- Why didn't we know about this place earlier?? Seriously, we had lived in Germany for 2 years until we learned about it and made a visit! The scenery here is so cool, we definitely recommend visiting this area!

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING OUR FAMILY! xx
Tanner, Risa, Willa + Noa
You have to go hiking more often in Franconian Switzerland. There is so much to see there. Caves, many castles, waterfalls in Gräfenberg, stalactite caves Pottenstein. All hiking videos on my channel are from Franconian Switzerland. Feel free to take a look if you are looking for specific items.
Thanks for the suggestion!! We definitely need to! 😊
If you like old city centers than you should visit Dinkelsbühl and Nördlingen. They are also close to each other.
We will look into those! Thanks 😊
and Rothenburg, it has the only fully remaining town wall in Germany
Small towns can be hidden jewels for sure. Hope y'all recover quick. Sometimes we just need some quiet down time. Love the videos!
Most definitely! 😊
"your turn, Daddy!" So cute ❤😂
Lovely place. Thank you for taking us along.
By the way, does anyone know what happened to "My merry messy life" channel? They seem to have disappeared.
me too, I wondered. Hm. I have no idea but I guess it is due to some unexpected RL issues. I hope they all are well.
Thanks for watching! We don’t know either. Hopefully all is well 💗
As the video opened upon the vista of Pottenstein and then took us through the Altstadt, it struck me just how appealing so many small German towns are compared with Britain. The Germans make it look so inviting for visitors, whereas all the towns near me look run down, dilapidated, as if it's a sign that the local town council just doesn't care what the place looks like.
They make it nice for their inhabitants, not for the visitors
@@karinland8533 Well, indeed. We don't make our towns nice for anybody.
South Germany is giving tourists a distorted impression of the country.
Once you go above bavaria and baden-württemberg, everything looks a lot more familiar to you 😉
Also keep in mind that every place looks a LOT nicer in sunlight, compared to grey clouds and rain.
I'm currently staying in the very south-west in Freiburg, and have many relatives a bit further north near Offenburg.
It's no comparison to the "Ostwestfalen" region in the center of Germany, where I live.
The weather, architecture, food, nature, cleanliness, bike infrastructure, jobs... Everything is better in the south!
...ok, except for cellphone coverage. That totally sucks down here!
And the prices, especially for food. I'm supposed to pay 7€ for a handful of fries with mayonnaise! Can you believe that?
In my hometown, people would set the "restaurant" on fire for that audacity!
@@allesdurchprobiert "Everything's better in the south", so would you like the south to be brought down to the north's level instead?
@@SuperLittleTyke No! Did I say anything that implied that?
I spent so much time riding my motorcycle our there before I moved to Utah. There are so many beautiful places to explore in the Franconian Switzerland. Can't wait to be back for a home visit in a few weeks.
Thank you for yet another beautiful video. I really enjoy your mixture of landscapes you portray as well as food and culture. I have looked through your playlist and wonder: have you ever been to the Elbsandsteingebirge in the southeast of Saxony? It is a national park and has the most bizzare rock formations that I have seen in Germany. It is also called "Saxon Switzerland", just as other parts in this country are compared to "die Schweiz".
Not yet, but sooon ☺️
And thank you so much for the kind words about our videos!
I really enjoyed this video of yours. (okay, honestly I do enjoy them all!). I can only guess how much work you have to put into your awesome work!
I know, you like it quaint and pittoresk, so, if you ever happen to be in the most northern part of Bavaria (Unterfranken), you might want to visit Miltenberg. A small town with a lot of halftimbered houses, neat cobble stone lanes and....... it is situated right at the river Main. It has a castle (die Mildenburg), an pharmacy museum and it is also called "Die Perle am Main" ... the pearl of river Main.
Willa is growing so fast, each time I watch a new video I am surprised........ and she will be a video professional soon, she actively participates more and more. So cute.
Thank you so much for the comment! Sorry we are slow responding back, but your suggestion to Miltenberg sounds so fun!
@@OurStorytoTell no need to apologize, I can well imagine how hard it is to stay informed about all the comments and proposals while still doing new vlogs with all the work and editing. I am glad I could catch your interest for Miltenberg :)
Take your time and relax. You are "on the road" so often and I guess, you do not allow yourselves to just relax, as you want to explore as much as possible.
Thanks for sharing your experiences - but do not forget to chill once in a while. Love goes out to you guys! ❤
Thanks for the reminder! 🫶 We do need to hear it sometimes! Haha although chilling and relaxing with two little kids seems a bit difficult where ever we are 😂
Even in previous videos you guys looked tired, of course traveling on this summer heat with two babies is exhausting, take a break and really enjoy life, you are doing excellent job.
Yes, take it easy and look after yourself!
Yes we are tired with two little kids! We assumed it was a season of life 😂 We do make ourselves more tired too I’m sure by the travels though. Thanks for the reminder 🫶
You have to visit Pottenstein at the 6th of January for the Lichterfest. It’s crowded so you have to reserve in restaurants, but all the campfires on the hills are amazing.
Wow we had never heard of this event until now! Thanks for sharing. That’s awesome! 😊
You also can go to Obertrubach (not far from Pottenstein) at January 3rd. They use big waxlights, and when you are lucky there is snow. And the best: It is less crowded and has some absolutely stunning views.
Ja genau Franken is sehr schön!
Anothet great video. Thanks for sharing! Also, Willa’s gonna need her own YT channel soon!
She enjoys being a part of our videos! We’ve actually tried to show less of her but she always wants a say!
The roller coaster trip sequence was funny!
😊😊 thanks for watching!
I can highly recommend a daytrip to Bad Windsheim. The historic town is interesting and even more is the Franconian Open Air Museum. They have real animals there, Willa would love it there. The "Therme" is cool, too, but unfortunately not for children.
This place sounds awesome!! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Childhood day trips😂 You've missed the stair up to the castle
That’s funny you used to visit there! Small world 😂 And yeah we took it up there last time we went, but not this time!
in Pottenstein there is the devil's cave. A stalactite cave with a bear skeleton
So cool! We talk the cave at the end, but will have to visit next time! 😊
Hi, you four. Nice to see you use a few of the sunny days.
That you don't like Marzipan is no skin off my nose. In tiny amounts in the "background" of a cake I can tolerate it. I ain't no fan of it either. Bienenstich however is awesome.
Willa is still charming the socks off everyone. Still too cute to be true.😂❤
Sunny Sunday Greetings!
Back at you!! Except now we say have a happy Monday! 🫶
Hi all, Ja nee, is klar(may be you know this german phrase by a comedian and the meaning behind) always and only for Willa to get on a roller coaster. What a high effort done by the older kids to make a Happy Day only for her. 😀Nice to see you also enjoy the non well known smaller and local amusement parks. I really thought what will this family do once in another country without all the german bakery and cakes. inconceivably CU btw, do you have list which roller coasters are still pending for Willa (or Tanner) ?
We literally don’t know what we will be doing without all the bakeries 😭 We will be so sad!!
Having just watched the Indian movie Pihu (with English subtitles), I urge all parents of very young children to watch it. It is very harrowing, but worth it. Maybe watch a trailer first. It does have a happy ending for the two-year-old child, whose mother has died and the girl is left alone, her father having gone on a business trip and unaware of the fate that has befallen the mother.
Very interesting! We will look at a trailer and then see! Thanks for sharing.
You two are full time parents of two little ones (and Tanner has that off-camera job), please don't wipe yourselves out! Better to delay an excursion (and a video) than to exhaust yourselves ,etc. You're doing excellent jobs taking care of your little ones and us viewers but PLEASE don't forget to take good care of yourselves!
Thanks for that reminder! 💛 We should have waited to go, but felt up for it in the morning… lol then the car ride made us sleepy, the heat hit & our energy went downhill! Haha being a parent to two little kids is definitely no small task!
Lovely
Thanks for watching!
I just started watching your channel from the US and was wondering how you guys got to stay in Germany? My husband's grandmother was born in Bavaria and he inquired about getting citizenship in Germany through her and he could not.
Welcome to our channel!! So happy you’re here. 😊 We are able to live in Germany through Sato status. So we aren’t citizens, but instead Tanner works for the US government. We are only able to be here for a few years sadly & our time is running out 😭
It seems that Willa can pronounce the name of the town better than her mother.
Willa is around so many kids and adults at kita who speak German. It’s fun to see her learn and speak!
Guys, don't say observatory tower when Willa's there. It's Rapunzel's tower. Seriously, your beautiful videos have changed my opinion about life in the countryside. I'm increasingly getting the urge to move to the countryside as well. This place reminds me of Area47 in Austria. That would also be a cool video spot.
Oh we have heard of Area47!! We’ve been wanting to go actually. Sounds like you have been-How cool! 😊
@@OurStorytoTell I wasn't inside because of a broken leg. But I'm not really into adrenaline junkies anyway and prefer going to the zoo. By the way, if you're in Belgium again, you absolutely have to visit Pairi Daiza Zoo. There's no other zoo in the world like this one. It's soooooo beautiful!!!!

The gorgeous geology you mentioned is the reason the Nazis trained there for deployment in Italy and Slovenia. Also there was a satellite camp of Flossenbürg in Pottenstein. The „Teufelshöhle“ was also developed by a Nazi called Hans Brand. The local government in Pottenstein just does not want to shine any light on that part of the town‘s history.
Yes we didn’t know that at all! Wow. Thanks for sharing so we can learn!
Hallo my most love TH-cam Channel ❤❤❤❤
Ah means so much! Thanks for being here 🫶
