I am impressed but the surrounding is very beatiful. The Castle is really nice. ( I call that a micro adventure ) lovely myny greetings Christiane from Berlin 😊😊
Wow.. I used to work there 😅 I would love to see a video of the Castle itself AND a city tour through stuttgart. That's the city I live in. I love your content
Stunning area! I am a Canadian and just adore Germany, travelled there for a month Oct 2019 and the colours on the trees and the farm stands with all the jewel toned squash were to die for!!! thank you for sharing
We were blown away by how many different kinds of pumpkins and gourds that they had on display. It was amazing. We will be visiting different areas in the Black Forest once the leaves start to change and make another video about it. ☺️
So strange seeing this event being featured so fabulously in a YT-Video! I grew up in the district of Ludwigsburg and found the pumpkin fest quite embarassing 🙈 nice to know you can appreciate it so much! 🍂 but yeah fall in Baden-Württemberg is beautiful! 🦔🪵🍃
We're so glad you enjoyed it. We had a really nice time while we were in Ludwigsburg and hope to come back and visit soon. Thanks so much for watching!
oh no! why would it be embarrassing! even as a Hongkonger myself, I love it so much!I wanna go there someday, the pumpkin festival is super lovely❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hahaha…. I liked your American approach towards explaining Schorle 😅 calling it: water mixed with concentrated juice…. :-) Actually my German/Baden-Württemberg explanation would be: (just normal) juice diluted with water 😂 …. Guess, in order to make some savings… be it on the more valuable juice or on calories… 😅😅
I am from Hamburg and lived in Mainz for some years. I also visited the baroque gardens in Ludwigsburg but never heared of the pumpkin 🎃 festival. I researched and learned that in 2000 it took place for the first time, it‘s amazing to see that you can not only rely on old traditions but also can create new ones that make a difference. Thank you for this video, it was educational and beautiful to watch.
Thank you for watching! We are so glad you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed visiting. If you are in the Ludwigsburg area in the fall, we highly recommend it! ❤️
You guys might want to check out the farmers in the region, i grew up in Freiburg and in the area and smaller villages around the city there where often a lot of opportunities to go on fields and pick your stuff, farmers used to do that as a form of direct marketing. Also in the fall there are a lot of Weinfeste and "Hock"s and at those events you might even find a labyrinth. But it should definitely push your fall mood and experience further. Another point is, you might research "Strauße Wirtschaften" as those are a special thing to that southern Schwarzwald region. Farms get a licence to cook and process their homegrown food and sell it just like a restaurant twice a year in spring and fall for a few weeks. Sometimes you end up sitting in a living room with a lot of different people and you are eating what the son and dad brought home from the field and mom and grandma cooked. Like this you can find very authentic food if you havent experienced that before.
Interesting report on the German Pumpkin Festival. A tip to you: drive out into the villages and see regional autumn festivals! When the sun is shining and all the deciduous trees discolour their leaves, that's nice anyway!
Absolutely! The leaves are just starting to turn. I think in a couple of weeks the Black Forest will be quite colorful and we will definitely have to make a video.
@@TypeAshton Great answer and yes, I am looking forward to the pictures of the beeches and oaks whose leaves take on the colors of Indian summer, which you then turn into a wonderful film an ode to the beautiful German autumn.
Hi Black Forest Family. I just found out, that I was on 21st of September last year at the same location. Walked through the same pumpkin exhibition and had the same experience. That was my first visit in Ludwigsburg too. Never been there before, although I am a german native :) and living in Albstadt (Baden-Württemberg too). I´m recently watching your videos, because I find it interesting to see my country through a foreigners eye. Things that are totally normal to oneself, because you grown up with them, can look weird or remarkable to a person who is not accustomed to it. Your Videos are nicely made and entertaining. Greetings
Hi there! Totally! We are going to try to do some looking in the southern black forest too over the next few weeks and see if there are any special events going on. 😊
It is a great place to visit with kiddos and we love seeing others enjoy it as much as we do. I hope our video might have helped them make the most of such a magical place.
If you're having difficulties with the pronounciation of the German U, just think of it as the sound of the double o in Goofy and you got it. ;-) Koochen, not Küchen. :-) Happy you liked the festival. It's really worth going there.
Get yourself a huge orange pumpkin. Cut the flesh into cubes, about 3/4 of an inch long at its edges. Be careful that you cut all of the light-coloured skin off. It is too hard and tasteless.Bring water and vinegar (equal parts) to a boil and pour the mix over the cubes. Let them soaked in the liquid for a day. A plate with a weight on top helps to get the pumpkin cubes down. Next day take the pumpkin cubes out and bring the liquid to a boil again, add preserving sugar and spices like cloves and a little ginger. Put the pumpkin cubes in and let it all boil till the cubes get deep orange and a bit "glassy". Test with a fork when they are soft. Then fill them into sterile jars, pour enough liquid over them to exclude any air and close the lids. Sweet-sour pumpkins of this kind last for some years. They are an excellent side-dish for roasts. We calculate 250 ml of water and 250 ml of vinegar plus 750 g of sugar per one kg of pumpkin flesh.
That sounds AMAZING. Thank you so much for sharing your process. My grandmother was an avid gardener and I remember her canning pumpkins, beets and other delicious treats from her yearly harvest.
The Americans brought the pumpkin tradition with them, but the local ones also know what to offer. But there is a difference, real Germans don't have Halloween, that is Reformation Day in memory of Martin Luther.
Ok, the "Little Red Riding Hood" translation was a bit awkward! 😀 Pumpkin pie: My first thought when I saw the picture, this looks like pumpkin cheesecake too! 😀
You mentioned that many more Americans attended the Pumpkin Festival. At least one was the TH-camr "Nalf", an American football player who lives in Schwäbisch Hall.
Interesting. Never seen pumpkin pie in Germany before. I usually have to make it myself. How was it „spiced“? There are corn mazes in many places in Germany.
Us too! When we saw "American Pie" on the menu we surely had to give it a shot. The pie we tasted was more "light" on the spices, compared to a traditional pumpkin pie and the texture was drier. Not bad overall. Do you ever shop at myamericanmarket.com ? This time of year they always have the staples to make an American pie (albeit with a significant markup). But it is good in a pinch if you don't have a specific ingredient on hand.
Self made pumpkin soup is one of the best soups for cold and rainy evenings! Btw. at 6:36 the kid says "entsetzlich" (horrific) and not "tatsächlich" (really). Hard to hear the difference due to the audio quality. And it continues with "Damit ich dich besser fressen kann!" (So I can eat you better!). ;) PS.: Just came back from a short trip to Wolfach / Bad Schrapenau in the Black Forest. Five days hiking with my wife and our dog. We stayed in one of the many old Schwarzwald farms with cats, dogs, chickens, deers, donkeys, horses, ... :)
Oh my goodness. 😆 So I may have listened to that clip an embarrassing number of times trying my best to translate it (when I am still learning German myself). Hahaha I just knew I would make a mistake somewhere. Thanks for letting me know. And awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the Black Forest. There are so many beautiful places to visit, I don't think we will ever run out of material.
Exactly, it is a different country and therefore it is a different experience. so, if you don't like it just go back to America or just put up with it.
We didn't get the change to partake in the swing since Jack is too little BUT I am sure we will visit again and again for many years to come. There's so much to enjoy as the kids get older. 😊
On my vue: US has not to define the worldwide standard of pumpkin pies. The use of pumpkins in german (european) cuisine is some kind of a creolisation of cultures as we did it with potatos, chilies ...
Hi there! Totally! Since living in Germany we've had the pleasure of tasting so many different recipes that use Pumpkins. It has been such a fun journey trying new foods. But in this particular instance, the pie was advertised by the chef as "American Pie" so we thought we should give it a go and taste test for comparison. Hope you enjoyed the video and thanks so much for sharing your experiences. Cheers! ❤️
Okay waaaait, what is the pumpkin festival?😂😂 Is it something like halloween? I think it is just not existing in Nordrhein-Westfalen😂 Warte waaaaaas, was ist das Kürbis Festival?? Ist das sowas wie Halloween? Ich glaube es existiert in Nordrhein-Westfalen einfach nicht😂😂
In den Vereinigten Staaten ist es eine Herbsttradition, sich auf Thanksgiving und Halloween vorzubereiten. Ich hoffe, wir finden nächstes Jahr mehr davon in Deutschland.
Hi There! Yeah he's a pretty lean guy, but that's pretty typical for cyclists. Although he doesn't compete in as many international elite cycling races as he used to (thanks to dad-duty), he still does a lot of ride testing for his job. 😉 We're pretty proud of him. He works really hard. ❤️ th-cam.com/video/1wT39U6DFkE/w-d-xo.html
I still enjoy going to the BlüBa from time to time. It's a fond memory of childhood and it hasn't changed really.
I am impressed but the surrounding is very beatiful. The Castle is really nice. ( I call that a micro adventure ) lovely myny greetings Christiane from Berlin 😊😊
Haha! Love this! And now i have something new to explore on a weekend break!
Good job
Thank you so much for all of your very beautiful videos. 👍

For me personally, this episode was just perfect. 10/10 👍
Thank you! We're still new to this and we really appreciate you and your comment. Thanks for watching!
This festival is like: You wanted pumpkins?
You GET pumpkins!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Right?! It was amazing!
Not ashamed to admit that we (in our mid twenties) also quite enjoyed the fairytale park. It's memory lane from childhood
Germany doesn't cease to surprise with each day, isn't it? 😉
Had no idea the fest was that extensive! My daughter and I love Fall and everything pumpkin related so I really want to come to this one too 🧡🍁
You really should visit - this year's theme is especially playful for little ones. Such a great time!
Awesome job, AJ&J! Thanks for the ride-along!
OH, The place is stunning. Amazing pumpkin festival. Love your videos

Now I know why the Great Pumpkin never visited Charlie Brown, he got stuck in Ludwigsburg....

Oh you were in my town - hope you have (had) a fun day greetings from a Ludwigsburgerin
We had a great time! Your hometown is absolutely stunning. ❤️❤️❤️
The Americans brought the pumpkin tradition with them, but the local ones also know what to offer.
But there is a difference, real Germans don't have Halloween, that is Reformation Day in memory of Martin Luther.
As a Catholic, I cannot agree with that. Are only Protestants real Germans? 2020: 27 % Catholics , 25 % Protestants
Did you get to see the world record pumpkin which weighs more than 750 kilograms? It was on display there for a couple of days.
YES it was SO amazing to see. I can only imagine the care it took to load it onto a truck and bring it to Ludwigsburg. What a great festival.
Pumpkin Spielplatz! ;)
Ok, the "Little Red Riding Hood" translation was a bit awkward! 😀
Pumpkin pie: My first thought when I saw the picture, this looks like pumpkin cheesecake too! 😀

Americans are not the standard measure of things, like other countries are allowed to have their own varieties and ways of making food and stuff XD
