GERMAN FOOD BLACK FOREST TOUR! (Delicious Ham, Local Cake & German Towns)

[@DeanaandPhil]

We are continuing down south through the Black Forest region of Germany! What would you do if you visited this area? If you liked this video, you may enjoy: Heidelberg Germany Vlog (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aHTQYqqBaLmAf7M ) or First Food Back in Germany! (kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4S9h4aYZZiZiq8 )

[@kristofferholst6053]

Thank you for the answer. You behave visited the area long time ago though think it was in 99. Anyway I was asking about when you were there as in the month or date? I was I Alsace in late may this year and it looked warmer

[@arnodobler1096]

You should go to Lake Constance 1.5 2 hours by car.

[@martinkasper197]

You should do the Pfahlbaumuseum in Unteruhldingen at Bodensee... Or maybe a short visit to the Rheinfall at Schaffhausen in Switzerland. Stein am Rhein is also nice...Try swiss food (it's not only Fondue, Rösti, Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, St. Gallener Kalbsbratwurst and cheese)

The ONLY complaint that i have about your productions is that i wish that they were twice as long. Especially when you are showing the beautiful people and locations that only exist in Germany. Having been blessed with the privilege of living a year in this country, we were not able to take anywhere close to the amount of time that we would have loved to just explore, converse with the locals, and enjoy the cuisine and scenery that is exclusive to your beautiful land. Please never feel that you are wasting our time by adding more people, food, or the stunning world that is Germany! Thank you for what you do!

[@jaehaspels9607]

I think the length of their videos is just right. They get a lot of content in but it doesn't become tedious. If a video goes over 30 minutes, I tend to move on to another video. It's better to have multiple short videos.

Deana, when you looked so sad when Phil said the family (stuffed animals) was too big already I said to the TV 'aww I'll buy that for you'

These towns in Germany are so pretty. The forest actually reminds me of the Pennsylvania Pocono Mountains, look up photos of that and you will see the resemblance. German food and desserts looks so delicious to me. I could definitely live on German food everyday. The only thing I would possibly miss would be our great Seafood on the east coast of the United States which would be our great lobsters and are delicious crab and our delicious sea scallops and so on, otherwise German food does it for me. Thanks for showing us these beautiful places. I love it! 👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Please don't suggest Flammkuchen is from Alsace, France and was borrowed from there. Flammkuchen originates from the bigger region, which is in modern times split into Baden-Württemberg, Saarland, Alsace and Lorraine. The dish is a shared German and French dish.

[@lesparks126]

You all didn't make it to the ruins at the top of the falls. You could have a had a great Johannesbeeren Sorbet. Also the Red Wine (Rot Wein) in the region is fantastic. The Spätburgunder in the area rivals the dry wines across the border!

[@sus829]

It is called the Black Forrest because of all the pine trees and it is very dark in the thick forrest with the pines. The rest of the forrests in Germany have the leaf trees, not as dark. Have fun in Stuttgart, my parents are from there and all my relatives are there. We are the only ones in America but it gives me a reason to visit beautiful Germany!

[@miriammielke3983]

We visited Schiltach in 2019 and it was nice to reminisce while watching your video. Now I regret not having purchased the Black forest nut cake. Makes me want to return at some point.

My dad was USAF and we were assigned to Grafenwoehr in Bavaria during the early 80s. I went everywhere from the Obersalzburg to Bremen/Hamburg the Rhein and the Black Forest. For me Bavaria remains quintessential Germany, but the Black Forest was amazing.

Ok, I can see why my ancestors chose to settle in Appalachia since coming from Baden-Württemberg.

12:40 The town was founded in 1599 and built in a square layout. I think they originally planned to build a palace in what is now that huge market square, but then abandoned that plan.

[@TM-ow6dv]

@@imrehundertwasser7094 well the town was planed with the market place, and streets arround in the shape of a nine mens morris game board. And yes a castle should be the center. Because Freudenstadt is in the middle between Strasbourg and Stuttgart. They abounded the plan out of several reasons one was they didn’t find enough silver in the mines, another was that Herzog Friedrich died and his son didn’t want it.

[@mjjkop28xx23]

The thing about the Flammkuchen is that Elsass-Lodring basically is/was Germany. So it’s a German/french food and it tastes amazing😍

Hi Deana und Phil, wenn ihr noch der B500 folgt und in der Region Schiltach/Rottweil seid, hier ein paar regionale Empfehlungen. 1. "Wasserschoss Glatt" ist großartig für Kaffee und Kuchen. Weiter die B500 runter 2. Der "Kandel" bietet eine wunderbare Aussicht. Kleiner Abstecher 3. Die Hexenlochmühle (bei Furtwangen) lohnt sich.

Wait. You hiked up the Allerheiligen Waterfalls, mentioned how much you would like a snack right now and then TURNED AROUND without visiting the old monastery just a few 100m ahead? You could have had your cake right there. Also, there is a path a little up the hill running parallel to the waterfalls back to the parking lots, offering some very nice views from above.

[@bjoern0975]

Of course, in Germany, cake is not considered a dessert and not had after a meal, but is a "meal" of its own in the afternoon. Just as you said: Kaffee und Kuchen. So, of course, one should really sit down for it - best in an old-style café - and have a cup of coffee with it, rather than eating it as a take-away item. This is not very German at all. But probably you did not find a quiet place to film at a sit-down café? Once back in Düsseldorf, you should certainly visit Konditorei Heinemann in the Kö Center for some traditional coffee and cake. I think the furniture in the bedroom of the rented apartment was more '90s than '70s style. But, yes, very typical of privately owned guest apartments.

[@gplunk]

freudenstadt has arround 25.000 inhabitants.. And it has the biggest marked square in Germany. You missed the opportunity to eat the best Black Forest cake in Freudenstadt. ( they even give courses in how do make Schwarzwälder Kirsch Torte) But funny that you went from Mummelsee to Allerheiligen to Freuddnstadt and then back freudenstadt Kniebis, where the Elbachseeblick is… You also missed the opportunity to visit the Wein Black Forest Ham butchery/factory… The Black Forest was originally a mixed forest, later they cultivated Spruces which floated down the rivers to Amsterdam and then shipped … today around 70 %of the Black Forest isSpruces now they started to go back to the mixed forest with Deciduous trees.
