we turn our attention now to so wildlife now the northern bald i best may not be the most be you. a full bird in the world but it is one of the rarest now the species was almost entirely extinct until an initiative between the european union and the world wildlife fund was launched to save it all now a unique resettlement project is underway we take a look at how things are going so far. it's an impressive sign twenty thirty one northern boulder ibis is flying from germany to their winter quarters in italy. fausta mothers. and cotton as a showing that it's the way down. to two women a part of a team dedicated to saving old and bold ideas from extinction. after working with the birds for months they know that beauty is more than skin deep even for but it's . fun for a lot of us them unfun with this has

a lot of people say they look ugly terms end of life but when they see the birds live they realize that's not true of end they're really lovely birds and even. each one has its own character each one is special about this or that and that's what gives them the beauty that these birds radiate. the semester's ask idea so much and this is asker he always wants to be close to you to be beheaded for that you can recognize him right away from his behavior alone. so even if they all look pretty much the same we can tell the difference isn't that she does her work with them every day. whereas now to this on. the northern border says one of the grammar is on the planet it's been an endangered species for for centuries but now some birds are being reintroduced into the wild. they'll need an ultralight aircraft to foster moms in yellow t. shirts to aid recognition

a megaphone and team boss your highness freights the behavioral biologist and initiator of the recent hope project explains what else is required. if you can deviant or hire the birds we still have are kept in captivity so when you want to release them into the wild you have to show them the migration route or create a new migration tradition. and that takes a lot of effort. and call him as to start working with the bird shortly after they hatch the foster mother to teach them to react to certain calls i. find is the kind. of crime. where northern border very close to their foster mothers. the young birds are supposed to follow the women everywhere because they have and that's certain and we kept them when they're between three and eight days old and that how as soon as they learn how to take

food from a sudden we start calling them like this at every feeding they hear it so they'll connect the food with the car that's what i've been the one where in the ultralight aircraft we use it so that they'll follow us around them it sounds and a half ago. on a smaller stick and call them as time i have spent half a year training the birds to fly with them the project is supported by the worldwide fund for nature of the photos and always follow the plane it takes practice. funny i'm a fan of plans but even as if we start off in small steps and we take really short flights and slowly increase them then when we've been in the air for a while we circle around and keep calling them and entice them to far away meadows and eventually when they notice that we're taking them on outings that we're flying to new meadows with them that spurs their interest then they get it and follow us everywhere and copyrighted material fight. now they have an almost one thousand kilometer journey ahead of them the e.u. finances the reason for hope project for your highness fights the plane journey is

something special. this is pretty just moving with the birds in three dimensions of space crossing the alpine divide as an elevation of up to two thousand six hundred meters is fascinating almost surreal to not see all. after exactly two weeks they land at the guna valby tallow and nature reserve in south in tuscany. as they are here just happy to have arrived at their winter quarters and succeeded in showing the ibis is the way south. but the joy is tempered with sorrow because soon the foster mothers must bid farewell to their charges nothing to without it is a bit sad but then that's the aim that they're free and independent and that doesn't work they're relying on us and human opponents i think if them to foster

mothers will stay with their feathered friends until november by next year at the latest the burns should be able to fly so i. want to know more about european lifestyle and culture visit euro max on facebook. you'll find highlights from our programmes. three hundred sixty degree videos of the most beautiful places in europe and snapshots taken by our reporters take an exclusive look behind the scenes at how the program is produced and follow us on facebook live. we'd love it when fans visit our facebook page and give us their feedback visit d.w. euro max on facebook. time now take a trip and today we are headed to slovenia thanks to our viewer request from ecuador rosita perez would like to know more about the south eastern european country now it's becoming an ever more popular destination thanks to its

picturesque villages and untouched countryside slovenia is landlocked except for a small portion on the mediterranean which features a bike path right along the shore. and that is where we begin today's tour. the revulsion you go with a warm welcome to cope or tour guide. greets her group for the start of their bike tour along the coast of the medieval town center of coker is certainly worth taking a stroll through or in this case a ride. in the narrow alleyways old houses and splendid palaces bear witness to the town's past under venetian rule. the longest section of the route runs along a former railway line it's known as the patents on for the path of health and

friendship with. the one hundred sixteen kilometer trail connects via talian city of trialist with slovenia and from the first stop. in the highlands. we are now in easily. as you can see it's an old fishing town. steve in the division of the sea and fishing have always dominated life in this town meant traveled out to sea and brought fish and other foods back to easily. their wives stayed at home to preserve and sell the fish. that have been. on the tour continues. even on hot days there's usually a pleasant sea breeze blowing across the cycle route. the town of pier on slowly comes into view many consider it the crown jewel of the slovenian coast. but it's also the setting of a popular love story when

a wealthy venetian fell for a poor local beauty the locals gossiped about the disparity in their social standings this upset the young woman and so the venetian romeo built his juliet a mansion like those in his hometown engraved with the words la. so poor dear let them talk. and so the story found its happy ending. impede on the locals have always lived from fishing but there is another source of income. that is going to that it does me good things are as a coastal town of the town is lively right now but it wasn't always like that even in the last century the town was always deserted in summer out there really didn't shop that's because of the nearby salt. on the better season there started at the end of april around st george's day the patron saint of play it out said entire

families packed up and moved to their houses on the salt pans for the summer and for six months they performed the arduous task of salt mine before returning to pay it out in full on the input of on yesterday. the salt pans still stretch along the coast today salvini and are just as proud of their sea salt as they are of their olive oil. so the last stop on the bike tour is the grim owner of a farm run by mina forgot her family they prepared something for their visitors. time to sample the delights was a mobile but i mean there was that we're going to enjoy the olive oil from proper tasting glass but i think that with that here's how you do it but i mean that with that that you know hold the glass in your hand to warm the oil. and the light in swill it gently on them as a human. the living with the cold the in the smell it'll put your whole nose into

the glass it's mel still fresh like freshly cut grass open with a dip of course if it's mills like that we can taste it. i think the two o'clock i think that's what they're going to call what did you taste when did you get all bitterness that's the end exactly that's the antioxidants they're good for the body and these antioxidants have that bitter taste. like typical slovenian treats served to welcome guests olive oil trouble salt and bread. simple yet delicious. the day is drawing to a close the cycling tourists raise their glasses and a toast to the end of their tour.
