this is a taste of some of the activities that  you can enjoy around Lake Constance Germany so  

hit that subscribe button and join us for the  adventure good morning good morning friends from  

the shores of Lake Constance yeah beautiful Lake  we arrived here late last night late last night  

yeah we're currently in the town of Randolph cell  yes and we've got one day to explore here so we  

decided to get some electric bikes and go cycling  along the lake because look at how beautiful this  

is It's just totally stunning gorgeous there's  this beautiful path it's lined by trees I mean  

what more could you ask for and we were supposed  to get rain this morning and somehow we lucked  

out so I mean I'm just counting my blessings  here that we have nice weather for the time  

being and we got a beautiful Lake to explore  with swans with swans yes with swans all right

so we started our cycling tour in Rudolph  and followed the cycling path that hugs the  

lake shore this cycling path took  us past Wetlands Farmland in cute  

little towns where it seemed like every  home had its own vegetable garden and  

then we arrived at our first stop Glaser  obstin gemuse a fruit and vegetable market

so we've made it to the first stop of our  foodie biking tour oh man we're getting  

spoiled with some great dishes check this out  guys we've got some delectable looking pumpkin  

slices I think they've been roasted in oil  see different seasonings get the assortment  

of bread with all kinds of ingredients on top  some tomato and cheese oh my goodness it is  

the season this is awesome and outside wait  notice some really amazing pumpkins so I'm  

excited to be trying pumpkin here for sure  they did just like that and into the mop

really really nicely cooked very  soft texture basically today what  

we're doing is just biking and eating all  morning long we have three scheduled stops  

this is the first one right here this is right  up her alley this is what we love to do yes and  

basically this place is like a fresh vegetable  market it's a bakery it's a cafe so yeah really  

busy lots of people doing their grocery shopping  and this is so delicious like everything is a  

locally grown we've been cycling Past Farms  beautiful scenery I mean we've seen some gorgeous  

houses too along the way Gardens really nice bike  paths Orchards we've seen lots of apple orchards  

and people picking their Apples because it is late  September so definitely if you come to this area  

exploring by bike is the way to go for  sure in typical salmon Audrey fashion

and said we hadn't turned it on properly so  we were just like cycling using leg power  

and that's kind of why we've been falling behind  schedule we're like how are we supposed to make it  

from one stop to the next in such a  short amount of time it's not enough well  

now that we're going a little faster I think we'll  be able to get back on track and make up the time  

we then continued cycling and at this point it  started to rain so we couldn't film very much  

but we made it to our next Food stop on the tour  so we have now made it to our second stop on this  

biking tour and we are having Tapas and some  apple Shore lift and I just want to show you  

what we have here on the plate because there's  a little bit of everything we have a mini onion  

tart which is a local specialty then we also have  some lentils we have some red onions that are also  

grown specifically in this area we have a radish  salad some grilled cheese some cranberries and  

there's also an aioli with some butternut squash  and pumpkin so everything looks delightful we've  

been working up an appetite here lots of cycling  lots of working those legs especially because  

it took us a while to figure out that that the  electric bike has a turbo setting that like just  

lets you fly through the countryside so yeah but  we figured it out too late towards the end of the  

tour unfortunately so we've put in a lot of leg  work yeah we sure have yeah was it our most genius  

moment it's like we just got on the bike and I  started riding it like a normal one and then wow  

yeah so don't make our mistake yeah go straight to  Turbo yeah and another thing I wanted to mention  

this apple surely that we're drinking right now  uh the apples are also from the region like we've  

been biking past a whole bunch of apple orchards  we've seen people picking the apples because it is  

that time of year so this is all local all-natural  and that's one of the nice things about traveling  

in this area it is an agricultural area um  so everything you're going to be eating at  

the restaurants is going to be fresh seasonal  local and often organic so cheers to good food  

our third food stop wasn't very far next we cycled  to hirschen Horn a seven generation family-run  

hotel and restaurant I wish we could have had more  time here because the place was amazing but we'll  

share what we had to eat there instead we just  finished an amazing meal that was our third stop  

on the bike tour tell us what did you order oh  my gosh I had duck I think my first time to have  

German duck and it was absolutely delicious it was  served with gravy it had pear with a Chutney and  

a beautiful potato dumpling to help soak up all  the gravy honestly that's maybe one of the top  

meals I've had on this whole trip just absolutely  loved it I really liked the place too we got to  

tour around a little bit yes looks like the kind  of place that you could come and have a very  

relaxing holiday spend time by the sauna all kinds  of things it was great as for me I had fish from  

the local Lake right here that was also very nice  with some noodles had a salad so yeah excellent  

meal and this is definitely a destination for  like a wellness rest and relaxation type of  

holiday I wish we had more time here but well  perhaps we'll return some day yes we'd love to  

from there we hopped on a bus and then on  a train to Constance our time here was very  

limited since we had a ferry to catch later  that afternoon but we managed to see a bit of  

the City by taking a guided walking tour we  mainly focus on the ouchdatz or Old Town we  

first visited the Holy Trinity Church where  you can see the medieval frescoes that were  

uncovered beneath the Baroque plaster this is  also called the augustinian church since it  

was built in the late 13th century for the  local Monastery of the augustinian Hermits

foreign

we also visited Konstanz Constance Moonstar or  Konstanz Constance Cathedral with its mishmash  

of Romanesque Gothic Renaissance and Baroque  Styles this Cathedral dates back to the 7th  

Century but then it collapsed in the year 1052 so  it had to be rebuilt a process that took 300 years  

and then there were Restorations and expansions  which explains the different architectural Styles  

and then it was time to get on the ferry and  begin Our Lake Crossing of Lake Constance now  

for anyone planning to travel here you'll notice  that locally Lake Constance is called bodensee  

so don't let that confuse you the two are the  same place this is the largest lake in Germany  

74 kilometers in length and a Ferry Pass is a  popular way to go town hopping around the lake  

guys we are on a boat we I should check in I mean  we arrived in Konstanz Constance on the train we  

had an hour there so we did a guided tour for  one hour which was really fun but so much to  

soak in in only 60 minutes but we got to see some  of the highlights and now we are on a boat we are  

going across Lake Constance Bodensee it's going  to be a journey of about three and a half hours  

we're getting off at lindau so even though this  is like Transportation I'm kind of thinking of  

it as a sightseeing activity because we're on a  boat in a beautiful Lake surrounded by Germany  

Switzerland and Austria hey how cool is that and  we've got some drinks it looks like they look like  

beers but they're not it's actually just Apple  shortly and you've got one it's either currant  

or Gooseberry let me try yours yours is a bit  more tart oh yeah this is great and we have a  

little snack coming and what we'll end up doing  is giving you a full tour of the boat then show  

you some of the beautiful scenery we encounter  along the way it is a simple meal I'll show you  

it's sausage with a curry sauce so kind of like  a curry worst I guess we can say and we also have  

a little bun to dip in the sauce and we're trying  to keep it light because we're having dinner once  

we arrive to lindau yeah so this is just like a  mid-afternoon snack because we were planning to go  

to a cafe and have some cake and coffee but there  just wasn't enough time so we eat on the boat now

even though it rained for most of the  journey we did get to see some of the  

towns that the ferry stopped at to pick up  passengers and there were some beautiful  

places out there one recurring theme was  Vineyards Vineyards and more Vineyards  

I can only imagine what this place  looks like on a sunny Summer's Day

this is a little embarrassing to admit but  we are eating again in my defense it is three  

and a half hours on a boat so what else are  we gonna do so we've moved on to the Suites  

a cappuccino with whipped cream it looks  so good I'm a little bit concerned about  

whether I'm going to be able to sleep  tonight or not with this caffeine in me

but we just couldn't resist that and we  got a cake this is like a berry mousse

nuts little nuts

I love the chocolate nut combination  

very tasty very good this is a nice way to pass  the time just eat cake and enjoy the scenery watch  

the little towns go by there are so many towns  that I now want to visit along Lake Constance  

some of them are just surrounded by Vineyards  like this would be my kind of place cute Charming  

historic town with Vineyards in the outskirts  you just drink wine biking and drinking all  

day and then falling asleep in the vineyard that  sounds like my idea fun we are going to a veneer  

tomorrow so we're getting a taste of him stay  tuned well it's wet hello hey so we're outside  

now on the deck we've been traveling for a few  hours and yeah it is raining very windy waters are  

a little more choppy now but this is what it looks  like out here you can imagine on a nice sunny day  

you would have probably half of the boat would be  out enjoying the the Sun out on the deck it's been  

a great ride though it's just makes you realize  how many places there are to visit along Lake  

constants like in I think you could do a whole  trip based on visiting the little communities here

and then we reached lindau we were staying on  lindau insan which is the island on Lake Constance  

and can I just mention what a beautiful Port Entry  this town has you are greeted by a lighthouse in a  

monument called The Lion of Bavaria but we'll  show you more of the town later in the video

this is the right place no yes okay

after disembarking we walked to our hotel  dropped off our luggage and went out for  

dinner we ate at a place called algutale  it's a restaurant in car museum so Sam  

really enjoyed that as for the meal  the portions were small but the food  

was good so if you're looking for an upscale  restaurant experience this fits the bill foreign

foreign

the following morning we enjoyed  a quiet walk around lindau while  

the island was still waking up and then  it was time for a visit to the vineyard  

good morning good morning everyone everyone oh  so it is day two yes we are here in Lindell on  

the East End of Lake Constance and this morning we  hopped on a bus traveled about 20 minutes to the  

mainland arrived at a winery where we are about  to embark on a little self-guided hike and wine  

picnic I mean check out the backpack I've got here  yeah this is what they provided they provided us  

with picnic yes and wine free time and a beautiful  Scenic place to go on a hike and a map so we don't  

get lost what could be a better way to end our  time in Germany than this seriously this is the  

ultimate this is like right upper alley we love  food we love wine we like to be out in nature  

and we also like to have a you know have a bit of  time to ourselves and a schedule that is is going  

to allow us to relax and just go for a really nice  walk yes exactly so this Winery that we're doing  

the tour with they've got their little sign there  it's called weingo taug and yeah I'm I'm eager to  

try their wines they asked us what kind we wanted  we said white because this is Germany so we'll  

see what that's all about but in the meantime  let's begin our hike we have a beautiful Trail  

up here that leads up through the vineyard so I  think we're gonna have a good time let's do it

we're gonna work up an appetite yeah

we are thumb steps carry those  bottles of going there we go  

foreign

okay so we found a little picnic bench like  a little Refuge here under the bushes it  

might rain soon so we're gonna start our  picnic that's exactly why we're doing it  

right now the clouds are looking a  little more ominous and distant so  

we are going to get going with the food  and the wine all right so what do we have  

two four minutes eight one and there's a second  one in there okay um what else do we have

oh wonderful selection of veggies look at that  carrots cucumber radishes yep all pre-sliced
