GIANT ICE CAVES, GLACIERS, Hikes & More! 🇦🇹 Austria's STUNNING Salzkammergut Region
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июл 2022
- Come along with us as we visit giant ice caves, hike near glaciers, swim and play in Hallstättersee, and have an incredible time in Austria's Salzkammergut region in the Dachstein mountain range! Austria's Alps are sometimes underrated - many think of Switzerland when they think of the Alps, and they are magnificent there as well. But it is more affordable to vacation in Austria, and you still get nearly the same experience as in the Swiss Alps. We LOVE this region of the world and aren't done exploring it just yet!
//In the first video in this series, we visited Hallstatt!//
The tiny village of Hallstatt, Austria, is known as the most "Instagrammable" town in the world. A town that was the inspiration for Arrendale in Disney's, Frozen movie. A town so beautiful a replica of it was built in China. A town where tens of thousands of tourists flock for just a few hours each day to take some photos for Instagram 😳. But do they know WHY this small village of only 725 people is so important? Do they know it has 7,000 years of history and was important all through Europe? On this trip, our family set out to have a fun mountain vacation and learn about Hallstatt while avoiding the cheap tourist traps.

Graysons pronunciation of the caves name was perfect!
I noticed this as well!
Thank you!
Yes he sounds like a native German - even with a barely noticable Bavarian accent. So cute (although I'm afraight boys of this age don't want to be cute....)
Watching your videos is like watching a season of my favourite series - and looking forward to the next episode. Your family has become so familiar to me and I enjoy your experiences in Germany!
That is true. Rather no accent.
Austria is great for holidays in summer and winter. I love the hospitality, the food and the fantastic diversity they offer. Especially the Austrians always having kids and children activities in mind. Love your work 🥰🥰🥰
It was so cool to hear Kevin speak German in an everyday situation. It seems like you guys really found a new home and feel comfortable here in Germany.
Or in Austria ;-)
It's very similar ;-)
I was going to edit that out, then thought it was kind cool to leave it in so you guys could hear him speak! His German has gotten quite good.
We do love both countries 😍
The interesting thing is that there are actually 2 large caves at the Dachstein - the Rieseneishöhle and the Mammuthöhle - right next to each other, but they are completely different. Mammuthöhle is a "normal" stone cave, whereas Rieseneishöhle is an ice cave with permanent ice all year round. This is because of its special shape which traps cold air during the winter.
The ice cave is comparatively 'small' (known length is currently 2700m), but the Mammuthöhle is one of the largest caves in the Alps (over 70km are explored so far; the known vertical extend is ~1200m). It is assumed that both are actually part of a much larger system, and also connected to caves on the other side of the mountain range. If this is found to be true they would be among the the 10 largest cave systems in the world.
Wow!! So amazing, thanks for sharing that. We wanted to visit the Mammoth cave but we didn’t have enough time or energy. Now that you tell us more about it, I wish we would have.
It's so nice to see how you all enjoyed yourselves in front of such a wonderful scenery.
Thank you, Indira 🙂
It is amazing that your childern understand the tour guide after one year in Germany - and he speaks with an Austrian accent which makes it even more amazing!!!
Nice to see you had a good time in my home country, you're such a lovely family. And it's amazing how quickly children pick up languages, it is actually a big advantage and a privilege having the chance to learn different languages as a kid. It's so much easier than learning them as an adult. The boy pronounced Koppenbrüllerhöhle exactly like a Bavarian or Austrian would do.
Yes!! Koppenbrüllerhöhle!! Our son Grayson has worked quite hard in school, so thank you for that.
Hey Sara, two videos in one week? What did we do to deseve this special treat? 😉
Bowling in the american sense can be found often as well in Germany. For Kegeln, you can play in a variety of modes, so depending on what is set it can be quite similar to bowling (except for it having a different number of pins and no finger holes in the ball), or quite different. 😆 And yes, in most larger venues you also have to rent shoes (or have some of your own), so the floor is kept clean and smooth.
Hi liege Christian!! Okay good to know. Next time we won’t look like complete fools 😂 but the family playing next to us had kids and it was a big mess for them, too! And they were German.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife I've been bowling (or Kegeln) with kids several times, and it's always an interesting experience. 😆 The balls go everywhere... 😆One bowling place here in Trier has edges they can move up, so the balls stay on track and always hit the pins.
PS: "liege"? 🤔How did I earn that title? 😉
"It was a dark and stormy night!" 😂🥰 I love how his brain works!
Right? Griffin is so much fun. He’s like that even when the camera is off.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife he is so witty!
Wow, what a wonderful surprise, another wonderful video of you guys and your trip to Hallstatt in Austria.
I'm so happy that you had such a good time and the kids with the water.
I'm impressed how wonderful there are swimming, it's really important that they can do that.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Hi Robert! Thanks as always for your kind comments. Yeah the kids have gotten used to colder water living here this past year.
Skittles (Kegel) is considered to be one of the oldest sports of all. For example, a game of skittles for children from ancient Egypt was found during excavations. Preliminary forms of our present-day game can be found in the early Middle Ages. Kegeln is described in documents from that time as a widespread popular pastime. Even later, kegeln finds famous followers such as Schiller or Goethe. During their lifetime, kegeln was not to be missed at any fair. The game was often played for money or material goods. Emigrants and adventurers eventually took the popular game to all corners of the world, including the United States. There it was banned in 1837 because cheating was too common in kegeln. But this shows the inventiveness of the emigrants, who did not want to give up the game. Without further ado, they added a cone, so now they played with ten cones instead of nine, and set them up in a triangle instead of a square. In addition, from now on the cones were called pins. The "new" game was henceforth called bowling and also spread rapidly throughout the world. Today it is even more popular than the original kegeln, although the rules are very similar, and the tradition of kegeln is much older than the history of bowling.
Now that is an interesting comment if ever I've seen one. Thank you, I actually did not know all that and i.m.h.o. it's very entertaining and informative.
Understanding Austrian is another level, but Bavarian helps. I prefer your videos. You are an enrichment for our country. Thank you!
A cooperation with other channels would be great. Live stream?
Hi Arno! Yeah that’s true! Hearing Bavarian everyday does help us in Austria. But their accents are even different from Bavarian so we can get a bit confused - especially the cave guides. They speak with a super thick accent 😂 but it was charming.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife georgious naswer
Beautiful video (as always).
Seeing the kids so confident in themselves, ready to explore, testing what they are okay with and what not is amazing!
Well done!
so true 🙋♂️😍
Moving here has definitely helped the kids to not be afraid to get out of their comfort zones and explore more and more.
And I’m so glad it’s the German way to let kids explore and not helicopter them as that has always been our style of parenting! So we fit right in here with other families.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife you do! We are so happy you are here!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife 🙃
You 6 are the best example, how people all over the world are one. And the progress that you made is outstanding...Congrats!
Very nice video ! And it's amazing to see what kind of engergy-bundles your kids are. Especially the litte Ella. She tries everything what her great brothers do, without getting tired.
Yes that’s very true! She is always trying to keep up with her brothers. 😅
Greyson again with the expert pronunciation
3 days ago I had thoughts about what short trips I want to go next year and looked up the Dachstein region and Hallstatt and voila today I can watch the best advertising film about it. Now I will definitely go!!! Thank you for this really amazing and inspiring video.
Oh nice! You will love it!
The waitress asked in English - very nice of her. And Kevin answered back in German : )
I am glad you like my country! have a nice trip!
I'm really glad you're enjoying Austria! :D The Salzkammergut really is one of the most beautiful regions. If you can, you should come back on a nice October day, it's so beautiful with the leaves changing.
Going back in October is a great idea! It would be glorious!
Indian Summer
Austria is one of the most beautiful countries in Europe culturally and scenically. There is no doubt about that. That pleases the Germans, Dutch, British and Americans alike.
We live in Austria and we LOVE it.......
Spectacular, memorable views - as always. Besides, you have noticed the differences between "Kegeln" and "Bowling". Slightly different rules, 9 - instead of 10 pins, smaller, lighter balls, mostly without holes. If the stories can be believed "Bowling" was some kind of reinvention of the "Kegeln" game in the US. "Kegeln" got banned in Conneticut because many players were bowling for money and cheating was common, the idea was born to change the game to get around the ban.
So stunningly beautiful !!!!
7:17
That's right. 😉
I was 1994 in the Eisriesenhöhle, but i think there was way more ice in there.
We walked through a tunnel made of ice.
I think it's one of the biggest cave's in the world, or the biggest.
At this time when i was there the cave wasn't even complete explored.
It amazing how children pick up the new languages from just being expose and school. I am glad you enjoy your time in beautiful Austria. I knew someone who live in Switzerland went to my camp in US.
20:32 Sara is no longer a American helicopter mommy. She even keeps filming happily and tells when Griffin runs down a slope faster than a ibex. 🙃
Will the McFalls manage to reach 40,000 subscribers by the end of the Oktoberfest?
I say yes! 😉
Wow looks stunning there superb scenery! Hope you all had a great time.
I saw my first glacier last year, up close, with water pooling right in front of it and I think this is an experience I will never forget. I am not sure if I have every seen something more beautiful. This huge amount of cold hard ice that is so strong it is carving out the mountain, yet on the other hand it is so delicate and vulnerable that I might experience some of the glaciers vanishing completely within my lifetime. It actually made me want to protect our planet and our environment even more.
And guys your German pronunciation is getting better and better! You are making good progress!
Very enjoyable ... thanks!
that your little daughter could keep up with all these hikes.amazing. and that with the mountain air. ok you still have to practice "kegeln". By the way, there are many different types of "kegeln".similar to dice games. I also found the musical accompaniment during the cave tour funny. bach and richard strauss music. what I also liked is that you took your own food with you. not only that you save money, but so you also make yourself more independent of the tourist places. what great views there on the roof of Europe . but what I also don't understand, how can you jump and swim so easily in cold beer lakes? all insane😂
Great video as always. Thank you.
Thank you!
Such an awesome vacation, which will leave you with good memories for years
Yes it really will leave us with sweet memories.
Love all your videos!!!!!!!
Hi guys! Austria is really great isn't it? I have another tip for you, probably not far from you, just across the border in Austria (I believe it's Reutte), is a place called Burgenwelt Ehrenberg. We went there in the winter and it was fun, close to skiing spots by car - of course summer might be even better as there are playgrounds there too. There's a castle and a highline bridge, and there is a museum of Knights. The kids can try to hold weapons and wear armor. There's a hotel there and a nice restaurant too. I think if you stay at the hotel you get a pass for free admission to the town's indoor pool and other sites/activities.
Kegeln, where almost every restaurant even in small villages had at least one or two „Kegelbahnen“ down in the basement or even directly at the side of the restaurant’s room where people sit and eat or celebrate their wedding/anniversary/birthday. But I don‘t know how much of them today are still operating.
But today you can find at least one bowling alley in almost every larger city.
So while „Kegeln“ was a sport that my parents did in their spare time and where there were many sport clubs were you could do competitive „Kegelsport“, now there aren‘t so much „Kegelklubs“ anymore. Those amateur hobby „Kegler“ and „Keglerinnen“ once were famous for their „Kegelklubtreffen“ at hotels and resorts where they were partying.
Those „Kegelklubtreffen“ often were a big part of the income of those hotels and some hotels became famous for hosting those events like i.e. the „Sauerlandstern“ in Willingen/Hessen. Those „Kegelklubtreffen“ were the boomer generation equivalent to modern day Mallorca/Ballermann- or Après-Ski-Parties. 😉
Ah cool! Thanks for giving us this view back to the past.
my mum was in a keglerclub back in the 80ties.. my dad and i were abandoned once a week while she was out with her girlfriends to go kegeln. after midnight, my mum called home, mostly very drunk and asked my dad to pick her up. every once and a while the husbands were allowed to come with the Keglerinnen and they would have a huge party.
Wow! This is a beautiful place .😲 Love watching your videos. Fun and very informative video.
Amazing Musical score...
Prima, mitten ein der Woche ein neues Reisevideo von euch. Das hat viele schöne Erinnerungen geweckt, an einen Familienurlaub vor ca. 30 Jahren. Wir waren auf dem Campingplatz in Obertraun und haben exakt die selben Orte besucht wie ihr. Wie schön, das alles noch einmal sehen zu können! 😃👍
Almost looks like a commercial break for Austria. Nice region. I like the mountains. I'm half an Austrian. Father was born im Burgenland. No mountains, but good wine over there. And you like good wine, as I know. The "Uhudler" is very special for the Burgenland. Need to try it.
Ooo okay, thanks for the wine suggestion! We do like wine 🍷 hehe.
Southern styrian wine region would also be a nice region for you to explore! Have fun!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife I know people from Burgenland are proud of their special "Uhudler", like Styrians like their "Schilcher" wine, but it's a little like the Word "Oachkatzlschwoaf", which non-German speaking people are often told to pronounce if they want to speak German- they are just not representative! If you like really GOOD wine ,try some of the awesome reds from Burgenland, like Scheiblhofer, Umathum,Pöckl,Schwarz or even the cheaper Hillinger wines you can buy at Hofer (Austrian Aldi).They will all give you a better impression of great wine from Burgenland, and after that you can try Uhudler just for fun.
You are so blessed living so close to the Alps and are able to visit destinations nearby in Austria. I wish the distance to the Alps would be closer where I am living. I have to drive 500km reaching the Alps. Maybe I am able to make holiday in the mountains this summer or in autumn. When I was a kid we have visited another Eishöhle in Austria. It was the Eisriesenwelt near Werfen in the Salzburger Land. It ist the biggest ice cave in the world. And we also visited a Salzbergwerk in the Berchtesgadener Land. Danke für das tolle Video!
Ah yes! That Salzbergwerk is only 45 mins from us! We need to take the kids on a weekend. So cool you went there as a kid!
Absolutely stunning scenery reminds we of La Suisse 💕
Ella really seems to be growing up so fast now! Like, she really seems to go through a growing spurt. She seems so tall now. xD
Yes! She has grown a lot this past year. All that good German food and outside air!
oh, sara... thank you for that. I'm not sure why, but I got quite emotional seeing all these amazing sights, the wild geraniums, the blue "Schusternagerl"-Enzian (cobblers nails) the (sadly shrinking) glaciers. Thanks for taking us along for the day!
(I had an educational "wait, what?" moment when the tourguide in the ice cave explained they open it to the outside in winter in order to keep it cool inside - that was so funny)
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Lavinia! 🥰
Really great how you can do it with 4 kids. I know a few parents who are already overwhelmed with2.And then you also produce such great videos;respect!
Oh, ein Donnerstagsvideo! Guten Morgen!
Werde ich mir nachher ansehen! ;-)
😃😃 hi!
Nice to see you have had a nice vacation in my home-area 😎 too bad I didnt know you were coming, youd have had a personal guide ;D
You did make the right sight-seeing desicions though ;)
Its like a dream! What u came through its just like a big adventure we`re all watrching. I really enjoy ur videos. Pls keep updating us and have a good and stressless life with all ur children in germany!!! :)) :D greetings from munich
Wow beautiful
Oh, what a nice trip!
Will you visit the other countys in Germany, for example Thuringia, Saxonia, Hesse & others? 🙂
In Thuringia I can recommended you the Saalfelder Feengrotten (Saalfelder fairy Grottoes), Schloss Altenstein & its park in Bad Liebenstein , the Zeiss-Planetarium in Jena, Baumkronenpfad (a path through the treetops) in Hainichen, Wartburg Castle in Eisenach, The Dance-and Folkfestival in Rudolstadt, etc.
Thuringia is a little bit like Bavaria. Great for hiking! There is the oldest and most popular hiking trail in Germany, the Rennsteig. And Thuringia has the most density of castles in Europe!
I live in the North of Bavaria but Thuringia is my favourite county in Germany - its still a insider tip 🥰
5:02 that was clean
12:11 I fully agree - it is so funny sometimes the one does discover another meaning of a sentence during speaking. Honestly so great, I loll'd
😂😂😂
Again a super beautiful video.
Informative and entertaining and really professionally edited very big compliment !!!
For someone interested in history is a great pleasure to watch it. Have a wonderful vacation with our neighbors, with whom we are not only connected by language.
If it's not too scary for the kids, I still recommend the World Heritage Ossuary (Bone House) in St. Michael's Chapel.
Stunning, stunning, stunning. I mean, who needs Netflix when we've got you, right? Consider yourselves über-lucky to be located where you are, at the nexus of Europe's wonders. Smart move. Everything's within reach. As a German expat stuck on the British Isles it is a reminder of how, despite all the difficulties, the European idea does pay off in the end. You really have a sizeable part of the world at your fingertips. Just think, if you wanted, you could bike from Traunstein to China. Overland! Crazy. So, keep 'em coming, with your amazing kids blasting the way! Lots of love from London
00:46 that straight attack on the Bachforelle hurts, but generally it is remarkable that he in his age tried the full fish. The perfect breaking down will be the next step, the reward will be the bite without any fishbones.
So amazingly intelligent boys... So young to think all the logics and theories... The future scientists of Germany...
Misty mornings - :-)
Wow, Graysons pronunciation was very good. No wonder the children are now better in German (Even Ella), they are immersed and learn German not only in German classes but since all their other subjects are taught in German (and their classmates use it to communicate with them) they have a huge advantage over you both. We have both Bowling and "Kegeln" here, aside from the difference in the amount and placement of the pins, the holes and weight of the balls there is a reason why the need for special footwear differs, because the area you start on to release the ball in Bowling is usually the same (wood) as the lane they roll, while most of the time playing "Kegeln" the floor is mostly the normal floor (often carpet) of the rest of the area. Bowling shoes are intended for the protection of the wooden lane (not only from destruction but also from dirt or discoloration). I prefer Bowling because you have more controll over the ball because of the 3 holes (tbh, so far I have never seen any holes in the ball "Kegeln" but the last time I played it was over 30 years ago). I love how many different you things during your vacation, I love your channel and noticing you comment in videos of other Americans currently livng in Germany (and vacationing not far from it) like recently a video from Hayley Alexis.
You do nothing more than remind me of my own childhood when my parents took me (and my sisters) to all of these places you feature in your vid. I think I was 5,when we visited the ice cave and the Salzbergwerk. Just a couple of years ago I took my wife and son to those places.
Being an Austrian myself I highly recommend visiting the Großglockner Hochalpenstraße, the Krimmler Wasserfälle, the Umball Falls in Osttirol, Innsbruck with the Hungerburgbahn und Cablecar up to Hafelekar and on the way back you can visit the Alpen zoo. If ever you come to Lower Austria you should take a ship from Krems to Melk and then visit the Burgruine Aggstein.
These suggestions sound awesome! Thank you!
4:37 6 Pack!!! - clearly for all to see !!! - no denials pls 👍😀
The caves looks familiar to me. More than 25 years ago we were in Filzmoos. I don't remember any complaints of our 5-year dauther because the hike to the caves. The glacier on the top of the Dachstein became shorter. It is definitely a good region for vacation, also for people without an instagramaccount. :-)
nice to see you guys. Such a lovely Bunch. :-). Wonder when you will visit Switzerland. The Italien Part (Lugano / Locarno) is very nice during sommer / early fall. Check it out! Best.
Just read that you will upload a Video and here we go 😃
Same 😀
You’re right on time!
Kegeln is almost the same like bowling, minus one pin, minus the holes in the bowls and smaller balls. The goal is to know all them pins over. If the ball goes into the gutter, it is commonly referred to as "Pudel" - poodle. 😀
Thank you fo respecting the europäische nature 😻
Next time can you can check out the Kaprun Area and the Kitzsteinhorn. Great for wintersports too.
Okay great! We love suggestions!
That's funny... You did exact the things on your trip that I did 10 years ago when I was 16...the Eishöhle and the Salzbergwerk
Oh cool! 😎 It’s such a great region to visit.
We have also Bowling-Centers in Germany! Almost in the bigger towns.
Im Sommer eine Schneeballschlacht zu machen macht unglaublichen Spaß!
There are many different games that you can play on a "Kegelbahn", normally using pencil and paper or an even more old-fashioned blackboard.
Maybe try to get in touch with a local "Kegelclub", when you're back home.
I'm sure, there are some in your area and that they'd be delighted to introduce you to the world of "Pudelkönige", "Sarg kegeln", and "Tannenbaum kegeln". 😀
And you never know - you might get friends with some of them. 😉
Hi McFall family 🙋♂.
At the end of this video, when you moved down by the ropeway, it seemed to me, as an own vacation would end. A little bit emotional and sorrowful.
However, I appeciate your stories and videos very much.
Awe thank you Klaus. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. You always leave the nicest comments and we appreciate your kind and positive energy!
I LIKE THIS VIDEO :D
Always at the moment you say we are going spelunking I think about an old shabby pub downstairs where shady people sit around - eine Spelunke instead I know spelunking means to research a cave 😂
Hallo Merry Family!😀 nice content und Gruß aus Münsterland 😊
Hallo! 🤩
There are many games around Kegeln in a group. You can play in two groups in a competition. Each member try its best if it at the row. Try to let pins stand, and swipe away a number 2 (2x in the game), 3 (3x), 4 (4x), 5 (5x), 6 (4x), 7 (3x), 8 (2x).
Sorry, a mistake try to let pins fall down of course 😅
Kegeln is fun!
Bet the ice cave was cool, considering all the ice in there.
My family owns a bowling alley in TX - FYI you pay per lane so your family of 6 people could be $28 per hour weekdays or $35 on weekends. (Unless you come on Mondays when there's deals haha) But yes they charge for shoes
22:51
This flower is called "Enzian".
In the Alpine countries, schnapps is distilled from the roots.
No way! Okay that’s so cool to know. They were gorgeous!
Sieht mir mehr wie eine Storchschnabel-Art aus. Enziane haben Riemenblätter.
Sorry, hab die Zeiten verwechselt! Der Storchschnabel ist bei 20:51 zu sehen! (Schäm)
22:51 ist selbstverständlich Enzian!
I visited the ice caves years ago, when we were each issued with a paraffin-filled lamp with a naked flame. I well remember the instruction: "Please to not set fire to your neighbour".
😂😂 that must’ve been exciting as a child!
There’s also the Eisriesenwelt Werfen, which is a huge cave, you walk in round about one kilometer (all in all it’s 42 kilometers long).
Ah yes! There were two caves we didn’t have the time or energy to see. Is that the Mammoth one? Right under Krippenstein?
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife
No, Werfen is south of Salzburg, a one hour drive from Hallstatt.
There’s a large castle Hohenwerfen and the Eisriesenwelt which is the largest ice cave of the world.
It's true, that Salzkammergut is a very rainy region - the clouds literally stay hanging between the mountains. That's also one of the reasons, the lakes are rather cold.
love 2u us buddies. thank u for not eating a sacher torte. nice to see your own way.
Hallstätter See is mostly cold. If you drove 25 km to Wolfgangsee it would be better for swimming (next time).
Yeah I can’t imagine it ever gets very warm. Good to know that Wolfgangsee does!
Hey Sara,you need to calm down a bit;) I struggle to keep up with all your uploads...leave some vacation destination for 2023!
😂😂 well this is the second part of the video from a few weeks ago - not a different trip. 😉
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife any more trips scheduled for this year?
Next Thing... try to learn Skiing in St. Anton.
Oh, I really would like to go to Hallstatt where the Celts lived.
Yes! That’s such a cool historical fact.
you must visit Postojna cave! :)
As a child I was swimming from so 12-13 ° Celsius. Today it should be from 16-18 °! I get old
Right?! Kids can easily swim in cold water but we can’t! 😂
In Austria and i think also in Germany There are also Many Bowling alleys With the Same Rules and different Sizes of Balls. You will find Them mostly in the Big Citys ( 10000 Inhabitants Up to 1.9mio in Vienna) . I Hope i helped you :)
Ah okay, good to know! So do you mean there are ones with American bowling balls and rules?
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Yes, we have Kegeln and Bowling. In cities sometimes at the same place, in big bowling centers.
these kids already speak absolutely without any foreign accent
It’s amazing how well kids do with languages!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife even the "ü,ä,ö" which is nearly impossible for an adult english speaker
What a nice family. I'm glad I found your channel. We're living between Augsburg and Munich in a quiet village.
Oh nice, that’s a beautiful area!
you should hire at "Österreich Werbung" (tourist advertising Austria) ;)
great video. where did he get his t-shirt from? @18:47 it looks super cool
Thank you! Do you mean the Star Wars shirt?
ohw yes :) it looks really good. 😊 please continue your videos are really great. have a nice evening together
There are a number of beautiful caves in GErmany...you should visit a proper "Tropfsteinhöhle" at one point.
und Bärenhöhle
Haven't watched the vid yet (sorry), but just an FYI: Glaciers isn't a word we'd use in German (in contrast to so many others), "Gletscher" is its translation :)
Pretty busy rn so not sure if I get to watch it, but I love how you seem make so many (pretty) local trips that end up amazing!
Okay thank you! So I should change it to Gletscher?
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Would be nice, yes!
Jason is fluent in german by now it seems. We,ll done! You all do fine! Not every kid is able to learn 2 languages at the same time.
Actually all kids can do that
@@lizvlx no. unfortunately not. Some kids will then learn both languages but not that well. They made studys about that here.
@@1972Georges where is here? coz "here" history, observation and studies clearly show that language proficiency is not a matter of the amount of languages but the socio-economic curcumstances.
Oh there is Bowling in Germany. Bowling and Kegeln are two different things. ^^
Food at the supermarket is usually more expensive in Austria than in Germany ...
seems you had a lot of fun over there (as i had watching this video) sometimes. i miss your great son sometimes, is he really that shy or is he too busy growing up Michael/Hannover
Glad you enjoyed the video, Michael! Yeah so our oldest son is shy and private. He doesn’t like too be on camera. So we respect his wishes.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife ok s o then i`ve to respect that as well, see you next week!
Leise sprechen 😁 ihr werdet immer Europäischer.
Ich kenne Kegelbahnen ganz anders. Normalerweise haben die eine schmale Holzbahn und es gibt unterschiedliche Kugelgrößen und Gewichte
