"I think we're in Austria" - "Yeah, we are, definitely". Welcome to the European Union. You often won't recognize when crossing the borders, except when you have a close look on street signs. Especially when using smaller roads. It's often fun to cross borders with non EU citizens, when they are used to strong border controls and the stuff. For us it is just "the normal thing". Especially when you live close to the borders, as I do from Lake of Constance (a place you should definitely also visit) ;-)
I think it depends a lot whether you live near a country border or not. I grew up in the midst of Germany and we didn't travel much, so crossing a border has always been something very special to me. When I left Germany for good, I moved to Switzerland, so although there's Schengen, there are still border controls for me. So I still cross every border with a bit of excitement, even when I go from Austria to Italy or from Germany to Czechia.
It depends. There can be exceptions on special occasions. I was once woken up by Italian border patrol in the middle of the night in a night train to Italy. There was one guy talking to us in italian and a second guy pointing a submachine gun at us. That was quite a scary experience. Especially as we did not speak the language. Luckily we had a guy from the North of Italy in our compartment, who was fluent in both, German an Italian. All of that happened already under the Schengen Treaty.
@@amrimi8371 Schengen just means there are no border controls.
But there can be other controls anywhere, if there’s a reason.
@@amrimi8371 Oh wow, that must have been scary! What was the reason?
@@tobiasbock4914 Die Kontrolle hat in dem Fall direkt an der Grenze stattgefunden.
You can make it twenty countries. Just keep on driving for one and a half hours and you are in Italy.
They would be in South Tyrol, which is NOT Italy!
@@namenlos40 South Tyrol is Italy and you know that, stupid.
@@hevog Oh Gott, Hevog.
Italy, nice place, the people not so nice.
Bavaria is so beautiful 😍And the footage of the bridge is amazing, guys 👏👏👏👏
Yes, Bavaria is beautiful BUT in this vlog they were not in Bavaria and actually visiting Austria which isn´t Germany
Pretty sure you wouldn't have needed the Vignette in Austria since it's only for the Autobahn-style Roads. The one closest to where you have been would be the Inntalautobahn from Arlberg to Innsbruck/Kufstein/Brenner. Additionally the are some additional tickets needed for some tunnels (e.g. Tauerntunnel) and mountain passes (Brenner) in Austria.
The soup you had is a Flädlesuppe. Basically broth with sliced Pfannkuchen (you know the thing between NA pancakes and french Crepe)
Try the "Titan RT" bridge in the Harz. :)
This bridge is 483m long and has the world record for the longest (i don't know how to explain that in english) "frei überspannte Teilstück" (458m).
And the views there are way more nice there, because of the "Talsperre". :)
This region is breathtakingly beautiful. I've been to Lermoos in May for the first time and I'll go back in August. In general, you only need a Vignette for the Autobahn in Austria. For the route from Füssen to Ehrenberg it would not have been necessary. If you're unsure whether or not you need one, you can always ask at the tourist info or the gas stations. And on a personal note: I love the music in your videos. I'd love if you could add the song titles in the video info :)
www.asfinag.at/maut-vignette/vignette/#lg=1&slide=0
Borders are marked with Star Circle on Blue signs and the country u enter..... i remember being a Kid when there were checkpoints everywhere in europe... going to netherlands... belgium an Austria etc,,,,, its so beautiful to Go to Austria like just going to another City.....
Its not that long ago the iron curtain started to fall with all those GDR "tourists" camping in the german embassy in Budapest, being invited over to Austria and beeing welcomed by the Austrian foreign minister.
Have fun and enjoy, even if there is rain. As the Germans say: there is no bad weather, just bad clothing 😉😂
So nice to see you had a blast that weekend. I love your open mindedness to learn about new things / culture / food. Your videos are always amazing. High quality and you've got an eye for very nice and breathtaking shots as well as for beautiful details such as blossoms and that nice salamander. Keep those videos coming. Hope to see you here one day and take you around.
Willa's hat looks so cute. Enjoy your time and make a lot of lasting memories.
I dont know your exact route plans, but FYI: the vignette is only required on the Autobahn and some "Schnellstraßen" (Autobahn-like motorways) in Austria, Switzerland, Czech Republic, ...
P.S.: route-planning software like google maps will show those roads as "toll roads". So if you set 'avoid toll roads' you'll get a route that doesn't require a vignette.
Yeah thought the same thing. Pretty sure they wouldn't have needed the Vignette in Austria for their trip.
I highly recommend Hallstadt (museum, church, Beinhaus, excavation and salt mine) and also the dachstein eishölen/Mammuthölen
You only need the vignette for motorways (Autobahn/Schnellstraße) in Austria and the vignette for one year is a waste of money in the middle of a year. 3 x 2 month is cheaper. There are some exemptions from the vignette on some Autobahn stretches for example on A12 german border - Kufstein Süd, A10 Tauerntunnel, A13 Innsbruck - italian border. You can find the vignette and non-vignette routes on the ASFINAG webpage.
Plus: Make it digital and you don't have to stick anything onto the windscreen. 😉
The child is so cute, she looks a little like little yoda with the hat. Definitely similar cuteness factor
You are such a lovely family. We have our second home in Lechtal. It is a truly wonderful valley.
That sounds amazing! Thank you for the kind words & watching! 😊
Wow we cool , I am every 3 week‘s there … 🤗
On the Ehrenberg Therme , to go to Sauna and Relax … 👻
Love Austria! My favorite place to hike had been the corners of Italy, Slovenia and Austria in the Austrian region of Kärnten.
Love your enthusiasm for everything you experience.
You should really visit Lake Garda, Italy for summer holiday💫🥰
We would love too! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@OurStorytoTell you won’t even notice it’s in Italy during summer 😜 . „Man spricht deutsch...“
Jepp, Gardasee is a awsome area!!!
Yes lake garda is great.
Well honestly...there is absolutely nothing wrong about Pizza..BUT you missed out way more than just "a lot" not to have tried actual local austrian food....just saying.
OK you had a Frittaten soup (= soup with a thin pancake in stripes) that is at least a decent start.
For instance in your last video you tried Käsespätzle, and it came across that you loved it ..Well every region (meaning not country but just region in and near the Alps) has its own version and the taste is therefore always slightly different because it is made with - local mountain cheese which there are a lot of different types with different taste - and therefore the taste of Käsespätzle variates a lot from region to region...just as an example.
And there is no "favourite place" in Austria..simply everywhere you go in Austria you will end up being in middle of a breathtaking post card view...no matter if you are in the countryside or in a town or city or village...and I´m here not exaggerating, you will see.
Austria´s tourism is mainly based on tourists which are coming again and again and again visiting all different kinds of places in order to stay for some days enjoying the enviroment and all what it has to offer = beautiful nature, old traditional culture, and especially tremendous food which variates in the sort of different local dishes a lot from region to region ..it is not a - so to say - one time destination.
Fritatten ist the austrian word for Pancakes. So you had Pancake Soup, which is most of the time delicious
HAHAHA welcome to europe where border crossing is nothing special at all :)
I really really love how you edit your videos with the music. Great choice.
You also need to come du Austria agein and visit Innsbruck. It's my hometown. You can find historicals suroundet by mountains. Innsbruck is also a olympic city. Maby you know the Bergisl it' s for skiflying. Innsbruck is so beautiful. I life near Innsbruck. Greetings gabriele
Thank you for all the suggestions!! It sounds amazing!
I second that. I work in Innsbruck and live in Aldrans since 7 years now and I love it here.
I love the alps, too. Unless you drove a lot further into austria that day you would not have needed a vignette at all. You only need it for the highways.
Oh, and my favorite part of Austria is Nationalpark Hohe Tauern. In particular, I can recommend the glacier trail in Innergeschlöss: www.osttirol.com/en/national-park-hohe-tauern/discover-and-experience/detail/glacier-trail-innergschloessschlatenkees/
We've been to Bavaria a couple of years ago and did a similar trip to Füssen - did a similar trip to Neuschwanstein and the surrounding area, but we chickened out at the Highline 179 😱
I love Austria it's such a beautiful country. I have been to Vienna and Salzburg twice. It might be my husband and I next destination again in 2022. Both times in Salzburg I thought I walked in to heaven. Absolutely breath taking. Thank you for taking such beautiful videos, and taking us with you to Austria . You made my day today.
Nice video again guys! From what I saw I think you had "Fritatten Suppe" or "Eierflädlesuppe" (two names for the same) which is broth with stripes of thin pancake in it.
Thanks 😊It probably was!
I heard "frittaten" for the first time :) so interesting!
I call it "Pfannkuchen-Suppe" or "Flädle Suppe"
@@sunshine_girl If I remember correctly, I picked that term up in Austria, while Flädlesuppe is probably a more swabian term. I am not a 100% sure though.
A tip for you next visit: Burg Hohenwerfen :-)
The suspension bridge is called Highline 179, as the national road going under the bridge is the Bundesstrasse 179. When it opened in 2014, it held the world record for the longest pedestrian suspension bridge. The Bundesstraße 179 follows the old trading route from Ulm and Augsburg to Italy, crossing the Fernpass ("firn pass"). The vignette is only needed for the Austrian Autobahn, not for national roads.
Is that in Salzburg please?
@@paulasanford1228 It is in Tyrol, near Reutte.
Oh yes, nice soup! In Austria we call it "Fritattensuppe", a beef broth with thin pancakes cut into strips. Very tasty and very well known in Austria.
It was really so fun to try! :) Thanks for watching!
there are so many nice locations in Tyrol... you totally have to visit them to :)
We cannot wait to explore Tyrol!!
Looking the vid. Outside is now more than 30° C (88F). In the vid it's raining, cold. Risa is wearing a winter jacket and gloves..... Whaaaat.
Just from watching on the bridge I get funny feelings in my stomach. I have a fear of heights! I would never go over there...
Heights are definitely not for everyone! Risa was hanging on tight at first that’s for sure!
I don'T know if you like wintersport - but the view from the top of a mountain on a sunny wintersday and then gliding downhill on the powdersnow is the greatest. You must try this
As a day trip you could visit Salzburg. Further away is Vienna. I would spend the night there.
From your house it is also not far to the Czech Republic, Prague.
You should take an trip to Sächsische Schweiz!
Enjoy your time in Germany/Europe. 👍
Hope we will see much more videos of your adventures. 😉
Stay tuned because they definitely are in cue! ☺️😊
I just remembered - try to find "Flädle-Suppe". It's a soup with pancakes cut in thin stripes.
Yummy!
Austria, ist das nicht das Land mit den Känguruhs? 😉😄
no
Australia, not Austria 😆
Hach, I remember, the good old rain! Now we have 34°C. ;)
If you are into border crossing watch this vlog: th-cam.com/video/MYtNw_NpJtI/w-d-xo.html
Lmao why do you keep saying "expacially". It's especially.
If you stay a bit longer in that region or come back one day I recommend visiting the "Zugspitze". But the weather has to be good so you have a nice view. 🙂 When I visited the highline 179 some years ago it was crowded and the weather was exactly the same as on your day there. 😉
I also feel the best and most beautiful country for me. Keep it up. "You can't learn values, you can only set an example"!!! (Victor Frankl)
Next time out the sticker on top the left side of the window BUT ONLY in the clear space of the Window. Some police in Austria and Switzerland don't enjoy the way you dit it (Button right)
Try Germknödel or Kaiserschmarrn. Thats the perfect alpine austrian food
Thanks for the suggestions!! We will have to try them! :)
I love your adventure hearts
Ahh you’re the best Michele!! We love you!! 💛💛
Frittaten Suppe is nothing else but a pancake soup. In germany pancakes can be sweet or savory. If some of the savory ones are left over, people tend to make Fritatensuppe. which is just cut up pancakes put in a broth.
also "Palatschinken" is another name for pancakes, often used in austria. just in case you find yourself reading that on a menue.
Ah, Frittatensuppe! It's like thin pancakes cut up...kinda. You must come back soon in better weather! There are soo many beautiful places, especially in Salzkammergut.
Sorry, that you sich a bad weather. 70 % of rain is not normal. This year spring war the coldest and the most rainy for 40 years in Germany. So Austria was affected too...
Yes, the Alps are breathtaking! I live in Switzerland and just this morning, I went SUPing on our lake. Paddling with mountain view ... It can't get better than this!
Just watching this makes me want to hide in a corner... 😲🤢 This see-through Floor alone would KILL me!
You might enjoy this video: th-cam.com/video/L9_f3GldYGg/w-d-xo.html
Who has been to Austria before?! Tell is your favorite place to visit below! ⬇️ 😊
Hello , there are sooo many Places in Austria to visit. Salzburg City and souroundings. It is the Place where the Trapp Familiy comes from. Upper Austria also whith the seaside, Attersee, Mondsee, Traunsee. Also Vienna for its own. Vor Winetasting come to Burgenland and Steiermark (Styria) Also Kärnten , …Greetings from Austria. Astrid
If you love the Alps, then I recommend to enjoy a drink or dinner at the ice Q restaurant in Sölden / Austria - it's stunning up there! And yes, it's affordable, without any real dress code.
Many times...Next trip is in September to the Großglockner region before we drive on to South Tyrol in Italy.Graz Christmas Market was great, nice hiking in the Karwendel Mountains, Wilder Kaiser is also a place to see....so many options and not enough free time ;)
Salzburg definitely
Vienna
Hey just letting you know, you only need a Vingnette, if you want to drive on the austrian Autobahn.
Just awesome! Come to Oberstdorf. This is right on the German-Austrian border. ✌
Thank you for sharing this breathtaking video..and the background music is always so beautiful and spot on.. Vielen herzlichen Dank 💙
Thank you so much!
geht mir auch so für mich das beste und schönste land.macht weiterso."Werte kann man nicht lernen,nur vorleben"!!! ( Viktor Frankl )
There is no such thing as bad weather - only inappropriate clothing!
I live in Austria you must try Schnitzel or Sachertorte is a Dessert 😍
We will have to try it!
@@OurStorytoTell 🥰
Hexenwasser Söln auf der Hohen Salve ist wunderschön für Kinder und oben angenommen hat man eine atemberaubenden Ausblick. It s a most do.
ah the famous pancake soup the austrians call it frittatensuppe
I love the cinematic shots at the end of this and the last vlog! Really enjoying your videos and it gives me a holiday feeling :)
Such a brave lil girl. Absolute lovely to watch. 👍
you just need this Vingnette if you use the Autobahn. On all other roads you don t need it. I learned the hard way and had to pay 120€ for a 5 kms trip from Germany to Germany using the Autobahn. :-(......and yes.. this bridge is longer than the Capilano Suspension bridge in North Van. Besides: all the food you are showing in your videos its worth watching!!!
Ahh bummer! We didn’t know it then, but have now figured them out! Thanks for the comment and sorry that happened to you!
This is close where i live but i would faint immediately right on the first step. Tried a much smaller suspension Bridge which wasn't that open on every site and i still was frightened. Never had fear of heights before. Been to Vancouver too and the Capiliano suspension bridge is about 70 meters high the highline 179 is 114 meters high. Love your daughter she has no fear at all:-)
We’ve been to the same bridge in Vancouver! So fun to hear how you would react-thanks for sharing!
nice vlog.music fits perfect to the great landscape and you got view on details like the geko or the snail.
Youve got a brave and sporty child, congrats! keep it up and stay safe
Thank you so much! 🥰
Which month is it
Nice trip - just the bridge would scare me off with my fear of height.
BTW as you like to travel around to find nice spots, I'd recommend checking the church St. Bartholomä www.berchtesgaden.de/bartholomae
You will just need to check on beforehand (maybe by calling them) if it's open, but right now it should. Also check the weather forecast - best thing during a sunny day without being too cloudy...
It's a "post card" scenario there - you'll drive to "Königssee" by car and from there you can take a boat ride. The lake itself is surrounded by high mountains on 3 sides and in the middle of the boat tour they normally do a short stop and do some trumpet play. The way they do it you will hear several echos from the mountains... When taking the boat tour, I'd recommend to do it not just to the church pier but to the pier at the opposite end of the lake. There you will find an "Alm" where during summer time this is used for the cows. Those "Alm"'s do have a picknick spot (not really a real restaurant) where you can buy and eat some of their own made cheese, bread etc. which is very delicious.
You're not going to believe this but we just visit the Highline179 2 weeks ago! So funny!!
Oh my gosh crazy!! I hope you had a great time 😊
Pro-Tipp: You only need a Vignette in Austria to drive on toll-roads. The B179-Fernpass is toll-Free, you can use it so. I know it, because this is one road I often use. The Autobahn Insbruck-Bregnez is a toll-road, but to drive to Insbruck, you didn't have to use it. It takes a bit longer, but its ok. Even if you want drive to the Reschenpass, you can use Country-Roads. But its faster on the Autobahn. Reutte and Ehrenberg are nice to stay.
I live at the other end of the B17 i saw on your Navi
If you like to visit another bridge, visit the Wildline bridge in Bad Wildbad in the northern black forest. There is also an wooden pathway up in the trees with a tower at the end, which offers amazing views. But i can imagine that the black forest is already on your bucket list. :-)
Yes it is and we actually have already been so keep an eye out for that video Sunday!! 😊
@@OurStorytoTell That sounds amazing :-)
You guys picked a great time to travel and hit the tourist attractions. I would encourage you to visit Salzburg and Bertchesgaden before the international tourists start returning. Also from your home location Prag and Vienna are only 2-3 hours drive and beautiful to visit. In your place I would visit all the most “touristy” places now and the quirky, fun, unusual places later. The vignettes in Switzerland (annual) and Austria (5/10 days) are tolls for the Autobahnen. You can avoid them by using back roads. The Swiss vignette is for the calander year, so you pay the same price in January as November. If you have an ADAC (German AAA) office in your town, you can also buy them there. If you are traveling a lot in your car, you might want to join the ADAC, as they provide breakdown assistance on the highway and have interesting maps and tour guides that you might find helpful.
I love your cuts and music choise
Oh you try the Frittaten soup, you can do that at home. Make very thin pancakes, and cut them in very small stripes and pieces. As Long you know what a vegetable soup is made, put the stripes in, do not forget put Maggi in (Austrians please forgive me) and you have kind of Fritaten soup 😀 For me as a born Bavarian , a visit in Austria was the wrong decision, but this is a hole different story… if you drive 2 hours more via the Brennerpässe you can drive to Italy, visit the well known Lake Garda! This is a trip worth! Your Sweety is so adorable with that lovely hat! Have a nice time!
While you are down there, make Liechtenstein 🇱🇮 your #20
And while you are in Liechtenstein, make Switzerland your #21 ... It's so small, you probably will miss Liechtenstein anyway and drive into Switzerland straightaway :)
enjoying your adventures...I lived for 45 years about 1 hour from the Capilano suspension bridge....being over a raging gorge seemed to make it all that much more scary. I would not have been able to walk over that one in Austria....the MarionBruckle at Neuschwanstein Castle with the wood board floor also was difficult for me... Im such a chicken.
Capilano Suspension Bridge is only 136m (446ft). So this one is way bigger...
I'm glad you had such a nice weekend. I only know the castle and the bridge from pasing underneath, heading further south, you will probably come back again on your future tours.... the soup is the yummy Fritatensuppe in Austria, if you come to Baden-Württemberg the same soup is called - Flädlesuppe-! which only means cut salty pancakes in stripes...the Vignette for Austria you only need to use the Autobahn! Same for Switzerland, you have to buy it to use the Autobahn. Where as in France or Italy you paydirectly at toll stations.... lucky you, German Autobahn is for "free". Have a nice Week!
Aren't Disney productions just a cheaply made impression, compared to the real thing?
Now you know why you go to work - these are the moments you couldn't afford to experience otherwise.
Loved the video. I am actually from Western Austria (born in Vorarlberg, living in Tyrol). the Soup you refereeing to at the end of the video is called "Flädlesuppe" (think in Germany it is also called "Frittatensuppe", it was may favorite soup as a kid).
I was just going to write "it is called Frittatensuppe in Austria", but I guess I just learned that only we in the east call it that.
Actually it's called "Frittatensuppe" *only* in (eastern) Austria.
Also visit Lake Constance and maybe the southern Black Forest. Very nice.
It´s really cute when you see the enthusiasm in all your eyes (especially Willas). It brings back memories of our family holidays at Chiemsee.
BTW that is another cool destination for a weekend. Prien an Chiemsee with a ship ferry tour to Herrenchiemsee (Ludwig II copy of Versailles)
on an island on the lake. If you like fish i can recommend Chiemsee-Renken (Trout) they are really tasty.
You can get the Vignette online also,so no more placards on your windscreen;) If you can manage to plan your trip without any stretch on the Autobahn you do not need one at all
Your video(s)...so well produced. Thanks for the ride. :)
simply F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C 😍😍😍👍
she isen't brave she is exited to be out and about with her parents. she feel save with both of you around. and is enjoying the bouncing and the mood you both are in.
Great little journey. 👍🏾😎 Love the alps too. Greetings from Berlin
If you are ever in lower austria you have to look at Schloss Hof, a beautiful castle with gardens and even a free zoo with lots of animals for Willa to look at :-)
You only need vignettes for Austria and Switzerland.
Wow nice view watching from germany
Thank you! 😊
Really funny how you count the number of countries you have already visited. Most Europeans probably wouldn't think of it, because is just so normal to travel to another country. 😂 (OK, now I counted as well. I visited 18 countries if you count the former gdr while it still was in existence.)
Haha yes it’s so fun for us to count because we love seeing the number go up!!
if you can, go for a short trip to southern tyrol, especially seceda and the region around tre cime and lago di braies. if this has already been breathtaking to you, wait till you see seceda ;)
Oh we cannot wait to see those areas!! 😍
Omg 😱 the bridge. I am scared of heights but it looks amazing .
From that suspension bridge one can see numerous houses below. What must it be like to actually live in such beautiful scenery and see it all the time. But if you've grown up there, it probably seems all perfectly normal.
Agreed!!
What city are you in? You say you arrived… but where?
Bavaria, Germany :)
@@OurStorytoTell yes, ill be there soon, but i need something to put into maps, cant miss Christmas market
the soup is called " Flädlesuppe" its made out of a broth, mostly chicken or beef stock and sliced pancakes, but the big ones, like crepes....
Das nächste mal kaufst du eine digitale vingiette beim ÖAMTC, wie hat die Frittatensuppe geschmeckt?
It is Not necessary to by a Vignette, if you don't go on the Austria Autobahn
That scenery: Wunderschön!
Hitler was an Austrian :(
