Former Texan and New Braunfels guy here. When you eat the chili, you use the cornbread to cool your pallet after a bite of chili....but you have to save a little cornbread to wipe the bowl clean of the last bits of chili
My son taught me to fish on the Guadalupe at 65 I caught my first fish. It started a bucket list thing now a hobby. We stay in New Braunsfels and go down the Guadalupe every day I’m there. I’ve caught and released many trout the past two plus years! Will keep going till God takes me home ❤️
Chet, great segment on the snake farm but man it's hard to capture the amazingness of the gator pit on video. You really have to see it in person to get the AWE effect. It's crazy how many gators they have. It's amazing
After a long day of fishing on the Texas coastal bays and after many adult beverages, relaxing at camp, my nephew starts singing, "There's only one S in New Braunfels...". That was the first time several of us had ever heard that song. When we stopped laughing, we urged him to continue singing as much of it that he could recall.
Excellent segment! My great great great Uncle Wilhelm Thielepape, who later became Mayor of San Antonio, traveled extensively with Prince Carl to New Braunfels and other German settlements.
Fun fact, my Grandmother Hoegenhaur had riverfront property a mile or so down river from the “Tube chute”. We visited often up through the late 80s, when the property was sold. Though we lived in Port Lavaca, we always looked forward to visit her in the summer…. As well as visiting Schwab’s, and of course New Braunfels Smokehouse for Wurst, jerky, and Apple Butter. I really miss those days.
its crazy to me whenever I see videos on my hometown , been living in NB my whole life , the growth is crazy and I sound like my parents whenever I say I wish it was small like it used to be. I loved whenever NB was small and no traffic, everybody knew each other .It was amazing , no new buildings and roads just back roads to enjoy with tons of nature . Now whenever I go and visit my parents I hate driving through there, too many people, traffic like crazy and no more nature, it's sad . I only hate it because it used to be such a small beautiful town now it' filled with apartments, housing and it's too crowded . but I will always love where I came from .
my wife and I LOVE the snake zoo, a few years ago we met a skunk named "pepe" now everytime we smell LOUD on the streets of Austin we have a little saying "smells like pepe".
When was this filmed?😂 Friesenhaus burned down a few years ago and I have not seen the comal that high in years. Made me laugh you went to Naeglin’s first. Ross used to drive me to golf practice in middle school
rumor had it that the Snake Farm was a front to a whore house operation back in the late 70s and early 80s. There is nothing sadder than that gorilla in the cage. Simply broke my heart seeing that.
Both my mother's and father's side of the family have been here since the beginning of Texas. My mom has a hand carved pipe that, as the story goes, was given to my GGG Grandpa by Prince Carl for saving him when he fell overboard on the trip. It still sits on top of her piano. The settlers on my mom's side built a pretty historic building in New Braunfels. I cant say the name because of - Mothers Maiden Name ID theft stuff. My GGG Grandpa on my dad's side was one of the original settlers in Brenham. Part of whats called The Old 300.
Loved this video! Quick question: what time did you go tubing? I noticed not many people there and the water looked pretty clear so I’m assuming you went early in the morning. What time exactly?
Having lived in New Braunfels the past 45 years.... You should have been here when it was Old New Braunfels. Before the City Management outlawed having fun on the river or elsewhere. Its all about money these days but a few decades ago it was all about having fun instead of policing.
4:50 kho-mall? It's kuh-MAL (Kuh as in "cut" and mal as in "malcontent"). And while I'm glad to see Naeglin's still kicking, it's nowhere near as good as it was before they took over. Great piece otherwise!
I was enjoying the video until he said… “you think back to the day where there was nothing in Texas n.. why wouldn’t build a town in one of the most prestige rivers..” well, there were the “Spanish”, that’s a mislabel because they were Indian given “Spanish” label and FREEDOM by converting to Christianity. New Braunfels was founded in 1845 But San Antonio was founded in 1718, Goliad 1749, Laredo 1755 (both Laredo and Nuevo), El Paso 1680. All those towns were founded by Spanish (who turned Mex after the ind) who brought natives/Indians and converted local natives.. so TEXAS was not never a Land of “NOTHING” 😂😂
Your history is wrong. At least try to pronounce the Spanish history correctly. You definitely try for the Germans. Texas was and still is Mexico. You even wrong about alamo. white boy
Texas was one of four Mexican regions that fought for independence when Santa Anna declared the 1810 constitution null. Only two of the four won their independence from the Santa Ana tyranny: Yucatán and Texas. Many years later, when Santa Ana was overthrown and the constitution was reinstated, the Yucatán Congress voted return to the Mexican Republic, Texas did not. So your entire statement is really false. It’s like saying that Mexico is still Spain. By the way I am Mexican.

I had a petit four from Naegelin's just yesterday. THE BEST! Yes, the apple strudel is divine.

“You use the bucket as a shield” is probably the most Texan thing you can say lmao

Good times for sure. Thanks for sharing your story.

So many summers riding the gaud and comal, and everyone has a story about almost dying in the chute lol
Hahaha. Same.
This place looks awesome!
Wow, thanks for this, I live in san Marcos and went to NB a few times for appointments. Now I should go to take in the culture.
my wife and I LOVE the snake zoo, a few years ago we met a skunk named "pepe" now everytime we smell LOUD on the streets of Austin we have a little saying "smells like pepe".

I noticed that too, that Friesenhaus was in one of the shots. I miss that place. Oh, and this was from 2016.
😂😂😂😂 I love your travel blog intro!!
ONE OF THE TOWNS I'VE ENJOYED VISITING WHILE LIVING IN TEXAS FOR 15YRS BEFORE MOVING BACK HOME.
I get a full Naegelin's cherry strudel to bring home every time I go.
I never knew there was more to see at the Snake Farm Zoo.
we used to go to snake farm, but now it has got to expensive for me
rumor had it that the Snake Farm was a front to a whore house operation back in the late 70s and early 80s. There is nothing sadder than that gorilla in the cage. Simply broke my heart seeing that.
😂😂😂😂😂and I made it!…..THUD!!! 😊
Just cause you are the oldest at something doesn’t mean you are the best. When you visit NB, check out 2 Tarts bakery.
just earlier in august i went with me my grandma my grandpa my mom and my brother to schlitterbahn
Spent $700 on a day trip to the one in Galveston last summer for my youngest’s birthday.
I hope N.B. Location hasn’t degraded to the same level.
Awesome. Been going there for decades.
@@TheDaytrippercool
This was a great video of NB, but he forgot to do a drive by New Braunfels Optical Shoppe!
Thanks for taking that S out of the incorrect name😅
Now if we could get them to stop calling Kloblasnik a Kolache…. But that’s a Czech thing.
Haha. True.
Haha. It think we've lost that battle.
Have you went to pecos ?

Is anybody here from New Braunfels, if so can you reply here?
Why does Naeglin’s bakery put coconut in their streusel? Ruins the taste.
It falls back to the spice trade.
Nutmeg was once more expensive than gold. Now it’s common.
Think German chocolate cake.
Mmmmm German chocolate cake yummy
The old school way, I suppose.
Crazy.
Yes....mmmmm
Your history is wrong. At least try to pronounce the Spanish history correctly. You definitely try for the Germans. Texas was and still is Mexico. You even wrong about alamo. white boy
Last I checked Texas was apart of the USA….
wrong. texas was comancheria ruled by the comanches.
Texas was one of four Mexican regions that fought for independence when Santa Anna declared the 1810 constitution null.
Only two of the four won their independence from the Santa Ana tyranny: Yucatán and Texas.
Many years later, when Santa Ana was overthrown and the constitution was reinstated, the Yucatán Congress voted return to the Mexican Republic, Texas did not.

By the way I am Mexican.
