Germany in 4K - Backpacking, Hiking, and Camping the Palatinate Forest - AdventureArchives
video description
Thought you guys were running out of water? Food? No camping site as listed? BigFoot on the loose? Danger? Heck, there was always this gingerbread hamlet a few paces down the road.
This trip reminded me more of a U. S. state park outing. it seemed more apt as a place for training boy and girl scouts, and for families roasting marshmallows on the weekend. I don't expect Adventure Archives to do foolish and extreme things, but this one seemed like it was only just a bit more advanced than backyard camping. Like I said, it wasn't bad, just my least favorite.

As an ethnic German living in the US, I wish more people thought the way you guys do. The bit that starts at 59: 00 was touching for me to hear, and, whether intentional or not, seemed to elude to the way people tend to think of Germany in light of its checkered past. I would like to take the opportunity to say that every corner of the world has a dark history buried somewhere in its past. And although Germany's is in somewhat recent memory for a few, it doesn't mean the culture is bad or the people are bad. The fact is that none of the people responsible for the terrible things that happened are still alive today, and although Germany still has its work cut out for it in building a brighter future in spite of the past, I can't think of a country today that doesn't. Germany is a beautiful land full of kind, smart, hospitable, witty people, and I hope more people have the opportunity to go there and experience it the way you guys have. Thank you for this video!

I have now seen at least 10 of your videos. They are captivating and addictive. But love the tidbits of hiking strategies and plant ID along the way. Lived in Germany for two years working for the DOD and we had one son born there. Have been once because Germany is so enticing. I am so impressed with your skill levels, filming and editing, which I must believe takes longer than the filming, it is done so well. On top of that your music accompaniment is excellent. I will probably not get back to Germany again in my lifetime, despite wanting to visit again for ancestry searches, so your video of Germany is spot on. In fact, all of the videos are spot on. THANK YOU SINCERELY, for your work, dedication and determination to have a great product. By the comments, it's clear that everyone feels the same. Keep up the good work!

41: 55 That insults me on some deep, indescribable level, so I'm just gonna pretend I didn't see that: D
And drinking warm beer. but you gotta do what you gotta do right? Better warm beer than no beer. Anyway, great episode!
I've been in Germany couple times as it's our neighbor. But I mostly hiked in the Alps they have, in NP Berchtesgaden. Now when I see you guys in the Palatinate forest I realize how similar it is to our forests in Czech republic. I think if you guys would ever wondered to forest here, you wouldn't feel much difference. The hunting towers, feeders for deers, cutted trees waiting on the road to be picked up some day, the terrain and forest in general and sadly also graffiti on abandoned structures.

Hey Andrew, you should research Echinococcus multilocularis. I think this may be what your friend was referring to with the fox pee and berries. I thought you would find this interesting.
Much love for you guys! I-m happy to have discovered like-minded nature lovers and philosophers doing their thing and loving on earth, life and enjoying what it is to be human. It feels like recharging a battery watching your videos, like reconnecting to the truest sense of reality that I know and feel deep down to be the absolute truth of our existence here.
You guys care about the right things and what truly is most important. Wise beyond your years and inspiring! Keep the awesome videos coming!

When I went to Germany my senior year of high school it was in February during fasching. That really marked a turning point in my life; a broadening of my horizons. I am proud of how different I am from that person who knew nothing of the world.
My heritage is German, that's why I wanted to go. But in case you didn't know, fasching is German mardi gras and an 18 year old is considered much more of an adult in Europe than in the U. S. And even though much fun was had, my favorite part was a hike through the black forest even if it was the middle of winter.

Hey guys, that-s so incredible! I watched some of your videos a few years ago and lost touch. But now that I-ve found you again, I realized that you-ve made it to my living room the palatinate forest! That's so nice: ) We could have meet up in the woods and I could have had shown you around, what a pity. But one thing I must criticise: You went to Palatinate, one of the most famous regions in Germany for wine making and what did you drink out there? Beer from Bavaria! literally from another country- You should have tried some wine instead, oh bummer!

Really enjoyed this, I also LOVE your humor and your lightheartedness.
Hey can I make a request for the next time you're going to Germany? It's the Berchtesgadener Land, a part of the Alps that will blow you away. Start at Konigsee (King's Lake) and hike up the Saugasse (Sow's lane) to Funtensee (lake Funten. If you still have some breath left in you, hike up the Watzmann, one of Germany's tallest mountains. It will be a trip of a lifetime, trust me.

Hello, German hunter here. All those things you discovered in front of the deer stands are known as a Kirrung or in English 'bait site'. The trough with the roof on it at 40: 35 is where we put corn for the animals and at 47: 16, that is a salt lick. If you found any wooden logs cut in half with legs on them, that is also a place where we put corn for the animals.
