i love these kind of videos. living in germany for 40 years, being born and raised here i'd never go to these kind of places. sometimes you need another perspective to appreciate whats just next door
Cochem was one of my favorite places I visited in Germany! There was a fun Burgfest there in the beginning of August--basically a ren fair type of event with people dressed in medieval clothes, sword fighting, crafts, and music. Also had some delicious pastries & coffee at a cute shop in town. And did bring home some wine! 😉Would love to go back! ❤
10:03 There are no strict trespassing laws in Germany, so even it is private property, as long as there is no closed gate, you are probably allowed to go there. In publicly accessible privately owned areas you can often see signs like "Privatweg - Benutzung auf eigene Gefahr", which means you are allowed to go there, but the owner is not liable for any accidents that may happen.
Hi Erika! My wife and I were in Cochem in April, 2023. We didn't stay overnight there, we actually stayed at a B&B in Kobern-Gondorf. But we spent several hours in Cochem and we enjoyed it very much, just like you. We toured the castle, and we got on a tour in English, so that made it easier. We also discovered the same cemetery you did, and we spent some time there. If I remember correctly, there are many nuns buried there, correct? We ate dinner at the Alt Cochem restaurant, it was excellent, authentic German food. We also walked across the bridge to take photos of the church, as well as photos of the town from the bridge.
Planning a trip to Cochem w my partner this August and found your video. my partner felt lazy going on the castle tour but I surprised even myself when I said (with a straight face and a serious tone) "but the stairs have abs 😐"; so now it's part of the plan and this vid have effectively marketed reichsburg tour 😆
Thank you for sharing your trip to Cochem. Very informative and interesting to watch. I am planning to visit Cochem in July and found this video helpful.
I've been to Cochem multiple tiems in my life. Mostly as a kid. I love it there. it's beautiful. Love seeing it again. Thank you! Also I don't think i've ever seen the river be that high. :o
great fun review go there at the last weekend in August for the wine festival..a great weekend for all ages and in summer its really beautiful. and those wooden barrels etc are wine grape presses
This is the first of your videos I see, I’m just halfway through but I need to say I really really love your style doing this. Especially the time stamps are a great feature!!!! Love it!
I was there about 6 month ago, I think that Burg Cochem has the best interior in a castle I’ve seen so far, but the title of the Best Castle in general goes to Burg Eltz without a question, it’s just about 15 km away from Cochem and definitely worth a visit! Edit: as I was there I walked through this climbing-path-thingy as well, and some similar paths that lead to the monastery (or it’s the one you took idk :D) but I personally absolutely LOVE this kind of narrow hill path, especially with this view on the part of the town that looks pretty ugly if you walk through it, but from above it looks pretty sweet, (idk if you walked through this part of Cochem, but I’m pretty sure a lot of those buildings where half timbered houses, just like in the lower part of the town, but with those very ugly 1970 and 1980 Fassade which looks like you throw cement at the buildings and didn’t care how the end result looks :D)
Dear Erika, German white wine from the Mosel are usually medium- dry or medium-sweet or can be very sweet. The nice thing is they are usually lower in alcohol than other wines. Sometimes as low as 6-7-8-9 % alcohol by volume. I enjoy your videos a lot
P.S When I take photos of myself with a phone on a tripod, I use back camera in video mode, strike some poses and then choose the frames I like most from the video. Although the image quality is a bit worse.
Hi Erika, I follow your videos like many others and I really believe you make great content. I would suggest you to plan for the festival in Kiel, also known as Kieler Woche. It is very underrated, however it is in true sense very international. I believe this year, the festival starts from 17th of June.
The red phone booths have books inside them, you can take a book for free and return it when you are done reading. It is done on honorary basis. You can even put your old books there for others
hi erika, i love ur videos so much, they are so sweet and helpful, but can u make a video about dresden? cuz that's the city i am moving to and i am very nervous abt it
That's fair! But honestly it was one of my favourite cities to visit. It was soo quite and the landscape was so lovely. Plus the houses made me feel like im in a small little german village :))
I am german and i don`t get it either. Mosel and Oberrhein are known in Germany to be one of the most beautiful areas of the country. I mean that area has sparked big parts of the romantic cultural movement in the 1800`s.
my partner just got a job offer in Germany and we are most likely moving from Colorado this summer! We are nervous though because many of the cities seem to be very cloudy! Have you come across any places you really liked in Germany that were a bit sunnier than the average!? I am excited regardless :)
As above average sunny cities I would recommend you Freiburg. It's a really beautiful and not to big city with cute canals and old buildings. It also has a University so there are many bars, cafes, clubs and young people. Another sunny region would be the one reaching from Heidelberg to Freiburg along the Rhine and the German-French border. It's a really beautiful region too with many wineyards, old cities and the Schwarzwald. The Schwarzwald is a big national park and really nice to go hiking in Summer or skiing in the Winter. Hope I could help you ^^ I myself am btw. from Germany, although not from that region but I've been there a few times.
8:30 acho que quem fez isso estava querendo passar uma ideia de distância. Tipo o lugar não pode ser ultrapassado, mas é lindo de se ver. A beleza não pode ser "tocada" na minha opinião.
O que eu me refiro é a estátuas essas coisas pois você deve ficar observando e eu acho que é isso que foi retratado, quando um homem fica tocando nas coisas parecem crianças. 😂😂😂 É por isso que falam não existe homem para mulher. São que nem crianças ficam abraçando e beijando toda hora. ❤❤❤
7:22 por que sem o nariz? Nariz é uma forma figurativa de falar sobre si mesmo, pois é a única coisa que você consegue ver sem se olhar no espelho. Tipo você não consegue ver sua boca, basta tentar que você entenderá que não é uma crítica é só curiosidade.
6:45 grape presses. In Romania's country side, there is one in almost every house becouse we make our own wine every autumn 🍷🙂
Those presses can be used to juice many other fruits. In Czechia we use them not only for making wine, but also for making raw apple juice 🙂👌

feels like a village out of pixar or ghibli movie.
That is true, even more so if you visit luxembourg city.

i legitimately almost choked because i was about to drink something when you added the "i am under the water" audio XD well done, cool video!

Hi Erika, you should definitely visit Heidelberg!! It is one of the prettiest places in Germany! Can't wait to visit it one dayy🤍
The ceilings ❤️✨
The KD tour boat back to Koblenz on the pretty winding River Mosel is very good. Good value.
Thanks for your wonderful video

A lot of very nice views from Cochem. Together with your outstandig kind of commentary, it is a real pleasur, watching this video.

Also I don't think i've ever seen the river be that high. :o

I like the old timber houses in Germany. I have been to Germany for the first time last year and probably plan to go again next year.
Oh I'm early! Great video as always erika! :)
Great little video, love your style, thank you for sharing!
You are absolutely adorable and I am really enjoying your videos!

Yes, we like it too. And indeed, stairs and steep roads there. We have seen almost every region of Germany but we like the Mosel region the best.
thank you for another wonderful video Erika!

Great Video Erika! ❤👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Fun fact: Reichsburg Cochem is also featured in the Anime “Violet Evergarden“
They are apple presses or grape presses. Great video
Such a cute town 😍
Nice one. I shall be visiting Cochem myself in a months time.
This was strangly entertaining... btw... they are wine presses I think, for the grapes.
Cochem looks so beautiful! And the pink trees at the river bank, spring is here
P.S When I take photos of myself with a phone on a tripod, I use back camera in video mode, strike some poses and then choose the frames I like most from the video. Although the image quality is a bit worse.
Great video! It deserves much more views.

What a cute place! Thanks Erika
It is a winepress (Weinkelter) to press juice from grapes to be fermented into wine.
Love your videos 🙌
We visited Cochem today and it was heaving with people.
hi erika, i love ur videos so much, they are so sweet and helpful, but can u make a video about dresden? cuz that's the city i am moving to and i am very nervous abt it
Соснем определенно замечательный город
Great video, good voice over! 👏🏽
Thank u :))
the tub you're asking about is a grape press to make wine
I live next to cochem. In the past it was a well known tourist hotspot. But unfortunately it has lost some of his glamour over the decades.
love ur vids :3
Nice, looks a city where I would like to live.
Great castle and vibe. Hoensbroek Netherlands has a great castle as well. I was born there, Hoensbroek not the castle...😂
I booked a visit but then realized it's on a Sunday. Is this the type of city that won't have anything open on Sundays?
6:45 - those are fruit/wine presses
The circular machines are wine presses.
I love cochem i want there in the summer
Awesome video just subscribed
Du hast mich überrascht: Ich habe nicht so schnell mit einem neuen Video gerechnet!🤓
You missed the bunker where they kept the alternate money in case of an outbreak of another war.
The thing you see and dont understand are old machines to press grapes to wine, Weinpresse is german name
The brazilian national anthem playing at the back at 9:57 hahaha
Nice video.
I live near Cochem and I don’t know how people can be so impressed by this city
That's fair! But honestly it was one of my favourite cities to visit. It was soo quite and the landscape was so lovely. Plus the houses made me feel like im in a small little german village :))
So what do you like? It's a shame that you don't value this area. One of the best I have ever seen in Germany.
I am german and i don`t get it either. Mosel and Oberrhein are known in Germany to be one of the most beautiful areas of the country. I mean that area has sparked big parts of the romantic cultural movement in the 1800`s.

@@flyin9703 thank you!!!!! i will definitely check it out :)
It's funny to read the thumbnail as Cyrillic though🙃
:D sosnem
The round things you did not know are wine presses.
Suddenly, Brazilian anthem at 9:59
❤ let’s go
❤❤❤
Nice title )) (for Russians)
Wawawewa!
I suspect that those things that you were not sure about are wine presses.
This looks like the village from Resident Evil: Village
Why are you videos so cute ?
This channel should have discord community!
綺麗な映像に感謝
Diese Dinger dort sind Traubenpressen.
9:56 The Brazilian anthem???? WTF LOL
Those things are grape presses!
That makes sense :D thank u
Gesundheit 🥸😆

" you know, a little bit of Jesus" I pray he doesn't treat you as off handedly, young woman
Beautiful town
Hi Erica. You are so pretty girl !!!❤
we bombed the shit out of cochem in the second world war and every thing was rebuilt in the 50,s so everything is only about 60 years old
