schloss hatte nur wenige Tage geöffnet
Kann sein, dass die Landesregierung nix zu sagen hat, weil es privates Gelände ist. Die meisten Mätkte sind ja auf öffentlichen Plätzen.
That's a palace or château. Not a castle. There can be some overlap due to later conversions, but this clearly doesn't have any military function
The Thurn and Taxis Christmas Market in Regensburg is one of the best in Europe. My wife loved their version of Santa Claus dressed in a red cardinal suit talking to little children and handing out apples and oranges. OBTW, Germans are not known for their pizza. Even the Italians who brag about their pizza cannot match American’s pizza. Stick with what they’re good at. Traditional German food.
That Saint Nicolas, not Santa
that's funny. Italians are not good at making american pizza :) they are good at making italian pizza, though. but, yes, german christmas specialties at the weihnachtsmarkt.
I wonder: has the English language changed, so that people say „more sweet“ instead of sweeter? Sounds weird to me.
1:21 "Vixxer" ?
Dorfanalphabeten
LOL
Schraip, wi du schprichs . . .
The completely stupid 2G rules make the Christmas markets to sad, very deserted places.
70 % of the population is vaccinated so not the 2 G rules are the reason for small amount of people at the christmas markets but that people are afraid of catching covid and thats why they do not want to go to the markets.
@@sollytrotz6056 That is unquestionable. Unfortunately (!)
this fear and panic is promoted by politics.
@@kermitfrosch6559 I wouldn''t say its promoted by politics but a clear consequence from living in rather uncertain times which a pandemic naturally inhabits. These times are strange so we all have to be a little extra considerate with each and everyone and respect their decisions, fears and feelings. Also personally I was glad that the Christmas markets were a bit less crowded, I actually had a much more pleasant experience than ever before. Nonetheless its a pity for all those shack owners hoping to make up for the lost revenue of the past year....
Deserted Place? I am working in the inner city, near the christmas market. Believe me, there is nothing deserted, quite the opposite.
