I don't usually care about the foodie sections of the video, but you are going to be in BLack Forrest.... and they have famous chocolate cake there...

[@quo33]

You are for sure the nicest, sweetest Americans I've ever seen! We'd love if you moved to Germany or Austria, that would be so cool! Also, I love how much you guys read now. :)

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Gahhh we loved the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. It is amazing to see it all lush and green! 😍 Totally agree on the craftsmanship in Germany-that was one of our big observations too!

[@ChadandClaire]

Yeah!! It looks so different than when you guys went!! Isn’t Zugspitze where you face planted @kathryn 😂

[@debbiegallardo9853]

Loved it. As usual, beautifully done. It’s magical. Now, Germany will be included in my bucket list. Thanks guys😘

[@ChadandClaire]

Awesome! You won’t regret it!!

[@afinecupofcoffee8476]

My wife and I did our honeymoon doing a Bavarian road trip. We DID go to the peak of Zugspitze but we went in early May. There was still a ton of snow and there was zero visibility from the top. It felt like we were in a cloud. Still had a few beers and a pizza at the summit.

[@ChadandClaire]

What an awesome honeymoon and great memory! I’d love to visit the next time we come!

[@HosaT-vz9il]

As usual it's a beautifully shot and spirited video but with a lot of personal touches especially when Claire had a hard time getting through the entrance which made me laugh so hard because I do that too sometimes

[@ChadandClaire]

Haha those doors can be tricky 😂 thanks for watching!! 😁

[@nl9807]

I love you as a coupel and as human beeing❤️and lovley positive conten ❤️🤠🌟

[@crossfire2204]

Ein sehr schönes Video. Kommt bald mal wieder. 🙂

[@Ollinossi]

i see you had great days here. greets from germany

[@willroderick4629]

Absolutely incredible content

[@haleyhall3246]

Looks like you guys had a great time! The alps are so beautiful!

[@WilliamHANSEN-r6e]

Nice video. Brings back good memories. Did you go inside the castle?

[@corenasalyers7288]

So breath taking views. Looks fun miniature golfing The castle is amazing Ekster wallets are awesome. I got one for my husband and my son already had bought one. A lot of the guys that my husband works with got one after my husband got his. Glad you two enjoy them

[@ChadandClaire]

That’s so great to hear! Glad your husband enjoyed it and it’s nice to know other’s love them as much as we do!

[@therealmvp232]

Germany is our next Europe destination. During your USA road trip, what size cooler was you guys using??

[@barryharfenes7821]

Thanks! You have a southing style to watch even if F it no a place we plane Enjoy the style if you travel videos

[@ChadandClaire]

Wow it means so much to us that you like what we do enough to support us with your own money. Thank you very much and we both hope you have a wonderful week ahead!

[@terraluna888]

Love you guys. Always bring the cutest loveliest vibes. 🫶🏽✨🌻🌈🪬🍄

[@RickyBobby2473]

It’s such a magical fairytale region. When we go on your (future planned group trip ☺️) to the Dolomites, I may be purchasing a one way ticket ☺️☺️☺️

[@RickyBobby2473]

I was also hoping to someday do an Antartica cruise expedition aboard the Intrepid! Maybe a stroll through Patagonia, then head down to board the ship, ride the rough waves of the drake passage then set foot on the most exotic continent on the planet 🌏

[@ChadandClaire]

Yes!!!! I’m down for that plan as well! We just gotta sell 3 more spots on our Taiwan trip before we can start planning the next one! 😁😁😁 how long of a trip would you want for the Dolomites?

[@RickyBobby2473]

@@ChadandClaire I’m glad you’re close to filling the Taiwan trip! I guess I’m not sure how long of a trip the Dolomites needs to be, but I’d love it to be in the fall of 2025. I think that would be such a beautiful time of year to visit, as well as cooler temperatures.

[@tiinah-b2326]

I often add places you visit to a bucket list, and the last two videos are definitely on that list now. My husband doesn’t like crowds and we both love mountain scenery, so if I am to convince him to travel to Europe one day, I have to plan it well. 18 months to retirement 🥰

[@ChadandClaire]

That’s so soon! Best of luck on your trip planning! Lots of great places to explore in Germany!

[@Love_rainy_days]

Thanks guys 👩👨for sharing amazing Bavarian Alps. 🏕Hope you two had a nice and safe Fourth of July.🧨🧨🧨🧨 Love the channel.💘 Cheers 🍺🍺

[@ChadandClaire]

Thank you! 😃 happy 4th!

[@jasonpacific5661]

Love it - ClaireCastle. Reminding us to discover simple Joys along the way 🌻💃🎶

[@ChadandClaire]

Now I wanna see what castle Claire would design!

[@cyrenapaulin4472]

Hi Chad & Claire!! Love your channel! On your most recent episode, you both talk about the German craftsmanship, but it would have been great to see some film footage of some of the furniture and architecture you both were referring to in your description. That said though, I really appreciate you guys and the wonderful work you do on your travels channel! Safe travels, Cyrena 👍🙏🤗❤🌎

[@ChadandClaire]

Great suggestion! Sorry we didn’t show more of it! It’s definetly a subtle thing that you notice as you travel throughout the area. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@hotelhighlights]

Amazing video! Incredible content!

[@aRVeesBlog]

nice content

[@anastasiafua]

Aww the Claire and the castle story - you two are just so adorable. fab episode guys! 🎉

[@carolmartin4413]

Beautiful countryside...gg/grandfather lived and left this fascinating area like 150 years ago...think free land in 🇺🇸 and fiefdom social stratagems in Bavaria/Germany were the incentives. Funny how societies change and rearrange. Sweet vid/great photography!

[@ChadandClaire]

Very interesting! It’s always so fascinating to imagine what life was like back then and why so many people felt inspired to move to America. There should be a show about it.

[@thaniadelgado1943]

Oh my God 😯 Beautiful the 🏰

[@Megan-id6jm]

Thank you for your video! Good book, Claire.

[@ChadandClaire]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@georgemckinnon7134]

Been following you both since day - 1. Love the positive energy and vibe. Your videos just keeping getting better and better (no pressure here), just a fact. The excitement and happiness in each video is contagious. We all need positivity, so keep up the great work!

[@ChadandClaire]

We can’t promise that they’ll get better, but we will try to keep showing up and having a fun time! 😁🕺

[@typhanthongphay]

AWESOME VIDEO LEGENDS ❤❤❤❤

[@ChadandClaire]

U da Legend!

[@BlissLovePeace]

Really great camera work!

[@blacksheep806]

9:13 I'm sorry but I just can't stop laughing 😂 why would you do that 😂 You two are adorable ❤

[@ChadandClaire]

🤷‍♂️😂

[@arnodobler1096]

There is a video here on YT in which 2 Americans, both carpenters, visit a Swiss training workshop for carpenters and joiners. One of them then said that he was going to remove the title of master carpenter from his business card at home, as these 16-17 year olds already know more than he does. In Switzerland, Austria and Germany, there is a 3-year dual apprenticeship in the company and at school.

[@ChadandClaire]

Wow!!! That’s so SO cool to hear. It makes total sense. Their skills are just next level over there!

[@berndgaal7689]

Germans are the poets and thinker, musicians and writers, inventors and technicians of this planet with long history, great craftmenship and of course......black history as well!!!!

[@klaus2t703]

What´s outstanding with your vidoes is, that you dot just do touristy things but suck in the lifestyle. Im Bavarian, and I like hiking, take a rest where you like, eat some good food .. and all this rather relaxed. Good job.

[@berlindude75]

Neuschwanstein (lit. "new swan stone") = NOY-SHVAAN-SHTINE (approx. pronunciation in English)

[@gordong.9521]

I like that you 2 have fun in Germany! I also love the Alps, and I regret a little that we only see such a small part of them as opposed to France/Switzerland/Italy, but it's a beautiful part of the world nevertheless =)))

[@sommermaxwell]

Another charming video! Have you guys ever thought about adding a reading list for each place? I’d love to know if there were any books that you used to research before the trip (historical fiction, memoirs, nonfiction, etc.) or ones that you enjoyed while there. I’m always looking for travel-inspired recommendations. Thank you for your past video on San Sebastián. We went this summer and loved it!

[@sommermaxwell]

We have a family tradition to find at least one putt putt course on every trip! It’s always fun to see the variety!

[@ChadandClaire]

This is a great idea! We need to start a proper documentation of the books we both are reading. I’ve heard some people use Goodreads, but I wonder if there are another sites we could use as well.

[@ChadandClaire]

Glad you had fun in San Sevastián! We can’t wait to visit again.

Qur'an - 29 : 41 The example of those who take allies other than Allah اَللّٰهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ is like that of the spider , who takes a home. And indeed , the weakest of homes is the home of the spider , if they only knew.

Foolish title! Nothing is a secret about the Bavarian Alpine region. You are just visiting the cliche´ places!
