a lot of it goes to green energy solutions reforestation. the community interactive content teaching the next generation about environmental protection and we're determined to build something here for the next generation global one feels the multimedia environment series on t w. everyone and welcome to the final show of our special edition of your own max today we are testing will power here's a look at what's coming up. fitness fanatic how your own max reporter hendrick belling fares at survival training. for the perfect wave surfers from all over the world heads to an aquatic park in wales. and from another time we visit

a real life fighting village in this weekend. we start off today show with a fundamental question how would you cope if you were stuck in the middle of nowhere with no mobile phone no internet connection and no one in sight well some people wouldn't even consider this idea but there are those who think long and hard about what they would do if they suddenly found themselves in the wilderness well perhaps that is why survival training classes have become so popular in recent years our reporter and rebelling decided to test his inner strength and he went out into the wild to prepare for any scenario. it's a matter of life and death i'm about to spend a whole night in the wild but when i survive with no special equipment considering

i only know one jungle. this city of berlin my home town if i don't know how to get from a to b. i just consult my phone. if i'm hungry i just order something from the menu if i need a life it's not an issue i sometimes wonder how would i survive without all these modern tech tooling in the long such seven other urbanites. because the vita as our trainer is going to teach us all the tricks we need to survive. survival begins in the mind it's more about psychology than about mastering certain techniques and skills either you have a will to survive or you don't. first task is to pair up and find a particular meeting point my team mate anthony has never done this before either. i think it's fun to get away from it all and have a bit of freedom from the stress of daily life that's it gets tough as we move further into the forest to try to use our newly acquired knowledge to orient

ourselves by observing most of the treats the stuff in here the growth of mosses quiet distinct isn't that a mess yes but you have to look at several trains have caused cooked. most apparently gross on the northwestern side of trees if there's no moss you need to take a compass but that's not easy to use either. it was fine to get the lesson and i think this morning butts if the find your way in the wild and as that's pretty hard and i feel pretty lost right now. in the end we managed to find a spot where we are setting up camp for the night. we have to check how hot the ground is. we collect branches of different sizes so that we can make a stable and watertight shelter. i'll train explains how to build the rich and show that the opening faces in the direction of the least wind would gather thin twigs and she would have months of leaves to cover the structure and keep all the water and coat. the space should be

as small and comfy as possible to keep in the wall. it's just it's perfectly fine. it is. hunger force the suspect out. feinstein in spring you can eat the young naive of the deciduous tree . of a but they don't taste good. i harvest hazel nuts rose hips and some clover. that's actually really tasty. but it's hardly very filling in any case it's water that's most important here we go looking for sources in the damp or valleys we managed to find one but not without help i'm amazed that the water is so plentiful and tastes so good. and. really tastes like normal water. fire is another essential in the water i collect

some tricks and try to spark a fire using birch bark because it has high tall evidence but it's just too damp and. use a steel fire striker to get it going. can ya. practice makes perfect and i finally did know we can cook the sausages our trainer gave us he felt sorry for us he didn't want us to go hungry after all he want. to enjoy ourselves. my hope is to ignite a passion in people to spend more time outside for thousands like he does. for now we don't have a choice of final challenges to get a good night's sleep in the forest. good night.

it's eight o'clock i'm walking up by birdsong and to some light. morning. i can't really say that it was a good night but at least i didn't freeze despite the temperature drop. was a great experience but i'm really exhausted right now and i'm really looking forward to the whole trial and the delicious meal. but the point is i survived and though i'm making a speedy escape i'm sure i will be back in the wilderness very soon. i was in peace corps for two years in africa that is a piece that. moving on now tokyo is due to host the twenty twenty summer olympic games and this is where surfing will make its official debut as an olympic sport

and good news for potential olympic surfers the event will take place in the ocean and not a wave pool however those who want to put their skills to the test in any condition can head to wales and that is where surfers can ride the longest manmade surfer bull wave in the world. far from the ocean at the edge of a national park in northern wales surfers wait for the perfect way. but they won't have to wait for a long head serves no donia state of the art technology creates the world's longest manmade surfing waves. it took years for fernando de authorities company wave garden to figure out how to create the perfect wave using a minimum of energy. is making surfing accessible there are very few

places in the war. well you can sort of there are a few places right now with this kind of peace delay shows. enabling the war when to be able to surf. a large underwater blade pulled through the center of the lake creates the artificial waves they can be up to two meters i the technology is similar to that of a ski lift. told us company first experimented with the idea at a smaller site in northern spain where they also tested surfing at night. wave garden is the only company that specializes in manmade waves many of tried it but gave up due to high energy costs. sort of snowdonia provides lessons and on site accommodation a two hour beginner course concerts around sixty euros. advanced surfers like beauty x.e.n. pay around fifty five euros an hour to surf the waves it's

a great way to get in some practice but in the ocean the waves are free and the experience is certainly different what i'm missing the most is the bonding with the nature of this interaction that it gives and takes at the same time and that feeling of freedom when you're between sea and sky is something you can't recreate but in the ocean the surface sometimes too rough or too weak throws like cost plus time front from denmark say installations like this might also help establish surfing as an olympic discipline thing with competing in the ocean as you're always at the mercy of the conditions here in the wave pool you can produce the same exact wave again and again and again and that just levels the playing field it's it's a it's a great possibility for competitions especially when looking at the olympic campaign when it decided. the three hundred metre long and one hundred ten metre wide basin is filled with rain water that generates

a wave. every ninety seconds. i'm. hearing c.n.n. news watching the clock he wants to get the most out of his visit. goes very quick. this is something that i want to do stay like for the next five hours here just to get some more feel for it and i guess more accustomed to it. but at a price if it's. a. no go it's back to his hometown geneva switzerland where there are plans for a similar facility the sport is growing and the spanish company wave garden alone is working on twenty more of these projects around the world. we think the ocean is

the best. we can not replace the ocean but that we can. we can bring. ways ways that he's no waves and then i think that's a great combination combining the ocean with with the amount made waves. this artificial surf spot is now one of the biggest attractions in north wales not surprising because you don't have to rely on the sea of the ocean. we saw earlier how hendrick survived in the wild but how did he do living in the viking age will rediscovering this period of time has been very trendy over the past few years there's even a popular t.v. series which embodies the viking age but for those who want something close to the real deal there's a settlement in sweden which operates pretty much as the vikings did participants

were similar clothing make food over a fire and generally learn to live with the basics simply told it's all about going back to the roots now for some this is the perfect way to alleviate the stress of daily life so we went to see if that is the case. it is on a sunday morning in southern sweden and time for a joyride to start the day as a viking. the telecommunications engineer from prague is bending a three week vacation here in the viking settlement for sir john will take him back to the twelfth century and that means breakfast is cooked over an open fire. the way of life and fulfilling. so i don't i don't have to do the stuff i have to do at all but. life to be complicated and i'm awful happy

to. not be bonded to my friends and maybe to my family i have been because i feel like i have my life in my own hands so i feel i gave my life under control. but life here seems anything but restful it's dry and the other want to be vikings are self providers tools clothes furniture and jury made on site. the brand comes straight from the oven. and the butter from the child. only the meat comes from the storm swedish health laws insist on that doesn't miss modern day comforts you have to leave the system it's very healthy for you because that's why how you find yourself so you're not looking for for you're not affording the

values of the society you're creating your own values. every summer the village hosts more than fifty guests eager to unleash their viking alter ego they stick to a rigid daily routine going back to their roots is the name of the game so the internet cigarettes mobile phones and even sunglasses are banned. king gone yakob son is the founder of photo become a former movie producer he's been trying to change the vikings reputation as ruthless pillagers for more than twenty years now. i think it's. over accelerated what happened but of course it happened everyone was doing it the same time. then you had a normal life they didn't want to run killing each other in the town but they went away and then trying to do was to do to get some more trading stuff

villages find out what everyday life was really line can a viking settlement. it or evolved much more around handicrafts and painful dental treatment and debauchery and pillaging. visitors are fascinated by the open air museum and its residents. the foundations to cultural heritage come from there but. i guess. it's more fun to say that you were bloodthirsty warriors once with all the time that they will feed. you can really gives you you know the time and resources to study yourself to study what you feel what do you can do with yourself you know what they're capable of life is seventy very simple but it's different every day

and it's simple just make it complete for yourself. modern day navel gazing among baskins and meet twenty first century vikings can find it in a piece here and a chisel on a simple wooden spoon in the sunset. living like a viking wasn't enough adventure for you then how about a hike from germany to italy up next we take to the foothills in southern germany and make our way over to italy by what now the alps in summer offer hikers dilip mountain scenery lush green valleys and natural mountain rivers that flow into lakes but hiking to these places is not really a walk in the park however those who choose to hit the trails are rewarded with the stunning landscapes in the end. picturesque landscapes. rugged mountains.

valleys and quite farming villages just some of the things you can expect to see on the new hiking path across the alps. the journey begins with a leisurely start in southern germany in good morning on lake taker and say. the members of this hiking group have one thing in common no one is an expert and they have no idea if they have what it takes to complete the seven day tour so it is this minute i read that you go past some really high alpine peaks but that the trail is actually quite pleasant and comfortable to walk the stuff apparently there are some kriti small hotels along the way so yeah just a few nice days in the mountains soon i'm nice she raised nice hiking paths. the metal just wait and see. with a mix of easy and moderate paths the tour guide you to the alpine ridge the total distance is one hundred ten kilometers. austrian guide pub lotta devised

the route. the puts on the day heights and i move at once especially appealing about crossing the alps is that you can start from your home in germany and pass through various regions walking away down to the south and the cold by the sea so you experience different cultures and landscapes. the same. another advantage there's a card to carry the heavy luggage. for three days the group tracks through southern germany toward austria. past the border of the going starts to get a bit tougher as they climb to an altitude of eighteen hundred metres. but it gives them the chance for learning more about those mountainous areas. that they need to salt this time granted to such a hot rock that everything flows above ground which is why these small streams are also full of water the best drinking water by the way you can fill your bottle up

any way you like myself and. people have been hiking across the alps for thousands of years in the seventeenth century crossing the alps became an educational journey for aristocrats but the most famous journey in history was that of the current the jimmy and military commander hannibal in two eighteen b.c. he said we'll cross the mountains with elephants. walkers reached the climax of this alpine crossing the ascent to twenty two hundred forty six meters. at a cool five degrees celsius the group reaches the picture of your mountain pounds and for the first time there in italy. allowable well don we made it welcome to italy salter all fine and. the weather's better already. the final stretch of the hike leads down into the future valley. the group passes

summer battles at traditional farms before reaching deep to to you know the northernmost town in total and that's for our tour you know. time to reflect on the past week. that he didn't do what we saw lots of different regions such a variety of nature and i loved all of it because i like the incredible diversity we started in the countryside with the lovely low mountain areas around the lake. and then right up high into the alpine worlds of picher you know it's only open. and after seven days and hiking boots these folks deserve a hearty reward. dumplings are a delicacy in this region. and the nice south to rolling in the wind those sort of muscles will soon be long forgotten

. and we keep growing over here and off to show with adrenaline's forts and central germany now you have to be a bit crazy to be willing to run down a forty three metre high wall with a ninety degree drop but getting a throw can do just that in the hearts mountains and if that's still not enough and there is a zip line that runs over the valley now these new attractions in the region are meant to attract younger tourists and to tell you the truth it seems to be working . along with picture landscapes the harts mountains northern germany's highest up and offers an adrenaline rush if you dare run forty three metres down the side of the bend for the family secured by a harness this sport is called. two brothers from the region came up with the idea

now every year thousands of tourists. just don't know when you're supposed to lean forward your head says don't do it and the trainer says. leaning over the body and. you know i weigh eighty kilos. and nothing happens you have to pull the rope towards you to trigger the release. from magdeburg once to try it out before she starts security lines are attached but even if you know nothing can happen moving over the edge of the precipice is scary . how do you feel now oh. but when you overcome your fear and lean forward the experience is amazing.

you feel like an action hero. yet you stay under the trainer's watchful eye. the most exposed that's what's most funny getting people who are afraid to just go for it i like the scaredy cats best but i don't want them to have wasted their day and their money they should have fun. the trip down costs forty nine euro. that i thought i'd hang by getting hooked up wasn't exactly final it was pretty scary but as soon as i started off it was great it was lots of fun. and if that wasn't thrilling enough you're in luck nearby is europe. the longest double zip line. of. the claim here you can lose a long one hundred twenty meters up alongside germany's highest dam the rough and reach speeds up to ninety kilometers per hour all for thirty nine europe's players

the players. brothers chevron and mike farrell created this attraction too because they were always traveling around in their former profession and they longed to return home to play. the fear the symptom hundred one. we want to his craft and it traveled all over germany so we thought of ways to come back here and we'd never seen the hearts as a tourist hot spot before but we saw about it for a while and decided to get into tourism not into traditional areas like the restaurant business but instead to do something a little extreme remembers it was extremist. the bungee jumping here certainly is extreme it's a seventy meter freefall from the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge which is four hundred eighty three meters long it's

a real rush for people who want to experience their lives hanging by a thread. and with howard jones at the end of another national edition of euro max don't forget to check out our website or like us on facebook to keep up with the program from me and the rest of the crew here at euro max as always thanks for joining us and was against him. tomorrow on your all my special highlights i don't jump out of the eiffel tower in paris. underwater sculptures off the coast of france a roadie. and our visit to a stone used the biggest national fox. news and more next on.
