Hello, German hunter here. All those things you discovered in front of the deer stands are known as a Kirrung or in English 'bait site'. The trough with the roof on it at 40:35 is where we put corn for the animals and at 47:16, that is a salt lick. If you found any wooden logs cut in half with legs on them, that is also a place where we put corn for the animals.

[@indirac.4010]

Awwww.....good knowledge. Thanks for sharing

[@Definitely_Not_Sheev_Palpatine]

As an ethnic German living in the US, I wish more people thought the way you guys do. The bit that starts at 59:00 was touching for me to hear, and, whether intentional or not, seemed to elude to the way people tend to think of Germany in light of its checkered past. I would like to take the opportunity to say that every corner of the world has a dark history buried somewhere in its past. And although Germany's is in somewhat recent memory for a few, it doesn't mean the culture is bad or the people are bad. The fact is that none of the people responsible for the terrible things that happened are still alive today, and although Germany still has its work cut out for it in building a brighter future in spite of the past, I can't think of a country today that doesn't. Germany is a beautiful land full of kind, smart, hospitable, witty people, and I hope more people have the opportunity to go there and experience it the way you guys have. Thank you for this video!

[@sarahd2800]

Germany holds a very special place in my heart. Our family was stationed there with the US military for 4.5 years from 2008-12. Our youngest daughter was born there. That magical place will always have my heart. Every word you said of your land, is so very true.

[@YodasKitchen]

What you say is true, there are good and bad people everywhere. We remember what happened during the 3rd Reich, but many forget other genocides that took place: Stalin's endless purges against his own people, the genocide against native Americans, the Armenian genocide, the massacres that happened during the wars of religion in Europe, to name a few. Nobody should ever forget any of these because they are lessons not to repeat, no matter which nation / ethnic group perpetrated them. Despite the history, I find that Germany seems to be quite accomodating to those who work. I have several cousins in law who are "minorities" shall we say and they were all able to study and be active in the medical profession in Germany. My wife is very visibly not European and when we were hiking in the Palatinate a couple of years ago were well received by the Germans we crossed on the trail.

[@ash.lou613]

@@YodasKitchen sadly yes media was taking off then, so we know more about the genocide on germans hands. but this is what we all live with today. to be german or white is to be automatically the enemy. we now KNOW what the racism feels like to all of you and in some ways its more harmful because its acceptable. you dont see racism to whites or germans in the papers or on news or see it listed as hate crimes, but any other race, you look at them wrong and you land yourself in jail. this is the MAIN reason i dont talk to people. you literally cannot say a thing without offending someone. tell someone they got brown hair and lordy loawd, hear the offended sing. we were not around then and we nor our land should be held to such accounts that people become divided and a whole new style of civil war happens...race cancelation. not genocide...but making a race so obsolete that they no longer exist by choice. after all most of are half breeds anyways...name one pure person. ONE. im half native, english and scottish (jacobite rebels). so im not pure. i could pull the native card, could.....but im seen as white and treated thusly. but my history is just as embedded in darkness as the rest. res schools. english slavery under kings. scottish slavery under kings. gladiators in the arena when they took over the empire. but we forget those people too. they werent tanned enough. and we forget it was the scandinavian who invaded english soil and took them over. long long lines of blood and we always find a way to blame one race. ONE. ONE

[@mojbeka]

"small town of about a 100,000 people" - that's a city!

[@davidwhitehouse3243]

not here in europe, in uk we got towns with 250,000 ppl in them, in uk your town has to have a cathedral in it before it gets city status, theres a town here with 250,000+ ppl in it next to a city with less than 50,000 in it, 1 has a cathedral the other doesnt.

[@FabianBecker]

@@davidwhitehouse3243 German here. 100k is most definitely a city. It even counts as a Großstadt (large city) when the population grows beyond 100k.

[@walk-tall-hikes]

A city in the US too. Albany the capital of NY State only has 97,279 (2018) They did actually call it a city after they called it a small town. 😁

[@DAlexKablack]

generally, yes

[@FabianBecker]

The "ancient stone marker" you saw in the middle of the woods is called a "Grenzstein". They marked borders between things - cities, petty kingdoms, your neighbors land, etc.

[@thebare-footedcambodian6607]

I’m a simple man. I see an Adventure Archives video, I press like.

[@AdventureArchives]

Hahaha

[@numbereightyseven]

You might get more out of the experience if you press "play"?

[@geoffsalmon7495]

They just feel like family to me...so warm and human.

[@jorgetrenton8991]

Dont know if you guys cares but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf for the last few days :)

[@bryantfinn5950]

@Jorge Trenton Yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :D

[@eLeMeNtSZ]

loved the fireflies shot

[@tk1153]

I knoooow right...wooooow

[@jamesberry1109]

I have now seen at least 10 of your videos. They are captivating and addictive. But love the tidbits of hiking strategies and plant ID along the way. Lived in Germany for two years working for the DOD and we had one son born there. Have been once because Germany is so enticing. I am so impressed with your skill levels, filming and editing, which I must believe takes longer than the filming, it is done so well. On top of that your music accompaniment is excellent. I will probably not get back to Germany again in my lifetime, despite wanting to visit again for ancestry searches, so your video of Germany is spot on. In fact, all of the videos are spot on...THANK YOU SINCERELY, for your work, dedication and determination to have a great product. By the comments, it's clear that everyone feels the same. Keep up the good work!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much for this heartfelt comment!

[@TailEnd88]

When I went to Germany my senior year of high school it was in February during fasching. That really marked a turning point in my life; a broadening of my horizons. I am proud of how different I am from that person who knew nothing of the world. My heritage is German, that's why I wanted to go. But in case you didn't know, fasching is German mardi gras and an 18 year old is considered much more of an adult in Europe than in the U.S. And even though much fun was had, my favorite part was a hike through the black forest even if it was the middle of winter.

[@nfo981]

Really nice episode. At 47:17 what you saw is stand where hunters puts salt. Actually that red stuff inside is salt that melts and drains into the grooves so deers and other animals could lick it. In that way they teach animals to come at that spot, so they can easily catch them from hunting tower.

[@AdventureArchives]

Interesting! It's a very fascinating design. I bet some of the people I know who hunt in the US might have been able to recognize it, haha. Cheers! -Andrew

[@Dovid2000]

I lived in Ramstein, Germany, for three years. I often hiked through her forests, which left an indelible mark in my memory and in my growing fondness for German landscape.

[@dmac5x1]

Thanks for another great video. I particularly enjoyed the portion on Kaiserslautern; I'm an Air Force Brat and attended Kaiserslautern American High School while living in Ramstein village and Air Base in the late 1950s and early sixties. This brought back many fond memories.

[@HansImWald]

I am from Germany and I liked this video a lot. We do have a beautiful country!

[@normg2242]

Really enjoyed this, I also LOVE your humor and your lightheartedness. Hey can I make a request for the next time you're going to Germany? It's the Berchtesgadener Land, a part of the Alps that will blow you away. Start at Konigsee (King's Lake) and hike up the Saugasse (Sow's lane) to Funtensee (lake Funten). If you still have some breath left in you, hike up the Watzmann, one of Germany's tallest mountains. It will be a trip of a lifetime, trust me.

[@Skulkx]

The Stinging Plants @12:00 is a "Stinging Nettle" or "Brennnessel" in German (yes, 3x 'n')

[@treynewsom1817]

Had to stop this video at 35:34 and comment how f'n awesome that Firefly time-lapse was.

[@eddiea3251]

Nice intro. I lived in Hohenecken Village in 1995 while in the Airforce. Been to the castle ruins many times. Miss the country there.

[@darthimperius3]

Loved this one guys, great job! Germany is one of my favourite countries to visit! Your German pronunciations were amusing :) If you're ever in England, specifically the Peak District to go camping drop me a bell, I can be of some assistance. :) Love from the UK - Just Another Floridian in England AKA Alicia Martin!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much! Haha, yeah I am curious how bad our pronunciations were. We would definitely love to visit the UK some time! Cheers! -Andrew

[@Don__]

I hope you liked Germany and will come back some time. I'm kind of sad that I didn't know you were here, as I live in the southeast of Germany and would have liked to meet you.

[@AdventureArchives]

Hopefully we will return sometime soon! Sorry we didn't get to meet up, but we'd be glad to next time! -Andrew

[@Don__]

Awesome. I heard from friends that canoeing in Scandinavia is also pretty great. Getting two hikes in might make the transatlantic flight more economical.

[@MkmeOrg]

Simply AMAZING Gents! Truly enjoyed that. Cheers. Eric

[@AdventureArchives]

Thank you so much!!

[@musicisbrilliant]

Holy CRAP!!!! Im ashamed to say I had NO IDEA how gorgeous Germany was!!!! Those people truly care about their communities. "Quaint" is exactly my thoughts. My god thats inspiring!!!! I think I want to move there. :)

[@GerlachMartin]

What an episode. Feeling sick and hiking are not the best combination. I am glad that you had a nice trip despite the difficulties and enjoy my homeland. But sometimes I wish we had such amazing big landscapes and places like yellowstone or yosemite. Keep up great work I enjoyed this episiode very much. Thank you!

[@chrisruhlander3195]

Dicker Wikinger yosemite is awesome. But you can go to the alps here or if you prefer less people, more green and still mountains go to Bayerischer Wald. We often forget what we have right in front of us...

[@AdventureArchives]

Being sick and outdoors is definitely not a good combo, haha. I definitely like those grand landscapes, but growing up in the Eastern US, I've grown an appreciation of the woods. Sometimes they feel a lot more alive than other landscapes, even if they don't have the towering mountains and such. Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@NganNguyen-ri4hd]

the abandoned rail and the music somehow remind me of "Spirited away." 😂😂

[@tridad2000]

Gentlemen, sincere thanks for a wonderfully filmed, edited and narrated video. I had the pleasure of living in that particular area and you travelled many of the same paths I had the pleasure of exploring during my time there. If you ever have the opportunity to return you may enjoy searching for both Franco-Prussian War and WWII bunkers located in the area. Once again many thanks!

[@Slashplite]

Please always make videos using local traditional music! It makes me feel the vibe of the local culture

[@BananaRama1312]

Well they didnt put the right music on xd

[@sablinger]

It´s a shame camping on public lands and state´s forests is prohibited nearly everywhere in germany. You guys really got lucky getting one of the few (really only a handful of) spots people can have an overnighter. Great Video!

[@geryan6559]

Great Episode as always!!

[@kaityfeather6259]

Just became a patreon! I love these videos so much, you guys put so much time, effort, & attention to each video that it feels as if I'm adventuring right by your side. I'm always inspired and motivated after watching these videos. Thank you for helping me reconnect with nature :)

[@LeaLikesIcecream]

Love the song when you went into the forest. Reminds me a lot of the forest theme in Prof. Layton Pandoras Box. Great episode and looking forward to welcome you back to Germany soon :P

[@indirac.4010]

Poor Thomas, always lost lol. Germany was challenging but glad you all went there for the experience., and as always, you affectionately include THOMAS (Tanpants Sinard :) ....lovely) in his absence for an episode

[@Hilly2826]

Totally made my Saturday night! Thank you!!!!!

[@ALventureniAngkol]

This was great one! Thank you guys once again.. missing your adventures for a couple of months and then finally! keep safe!

[@jrschembre]

Loved this! Haven't been to Hoheneken for 39 years; it brought back sweet memories. Remind me to tell you sometime. ;)

[@jordanhoward10]

something that can now never been unseen... the siloette of Bryans mustachio in front of the airplane window. great job guys. can't wait for the next adventure! cheers boys!

[@uptrail7169]

Very Good Video!! Germany has a lot to see! The tunnel was cool and it would have been neat to walk through it. I would have done the same and turned back. lol Thanks again for another awesome AA video! Bob

[@tatravelvlogs]

Nice you have been to the Palatinate Forest! That is one of my favorite regions to go hiking here in Germany. So many amazing trails, beautiful sandstone formations and many old castle ruins!

[@sageleeone]

Quite interesting and captured my attention to see how you found your way out. Also glad that even as tired as you all were you kept filming. congrats guys! Job well done!

[@Nerding4Nature]

I'm only 1/3 of the way through but couldn't wait to comment because plants. Yarrow is my very favourite plant. I used to keep a bit of it tucked into my sports bra during roller derby, just like Achilles. Well, he might not have used his bra, but it's hard to find good athletic wear with pockets). Also, mine was more for good luck than stopping bleeding, though I suppose it could be handy in that regard - players aren't allowed on the track if they are bleeding. Also, the tea works wonders on colds. Sorry, I'm rambling. I could easily do some rambling about stinging nettle too, but I'll just go back to watching.

[@AdventureArchives]

Interesting! I didn't know about the whole luck thing. I guess I need to brush up on my Greek mythology. Your rambling is definitely more than welcome! And thanks for watching :) -Andrew

[@Nerding4Nature]

Well, I think Achilles used it to treat his fallen men, but others will claim it has some more supernatural qualities.

[@iggybear4373]

You woud like Croatia it has many hiking routes like Samoborsko and Zuberacko gorje and Velebit and many plants to see

[@smetlogik]

Another epic vid! Those forests, WOW! Sehr angenehm! 🇩🇪

[@MsMelissa216]

That ending when you hung up on Thomas😂 priceless!!! Happy Birthday Andrew

[@AdventureArchives]

Hahah, thank you! Thomas is always the butt of our jokes, but we love him. Cheers! -Andrew

[@jasong2814]

Great episode! I kept getting a lot of medieval and fantasy vibes, which were really enjoyable. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!

[@shenandoah1322]

Stinging nettles - we have those here in British Columbia, Canada, too. I remember encountering them when hiking with my family as a child.

[@mikelee2490]

Beautiful video guys. Again you show us the best in humanity and where we should be with nature. Love you all and may God bless you in your further adventures. We are truely blessed to have such good people in our world thank you.

[@FNFWS]

Totally feel your pain. Went backpacking in Yosemite and was sick for a couple of days. The warm sun + stomach issues were not fun, and I definitely took a day to just sit around and do nothing but swim (which did help - too bad that pond was no good). I'm so glad you guys keep it real by showing the discomfort too, and that you went ahead with publishing this. Keep up the good work, and if you ever want to shoot near Tahoe…

[@thadesplatter5080]

Man, couldn't wait for this to come out! Great work you guys. Keep living life on hike at a time.

[@umbrellacorp.]

Guten Tag 💓 🇩🇪 💓 What an intro and high quality video. 👏 You guys have really high quality content and you show my country Germany in the best way possible, thank you. 👍💯

[@evilgingerfilms6115]

Man, I really miss living there. You did a great job capturing the beauty of the country.

My old stomping grounds!! My family was stationed very near there for 4 years, about 8 years ago. Germany is AMAZING

[@WalkingtheMiles]

Great video, as always. I'm buried in chores this weekend and unable to hike, so it was great watching this in the background while I graded papers. Thanks for taking the time to make such great content.

[@Ryanhelpmeunderstand]

My favorite part of this video was the Fireflies!!! Just wow...!

[@maxwilliams5291]

Loved the video once again guys, I just realized that you make all of your music yourself and I'm really surprised. All of the songs you've made seem to be made by professional composers. That just credits to the massive pile of good content you have created. Keep up the hard work! -Max

[@OrganicSilverMoonDesignsLLG]

Beautiful thanks for the great video!

[@AdventureArchives]

Thanks so much for watching!

good stuff guys!

Thomas needs to be in future episodes

[@AdventureArchives]

Agreed! He'll be in the next one! Thanks for watching :) -Andrew

[@daviddenkhaus6403]

Another wonderful episode guys! For some reason, the song and forest scenery that started after Andrew was writing in his journal reminded me of catching butterflies in Macalania Woods in FFX. lol.

[@MrFloris]

While it turned October, and my weekend night is long and lonely. I go through the todo app I have, organizing my month(s) to come. I was thinking, I wish there was something on youtube that is at least an hour, always has that great vibe, and is usually inspiring me on many level. I decided to refresh the subscription page and this gem showed up. Simply fantastic timing. Thank you for sharing this with the world, and I can't wait to see it. *click* Starting it now.

[@fzilla42]

Nice video, thank you! I like that you guys include the good and the bad of hiking and camping. Sometimes, such as with your example, ailments make it just not as enjoyable and you guys were real about that. Love the educational info about the environment as well.

[@peaksandpaws]

Totally going through all of your videos today. Haha... Great stuff! I really liked this one, too. Especially because I am from Germany and live now in San Diego! :) You guys make me want to join you on your adventures. I am a crazy nature fanatic as well and can't get enough of backpacking and simply being out there!

[@rolderic5659]

very beautiful forest!

[@Wayner71]

[@johnschrader8363]

That firefly shot is so cool!!

[@sunshinetomato]

I'm way behind in videos, but I just finished watching this one and I wanted to comment that I particularly enjoyed the piano rendition of your theme song toward the end of the hike. :)

[@AdventureArchives]

Awesome, and thank you! Glad you noticed that :) Cheers! -Andrew

[@davidwhitehouse3243]

the sun sets at 11pm in scotland in late june, then rises at 3 am, you guys should come hike in uk, you wont need any bear spray here, theres no animals or plants that can harm you hear plus wild fires are a 1 in 20 year event in england, no wild fires at all in scotland.

[@Bad_Batch_65]

Damn good to see you guys back out in the woods!

[@jacklesackle4304]

in every video, the music gives off a vibe of a zelda game mixed with animal crossing, and a studio ghibli movie

[@MatchaMelonPan]

Hey Guys! Thank you so much for this great Video..! actually i was searching for 'camping germany'. Its great to see all this places again, it brings me up so many old memories :) I hope you had a good time and come soon again. Lovely and Best Greetings from germany 😀

[@wendysuperfan1014]

thanks guys

[@LMackleless]

Hey guys, that’s so incredible! I watched some of your videos a few years ago and lost touch. But now that I’ve found you again, I realized that you’ve made it to my living room the palatinate forest! That's so nice :) We could have meet up in the woods and I could have had shown you around, what a pity. But one thing I must criticise: You went to Palatinate, one of the most famous regions in Germany for wine making and what did you drink out there?!? Beer from Bavaria!?! literally from another country… You should have tried some wine instead, oh bummer!

[@christyhill6209]

I love your thoughts at the end of your videos... if we could all take time to know other people not like us the world would be a better place! Happy birthday Andrew!!

[@wrockker]

You guys need to come to Canada! Fly into Calgary and head to Banff, Jasper, Kananaskis - tons of great hiking.

[@josephsweeney1261]

The barbed plant is called stinging nettle in the UK, Pretty common across the UK

[@kckrye]

Great video guys! I have several friends that love Germany and said they would consider living there.

[@rebeccacaspers3925]

Love!!

[@unknowncsd]

that was a good call to end it early... many people don't and end up in trouble...keep up the googd work

[@AdventureArchives]

Definitely! I tend to be stubborn and not want to cut things short, but I have definitely had to in the past. Better to try again another time than to have things go wrong. Thanks so much for watching! -Andrew

[@danielpedersen6895]

You guys should visit one of the forest reserves in my home country, Norway. Then you will experince natural old growth forest or"fairytale forest", where you can explore many species of plants mosses and mushrooms. Maybe you see some trolls to ;) Just take the fligh to Oslo. The whole capital is "sourounded" by boreal forest and you can also find som forest reserves with old growth or natural forest(or even some virgin forest)

[@AdventureArchives]

+Daniel Pedersen That sounds amazing! Norway is definitely one of our dream destinations. It's pretty fortunate that there is still old growth there!

[@SimonPoikilia]

The plant you were talking about @11:26 are called stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) , and you can probably guess why. They are probably one of the most common plants in the whole of Western-Europe. You see them everywhere here in Belgium. My grandmother used to make soup and tea from the leaves, I still wonder how she plucked them. Because they sting so much they are literally every child's nightmare. I fell in a big patch of them back when I was like 10 and it was the worst day of my life. You can actually use Plantain to cure a nettle sting. Just take one of the leaves and rub them over the wound and it just stop itching. Love it that you guys are discovering Europe! Takes me back to the times my parents used to take me to the south of germany. Keep it up guys! love your work :)

[@Kringspiermusketier]

Great videos!!! Im dutch but I've lived over 20yrs in Germany. Its funny to see you guys trying out some typical German food and snacks! 😂 Hope you enjoyed it! 😋
