Thank you to everyone for coming along with us for a typical week in our life living here in Germany, and for indulging Heather's love of fashion and sharing Halara with you! All of the links to the outfits are in the description box along with discount code. Also, we can not WAIT to share our vlogs from Rothenburg, Germany, and Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland with everyone! Both places were incredible in their own ways! We are currently working on camping around for a bit while the weather is still nice enough, so if you have any suggestions on wonderful camping locations, send them our way!

[@martinkasper197]

Is it Rothenburg ob der Tauber? I ♥️ your videos...

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

@@martinkasper197 yes it is! We loved it! And thank you so much! That always makes our day to know people enjoy the content 🤗

[@michaelgrabner8977]

that shiny "grab thing" is for grabing desserts like pieces of cake, biscuits, what ever when those are fancy presented on a big plate while having guests for "Kaffee + Kuchen"...so you or the guest don´t have to grab the desserts with the bare hands in order to put the dessert from the big plate on your or the guest´s plate...but you can also use it as mentioned for ice cubes or cheese if you want, I´m not judging By the way an "US apple cider" is in Europe called "naturally cloudy apple juice"/in German "Naturtrüber Apfelsaft"...and is to find in every grocery´s during the whole year. In Europe everything labeled "Cider" - no matter what fruit - has alcohol content (not that much but a bit) and is basically what´s called in the US - and exclusively in the US - "Hard Cider"...So basically in Europe every "Cider" is "hard" and if not then it´s called "juice" = in German "Saft" and is not called "Cider"

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

hahaha we appreciate not judging on the cheese 🤣. That actually makes way more sense though and is such a pretty piece for serving guests and not having to grab. And thank you for the note on the cider! We had seen the two types of apple juice at the store and been confused about it so that makes so much sense! Really good difference to know about!

[@michaelgrabner8977]

@@CompassChronicleTravels Well for a big cheese plate I think it makes sense to use that "Gebäckzange"(= Pastry tong) as well.

[@liqiz1755]

Nice video!

[@martinkasper197]

The bread is BIO, so no chemicals and other bad stuff involved..No gen manipulated wheat or other grain (like sometimes in the US). BIO costs more, but it is good for our environment/nature...

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

LOVE that! We have been so impressed at how conscious Germany is about both the environment and the food. We can't stand the amount of manipulated food and chemicals in the food back stateside so we are a huge huge fan of the practices here.

[@guinessdraught2758]

The technology museums in Speyer and Sinsheim are really great, there is a lot to see there. The IMAX cinemas are also great.

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

Oh that sounds fantastic! These are some museums we were unaware of that I’m sure we would really enjoy seeing and that aren’t too far away so we will have to check that out!

[@kayatwood5183]

Shopping looked fun. Sorry about your finger. You are so right about the views. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

It was a lot of fun! Always cool things to find there! And thank you...hopefully it will heal well. And those views! Can't wait to go back for more of those!

[@aka99]

Great video agan! Rothenburg is really nice! Maybe a bit tourist crowdy. Some people say Dinkelsbühl is similar to Rothenburg but much less crowday. Yes, weather was too much rainiy. I am sorry for you. Last year it was the oppsoite. Too much sun, and less rain. But it has the advantage of much less wasps around. Anyway. At first i thought you were in the USA, but then you said Movie Park, haha. But i guess it is made to look like Hollywood. The market was in Wiesbaden!! I recognize the church in the backgrounbd. The small yellow fruitballs at 7:50 are called Mirabellen. If you like sweet fruits, eat some! But just the yellow ones, not the green ones. The bigger balls on the left called Reneclaude. I prefer the smaller ones, Mirabellen. Go for 100 Gramm and eat within the next days. Do not wait too long. The black beries are called Brombeeren in Germany at 8:25 and the strawberries, i am sure you know them before. You can serve the cheese with that, but we use it to pick up pieces of Marmorkuchen oder Guggelhupf. For cake we use it. If you have not visit the Kurhaus yet, do it next time. Maybe walking a bit along the rhine river is may nice too in front of the the Biebricher Schloß and check out the Neroberg in Wiesbaden. The Rocky Mountains are much higher than the alps, but not as charming, i guess, with these alps villages. The alps are the second big mountains in Europe. The biggest mountains are the Caucasus. Yes, the caucausus are considered european. Did you see the Matterhorn? Check out the Taunus mountains. It is better to say Taunus hills than Mountains in the Rhine-Main-Area. The biggest mountain or hill is the Feldberg, with about 880 Meters in height. There is also a Feldbeg in the black forest. So do not mix both hills up. You can drive by car to the top of the Feldberg, but you can also hike up. I suggest the town of Königstein im Taunus, not Königstein in Saxony, to start you hiking, climbing up. Took maybe 2 hours or maybe more? If you are interested, i can look up for details. In roman times, 1800 years ago, the limes run through the Taunus. Not much remains. One need some phantasy to spot the Limes. Here and there are original fundaments to bee seen, ruins actually, of former roman Watchtowers. Only the fundaments left. If you think about climbing or hiking up the Feldberg im Taunus, do NOT do that on sunny weekends. Too much crowed. Better is between Tuesday and Friday. Have you seen the Bavaria filmstudios yet? I think they are small, but the movie Das Boot and The Neverending Story were made there.

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

Thank you so much! Yes, we thought that about Rothenburg...absolutely loved it but lots of tourists. And we agree about weekends! Whenever we can we try to do our exploring on a weekday so things are calmer haha. Haven't heard of Dinkelsbühl yet though so we will definitely look into it! And haha movie park definitely reminded us of back home a bit. The park itself actually felt a lot more like traditional theme parks back home as well...hoping we can get back in the next several weeks for a full vlog and day there! We will also try some of the fruit at the market next time and see about some of those hikes! We are wanting to do more hiking so anything like that would be amazing! Also haven't been to the Bavaria film studios but that sounds awesome and like something we'd love to see. Grew up watching the Neverending story so that's really fun!!

From 25.08. until 03.12.2023 Ludwigsburg will be the pumpkin capital again! Biggest Pumpkin Festival in the 🎃 World!

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

😱😱😱😱 ok we DEFINITELY have to go to that!!

[@martinkasper197]

It's in the 🏰 Residenzschloss Blühendes Barock in the middle of LB,,. This is a very beautiful castle....it also has a fairy tales garden. There is also nearby 🏰 Monrepos at a small lake (with a hotel inside) and 🏰 Lustschloss Favorite...

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

@@martinkasper197 Perfect! Thank you so much! This sounds amazing and like something we are definitely going to try and fit into our schedule!

[@MagnificentGermanywithDarion]

Howdy Folks, New subscriber here. What part of Germany are you living in? I just ran across your channel and I am glad that I did. It was fun watching your video and the bread looks amazing, I love Germany and I visit every chance that I can get. I was stationed in Schweinfurt when I served in the US Army. I was also in Giessen, Germany as a kid when my Dad was in the Army :). I just got back about a month ago and I am always planning my next trip lol. In fact, I am hosting a YT Meetup in Munich on 15 June 2024. I have a YT channel myself (vlog style) and it's all about Magnificent Germany :).A stay-at-home bake day is a good day for sure, yum yum yummy, cream puff city. I will send you my address so that you could send me some cream puffs, just kidding, lol!! I am certainly looking forward to catching up on more of your videos, excited.

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

Hey there! Glad to have you here! 🙏🏼. That’s wonderful about the meet up and that you take the time to spend over here as awesome as possible! haha baked goods are the best!! While we don’t share our location publicly, feel free to reach out to us via IG @thesassycinderella. Look forward to checking out your stuff!

[@martinkasper197]

Apple cider and french cidre are almost the same. Same with Apfelsekt. They are all carbonated. Apfelmost or Ebbelwoi (you drank in Frankfurt) are not. Your bakery looks amazing, especially the Donuts. First rule for homemade baking and cooking. it has not to look good, it just has to taste good... 👍🤘

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

oh interesting! That's different than in the states so that's good to know! And thank you so much! I have always enjoyed baking and spent a part of my life teaching cake decorating techniques. Nice to get back into it a little bit! And that is the truth! It's all about the taste 😋

[@martinkasper197]

I myself didn't know that the alcoholic stuff is called hard cider in the US. So you have to look for Naturtrüber Apfelsaft as the other guy explained...

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

@@martinkasper197 yes it's so funny because we had seen that at the store and not realized that's what it was! Definitely will remember that for when holiday baking starts!

[@aka99]

by the way, what happend with you finger? I do not understand this at all. Some persons like to cross the alps by feet in several days. A week or so. A historical fact, in ancient times and medieval times, it was lifethreatend to cross the alps during wintermonths. Only inhabitants knew the safe ways and without the Alps, Europe would have the same or almost the same numbers and as powerfull devasting Tornados like in the USA. I was suprised to find out right now, the Rocky Mountains are almost the same height as the european Alps. I assumed the mountains were much bigger in the USA, but the heighest mountain of the Rockys is actually even a bit lower than the Mont Blanc. In my opinion, the Matterhorn is one of the most asthetic looing mountains in the world. The shape of the North and East side reminds me of the Sphinx in Egypt. Some germans who want to hiking in the Alps use certain parts of the Rheinsteig to train. Seems the conditions are similar, but like in the alps, never fall down! It could be very bad for your health if you going clumsy. Look for Taunus and Rhön. Beautyfull countryside. Check out for example the blog sonntagswandern(dot)de. In roman times, the roman frontier, calles Limes crossed the Taunus. Today the fundament of the highest tiny castell of all the Limes can be found in the Taunus Mountains in the height of more than 700 meters. Just look for Taunus and Rhön. The Vogelsberg was 16,5 million years ago an vulcanic active region, but luckiyl no anymore, but withe vulcanic Eifel, the border region of Belqium and Luxemburg, Germany got still active vulcanos. Luckily they sleep right now, but one day, in the very far future, maybe hundred thousands of years, the vulcanos will break out again. The vulcanos of the Eifel doesnt look like typical vulcanos. All vulcanos are covered with water. Called Maare. The Laacher See is the biggest Maar, Eastern Eifel. I have been told, nice countryside aswell. In some parts of the lakes you can swim, but not in all. Too dangerous. Always toxic bubbles rises up. So, yeah i suggest Taunus, Rhön and Eifel to go around.The highest mountain in the Taunus is the Feldberg and of the Rhön, it is the Wasserkuppe. If you go to the Feldberg im Taunus, take a binacular with you. You may can see the skyline of Frankfurt am Main. Oh, the Harz Mountains in central Germany is nice too. The highest mountain of the Harz is the Brocken with a height of about 1100 Meters. And two funfacts, look up in Wikipedia for Brocken Spectre and Walpurgisnacht Brocken.

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

Thank you for the wonderful info again! This is a great list for us to have of some of the mountains here because we really want to do more hiking and get better at it! Those places sound amazing and great history too! 🤩 And thank you for the concern about my finger. 🙏🏼 I was rushing because of needing to get a lot done that day and slipped and cut my finger on a mandolin vegetable slicer and had to get stitches. All is good now but it wasn’t a very fun moment lol

[@Kivas_Fajo]

The background should be the focus...iyam.

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

Oh don’t worry, there will be plenty 🤗. We did a lot more of that in the dedicated vlog to the switzerland trip that’s coming soon. 💕

[@Kivas_Fajo]

@@CompassChronicleTravels I was saying this, because it is not about the selfies-in the video. It is about being there, seeing new things, experiencing new whatevers... I know that Americans like to do selfies in front of whatnot, but that is really not cool here. ^^ Sure, we also do that! No doubt. The difference is only small, but for us very visible. The certain pic is about showing the pic, not any person dancing in front of it. This is not Disneyland, albeit it looks that way. ^^

[@CompassChronicleTravels]

@@Kivas_Fajo Oh no worries! We understand what you’re saying. The purpose of it in this instance is purely for showing the outfits that were so kindly gifted to us 🤗 We very much value the places and those experiences greatly.
