YOU CAME TO MY TOWN!!! SQUEEEE!!! Thank you for coming to Leavenworth! All commercial buildings in Leavenworth must decorate the outside of their buildings in the "Bavarian" style. It is town code. Both pears and apples are grown in our area. There are cideries that make cider from the pears and apples. Thank you for encouraging people to visit during the week and not the weekend.
we stayed in leavenworth for a month every summer when i was growing up, so sad Homefires Bakery shutdown. Loved their swiss cheese and dill bread. My friend Jim Jack was quite the character living in Leavenworth, a ski fanatic, passed in an avalanche, taken so young, RIP
Washington grows a lot of products! We are the top producers of Apples, Pears, Cherries, as well as Hops. We also grow a tremendous amount of grapes. Thus, we have a lot of local cideries, wineries and breweries! Central Washington is just covered in orchards of all kinds. It's quite wonderful, especially in the summer. Lots of u-pick places.
The fish hatchery has guided snowshoeing tours with free snowshoes. Fun, educational and free. With all the apples and pears they make incredible European style ciders. There are pubs that specialize in serving multiple brands. One had more than 20 to choose from. The quirkiest thing we found was a reindeer farm. Not for eating, just petting and learning about.
This looked like sooo much fun. Did anyone check on that kid @ 12:16 to see if he survived the ride? That was so funny in slo-mo (LOL). Hope he was okay. Thank you for sharing.
As a Washingtonian it was so fun to see you enjoying the fun town of Leavenworth! Also, there is so much natural beauty and fun things to do in the warmer months.
Good to know if I ever want German food in Georgia! Leavenworth is famous for being a Christmas town though. It wouldn’t be as “Christmasy” without all the snow. They have a huge Christmas festival every December and Christmas and Santa themed stores that are open year round. They also have the second largest Octoberfest in the world. Book your room way in advance if you ever decide to go. The restaurants have beer gardens and Oompa bands year round if you want to go in the off season to avoid the crowds but still get that experience, but I’m sure they have that in Georgia too.
I used to live a couple towns over in Cle Elum used to go to Leavenworth all the time. Great little town love it camp there a lot had some great times.
Took me a second to realize, why our terms "Ausfahrt and Einfahrt" amuses you so much ;-) Nice one, never thougth about the different meanings/translations of our "Fahrts" 😀
dear Allison & Eric! I was so happy to hear you speak in German. what a start to the video, thank you! Wow so pretty there. Thank you for sharing! Kind regards from the Bavarian Alps. 💛🏔
Leavenworth was a wonderful choice. Something magical that only we have here. I really hope that you can come back in the summer and explore the Olympic Peninsula and the San Juan Islands. All magical nature and quaint little towns that you can't find anywhere else!
Hello Allison and Eric. That looked great. The before pictures were like I remember the buildings in Butte, Montana, when I passed through in snow on a similar trip to yours, many years back. I used to do that sledging on snow down a hill at school, here in northern England, but on a plastic bag, as it had to fit in my school bag. We have not had so much recently, but snow is forecast. My girlfriend's relatives in Austria, in similar surroundings to yours, say they have had enough of the cold there this winter.
You know when you were over in Leelanau County in Michigan., you passed orchards of apples, cherries, plums, grapes,peaches, strawberries, raspberries, beans, to name a few. There were grape vineyards all over as well, not to mention many wineries. That aerial view of a vineyard was very much like the ones along M72 and Leelanau County. There are wine tours! Also, they get snow just like that! A lot more snow!
it was built as a "bavarian" theme attraction in the 1960s. all the of the ppl consist of families in station wagons, minivans, and SUVs from seattle driving an hour for a movie set experience
Yes, I don't live too far away so we stop by often. It may not have the same Bavarian style Alps like Leavenworth, but it was settled in the 1800s by real Bavarians!
Nice job on Leavenworth, it is a touristy place, but the views and mountains are incredible and it's worth of a visit.....Did you get a chance to tour the Applets & Cotlets factory in Cashmere WA?
Great town, and you picked the least busy season too. October(fest) through Christmas it's so packed you should park out of town and take a shuttle in. It's busy all summer too due to other outdoor attractions (lake wenatchee, hiking, wineries, camping) but not quite as packed.
Eric after the initial snowshoe skit I have determined who your spirit animal actually is. George McFly !!! Lol. All in fun. Great video guys that town looked amazing and that platter of meat looked even better. Safe Travels Amigos 👊
Love Leavenworth, as Washington local my fav shops are Hat shop and Salt Water Taffy. The smell of fresh made waffle cones as you walk down the sidewalk is the best! Lots of cool shops to explore too.
Leavenworth is awesome all year long. Snow and lights in the winter, apple trees blooming in the spring, pretty and hot and sometimes smoky summers and beautiful orange and gold fall
Oh man! What a cute wee town! That plate of food looked to die for! Not so sure that I’d want to share!😂 Think Eric had a bit of a beer buzz on after his stein of beer!🤪 Great vid as always guys!👍❤️👏👏👏
Good afternoon Allison and Eric can’t you went over the hill and landed in Germany bizarre but I love a good wurst and beer and a great tubing hill last time my husband pushed me in the tube he pushed me over a cliff oh well stay safe have fun 😘☕️🍺☃️☃️
We love visiting that little town, also they have a live Webcam in the center and we watch it every winter. it’s picture,postcard, perfect with the snow and all the wonderful Christmas lights.
My girlfriends and I are going in early January so this video is perfect! Thanks for the amazing fun video and looking forward to visiting Leavenworth!
I've been following you both for the last 2 hrs. I was born in Ellensburg 76 years ago, grew up in Cle Elum Seattle and Yakima Wash. Bought a Sprinter 2 months ago and planning a trip to Wn. in the spring. Live in Phoenix Arizona for 45 plus years, time to get out of the valley once it hits 110 degrees and venture north instead of Calif. Thank you for sharing your experiences and sharing Ellensburg with me. Spent several weeks in Germany a few years back and really had no idea about the German history, of Ellensburg. Very excited to return to Wash. and reminisce.Thank you for the video.
I've been there as a kid and to the surrounding orchards, picking fruits and veggies with my family. Cute looking town. Although, now I live in the southeast, not as beautiful, lol.
I enjoyed this. I'm from Texas and when I experienced the mountains around leavenworth, I stood in awe. I had never seen anything like that. Thanks for the tease. ❤
I've been to Leavenworth a handful of times. Such a nice little town. Had a few band performances in the Gazebo and a few family winter trips. Brings back a lot of great memories. ❤
I grew up in Washington State. I love Leavenworth, it’s one of my favorite towns. Not sure if they still do tours, but the “Aplets & Cotlets” factory nearby was always one of my favorite stops. In the summertime “Ohme Gardens” is lovely to stroll through!
Lots of folks who hike the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) pass through the town and speak highly of it. Would be a great stop while touring Washington. Great place for apples and pears. Another great day spent with you two.
I knew you were heading to Leavenworth when you hinted in your last video! We used to live in WA and I always loved visiting Leavenworth. I still have my Munchen Haus t-shirt. It’s beautiful in the summer too.
What Beautiful Town ( the Ausfahrt and Einfahrt ) always amuse those 😂 not familiar with its Caught quite a few Yt creators out while traveling. Through Germany/ Austria and they were asking the Same as Alison. Living in Europe / Travel you get use to it . Thank you for taking us a long on a very Cold Snow day 😊 looking forward to where your adventures will take you Next 😜Safe travels 🥰
I live in the region and visit Leavenworth during the warmer months to ride the mountain bike trails on the north edge of town in the vicinity of Leavenworth Ski Hill. It's a beautiful town and very scenic area. I enjoy following your travels.
That's basically my backyard, I live just outside Wenatchee, it was cool to see you guys enjoying "my neighborhood " lol glad you loved it!❤
I live on the Long Beach Peninsula. I have enjoyed living in Edmonds, and Olympia.
Can’t think of Wenatchee without remembering the Wenatchee Youth Circus.
From Spokane myself and love visiting there too! I actually emailed Eric a couple years ago to convince them to come to this area.
Kara and Nate rode just past our place when they did their cross country bike trip not too long ago and I was so excited 😂
Hahaha I came here to say the same thing. So strange to see them in such a familiar place! 😂💜
YOU CAME TO MY TOWN!!! SQUEEEE!!!
Thank you for coming to Leavenworth!
All commercial buildings in Leavenworth must decorate the outside of their buildings in the "Bavarian" style. It is town code.

So cute! Nice and close to Canada too
@@jj-if6it We have lots of Canadian visitors that visit all year long. We are a few hours south of Penticton.
Washington grows a lot of products! We are the top producers of Apples, Pears, Cherries, as well as Hops. We also grow a tremendous amount of grapes. Thus, we have a lot of local cideries, wineries and breweries! Central Washington is just covered in orchards of all kinds. It's quite wonderful, especially in the summer. Lots of u-pick places.
I was envisioning Eric twisting his ankle again when he first tried to stand up in those snow shoes. 😂 Cute little town. 😊
Haha! I was so sure he was going to break everything on that hike 🙈
The fish hatchery has guided snowshoeing tours with free snowshoes. Fun, educational and free.
With all the apples and pears they make incredible European style ciders. There are pubs that specialize in serving multiple brands. One had more than 20 to choose from.
The quirkiest thing we found was a reindeer farm. Not for eating, just petting and learning about.
Pear cider is called Perry.
We love you two! Wherever you go you make it look fun. 😊
8:55 perfect impression of that Elmo with the fire meme :D
This looked like sooo much fun. Did anyone check on that kid @ 12:16 to see if he survived the ride? That was so funny in slo-mo (LOL).
Hope he was okay.
Thank you for sharing.
We must have watched that clip back 10 times 🤣 (and we promise he was totally fine afterwards, haha!)
The history of the town and how the German style came to is fascinating. It’s beautiful during Christmas
As a Washingtonian it was so fun to see you enjoying the fun town of Leavenworth! Also, there is so much natural beauty and fun things to do in the warmer months.
New videos are always a highlight of the week.
If you want another German village right here in the USA, you gotta go to Helen, Georgia…..a great little hamlet in the northeast Georgia mountains.
Eric's goofiness is very endearing
I am so excited to go visit and this was a super informative video despite the heavy levels of Millennial cringe.
Helen, Georgia also has a cute, quaint German town feel & look plus it's a lot warmer. You two make me smile with all the fun you have ❤
Good to know if I ever want German food in Georgia! Leavenworth is famous for being a Christmas town though. It wouldn’t be as “Christmasy” without all the snow.

@@craigcampbell1843 Helen, GA definitely celebrates October fest. All the German food is so good here, though I'd love to experience the real Germany
@@pippilongstocking-qs7fm Leavenworth is as close as you can get without a passport but it sounds like Helen might be a close second.
I was just there in Helen last Spring, nice little German town
That's good to know! I will say in the summertime, Leavenworth does get quite hot.
Alison in Wunderlaaand :), Also, btw she holds the ice late with a glove in the other hand than the one she holds the drink. Just numero uno
I used to live a couple towns over in Cle Elum used to go to Leavenworth all the time. Great little town love it camp there a lot had some great times.

Ya, it's always given us a good little chuckle 🤣
dear Allison & Eric! I was so happy to hear you speak in German. what a start to the video, thank you! Wow so pretty there. Thank you for sharing! Kind regards from the Bavarian Alps. 💛🏔
Danke! This definitely made us miss Germany a lot...hopefully we can come visit again soon 😍
Leavenworth was a wonderful choice. Something magical that only we have here. I really hope that you can come back in the summer and explore the Olympic Peninsula and the San Juan Islands. All magical nature and quaint little towns that you can't find anywhere else!
Man i grew up going between Washington and Alaska. I live in England now and your videos are really making me miss home LOL
You guys are always freaking hilarious love it😂❤
Solvang, California is also a wonderful town with tons of restaurants themed as Danish.
We live in Southern California and so have gone many times! P.S. Sad about Andersons Pea Soup closing. 😢
@@jojoinrancho320 I have moved but I grew up in California and also went many times. Beautiful town.

Beats the penitentiary in that other Leavenworth! Cool video!
That plate looked delicious! Schweinshaxe is one of my favorite things in the world.
And that fire shot...so good. 👌😂

The buildings back then amaze me, all of the ppl that walked through or inhabited them over all this time. Thanks for another great video
it was built as a "bavarian" theme attraction in the 1960s. all the of the ppl consist of families in station wagons, minivans, and SUVs from seattle driving an hour for a movie set experience
I used to go every single year during college for Oktoberfest. One of my favorite places in the state.
That was an interesting way to eat German food.
There’s also a charming Bavarian town in MI called Frankenmuth. Known for having the world’s largest Christmas store.
Yes, I don't live too far away so we stop by often. It may not have the same Bavarian style Alps like Leavenworth, but it was settled in the 1800s by real Bavarians!
Bronner’s!
Snowy charm! Lenworth's Bavarian theme is captivating. Loved the winery adventure. Cheers to magical winter vibes!
Nice job on Leavenworth, it is a touristy place, but the views and mountains are incredible and it's worth of a visit.....Did you get a chance to tour the Applets & Cotlets factory in Cashmere WA?
When we were kids visiting family there, the snow would get so deep it would be like top,less tunnels all around town!
I love Leavenworth in the winter time. It's so magical.
Great town, and you picked the least busy season too. October(fest) through Christmas it's so packed you should park out of town and take a shuttle in. It's busy all summer too due to other outdoor attractions (lake wenatchee, hiking, wineries, camping) but not quite as packed.

Never heard of that place! Incredible.
Your face as soon as you bit into that pork said it all. That dinner really looked fantastic.
I be love this. I’ve never been to Leavenworth during the winter. We always went in the summer when it was 100 degrees.
what an awesome trip who knew you didn't have to travel to Germany for good sausage and beer the snow walk looked stunning love the winery
Fun video!
followed you for 5 years allways worth watching,when my son studied in paris we went to the childrens market on your recommendation not disapointed
So happy to have you adventuring with us for so long! And we love that we could give you a fun recommendation 🙌
Leavenworth is a beautiful town. See you next time ⏲️ adventurers 😊❤.
Thanks you two that meal looked good.
Nicely done! We will be in Richland WA this summer and because of you two we may just make a day trip to Leavenworth! Thanks guys! 🍺🍺
We hope you do! We imagine it'll be even more perfect in the summertime. 🙌 Either way, hope you have a blast in Washington!
Love Leavenworth, as Washington local my fav shops are Hat shop and Salt Water Taffy. The smell of fresh made waffle cones as you walk down the sidewalk is the best! Lots of cool shops to explore too.
3:15 oh my goodness! I NEED that sandwich!
Only you guys could find a christmas winter wonderland in the pacific northwest in February. I love it.
🤣 We absolutely love finding all these cool places! The US just keeps blowing us away!
This is really a spectacular little village! Thanks for adventuring there! 🙂
I live right below there. I live in Ellensburg. Going to college right now
Leavenworth is awesome all year long. Snow and lights in the winter, apple trees blooming in the spring, pretty and hot and sometimes smoky summers and beautiful orange and gold fall
Oh man! What a cute wee town!

Think Eric had a bit of a beer buzz on after his stein of beer!🤪
Great vid as always guys!👍❤️👏👏👏
Reminds me of Helen GA.
As an Australian I hardly ever get to see snow, so this is like a winter wonderland to me!
What a great place! Make me think of cross country skiing ⛷️ back in my younger/more mobile days. Such a interesting town.
Nice air on that sled hill! 😅
Wish you guys had done the Alpine Coaster!
So many beautiful places to see in Washington State.
Good afternoon Allison and Eric can’t you went over the hill and landed in Germany bizarre but I love a good wurst and beer and a great tubing hill last time my husband pushed me in the tube he pushed me over a cliff oh well stay safe have fun 😘☕️🍺☃️☃️
I love Leavenworth!
Well, you certainly earned those cake/pie/tart things with that trek 😂
🇿🇦♥️♥️

Now, that, was a whole lot of fun. So pleased for you both that you could put your past sadness and stress aside for a while and enjoy Leavenworth ❤ ❤
Will be going back again this summer - thanks for the refresher!
This is where my wife and I honeymooned. Spent many of nights hiking and camping in those mountains also.
I enjoyed this. I'm from Texas and when I experienced the mountains around leavenworth, I stood in awe. I had never seen anything like that. Thanks for the tease. ❤
I wish you had been during summer. The smell of pine is amazing.❤. Beautiful town.
Hi guys, I just love you guys and your channel. Always makes me smile and NO DRAMA, just fun, usual daily stuff. Take care!
Thanks for the tour! I will add Leavenworth to my Amtrak adventure!
I too grew up nearby Leavenworth and it's always been one of my fave destinations. The nearby town of Wenatchee is spectacular year round as well.
I've been to Leavenworth a handful of times. Such a nice little town. Had a few band performances in the Gazebo and a few family winter trips. Brings back a lot of great memories. ❤
Even though it is a bit expensive to go very often, I love making the trek to Leavenworth. We love getting the bratwurst, for sure.

Cue the sausage jokes!
I went to leavnworth in August for my birthday. Still magical in the summer. ❤

You both should come to Western Washington during the summer. Lots of water, trees, and festivals.
My grandparents lived in Wenatchee and I know this area well. It's a favorite of mine. Just wish I were there to share it with you guys.
Great Video folks !
Looks like a really unique and beautiful place to be
Your in my area of the country and Christmas in Leavenworth is amazing!! Horse drawn sleighs, carolers, just so much!!
Awesome! That looks amazing! On our list!! 💗
