This new edition of Place Presents is based on some “FIELD RESEARCH” by HOBBY. The crew explored some lesser-seen German places and traveled into the pretty, magical-looking Black Forest, where they laid out some of the best tricks the region has seen recently.
Watching the edit, you can really feel the good times — and we are hyped for whatever projects they’re working on next.
To wrap it up, below you can find a quote from Derek Zomer and Jesse Voerman, who are mainly responsible for making their “FIELD RESEARCH” – project happen.

“In short, the idea of this project was to spend a week driving to the Black Forest area to look for spots in places where you wouldn’t normally expect them. We booked an Airbnb and set out. Every evening, we searched for spots on Google Street View, and some we simply found by driving around. A few spots are in Stuttgart, and we found one spot in North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) on the way back to the Netherlands.”
