*Last 3 early bird spots on our tour to Patagonia! Wanna join us?!* 😊✈ trips.trovatrip.com/trips/argentina-with-samuel-&-audrey-feb-2023
I like the fact that you cover lesser known towns in different European countries, not just the main tourist hotspots.
We're glad to hear you've also been enjoying these lesser-known destinations! We've definitely been drawn to smaller towns over bigger cities in recent years.
@@samuelandaudrey by the way you're Argentina Buenos Aires videos really got me to dive deep into Argentine cuisine and culture. The fugazettas, empanadas, mate, steaks, the European influenced architecture, etc... Just thought I'd add that.
Upon our return to Deutschland , the plan for Harriet and I is to visit Lake Constance with a good friend that lives in Munchen sometime in late Spring of 2023. You've given us so many great ideas
from this video. Audery, you are such a wonderful Storyteller . Thank you so much for the wonderful tour. Sending you much love .🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Springtime sounds like a wonderful time to visit. I hope you'll get lots of sunshine and spring blooms on your trip! Thanks for watching Jim & Harriet. I hope Yuki is doing great and bringing lots of joy! 😊🌸🌼
We live in Winterthur Zurich Switzerland, and we Loooove Konstanz. We always go there for shopping, groceries (much less expensive then CH) and for the great restaurants.. The Bodensee is Amazing. We've been in so many cities, you both need to come back to visit Meersburg, and Mainau Insel. Two amazing destinations. Congratulations for the great video Samuel and Audrey.
Oh, that's so cool! So Lake Constance is your very own backyard. Meersburg is actually one of the places that caught our eye on the ferry ride across the Lake. It looked amazing! I feel like we could easily spend a week taking the ferry from one town to the next! 😊✨
@@samuelandaudrey The Pfahlbauten in Unteruhldingen (near Meersburg) is an open-air museum about the Stone and Bronze Age settlements at Lake Constance. At the harbour, go to the Seehof Restaurant! In the same village there is the Auto&Traktor Museum - very interesting and with a good restaurant.
Great video! I know the Eastern end of the lake quite well, as my grandmother came from Lindau. I don't care what anyone says, it really is the one of the most spectacular places on Earth! Best regards from Perth, Western Australia.
I lived in Konstanz and was born close to Lindau and I love seeing people loving the area that I tend to find quite boring yet pretty 😄😍
😂 Can you recommend any of your favorite hotels and restaurants in/around Konstanz? We are planning to drive by in two months
My Home! Greetings from Radolfzell🙋♂
Very cool! Greetings Arno. We really enjoyed our short visit to Radolfzell!
Well done. And good report of this beautiful region. I knew these places quite well.
and ... very good choice taking the bike.
I had the car last trip and it doesn't work well, because of difficult parking situation everywhere.
so sad you had such a uninviting weather.
hope you can come back to Bodensee at better sun&temperatures
so sad you missed to stop by at Meersburg. It's definitely the best spot at the lake, believe me.
Thank you for this video! You just solved a years-long family dilemma. :D Pre-pan we started learning German as a family so we could take a trip, but we could never decide exactly where to go. As a once in a lifetime sort of trip, without unlimited funds or time, we weren't sure if we should go to Germany, Austria, or Switzerland and how to navigate all of the travel and lose minimal time. Enter you two with the answer! Why not have it all in 1 place? It looks so charming and beautiful, we now all agree on where we want to go and are very excited to plan it together! Vielen Dank!
minuto 10:40...la cara de la señora atrás, jajajaja
Así es cada vez que sacamos la cámara... 😅
5:05 The red onions come from the Höri, a „peninsula“ with Gaienhofen at the centre. They are called „Bülle“.
Try the fish soup in „Grüner Baum“ in Moos!!!
as a resident since 75 years i must say that you couldn't have done better. You got even the architectual styles perfectly right, better than most of te people living here. The only mistakes were that you didn´t take enough time, missed the Reichenau with the churches of the 10th century and neglected the red wine which is fine too. ❤
Meersburg is one of our favorites.
Flower island is the most beautiful place on lake Constance
Enjoyed, nice secenery good food.
Thanx for the video. I had travel to Radolfzell in 2012. Its a nice place...
I follow your channel from the city of Jerusalem, Palestine. I love your channel and the way you present it
Our best friends live in Radolfzell. We spent a week there in May
Those boards are actually sandwich /Butterbrot boards. My opa always used them
Also you should visit Unteruhldingen and visit the prehistoric dwelling museum. A visit to Friedrichshafen is also nice to visit the Zeppelin museum. Bregenz in Austria is beautiful with it floating stage and Rheinfalls in Switzerland is beautiful
Greetings from Radolfzell🙋♂
Don´t forget the Reichenau Island if you like History and old Churches
Hola Audrey y Samuel.
Hermosos lugares me hacen conocer, gracias.
Cuando vuelven a la propiedad en Córdoba, ojalá pueda ser unos de los primeros pasajeros junto a mi esposa en conocer el hotel.
Saludos desde Córdoba Edgardo 🍷
Lindo lugar tranquilo y agradable buen picnic!
Thank you Audrey and Sam , enjoyed this trip with you and the food always looks so good 😊
Thanks for watching, Monica. Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Hermoso, gracias excelente video felicitaciones, un abrazo, desde Bucaramanga, Colombia.
Great video. Lovely couple!
What a sweet video!
All the best
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
Marvelous civilization.
Very interesting
I'm disabled but I can do riding a bicycle so i wish to be there! Kisses for you both from Soriano, Uruguay
que bellos dias, preciosos paisajes y pueblos! desde luego que provoca salir ya a pasearse por alli
Gracias Ursula. Fue un lindo paseo. Saludos!
Kudos to Sam, taking one for the team and carrying the heavy picnic backpack, it looked delicious! Would love to go there in the future!
Very nice video, guys, despite the weather. You're gonna think I'm a museum bug, but YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO Friedrichshafen, where COUNT VON ZEPPELIN had his workshop where he built all those incredibie dirigible TURN INTO A MUSEUM. It's only 32 minutes away by train from Lindau's train station (26 km).
Friedrichshafen: Zeppelin, Maybach (now MTU), Wankel (the Motor), Porsche (the Traktor), Dornier (famous seaplanes) 🙋♂
I wish we'd had more time because the zeppelin museum would have been a really cool stop! I've always been fascinated by footage of the Trans-Atlantic zeppelin journeys from Europe to South America. What a time to travel that was!
Me encanta cuando andan x Europa, que lugares divinos, los pueblitos centenarios, la comida y la historia de esos lugares, Una belleza, saludos 👋 Happy New Year 🙋 🎊🌟💚
Thank you for the VDO. It's professionally made with comprehensive info. I have been looking for travel vdo for this area, and your is the best.
Wow, such a nice picnic meal, yum! And a pretty place to visit. We haven't done any travel after Covid but I recently have done a lot of one day travel.
First video of yours we watched. We are hooked. You’re traveling is exactly how we like to travel! Scenery, touring, and food! Great job capturing all of that - even with the rain! Felt like I was there. Your visit to the vineyard was 10/10! Well done! Looking forward to watching the other videos!
That looked fantastic. I agree, where do you get those backpacks???? My Bagging of the Scottish Munros will be made easier with that excellent accessory. It amazes me, you would never think of visiting a region, but the beauty and diversity is amazing.
Hello, two of you I so enjoy watching these vlogs with great foods and nice old-style buildings.
Glad you're enjoying our Germany videos, Michael!. Thanks for watching.
Great Video! We’ve been in Lindau many times and love the Bodensee and all it has to offer. 👍
I would love to visit there. Looks amazing.
Muy lindo recorrido Felicitaciones 👏 👍 😊 🇦🇷💕
Ahora los veo estoy disfrutando del ultimo video en vuestro canal español
Llegó la Familia de Visita 👶💕 + Otoño en las Montañas Rocosas en Alberta, Canadá
que por cierto esta muy interesante como siempre
QUÉ PICNIC!! 😁 NO SE PRIVAN DE NADA, Excelente!!
AAAA; I was living there 5 years ago, amazing place and amazing nature :)
Greetings from Radolfzell 🙋♂
Oooh, Lake Constance is definitely on my list to visit now! Enjoyed the video~ So many lovely towns!
Hola chicos, maravilloso el lugar, lindos paisajes, hermoso gracias por compartir el recorrido, saludos desde Lima Perú
Hello from eastern Europe , Türkiye🇹🇷⭐🇹🇷🌟❤️
I really enjoy this little visit of this corner of Germany! I have loads of time in Germany but never to this side so I’m definitely keeping this in mind for next time I travel to Germany. Long overdue trip
Thank you both for sharing this adventure
Sabrina 🇫🇷🇬🇧
All those vegetables looks delicious. I think they really need a try to enjoy all those flavors
Caminar y bicicletear es muy buen ejercicio para bajar tanta comida 😅
Si yo comiera al nivel de ustedes ya estaría rodando como un tonel
Cheers and have a nice good time
What a great video about a really great vacation spot!! Cheers from Canada!! 😃
What a charming place ❤
It sure was! We've been gravitating to quieter towns over bigger cities more and more. 😊
Beautiful places, nice scenenary. Nice video. Great info. Thanks and take care.
Glad you enjoyed it, Karen!
What a beautiful place!
This looked like a delicious day! The cakes on the boat looked amazing!
Great video, loved all the food, it looked delicious. The picnic at the winery was simply amazing, they did think of it all, didn't they?! Thank you for taking us along!
They really did! Best packed picnic ever!!
Amazing guys. 3 countries all around one lake! I loved your vineyard picnic trail, all by yourselves, no guide, at your pace. This is the type of tour I prefer. The cheese all covered by spices and FLOWERS!!! The orchard landscape, so saxon perfect 👌
Pretty cool, right?! You could do a mini European tour without ever leaving the lake!
@@samuelandaudrey Exactly! At least you get a quick glimpse of all 3 countries.
Greate vid 👍
Thanks for watching, Michael!
Hey there Andrey and Samuel! Beautiful sights and delicious food!💕
Espectacular !
We're on the Austria side 12 years ago and the German side July 2022. Being able to see all 3 countries is memorable experience. Seeing Bodensee from Italy and Austria gives you different perspectives - and food experience.
Great content. Germany, even in that area, has some excellent light reds including Pinot noir which they call Spatburgunder.
OMG, I live in Kreuzlingen and I missed the opportunity to meet you guys when you were here.....damn! ^^ Maybe next time.
Hi Audrey&Samuel 👋
I've been a subscriber for so long, after watching this episode i decided to go back to episode 1 of 10 years ago,wanting to get a little idea on how you started your vlog. Must say wow what an improvement on your first video's 👏.I have now decided to leave those video's and just enjoy your content you are producing now. Doing such a beautiful job you two ❤ Love your channel and cannot wait for the next upload. 😊
Oh wow, those videos would be a blast from the past! Crazy to think we've been on CZcams for a decade. Thanks for watching Elize!
Hey I was at these same spots some 20 something years ago. Beautiful area to hang out in to enjoy the nature and nice German towns. Right now I'm in Riga, Latvia doing some work and visiting friends who moved here from my home town. Today we visited their house that they are refurbishing and it reminded me of the work you two are doing in Argentina. Anyways have fun in Austria and I can't wait for the next video.
Welcome! 💐
I've gone 2 times around the lake with bicycle, it's a wonderfull trip. Used a company called Radweg Reisen, booked a tour where one rented the bike, hotels were arranged, including transport of bags and more you could not fit on the bike. 4-5days
So lovely!
Is that part of one of the Caminos de Compostela? I saw one sign that said something about “2,400 Km nach Camino de Compostela” with the oyster’s sign.
Enjoy guys! What an amazing enchanting trip. 👍💕
right 👍
Thk u for a personalised tour of lake Constance n of d bike! I wish you had given a rough estimate of each meal though. I enjoyed your thorough details
That’s so cool, I live in Konstanz 😻
The Bodensee is still a place that I have to discover and I'm German.
I Love Bodensee👍👍👍👍👍
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Ich lebe in Konstanz und liebe es hier zu leben!
This video was so calm and relaxing. Rain usually sucks when traveling but it seemed refreshing somehow in your video. I was wondering though did you guys mention why you went back to Germany? I love some of the lesser known places. Equally beautiful without the crowds!
Great to see you guys in my part of the world! :)
Too bad you had rainy weather.
Don't tell me you didn't take the cable car to the Pfänder mountain?
Ahhh, we did not! Did we miss out? I bet the views are amazing...though then again, we had A LOT of rain!! 😅
@@samuelandaudrey the views are fantastic from the top of Pfänder mountain above Bregenz - at least on a sunny day ;-) There is a cable car up there but you can also hike up to the top.
You can see about 240 alpine peaks and have a great view over Lake Constance. Bregenz is also known for wonderful sunsets.
I think you have to come back! ;-)
I totally agree with frisco1968, you should come back, hopefully with better weather, to explore the Austrian and Swiss side of Lake Constance! I'll have to send you photos from the Pfaender mountain overlooking the Lake and the surrounding mountains and valleys in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. There's a lot to explore. Looking forward to your next adventures!
We (a German couple) visited Lake Constance (or as we say the Bodensee) this year in July. At this time it was very warm with temperatures between 30 and 37 degrees Celsius. But the lake was amazing in summer. We stayed in a small hotel called "Boutique Hotel Drei Stuben" just in the centre of the lovely town Meersburg. It was very nice and charming. As you said in the video. There are so many nice places to discover. For your next time, set the Island Mainau on your list. It is a MUST!
Love your vlogs, I am so curious to hear Audrey actually speak German on a vlog. Please show us German vlog fans your skills
Next time you gotta go to Café Antik! It is by far the best place for food in the area.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Me encantó ese video muestran paisajes hermosos y diferentes comida porque en ese vídeo no hablaron en español como hacen los videos con tu padre porque habemos personas que no hablamos inglés gracias y bendiciones👼🙏❤ desde Colombia
I'm from Lake Constance region and I'm so happy people are starting to notice our region. We are very proud of our regional and fresh goods and what we have to offer. I hope more people will boast our tourism section without losing the authenticity
Hello, what villages would you recommend to stay in around the lake? I'm looking to bike 50 KMS a day and know nothing about that beautiful lake. I'm hoping to stay in small villages. Thanks for any help you can provide.All the best
@@SloMo2723 the prettiest towns I can think of would be Meersburg and Langenargen, while more interesting cities would be Friedrichshafen, Bregenz and Konstanz. Throughout the entire lake you'll find lovely little towns though!
@@SuperMyslayer Thank you for the Information. I am spending a night in Meersburg. I'm so excited to be biking Lake Constance. Blessings to you my friend
@@SloMo2723 hope you enjoy it! It's a blessing to welcome people seeing our beautiful region, the "Schwäbisch ocean"
@@SuperMyslayer Thank you for your kind words. All the best
Great video, fantastic scenery and delectable German fair. And that begs the question, "how come you don't gain weight".
Haha, I think the biking and hiking helped balance things! 😉
😊
Hola chicos, cuando regresan a córdoba ? Abrazos y saludos desde Calamuchita....
I would like to visit.
I remember I was in Lindau in 2001 and went exploring on foot and found a small church with a memorial to the unknown soldier in the basement.
Looks like you were in Germany around same time we were on our cruise. Same issues. Rain🤓
It was a rainy week indeed! I hope you were still able to enjoy the cruise.
@@samuelandaudrey We managed to make the best of it.
Hi guys, Great video! My buddy and I plan on biking the lake this fall. If you had 5 days to bike Lake Konstanz, would you stay each night? One for sure has to be Lindau but where else? We're looking for small village to stay in. Thanks so much for any help you can provide. All the best
Google "Bodensee Rad Weg" It's a Website
Some hotels specialize in cyclists. “Am Gleis” Markelfingen Radolfzell for example
My co-watching mother wants you to go to the Flower Island Mainau.
Thanks for the recommendation! We didn't make it this time, but I just googled it and it looks really nice!!
Continued: There are no full scale dirigibles in the museum. Besides, the city is lovely for what I can see in Google Maps. And it has a port so I guess there might be a way to go there by boat.
What I find very interessting is that there is no border in lake constance. The lake is managed by all three countries together which is called a condomonium and that for a long time now. And, no fight, no war about what belogs to whom. Where do you find that nowadays?
When are you guys going back to Hong Kong, I loved your Hong Kong blogs
Not anytime soon, but I'd recommend Taylor R for awesome Hong Kong content on CZcams!
if the display on the ebike is off, the bike is off. 😂
Hola quiero saber por q no grabaron la semana pasada quiero saber cómo están de salud espero q estén bien saludos
Qué bueno escucharlo hablar en su Lengua a Samuel!!!y qué lindo que seas bilingüe Audrey!Los intuyo al escucharlos....pero me lamente perder el ameno relato!!!Un abrazo desde Tucumán,Argentina!!!
Hi, may I know what Guided Walking Tour you use in Konstanz? thank you
It would be great to have the contact information for the walking tour you did in Konstanz, thanks!!
How much ticket cost in Ferry between Lake konstanz to.Lindau ?
13:12 Is Audrey reacting to the weather or having a medical event? 😅
That's what happens when you add wind and rain. I begin to malfunction! 😂

Я правильно понимаю, это курорт без пляжей ?
There are plenty of beaches on Lake Constance
Chicos pueden poner nombres de suscriptores con alguna leyenda en el hotel a cambio de plata. Podría ser una buena forma de ayudar con la obra. Pondría plata para tener mi nombre en alguna pared xD
