movement fighting for the case to be taken seriously in the world of war here's what's coming up. on my talk on. the female super hero on a mission to change our attitudes on smart women smile smart talks smart station the legend news and by no means missed out on a brain creasing dangerous time. to make trouble.

one can say there is something quite ideal about the location and surroundings of the city unfortunately that's not a cold for me but for good to he was referring to heidelberg in southwestern germany this romantic city as it chanted many writers to the old town. right next to the bridge gate we find this bronze monkey it's a much photographed landmark of title back. what does this monkey want to tell us that we are as ugly as he is and that's why he holds a mirror up to us but he also has an enticing promise anyone who touches the mirror will become rich allegedly that is and those who touch his fingers will return to hide back. so it seems i'll be revisiting hiding their expense.

course title back cost is high on my list of things to do. also on the show our weekly v mail comes this time from the frosty destination the antarctic. and in our series meet a local judge it just shows us around her hometown abu dhabi. from heil backs alltel and it's a steep climb up to the castle of the number one tourist attraction in this small city on the neck a river. castle has been intentionally kept as a ruin because if there really look creates a special atmosphere and if i take a look around i have to say the poets and tourists have every right to be impressed

. with. the council is titled there is crowning jewel a must see for romantics and millions of tourists. and french troops destroyed it during their occupation of the city in the seventeenth century the remains were on the brink of collapse until a savior arrived. in the height of. the guy that was a refugee from the french revolution and he was horrified how can we use this council as a quarry and we have to preserve it but he insisted that it be kept as a rule of law giving that in this state it symbolized the very notion of romance and stasis last. month which was. only a small portion of the council was rebuilt. as

a museum. it also displays the style in which the rich and powerful cautious new lived. but above all it's the imposing ruin that captivates visitors from all over the world it's been especially popular among americans since the one nine hundred twenty four broadway hit about all title bad. tooth musical what are more of its now from broadway in the musical became the longest running show in broadway history and lots and suddenly every american knew about heigl back in through that was when this idea of the good old germany with its bad drinking students a little romance a little fording love captivated the american imagination. the castle is surrounded by an expansive park. with its exotic plants not prince and grottoes it was considered an eighth wonder of the world.

in the summer months the castle takes center stage as the perfect backdrop for the city's annual theater festival. i shop. and what better way to end a romantic day been on the banks of than ever with a view of the light show and fireworks and event held three times a year. by fall of a scent of romance two highly backs markets where. this is where you'll find the town hall and the church of the holy spirits. today the church is product. but that wasn't always the case in the past it was

a times used by catholics and then again by lutherans there were even times when bill's denomination celebrated mass in the church separated by a wall. this building just across from the church is a rerun they sons jim commissioned by a cloth merchant it's now a hotel that survived all the wars and fires that ravaged the city and today is a listed monument. i think you've had a great taste of title back so far that's why we meet the city for a moment and take a trip to the south pole our check in viewer priyanshu now from thailand took some spectacular footage over there and he has sent us the video thanks for that and now enjoy the v mail.

heidelberg is the quintessential student town it's home to germany's oldest university it's over six hundred thirty years old. more than thirty thousand students are enrolled here. yet i'm john is one of them he offered to show me around our first stop is the

assembly hall it reminds me of a church that you. wouldn't know for a long time it was used for teaching but today it's mostly reserved for concerts lectures the ceremonies and it's a place frequently shown off to tourists and among those good food like me and exactly the assembly hall is the showpiece of title back universities main building . next vino takes me to the library nearby it houses a priceless treasure the codex monday says. hello and welcome to our historic round reading room one for the love librarian marty missing shows us the precious book well it's a copy but that means we can touch it and take a closer look. this is. i think it's a collection of german a ballad and lyrical poetry. and it's because i'm in the works of about one hundred forty singers are included here and the most famous is undoubtedly about

a hundred forty five that's a good thing so it's like a really big song book yeah pretty much. the book was written and illustrated between thirteen hundred and thirteen forty it's not just a key source of mediæval songs with it's portraits of a nobleman it also provides an insight into the age of chivalry. there are many other valuable manuscripts in the university library they're being digitalized here page by page. now anyone can check out the manuscripts on the computer for example in the reading room of the library. we move on to the canteen in the armory it was voted canteen of the year in two

thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven it's open to students and visitors i like the atmosphere here it's the perfect place to quiz vino about life in height of back. sooner than you know just what do you study in heidelberg studio here a bachelor's in southeast asian studies with a focus on history and ethnology mr especially my native sri lanka and south india in here and why in hyderabad like old often just never several reasons heidelberg is a lovely town and has a good reputation it's internationally renowned. it's also a very compact town people say heidelberg is actually a village with the university and that pretty much hits the nail on the head and off. it or does it and it's not only german students here right there from all over the world. you know other advocates all right heidelberg is very able to dash and so was the university we frequently have students from india.

bangladesh who start their master's program here we also run a lot of summer and vacation courses and so why is highly back known as the student tell us oh i thought i think that has a lot to do with the history heidelberg university was founded in the thirteen eighty six and for many decades and centuries a quarter of heidelberg population was made up of students. to i don't fiddle with me and then there's the old town also known as the bar area where lots of students go out to party after they've been studying hard. on. nothing. sounds like a place to really go crazy with that in mind i have another tip for you. some things never change students have always liked. party and in the past those who are party to heart were at risk of ending up in the so called cuts of the

university's own prison today you won't find any locked up students tourists come here often terribly. generations of heidelberg students have left their mark here students who are trying too much broke the rules and threw stones at lamp posts they all ended up in heidelberg universities private prison. in cuts ago before i knew it i was put in a cell i'm having fun the day to swell. two or three days of incarceration in the late nineteenth century was more of a laugh than a punishment it was a jovial jail. because copious amounts of alcohol flowed here to. the prison art was created with paint sort and leftover food. nick still they used to dread

to make picture frames. the last inmate sat here in cell for more than one hundred years ago france shandor maya born in one thousand nine hundred one in the town of show invite. his offense to the end can stand of student fronts jandali a salute the sidewalk outside the house such time gas a number eighteen by urinating a victorious we need them. the last inmate didn't have time to contribute to the prison artwork he was released on february twenty first nineteen fourteen six months later he volunteered for military service in the great war doing just a title back at idle but university then had more than twenty six hundred students of those more than twelve hundred world war one and has i think they have bigger worries in. the student jail was closed about a hundred years ago today and the only people leaving their traces are the tourist

. class. as well as its narrow winding streets heidelberg also has a busy main road that runs parallel to the neck up through the old tell me. it's one of the longest and most beautiful pedestrian zones in europe full of shops and boutiques. it's also the location of the historic student hall and oxnard. built in seventeen zero three it's been run for the past one hundred seventy five years by the family many a celebrity yes stop by including marilyn monroe and mark twain. we in serves up traditional fare and i'm eager to tuck in the hearty potato soup is

right up my alley. while i'm eating my soup you can visit all the other side of the high the back we haven't seen yet i bet you don't want to miss anything right. with this cafes bars and stores the street called stein gosar connects the town center and the old bridge you're sure to pass through on your tour through town. the nearby baroque gesture with church is worth a snapshot it was built in the eighteenth century and as one of the largest and most significant churches in heidelberg. and this is our insider's chip outnumbered university's botanical garden it's more than a century old. it started as

a doctor's garden for medicinal plants today more than ten thousand plant species grow in the green ounces and garden grounds. but it was built as a stage four events by the nazi party. today the dings show to use a listed monument and is used for open air concerts. so as heidelberg been hit with today's visitors it's as ours and a bit here and i enjoy it if the how can i make i may come here again very interesting city. where they are going forward and a very friendly. if you want to visit juggling go to i did we have is the best thing. a popular heidelberg souvenir is the student kiss a specialty by the city's oldest chocolate maker. many a seasoned politician has enjoyed the sweet treat.

back in the days smitten students would gift a box as a token of their affection now the customer is most likely a tourist looking to take home a memento of their trip to heidelberg. now it's time for a trip to the crew next to the mountain meaning kings jare we're going up on the fin the killer. it has several stops you can also get off at the castle but i'm going up all the way. to you know. you have to change trains from a new train to one of the oldest finish of the railways in germany the poets of the romantic era would no doubt have found some flowery language to describe the experience. it's a slow and bumpy journey very nostalgic. right.

there right up to next to it is worth it simply for the spectacular views across title back and its surroundings but that's not the only reason i've come up. here waiting patiently. coming in. once or twice a day in summer the two new clothes fell can read this place it's birds of prey common vilma first shows us the eagle owl you will young. the show lasts about an hour and a half and there is lots to learn about owls falcons and eagles visitors are welcome to share their knowledge and earn a feather or two. that's how do they differ from other parts of america can anyone tell me yes you know i think al's are an upturn will stand that it's ready to get a feather. the oh i don't think else are

nocturnal they prefer to fly in time tonight or in twilight. yeah. news just. during the would have such good hearing that for instance the barn owl which has the best hearing of all i can hear an insect crawling on a blade of grass i'm not kidding crawling first robin and even more amazing it can hear that from a distance of one hundred meters that made i found all times in my guns buff that has now put her on your hand put your thumb out for that's the first exercise. the next birds that carmen shows us are felton's of varying size she trains them to chase for hunting for example with a lure program she can't dive in the air. at the end common presents

a cosmopolitan city the vegetable the markets takes you back to work life. what are you all about here although everything is very glitzy people used to live a very normal life. but. this is our dow hobby. the doll being the traditional goat which also represents the rich maritime history that abu dhabi has these dolls are the dolls that go out late at night come in early in the morning selling their fresh catch to the local fishmongers at the fish market. and now for our last stop in abu dhabi i have chosen to take you to the office of ation deck at the end to have.

students professors and philosophers today it's a highlight for visitors it gives fantastic views of the city and castle. i don't think i need to tell you any more about the romantic city or fight of back you've seen it for yourself and a quote from a famous german song pretty much sums it up my path in high def and all that means i lost my heart in height of.
