We Stepped into a Postcard! 🇩🇪 Visiting Reit im Winkl + a Hike for Our Wedding Anniversary

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2021
- Come celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary with us, complete with a champagne toast! We got a babysitter (for the first time in Germany) and stole off by ourselves to Reit im Winkl, a village just 40 minutes from our home in the Chiemgau Alps. It's a popular ski town in the winter and a hiking town in the summer and looks like a postcard. Two German Olympic champions have come from Reit im Winkl! We toured the town, then drove to the Winklmoos Sonnenalm to eat a delicious German lunch. You'll hear the sounds of the Alpine cow bells as we eat and enjoy our Dunkel biers!
Then we hike to Muckklause - a gorge just across the Austrian border. Yes, we walked right across the border!
Make sure to watch till the end when doing our champagne toast 🥂 and show you that our very first wedding anniversary was spent in Germany! 🏰 Yes! Isn't that cool? We stayed in Treis-Karden and saw Cochem castle and Burg Eltz! We will show you some pictures from that trip. And we drink too much champagne and start acting like...well, you'll see!
If you're looking for a fun and cozy spot for a vacation any time of the year, we can highly recommend this village!

Did you guys make it to the end to see the pictures of our first anniversary that was also spent in Germany? Germany has been in our hearts for a long time. And at the end things get really silly!
Wir essen Hamburger auch mit den Händen :-) Happy Wedding-Anniversary
Loved the video! Happy Anniversary... and next time: get two bottles - and yes, film it! :-) ♥♥♥ all the best to you!
@@JohnHazelwood58 we like the way you think! 2 bottles!! 🎉🎉
You'll eat the Hamburger the way you want to, I would eat it with knife and for, 'cause it is too messy for me either, and I've got small hands ✋✋ so they are mostly too big to hold 😆😆😆🍔 in October we are going to Garmisch for a holiday, maybe the last one with our son, next year he's doing his Abitur, so no more family holidays then, he wants to study after that, unlike his friends that want a year off
Loved the end btw😂😂😂
There is nothing wrong eating a burger with your hands (if it is not too messy, LOL) . And of course, happy anniversary.
wanted to say the ecxact same, so 'nough said, just enjoy...!
In the question of how to eat your hamburger, me as an old Prussian would say; as you like. Or as our old king Friedrich II. Said:”Jeder soll nach seiner Façon selig werden “.
So cute at the end.. champagne giggles and a happy anniversary!
Yes! Champagne giggles 🤣🤣🥂.
Its realy nice to watch Your Videos and to see my country trough your eyes.. Unbelievable that in this area one of the darkest side of the menknd has happend. Hitler lived few kiilometers away from the place you are living now. May the open heart you bring with you, heal this dark side of our country. Thank you!
Congratulations on your anniversary! And congrats on finding a reliable babysitter! Good to know that you have the chance for some alone-time, i'm really happy for you two!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
eating a Hamburger with fork and knife: "you finally arrived in Germany!" :D
Happy Anniversary!
Just binged-watched your Germany Videos the last few days - I really enjoyed them. It is always fun to see an outsiders perspective on the country you are living in.
Ah so cool! Thanks for watching!
I loooove the pace of your videos. Always calm me and make me smile.
You are such a nice couple! Thank you for your very nice videos. My best wishes for you and your children.
Vielen dank! Thank you for watching!
I just started watching your videos and you are so amazing, cuddly and everything. In Burghausen with your Kids, I felt like taken to my youths ( 60es/70es), with my parents, climbing the Walls, getting Ice cream ... just great ... keep your spirit an go on the next 15 years an on and on and on :)
Vielen dank 🙏🏻❤️
Happy Anniversary! The Winkelmossalm is very famous in Germany because it is home of Rosi Mittermaier who won several gold medals for Germany in the olympics - so did her husband and her son! You are lucky to live in such a beautiful holiday region. Even Germans love to spend their holidays there.
I still can't believe all the amazing things to see less than an hour drive from our home!
You two are so wonderful and natural! 🥰 🍀
I've never eaten a burger with a fork and a knife in Germany. We usually eat burgers with our hands.
There are two things you can easily eat with your hands: Burgers and chicken. With burgers, it depends on whether you can still eat them easily or if you have to dislocate your jaw - in the latter case, you *can* use a knife and fork.
Fries are an in-between thing, I usually eat them like the main meal - with burgers and chicken, your fingers are already greasy anyway, so you can use your fingers for the fries. With schnitzel, on the other hand, I already have the cutlery in my hand, so I use that for the fries too.
And spare ribs...
Good explanation
POMMES 🍟
And a bread with any topping for breakfast or as a small meal in between and so on. There are more things you can eat with your fingers :-)
And a cone of ice of course ;-)
Being that cheeseburgers aren’t typical authentic German cuisine, I wouldn’t hesitate to eat it just like you did … at least as you started out. 👍🏼
Good point!
I've never managed to eat a Burger with my hands without spilling the sauce all over me.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife I am pretty sure NO German would blame you for eating a Hamburger with your hands 🍔😁 The only reason why we eat bigger burgers with knive and fork is that it might become too messy otherwise 😂
i watch all your videos already.....very nice family....you all should stay forever here in germany.....you are open minded and a big win for germany
the next comments to your channel will be in german language...lol
Thank you! 🙏🏻 Such kind things to say.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Your sweet family is truely an enrichment to (for?) Germany! :)
Ihr seid wirklich sooo ein sympathisches Paar! Ich liebe eure Videos und eure Begeisterung für die deutsche Kultur und die deutsche Landschaft. Besonders gern mag ich deine Naturaufnahmen, liebe Sara. Und die Musikvertonungen gefallen mir auch. Weiter so!
Vielen Dank! Wir freuen uns sehr, dies mit Ihnen teilen zu können.
Burgers? Always with your hands and if the burger is good, also with your whole face :-)
Happy anniversary.
I like the way you think!!
Servus Neighbours, glad you feel well in the Chiemgau region
Such a sweet video...and a sweet happy couple. Very warm congrats to your 15th anniversary. Times have changed...but you seem to kept your spirit, your enthusiasm and your humor. Great annex as well, not a bad choice to toast with Brut d'argent. Looks like (real) champagne, but it's "only" a good Cremant (Sekt). 🎊🎉🎇💖
Thank you, Peter! Yes, it looks like real champagne but wasn't!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Still made in the same way as the "original" and 100% Cardonnay. Did you really kill the whole bottle?
Btw: I had the Brut d'argent Rosé (demi-sec) the other day... nice fruity strawberry flavor, perfect for a sunday brunch or a summer evening on your terrace or in the garden. 😉😊
Of course you have a marriage advice, actualy you have many:
just hike together, love each other a lot, enjoy the good food, educate the kids, spend time together as a couple, ....and be a good example (by eating a burger with a forke and a knife)
for your kids. You are great.
Was für ein schönes Video.
Ihr habt eine gute Zeit, freut Euch über die kleinen Dinge und genießt Euer europäisch deutsches Abenteuer in vollen Zügen. Das finde ich toll. Macht einfach weiter so!
Und natürlich alles Gute zu Eurem Hochzeitstag.
I wish you health and happiness. May you have one hundred more years of wedding anniversaries.
Vielen dank!! ❤️
How do you do this?
Every single one of your videos is a beauty to behold, and rivals or outpaces what most tourist centers try to publish.
Fun, mellow, not singling out one aspect but focussing on so many sights, insightful, unhurried... the list of positives could go on for a long time.
Happy Anniversary, you two.
Oh, and I see you two have matured to a dark beer in a Maß, so the one liter mark has been reached. 😁
Gröstl is such a typical Bavarian word. 😃
Couldn't keep from smiling. Hehe, you are picking up so much dialect just traveling around. Nice.
Burgers you can easily eat with your hands... unless it gets a REAL mess because it's so overstuffed.
No-one is gonna frown at you if you eat a burger with your hands.
Eating with your hands adds a haptic component to consuming food that is simply missing when eating with a knife and fork.
Niiiice, that you retained the champagne flutes. Yepp, happy, buzzed anniversary again. 😊😃
Thank you so much for your kind comments! And you’re so right - Gröstl is such a Bavarian/Tirolean word!
A very warm Welcome to y'all!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum 15. Hochzeitstag. 🥂 Halb so viel wie ich dieses Jahr feiern konnte. 😉💞
Vielen dank, Dolores!
Thank you so much for sharing your video! My family is from Reit im Winkl and I live in Missouri. So nice to be able to take a stroll with you through your videos!
Oh how nice that your family is from this lovely village!
Best way to start a chilling Sunday is with one of your great videos 😃😉
Thank you! 🙏🏻
a whole bottle of champagne on your wedding day? I think we all know what that leads to. 🍾🥂❤
Congratulations on the anniversary and all the best for you🎆✨
Yup mmmhmmm! 🤣😍😍
I come from Munich, so I don't live too far from Reit im Winkl, but your love for Upper Bavaria is downright contagious, just great, please stay as you are and happy anniversary. 👍🖐️
Btw, we also eat hamburgers by hand, however, this is not an ordinary burger like at McDonald's or Burger King.
We are just loving it here!
😍such a nice Video!! I sit here with a smile in my face...ejoy this wunderful sunday 🌻 Greetings from the Black Forrest 🌲
Ich genieße es wirklich zu sehen wie ihr meine Heimat genießt, Leute wie ihr erhaltet diesen Ort am Leben
Very nice! The german version of Disneyland, with a major difference. Everything is real. Enjoy your anniversary, you beautiful people.
That’s right! You can see where Disney got his inspiration.
Beautiful day trip! You two are so cute! Happy Anniversary!
Thank you! ❤️
Awww, so much fun watching!
💐Happy anniversary, Sara and Kevin, and many more to come 🥂🍾
You and your kids spread so much joy and good vibes 💗
Thank you so much, Bea!
😂 Ich esse meinen Hamburger genauso wie du! Zuerst versuche ich es mit den Händen und dann doch mit Messer und Gabel … 😉 Alles richtig gemacht! 👍
Hamburger isst man eigentlich mit den Händen.
@@susannabonke8552 Manchmal auch mit dem ganzen Gesicht :-)
@@Meisterschnorrer 🤣🤣EIN Grund warum ich selten Döner hole. Die Jacke kannste danach wegtun.
@@susannabonke8552 Da gebe ich Dir recht...Einfach beim Döneressen vorbeugen...aber das Gleichgewicht nicht verlieren...Charmantes Wochenende wünsche ich!!!
Thank you for sharing your special anniversary celebration and yet more views of a most beautiful country! I have a 90 year old friend here in the US originally from Germany. Every time I show her yet more beautiful pics of her former country from somewhere online , I ask her, "is it really this beautiful"? She always responds with a resounding "Yes!".
It’s so true - it keeps getting better and better!
It really is this beautiful...
I remember the first time our son was at his friends house over night and our daughter wanted to stay at her friends house, too. Suddenly my husband and I sat on the sofa and had no kids at this evening. We looked at eachother and then decided to go to the cinema asap before someone could call us to pick up one of the children (no cellphones at that time).
Though you love your children a bit of time without them is very nice.
Happy anniversary! Good luck for the next 15 ;-)
How fun! Yes we love our kids but also need time as a couple.
We eat Burgers out of our hands, so just go ahead and do it your own style. And happy anniversary to both of you 💐
Kornblumen 11:25 - I love these!
Ah is that the name? So beautiful!
Another very nice and fun video. Thanks for sharing. And Happy Anniversary!!
Thank you so much!
Happy anniversary my lovely guys! The love you share is sparkling in your eyes. The end is so cute. Thx for sharing these wonderful memories with us. Now i really feel like a family member. 😍
Awe thank you! 😍
Loving this series 👍 x
Herzlichen Glückwunsch
You two got a great style of editing your videos. I like them alot. I'm also suprised everytime by the beautiful scenery in your area.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻❤️
Congratulations 🥳🥳
We usually eat Hamburgers with our hands too. Did you know how Hamburgers got "invented"? When europeans settled in America, many used Hamburg harbor because most ships started there. And like you know we germans really love our Brötchen and sausages and meat and have a long tradition of putting meat and sausages in Brötchen. Those settlers who started in Hamburg of course did the same and over the centuries the americans changed this snack to what is still known as a Hamburger. Btw same with hot dogs (Frankfurter in a Brötchen like on every Volksfest in Germany).
Hamburg ist still known in Germany as "das Tor zur Welt" (Gate in to the world).
Happy anniversary ❤️
So cool! Thank you for sharing!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife You NEED to see our beautiful north (Hamburg and the Lüneburger Heide) once. I would get so HYPE seeing that video! :)
NOT in the winter though ;)
@@Alexp37Sieben Monate im Jahr ist die Norddeutsche Tiefebene unbewohnbar. Und der Rest ist Winter.
@@franhunne8929 lol
Happy anniversary! Here's to many more years to come.
Happy anniversary and many more enjoy 😙
So sweet. Congratulations.
Happy anniversary, here's to the next 15 years!
Dankeschön!
Happy anniversary guys!
Oh, you drank König Ludwig Dunkel Bier. You know, the brewery is still owned by Prinz Luitpold of Bavaria. If times are back to normal and you would do a fun excursion visit Castle Kaltenberg, they have the "Kaltenberger Ritterspiele", it is big, it is fun and there is a lot for the kids.
Okay great, thank you for the suggestion!
Just eat 🍔 any way you please! Fingers are just fine.
Congratulations on the anniversary, stay in love...
Herzlichen Glückwunsch nachträglich!
I like the sequence at the end very much. Kevins struggle with the champainbottle and the drinking of the whole bottle at the end. So funny. Btw I love the pictures you take of the flowers.
Glad you enjoyed it! I love all of the flowers around here and just have to get them on camera!
What a lovely composition of sights of the Mosel area and cities and castles. I’m sure you’ve had a great time by yourselves for a change.
❤️ Happy Anniversary to both of you ❤️
Vielen dank!
Happy Anniversary, you guys! Wishing you many, many more years together. Prost and champagne giggles. :)
Dankeschön! Yes to more champagne giggles!
Congratulations!! 🥂
Finally Sunday = finally a new video from you guys! 😃
🎉 Yay! Danke!
A very cute video ♥️
Happy anniversary! It's great that you take the time and celebrate this day - just you two 🥰 I wish you luck for minimum 50 more years in happyness 😊
Thank you so much, Tina!
(5:06) There is a nice story about "Lüftlmalerei": two brothers moved to Oberammergau and bought an empty yard. They were both house painters and as an advertisement for their art they painted their courtyard over and over with colorful scenes of rural religious sagas and stories. Of course, the rich farmers wanted something like that too.
Now you have to know that in rural Bavaria the court name is more important than the actual name. The farm that the two brothers bought was called "Lüftl". So her way of painting was called "Lüftlmalerei". - Cheers, Heinz
Oh wow what a cool story! Is it a legend or is it true?
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife - When I was part of a tourist group a long time ago visiting Oberammergau, Ettal Abbey and the Wieskirche, the story was told by a local guide in Oberammergau.
p.s. When "Lüftlmalerei" began, house painters weren't just simple painters, they also had an academic training as a painter.
Congratulations on your anniversary you lovely kind people! 🥂
Thank you so much, Arno!
Wow that really is the thing of picture postcards. Glad you enjoyed your dunkel bier. The hike looked so green and luscious as well. Just discovered you two (and brood!). Love Germany and looking forward to seeing more of it through your eyes. X
Congratulations on your anniversary! Was a very nice video. Glad to see your happiness together!
Thank you!
Congratz to your anniversary... here is to another 15 years of joy and adventure... thanks for letting us in on your journeys....
Thank you so much!
You’re honestly goals. Lots of love over from London ❤️
London, cool!! Thanks for watching!
Ah you're drinking one of the best Beer I had in Germany - König Ludwig Dunkel. Bavaria is so Picture perfect - miss my time there, loved every minute of it. My love for Germany also started with a trip down the Mosel Valley - I had no interest in Germany but then my father invited me on a trip down the Mosel Valley and I was going WOW every other minute and have loved the place ever since and taken many trips there. - The ending of this video was so cute.
Love that! The Moselle river valley is straight out of a fairytale. And so are many parts of Germany.
Happy anniversary! 🍾
Vielen dank!
You could make a video of the differences between living in france and germany! That would be interesting.
Your videos always cheer me up!
I’m so glad 😍, thank you!
I really love your vids. 🤩
And I love people who know how to enjoy good alcoholic drinks 🍻🥂and are willing to show it. 😅
I love you for that 🥰😊
Ah thank you! We are not American prudes. 🤣
Happy anniversary! 🥂 You really cracked me up at the end! 😂 Btw love Sara’s top at the end, that teal goes so well with her eyes!
Oh thank you so much! That is one of my favorite shirts.
Happy anniversary!
Great video! :)
Dankeschön!
A perfect day! This is an anniversary you will always remember.
Yes it really is!
Happy anniversary 🥳 And nice new classes Kevin 🤓👍🏻
Ahhh you noticed!
You two are so cute.
Happy Anniversary a little late.
Thank you! ❤️
Happy anniversary! ☺😊😊
Danke!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch💐🥂

Haha nice soul patch, Kevin 😆👌
Happy anniversary!
Thank you!
Ihr seid die Süßesten!! Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Hochzeitstag - it´s the Kristallhochzeit - so bringing the crystal is just perfect ;)
Yes! And we didn’t even know that!
Happy anniversary! Great video and channel!
Thank you!
Happy Anniversary Sarah and Kevin 🎉🥂 beautiful video.
Thank you, Claudia!
Happy anniversary to you two beautiful people ! This video couldn't have ended better !
I'm so happy for you that you found a babysitter so you could enjoy some 'just the two of us' time. And of course the video footage was amazingly beautiful as always. I do love the little close ups of blossoms and flowers in between the greater view which show that you are people who really SEE things with your heart and enjoy every little detail around you.
I should certainly stop watching your videos at an empty stomach - they always leave me hungry, dang it.
Hi Grandma K!! Thank you! Haha no more watching our videos on an empty stomach! 🤣 I’m so glad you noticed the flower footage! The flowers here are just gorgeous and I can’t stop filming them!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife and we all benefit from that ! Keep going !
Happy anniversary
Happy Anniversary!

Thank you!
So cute, finishing the bottle 😁
Yes 🤣🥂
happy anniversary!!! greets from
Happy Anniversary! Man, that Gröstl looks amazing - I'm getting hungry just watching that! 😅
It was SO delish! And thank you!
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife Gröstl is when the cook clean up his fridge. ;-) Some potatoes or Knödel, Veggis and Schweinebraten or duck from the day before, roasted together in a pan, put some homemade gravy and a fried egg on top. Taste great and easy to make.
Happy anniversary 🍾
Dankeschön!
Happy anniversary! Amazing video again. I eat burger pretty much the same way, i start out eating it with my hands until everything falls apart...:-D
Okay good to know! Now I won’t feel funny while eating burgers at restaurants in Germany. 😍
Happy anniversary 💗
Thank you so much 😀
Happy Anniversary. The scenery but that beer. Give me. Give me. 😋 The Hamburger,I could almost smell the deliciousness. Servus.Prost. Tschüss.
Happy anniversary.
And it's perfectly ok to eat a burger with you hands.
Germany is so pretty!! I am living vicariously through your videos
Germany is gorgeous!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🍻
Thank you!
Congratulations on your wonderful anniversary. And I assure you, nobody eats a Hamburger more elegantly than you. There cannot be a German way to eat a hamburger any more than there could be an American way to eat a bratwurst. Thank you for sharing.
This is the best comment yet about the hamburger. How apropos! Definitely no right American way to eat a bratwurst. Heck, those crazy people might even try to cook a weißwurst on a grill! 🤪
Congrats!
Such a great video again. Haha, Kevin struggling with the bottle.... could have been me! I never opened one without a fight.
And since I was born and raised in Trier, it is so good to hear that you fell in love with Germany right at the river Mosel!
My best wishes for the next 15 (and more) years to come!
Yes! So cool you live in Trier! We want to take our boys there. They love Roman history.
@@MyMerryMessyGermanLife was born and raised there, actually I live in Kreis Miltenberg (northern Bavaria), but I am homesick and trying to move back to Trier. I am convinced, your boys would be flashed by the amphitheater most! ;)
