Oh Ulm, I live there, funny to see all streets here 😄 We can not imaging what a beautiful medival city this could be if it hadn‘t been destroyed in WW2. But anyway, it managed it to get back its special flair. I enjoy to live there.

One of my favourite cities! My husband played a concert on the Platz in front of the minster, just before we got married. Can you imagine how cool it was? I lived there for work a few times and have such happy memories. I am so glad you liked it and that "the church was good"!

Well, all I know is that the supermarkets here are open till 9pm and 10pm! Everything that comes after that, like 24/7 in America, I find irresponsible towards the salespeople! they also want to have free time and be there for their families. it makes no sense that supermarkets are open until after midnight. the few people who still shop then, don't make a big difference in sales.

I am an "Ulmer", i live here since my birth. And i am very happy that you had visited us and had a nice beautiful day here, enjoyed our beloved town. 🤗

When in Ulm, um Ulm and um Ulm herum you should definetely make a side trip to Blaubeuren and the Blautopf!!! It's a pond directly on the foot of the Schwäbische Alb from which a whole river arises. It's very deep and has such clear water that it looks unreal blue. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it. Oh, and some of the oldest musical instruments (bone flutes) in the world have been found in caves nearby - isn't it fitting for the land of Bach and Beethoven (and Rammstein!!!) to have had musicians 36,000(!) years ago?

👍For the fantastic shirt of dad Steven! But the video was also wonderful!

Yay! Switzerland! I can’t wait! Ulm is now on my bucket list.

Shops are open longer in Ulm since it is in the state of Baden-Württemberg where shops are allowed to open 24 hours from Monday to Saturday and until 2 pm on Sundays and public holidays. Shops in your state have to close at 8 pm during the week and are only allowed to open on up to 4 Sundays per year if there is a special event in the city.

Oh my, these are the streets I walk down every day! 😂 So glad you had great weather for your visit! I took my son’s then 4th grade class to the top of the Münster way back when ( now in 12th grade).

I LOVE Ulm. Did my studies there. Happy, you loved that city as well! We will be spending our vacations as of Friday at "Bretagne", the most Western place in France, near the city Brest. Take care and enjoy your time in "Allgäu" and Europe. Love to accompany you, travelling. ❤️

That "alcohol free beer" you tried was a Radler and not a beer. That is 50% lemonade mixed with 50% beer (sometimes also 60/40). PS: You can identify it through the lemons on the label. Normal beer wouldn't have them.

To promote the German city of Ulm, also the site of one of Napoleon's famous victories. Gwen Stefani's 2004 hit What You Waiting For could be used, via a simple reworking of the chorus, removing the oh's and turning them into Ulm. Wunderbar.

Cool to see u in our hometown

The opening hours of stores are quite restricted through the law in Bavaria where you live. Stores have to close by 8pm in all of Bavaria. In other regions the law isn't as strict so stores could be open until 10 or even 12pm :) Enjoy your time!

Willa is the star! The church was gorgeous!

A suiting german tongue twister: "In Ulm, um Ulm und um Ulm herum." Now repeat 10 times as fast as possible 🙃

Ulm!!! This is one of my favorite cities because.Sophie Scholl lived there

First of all: Welcome to Germany Steve. I am sure you will get thes best tour guides ever and you will not feel getting lost 😀Hi Risa, Willa, Noa and Tanner. Yes, Ulm its a nice town and worth to visit. Hope Steve liked it as well. First time for him in Europe ? Cross my fingers for sunny in the swiss alps ith great views and hikes as well. Cu in the next video. Have fun

I would have liked to have seen.. Willa in the Steiff museum close to there in Giengen

You guys are one of my favorite travel vloggers! Keep it up❤

Such a weird feeling to see places you've been to so many times in a video on yt xD ulm is beautiful.

only one hour away from Augsburg - you HAVE to visit this beautiful city❤

Willa said "Upsi Dupsi" which is the german version :D

Ulm is considered by some as the gate to Upper Swabia which is the region between Ulm and Friedrichshafen at the Lake of Constance. The big day of Ulm is called Schwörmontag which is celebrated at the end of June or the beginning of July. The mayor of Ulm is supposed to swear a public oath on a balcony of the city hall on that day. Afterwards there's a big party in the city. The special highlight of it is a procession of all kinds of vehicles able to swim floating down the Danube river. The procession is called "Nabada" (Hinunterbaden) which means something like bathing down the Danube river. There are a couple of videos on KZfaq featuring that procession. This year Schwörmontag will be celebrated on July 24th. You can see the Alps from the top of the Ulmer Münster belfry. However mind that they're more than 100 km south of Ulm. The air needs to be very clear - a condition more often met with windy weather in spring and in autumn. You'll be able to enjoy a particularly good view of the Alps in a weather condition known as "Föhn" when masses of air are crossing the Alps and descend on their northern side causing quite strong winds and even storms sometimes. The Alps would appear as if they were just 30 - 40 km away and as if they were under/behind a magnifying glass. Then parts of the Alps within Germany, Austria and Switzerland can be seen - including for example the highest mountain of Germany, the Zugspitze. It's a quite panoramic view of the central part of the Alpine mountain range.

I used to live near there (in Schelklingen), the nature is so beautiful, plenty of hiking and really friendly locals! That 80s background music though - I'm expecting Michael J. Fox starting his new career at any minute 😅

👋 Oh my... when were you here. My workplace is in Neu-Ulm (just across the Danube).

I never understand how you guys stay so slim, I look at the Maultaschen and Spätzle and already gained weight

I don't know where you're heading in Switzerland, but the weather right now is gorgeous. I would highly recommend visiting Lucerne to you. It is as gorgeous as a city can get. Take the boat ride, you'll find even old original steamboats to take.

Fun fact: There is a town called New Ulm in Minnesota, which was even the setting of a movie ("New in Town") of 2009 starring Renée Zellweger.

I like your way of traveling and trying new things. I think you would also enjoy visiting the Wartburg near Eisenach in Thuringia? It is the place where martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin into German and it is a UNESCO world heritage and you can see the original room and furniture. AND: Thüringer Bratwurst is also quite famous (I think you already tried it)

The "Rathaus" has nothing to do with Rats its the "City Hall" of a Town and also the Mayors official Residence. "Rat" means "Advice" in german and is also used as a Title of a City Councilman (Stadtrat).

Pfannkuchen is a little different from crepe. It's thicker, a bit like pancake.

Oh, My beautiful, beautiful hometown ❤️

The more beautiful look over the river Donau is from Neu-Ulm side of the river towards Ulm ;)

What a nice city to be, nice that you had such a wonderful weather to enjoy Ulm. Now non alcoholic beer is much better and you can have so much more options. The breweries are much more into it to create also a tasty non alcoholic beer. The crepe was huge.

The carts on the platz had the best brats and pom-fritz.

Some beautiful spots to visit for everyone: maria alm am steinernen meer in Austria, Lechtal in Austria, the island krk and neighboring islands in croatia, Heidelberg in germany (especially the castle), the old castle and the tower above geislingen an der steige (helfenstein & ödenturm) and also the ostlandkreuz there. Those are just the places I've been to (and grown up near them in the case of geislingen). Also if you're interested in technology and vehicles of all kind there are some great museums near heidelberg: the technikmuseum (two locations, one in Speyer and one in sinsheim, both highly recommended), and the Hockenheimring is close by. Make sure to check if there's an event there, usually on fridays you can get onto the grandstands at the start finish straight for free so you can watch them go round the track during practice. Other museums to visit if you're into aviation are Leipheim in bavaria, an old air base that used to be part of Messerschmitt and is now a museum, the dornier museum and the zeppelin museum both in friedrichshafen.

one thing i like in Ulm is that there are so many cafe's, you can't be hungry.

really cool that you've been to ulm. and i can agree, it is one of the must see cities in germany. :)

Maultaschen❤ Schwaben❤ Ulm❤

My hometown ^^

Hope you can get to Augsburg one day. Was stationed there for 2 years. Beautiful and historical city

That's a really beautiful video about your visit to Ulm. I'd recommend to you coming back to Ulm for Schwörmontag on July 24th (see my earlier comment).

Nice video! Please, come to Freiburg im Breisgau! See you!

Idk why this suddenly popped up on my feed but since i live really close to ulm and spent lots of time there already i had to watch this 😂

I'm living in the south of Baden-Württemberg. Well, in my town (15.000 citizens), all REWE in my area close at midnight, since decades. Edeka at 20 pm. Even at Saturday. And regarding "Spätzle": Spätzle are "scraped" from a wooden board into boiling water. Not so talented people (like me :-)) are using a Spätzle press. So, original Swabian Spätzle look like "stings", like noodles. This one (like served in e.g. Bavaria) look like little knobs or drops. And that's the reason why we (here in Baden-Württemberg, at least in my area) call this "Knöpfle" (little knobs) and not Spätzle. It's like calling all types of Italien pasta spaghetti. ...smartass mode off 🙂 ok, ok the main thing is that it tastes good.

Uuuuhh, your father is here, that's literally calling for a new Mettbrötchen video a.k.a. how to torment an American on vacation 😈. It would be great if you tried Kaiserschmarrn in Austria and Malzbier in Germany. Your family is great, keep it up!!!! We love Willa and Noa.

1:52 I too say upsi dupsi I guess she picked that up in Kita :)

The beer you got was not actually pure beer. It was Radler, which is half beer, half lemonade. So you still haven't tried proper beer, Risa :) I actually prefer Radler bc it's less bitter than pure beer. My favorite is Gösser from Austria.

Enjoy your Life Guys

Risa we actually say Oopsie Doopsie in German 😂

May I ask... how do you handle nursing during your trips? Do you use bottles? Did you try breastfeeding like semipublically? Are there any differences in your experinces compared to Utah? PS: the Germany version of 'oopsy daisy' is 'uppsala' like the Swedish city north of Stockholm (but that's just coincidence)

Yes beautiful, lived for 10 years there in the sixties and senties

Ulm ist very nice. I life in the 90s not fare from there :-)

Ulm - beautiful city I have been living in for the last 25 years😊

In love with ULM ❤😅 please visit us again

3:17 I have also wondered in the past why some houses of that vintage lean and others do not. One convincing answer I got was that it is due to the ground these houses were built on. But not in the sense that the builders were too dumb (or greedy) to look for solid ground. Look at all the houses built in Amsterdam or Venice. Those were built on stilts. Oak logs rammed into the ground to stabilize it. No, the reason I was given was: the frequent fires. As every self-respecting city went through lots of fires it also was built up afterwards. The rubble was leveled and new houses built on it.But in the rubble was also degradable material. Like the beams which were no more usable and left in the ground. So over time the supposedly level place became uneven and made the house sink in unevenly.

Please tell me which stores in Ulm are open on Sundays?

Sorry to say… but it’s not Ulmer Minster, it’s the Ulmer Münster

1983-1989 Pershing ,Neu-Ulm ,nuclear warriors preserving peace.

Is the plaque of Einstein near the Mc Donalds still?

Meine zweite heimat.

Well jumped, little lion! 😂

Guuk, die munstha!

Nooo, Maultaschen aren't feed bags, they say that the name came from the original word "Maulbronner Nudeltaschen" (Maulbronn was a monastery) - they were filled with meat and invented to fool God on fast days.

Nice Vlog, I hope you don't mind me asking, but do you guys drink coffee? Only asking because I have some friends who are Mormons and they do not drink coffee...

Could you make a video about how your Ukrainian friends are today and if you are still in contact?

In Ulm, um Ulm , um Ulm rum. Say it 3 times fast.

Кадры мелькают так же быстро, как ты тараторишь.....

Wonderful video, but I must say I'm a bit disappointed you missed the birthplace of the composer Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitzweimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm. 🤣🐍

Lot’s of interruptions from the kids

You are mostly making a big mistake by letting your own taste or ‚expectation’ rule the review of the food. ‘It is not the best’ sounds so we would say ‚Überheblich‘. Sorry, but how do you know that this is not the best? ‚It is no really what I like‘ would be a more appropiate reaction, I think😉

Mein Gott, Willa ist so groß geworden. Vielen Grüße aus Kroatien

You guys look very european :-)

You guys have no idea. Showing crappy American type family restaurants and 0 attractions highlighting the Münster. The city has a lot, not what you presented. Try again.
