We Cruise to the Snowy Black Forest in Germany
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators document a festive excursion to the Black Forest in Germany during a river cruise on the Avalon Expression. After navigating COVID-19 testing requirements and a quick breakfast on board, the couple travels by coach through snowy landscapes to reach the heart of the Black Forest. They visit an open-air museum featuring reconstructed historical houses, where they learn about the harsh living conditions of the past, including the lack of ventilation and the challenges of winter. The excursion includes observing traditional crafts such as handwoven shoe making and cuckoo clock demonstrations. The creators also participate in churning butter, which they enjoy with freshly baked bread. Following a traditional German lunch featuring goulash and Black Forest cake, they return to the ship for an afternoon tea. The video concludes with the couple reflecting on their cruise experience, sharing travel tips regarding masks and sanitation, and preparing to pack for their journey home.
