Such footage reminds me that we live there and mostly don't even really notice stuff, because it is just normal to us, but other people travel very long distances just to have an amazing trip to somewhere they have never been before. I live in an other region, the so called "Ermstal" in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, but there are also tourists from the whole world and every day they make me feel humble and thankful again, reminding me what a luxury it is to live where I live. Yes, the brown dough of the "Schwarzwälder Kirschkuchen" is soaked in "Kirschwasser" (Cherry Liquor with about 40% or 80 Proof). The hat with the balls is called "Bollenhut" and it's kind of an indicator. Red balls mean the lady is unmarried, black balls mean married, traditionally both hats are combined with wearng a black veil. Until the Chirstian confirmation, girls do not wear a Bollenhut, but they wear the black veil. Steep roofs were not because of strong winds, it was quite the opposite. A steep roof made snow slide off easier, which meant building cheaper with less material compared to building a stronger roof. But it also enlargened the attack surface for wind, which meant faster chilling, which meant more heating, which meant more wood for more heating, which meant more stockroom for more wood for more heating, which meant more work... you get the idea. The later solution was a steep top with a less steep bottom which seems to have combined the amazing world of rooftops the time back then. Wanna know how they moved these houses? They literally took them apart piece by piece and brick by brick, gave every single item a unique number and then rebuilt it all the way backwards. You're right, they made it a LEGO kit. 17:45 you found the "Maibaum" (maypole)

[@TTMHEST]

Sorry aber jeder "Arsch " der als amerikaneischer Tourist nach Deutschland kommt, landet in Baden-Württemberg oder Bayer und im Schwarzwald. Tatsächlich jeder. Die Frage " warum wohl " kann wohl nur ein von sich überzeugter Schwabe oder Bayer beantworten. Echt schlimm das daraus resultierende Bild von unserem Land.

[@DerJarl1024]

Hello, I'm sorry to have to correct you. The houses don't have steep roofs because of the wind, but because of the snow. This makes it easier for the snow to slide off in winter and doesn't pile up. This means that the roof doesn't have as much weight, which could otherwise cause the roof to collapse in severe winters. Unfortunately, steep and therefore higher roofs are no help against the wind. That's why the older houses in northern Germany, for example, are built differently. They are often much lower and have flatter pitched roofs, because they are often exposed to the storms that sweep across the North Sea and the very flat land there.

[@ulrikezachmann7596]

I always love watching travel videos from the Black Forest as I was born there but now live in Australia. I get very nostalgic when I am watching these as I have fond memories from my childhood. A lot of the villages names end with (Bach) which means stream or Brook. People used to make little mock villages in the Forest with Nomes, model animals like dear and water wheels just like a small magical model village amongst the trees, undergrowth and mushrooms giving a real sense of wonder and magic to people walking past on the walking trails. I don’t know if they still do it. As a child it was just magic to have that on one’s doorstep. We kept Rabbits and chopped wood for the stove and our twice weekly bath from a water heater you had to heat with wood. And yes nothing compares with German Cakes.

[@sunnydayss7077]

I grew up in the black forest area and it still is to this day the place on earth I want to live in because its the only place that hits home to me. I dont feel comfortable to live anywhere else... its magical and have so many good childhood memories here. Really nice that it gets the recognition it deserves!! Proud german woman here, haha!

[@40hup]

@13:55 The romans did not fear so much fairies in the dense and dark black forrest, but more ambushes from local clans hidden in the forrest, where their usual open-field proof tactics did not work, and they were in disadvantage. Back then there was more wooden area and few roads, so getting to somewhere was not easy for an army.

[@ben_der_riss]

Also a german teacher told me that the black forest was mostly covered with leaf trees at that time. They block more sunlight and the forest was even darker back then. They only planted those conifers later because they grow faster.

Hello Chad and Claire, you definitely have to come to northern Germany too. There are the North Sea and Baltic Sea here. Many beautiful islands and coasts. There are beautiful mountains such as the Weserbergland, Teuteburgerwald, Wiehengebirge and the Brocken. Many old towns with delicious North German cuisine and special drinks such as Frisian tea. If you are in Germany again then come to Northern Germany.

Great Video! Gutach is my hometown. I still live here. Nice to see the Vogtsbauernhöfe in your video. ❤ Hornberg and Villingen got these little waterstreams as well. Villingen is known as "little Freiburg". Hornberg/Schwarzwald (near Gutach and the Vogtsbauernhöfe) got a nice castle ruin with a restaurant to chill and enjoy the view over the black forest and the historical town. It is known for the "Hornberger Schießen". Which is very funny to watch. 🙂 Triberg is near by as well. In Triberg you can see big waterfalls and the biggest Cuckoo clocks of the world. 😃

These “rivers” in Freiburg are called Bächle. They were originally constructed in the Middle Ages for practical purposes, including water supply and fire protection. Today, they serve mainly as a picturesque feature of the city's landscape. Local lore suggests that if a visitor accidentally steps into a Bächle, they will be destined to live in Freiburg. The Bächle also contribute to the city's ecological environment, providing habitats for various plants and animals. Their presence enhances the aesthetic appeal of Freiburg, making it a lovely place for residents and tourists alike to stroll and explore. And the pizza was no pizza, but Flammkuchen. It’s a whole different thing. 😊 A very sympathetic video about the black forest ☺️

Those little rivers you saw in Freiburg are called Baechle and they keep the city cool in summer. Very useful. By the way, if you eat real Black Forest Cherry cake be careful, the cream contains some alcohol (cherry liquor at 40% alcohol)

[@ChadandClaire]

Oh my! Good to know.

[@s.l.7422]

@@ChadandClaire hi, as someone who was born and raised in Freiburg and has a tourist guide as a mother i have to tell you that the purpose of the Bächle is not to keep the city cool, even though that is as very nice side effect. When they were first built in 1220 they were used to fight fires and mainly to get rid of used water. After the city built a sewage system the Bächele lost their original purpose. Today the Bächle have mostly a historical meaning and are used to guide rain water from the streets into the sewage system In summer they are definitely used to cool off, you’ll often see people sitting at the Bächle with their feet in the water. But be careful, if you’re planning on cooling off: if you were not born in Freiburg and step into a Bächle you have to marry a Freiburger Bobbele, a person who was born in Freiburg - at least thats what the legend says :)

Actually, these hats with the red things on top, the Bollenhut, it's still being worn on special occasions, it's not a black forest thing, it's a Gutach thin (which is one town inside the black forest, no other town does that, except for 1 or 2 smaller neighbouring towns, that have also adopted this tradition) and my grandma has those hats, including the traditional dress. She is from Gutach (I grew up 2 towns over, maybe a 15 to 20 min drive away) and when she was younger, women would dress up every sunday (and only on sunday) with that clothing. And the way it worked was, young women, who were still "available" wear the ones in red, married women would wear the hat in a version with black balls, instead of red ones. So, wearing the hat in red means, you are looking for a man. Also, the houses in that park aren't from 600 years ago, people lived like that in some places in the 50s and 60s, some lived like that for even longer, especially old people who didn't want to change. I have a grandpa, who sadly died long before my birth. He died in the 70s, never had electricity, for a fridge he had a hole in his basement, that was cool year round. This is not ancient history, my dad's parental house was close to that until he got us kids in the 90s (although he had electricity, but no indoor toilet). Then he just had to make some upgrades Modernity took a bit longer to make its way into the black forest, a lot of people lived in quite poor conditions until very recently. It is only very recent, that the black forest has become a wealthy region. Also, the houses aren't from all over Germany, just from different parts of the black forest. There is plenty of variety in architectural traditions just within that region alone. But it's not representative for traditional german architecture in general.

Awesome video of a great region! Fun fact: Black Forest Cake was actually invented in the city of Bonn in 1915, which is not even in or near the Black Forest 😆👌🏻

7:26 These hats are part of a traditional costume which is still worn today in particular villages. The red balls are worn by unmarried women. Married women wear hats with black balls. They became the symbol for the Black Forest.

I'm so glad I found your beautiful videos. Thank you so much for posting! When you were hiking through the forest and Chad was so amazed to hear a bird that sounded exactly like a cuckoo clock, I had to laugh out loud. Where do you think the cuckoo clock got its name from? From the cuckoo, of course, the bird that shows singers what a minor third sounds like. Greetings and love from Mönchengladbach/Germany, Sabine

WOW! amazing video I love it thank you

If you are looking for squirrels, go to a city park with old Oak trees. There you will most likely many of them. And those squirrels are accustomed to humans and often beg for nuts. In the forest you have to be very lucky to see them
