Fall hikes, some of the best. This video is exactly what we like to do on our travels. Used your Mittenwald and Salzburg videos to plan and enjoy our visit to Germany in August for 3 weeks. Hey, we used most of your playlist from Bavaria! Keep up the excellent content and you do deserve to have at least 100K subscribers or more.
We are Lederhosers from Canada, only discovered Bavaria a few years ago and we are HOOKED. Your speed is exactly what we love. Thanks for all your videos! We’re coming back probably next year and we’ll definitely be hitting you up for a facetime consult. 👍
Cool castle. Strange, I didn't know about it. Since I'm also living in Munich for 5 years and hike pretty often. I can suggest you another magical place: Ahornboden. This is in Tirol Austria, but it is just 150km from Munich. Now it is a bit too late to go there. Usually people visit it in mid of October.
One of my favorite videos of yours! One question though. Why do you keep doing my childhood? I've probably been up Petersberg five times or so growing up on volksmarches. Makes me want to get right back on a plane and go home again (it's not like my daughter keeps pushing me to do so anyway). Thanks again!
Full disclosure- I did not know how to tip my favorite RUclipsrs until this morning when I watched a “how to” video! lol 😂 So this tip is for all the awesome videos that you both do an incredible job on! Thank you so much for helping us plan our trip, both through the videos and the consultation! We’ll let you know when we’re on the “most beautiful road” Love you guys and have a great week!
Really enjoyed that video. I lived in Waltrudering (East of Munich) as a kid in 1970-75. I remember early Fall hikes were my favorites and now I really enjoy the area around Schliersee followed by a nice slice of Prinzregenten Torte. Really miss Bavaria. How are you finding the cost of living in Munich after five years? Seems rents are just skyrocketing. Schöne Grüße aus Texas.
My daughter and I were in Fussen for a week the first part of Sept. saw the castles, did a couple of bike rides. It was a great trip but I feel like we missed so much. It’s so beautiful in that area and there’s so much to do! We learned some great lessons about travel and suitcases! And yes, the train system is amazing and really so easy to use. Next time though, I need to figure out the train passes because it can get expensive. That cake looks so yummy!
We're moving to Munich from the US in the next few months and this is the exact kind of content I'm looking for! Thank you for sharing this experience. Loving your channel!
Love your videos but would like to suggest you try Café Winklstüberl in Fischbachau! Simply amazing! Cake pieces are huge, prices are amazing and the best one in my opinion is the Bayerischer Creme cake! This suggestion comes from us, an American family, who has lived in Bavaria for a total of 17 years. Enjoy!!
Lovely share,the castle ruin is really worth the hike.I feel that the view is the icing on the cake(not your cake lol)really worth the effort to get up there. Really appreciate the share and I'm looking forward to future videos and to enjoy your adventures through your lenses. Greetings from Switzerland
Great vid, especially the: bunny, CATS, cute little smooching, beautiful pastures and houses, etc. I really appreciate the walking map of your hiking route, and tips about the fork, steepness, landmarks off in the distance and such. However, I do ask again for a simple, quick "map" or Birds Eye "path" of Munich to Flintsbach (ideally around the 1:30 mark) just so that i can look in the right area of Bavaria and follow along; I assumed it was due south of Munich, near Mittenwald for example, before i finally gave up and actually typed "Flintsbach" into the search field, such a bother! ;) Thanks as always!
Thanks for watching. It did take us 2 hours to make that map in Adobe After Effects, so I think we would have to start making a LOT more money to make 2 maps in one video worth it. ;) Thanks for watching!
Great Video as always. What I love about your channel is that you use public transport like Trains to get get to your destinations which is really helpful for folks like me who can’t drive. I live in Holzkirchen so this is quite near to me and I’d be definitely doing this trip. Thank you and keep exploring!
I absolutely love that you do Videos on places no other blogger would dare to go. Even as a resident of Upper Bavaria and beeing a born Regensburger your videos always have something in them, like a Café, a castle etc I haven't known of before. As you said in one of your vids, if you go wide, you can't go deep. What does it matter that you are only a relatively small channel. Let the City hoppers and 5-countries-in-two-days-travellers watch the other channels. The people who are interested in the stuff you show will enjoy watching your channel even more so.
Hi guys! Recently discovered your channel while doing research for our upcoming vacation in Germany. And my goodness! the quality of your videos is top notch - both presentation and videography wise. Love you both😊
Hi guys, superb video great to see what you get upto at the weekends! Love you can see where you are heading from that lovely little train station! Very pretty walk, fab castle ruins! Gorgeous climb and always thankful of a bench! Wow great views, well worth the hike up especially rewarded with good food and local beers! Brannenburg looks lovely! Wow that cake looks yummy 😋 have a great week ahead! Nick and Jill 👍❤️
Hey guys I am from Israel as you know we have war now And this amazing video helps me to relax and hope for better times. By the way I visited kufstein 2 years ago super cool town
The Zupfkuchen actually looked very good and fluffy, but Germany's best cake? Hm, I would be surprised if it were even better than the one from Winklstüberl in Fischbachau (especially the Bayerische Vanilletorte 😋). You shouldn't miss the gigantic collection of historic coffee grinders there either. And the advantage: you can take the public bus right to the door! 😄
You are the second person to recommend this place! I have starred it on google maps. Looks like it has 6,000 reviews, which is insane for a village! :O
@@NearFromHome no I get what you’re saying. I’m going to Vienna to teach a Physio course in March and it’s amazing how many trams and trains and pedestrians roads there are. Those don’t exist here in the USA
I really enjoy the content on this channel and how you guys are "slow travelers." However.......toning down the commercial ad voice would really be helpful. Keep up the great work and the graveyard reviews (hilarious).
Well…..I’ve got bad news…..if what you are calling the commercial ad voice is what I think it is then this video was already a serious attempt to meter and use it less than we usually do. If this didn’t do it for you, then idk man I’m giving it all I’ve got. We are constantly striving to improve video after video, but the time and effort to reward ratio is pretty damn low, lol. The perspective I come from though too is that ultimately, this isn’t a vlog, this isn’t just us chilling and going on a trip together. This is me being a guide, including logistics, and walking you through everything you need to know to go on a better vacation. It’s less entertainment-y than a lot of other channels, but to me that’s our differentiator. Frankly, 90% of the travel channels out there don’t give a damn about you the audience or your future travel plans. They want a more, easy, come with us and let’s see what happens approach. Focussing on “their” trips and “their” experiences. Which is fine, no hate, it just isn’t at all what I’m interested in doing. I don’t view this channel as “about” me so much as that I am a conduit to share the knowledge gained from our experiences. Emphasising knowledge over raw experience. Is it possible to do both at the same time? To entertain purely while also educating? I’m not sure. This video tried to do that. But ultimately I’m reticent to give up the presenter style completely because like I said, I view that as one of the things that makes us a little different than most of the faffing about on holiday travel channels. -- if you are referencing my level of enthusiasm though, that’s genuine and literally can’t be removed. I am that insufferable all the time, lol.
I love how detailed your vlogs are and appreciate all that went into it. I'm trying to be nice and say yes it's the enthusiasm that comes off as a sales pitch. For folks chilling at home it's a bit much. I really like your channel. We went to Monteriggioni bc of your video and were looking for the rest of your walking tour. @@NearFromHome
Ah damn. I thought you meant something else. Nothing I can do about the enthusiasm though, that very well might be the most genuine part of the whole video. The least scripted or rehearsed. Which in a way, it is a sales pitch after all. I don’t film duds, if a trip is worth going on then the video gets edited and released. We’ve shot plenty of videos that will never see the light of day because I just didn’t believe they were worth anyone’s previous time. If I release it, it’s because I enthusiastically believe you should go.
Great video! We know…the almighty “algorithm” wants flashy. But the heck with that sometimes-I personally prefer THESE kind of videos. Showing what the “real” Germany is like away from the touristy stuff. What a great day y’all had ! And thanks for sharing. Keep these coming! Rob
I am not sure if Petersberg is open during this time. It might be. I would call and ask. They speak English. IMHB, these very low elevation hikes in the foothills of the alps are nice in the winter if you dress warmly. I have done hikes like this in the winter, in deep snow, and have been fine. We wear waterproof hiking boots, long johns under our hiking pants, a thermal shirt and a workout shirt, a hat, and gloves. Goo luck!
Because this must be quoted: TIM: Well, that's no ordinary rabbit! ARTHUR: Ohh. TIM: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! ROBIN: You tit! I soiled my armor I was so scared! TIM: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!
Germany's cakes other than Scharzwälder-Kirsch or Frankfurter Kranz generally suck... like, even at children birthdays, they don't have like a chocolate or strawberry cake, it's so rare here, they do stuff like Marmorkuchen, Kaffeekuchen, Käsekuchen...just don't taste that great 😅
At a "Bäckerei", a baker, you'll get only a basic variation of cakes. For more you have to go to a "Konditorei". There you'll find the more creamier, butterier stuff.
@@kilsestoffel3690 I was talking mroe about the types of cakes germans usually make at home, I just think they're mostly extremely boring, often dry. But yes, there are tasty cakes from Konditoreien.
That cake looked amazing!
It's sooo good. ;)

We love Schliersee! This really is the best time to hike!
Rent here is ridiculous unfortunately.
Great video - you certainly earned the beer and cake with those hikes!
:) Hiking food always tastes better!
It's content like this I love your channel for!
Thank you so much!

Yes there is so much to do, especially if you like outdoorsy activities. :) Hope you can make it back.
I suspect you haven't discovered Cafe Winklstüberl yet in Fischbachau near Schliersee
We have not, but I think a few other people have recommended it in the comments here!

Amazing video! What was the soup that you had?
Hahah I knew someone would ask. I can't remember, and I can't find the menu online.
Flädle soup, called Fretatten soup in Austria. It's broth with pancake strips. Particularly popular in Baden-Württemberg.
more content like this will be great! Will be in Munich for a few days next summer (along with Freising and Fussen).
We will try. Thanks for watching!
