a walk across the mud flats. and discover the carrier visits the southern german state breaks in for the ship. for a first german holiday destination we're staying right here in the capital berlin has so much to offer that as a tourist it's hard to know where to start every district has its own particular flair and collection of quirky attractions so we're going on a little round trip and start off in one of the city's liveliest areas quite spared which is teeming with artists. but living has plenty to sing. including the cloyd. the hill stand sixty six meters above the city and lends its name to the surrounding district.

it's extremely popular with artists you find digs additions in all sorts of places like here inside the form a church of syntagma. the finished gallery shows contemporary art here targeting the younger generation. as if we currently have thirty eight artists on our books all of them making contemporary art many of them come from abroad but now live in berlin. these playful wooden sculptures were made by swiss artist claudia. not far away in the district of shana back we find one of millions more bizarre exhibit a lipstick museum run by makeup artist and writer and renee called he and he divulges the make up secrets of former film divas and of a celebrity many left a lipstick kids instead of an autograph. it was when i got to know hildegard naif that i became

a serious collector i did her makeup for over thirty years and advised her on fashion and style. one day she said to me that she'd done an advert for lipstick before i was even born it was for the folks left unchecked meaning people slipstick or vo for short the headline in the popular bill tabloid was that men have v.w. so now the women have video. and this is it here it cost one mark fifty back that. the berlin underworld the satiation maintains a permanent exhibition in a former storage area off a subway station it documents hitler's architectural plans for the capital he appointed his chief architect and about share as general building inspector. history in the present is a major topic in. this exhibition is intended to make a small contribution to it whether on a stroll through town or visiting from elsewhere by revealing some of the many

facets that aren't always that apparent. but then has countless restaurants like the sardine bar. deane's and other fish and seafood to serve right from the tin there are more than seventy different types which owner thomas is very proud of . as i got the idea for a sardine bar while on holiday in lisbon portugal. there aren't many tables so if you're interested you best book in advance. no no to the district a fleet of. things here are a bit more colorful than in many other parts of the city walls pose an opportunity for all to trip there are shops selling handmade clothes and accessories and a textile shop called. if it has ever been i'm a vegetarian so it was quite humorous thing to do and i seem to have captured

people's imaginations it also fits in with the site because things appear to be one thing. in fact quite another face garnishment doesn't. the district of idaho ensured housing is a great place to relax many would no doubt love to live in this bungalow at least it's open to the public it was the last place bauhaus architect responded hola designed in germany. can they bring district of vice and see is rich in natural beauty spawning he takes its name from a lake that's popular bathing it's a wild away from city life though not very fun from the city center. and that's just scratching the surface of this wonderful city are cold so make sure to visit some day now we're headed further north to soak up some ancient history near the german danish border you can get an accurate picture of how vikings lived

over one thousand years ago at the height of two settlement and the dawn of act four trips back in the eighth to eleventh century these sites were the center of the trade networks between northern and western europe today seven viking houses on the landing bridge invite visitors to experience what life was like back then. viking's life was not for the fainthearted the men hunted for food with bows and arrows. hand-made clothes and cloth kept them warm during the cold winters. vikings built wooden ships with the simplest of to. the viking settlement of haines a blue once numbered among the foremost in the medieval trading centers in northern europe. died sure visitors how the vikings went about their daily lives over a thousand years ago. were and live near it was

a life in and with nature they had an incredibly sharp power of observation they were very well acquainted with the materials around them and knew how to use them to their advantage to build housing ships and wagons and make rope. they made a great many things that we could hardly even imagine today the real and come forth and. paid to do lies in. dine in northern germany. seven infectious roof wooden houses have been faithfully reconstructed. the settlement was built at the end of the shoreline an inlet on the baltic sea. it was a strategic location for trading precious metals weapons and pelt today it's a treasure trove of jests. behind me the eyes heat

of a viking age settlement in the ninth tenth and eleventh centuries well the first glance it doesn't look like much because it's just a green meadow but it's usually in archaeology the real treasures lie underground and here behind us there isn't a square centimeter that doesn't contain archaeological finds. and we always say hey that was archaeologically contaminated. in the nearby viking museum visitors can inspect many of the original artifacts. it's one of chalets because shine is the most popular museum. over one hundred thousand people come and usually in search of the real vikings. the museum shows the vikings highly developed from the sun still the smiths are not for example the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit is. a question for you unlike the classic image of the vikings as warriors what i find after such an intense examination here is that

above all they were internationally trading europeans even somewhat cosmopolitan. in this i have to ask you how the handcraft with very highly developed and that indicates they were not just worry is definitely a culture they are quick to acquire come on. the down of a canny hate abou is another significant archeological site from the viking age. it consists of earthworks walls and trenches reaching some thirty kilometers. or fortifications date back some one thousand years they can best be explored by bicycle. down a vehicle was built to protect the just land peninsula against invaders. but the donovan was the longest lasting border of the middle ages and the best preserved in its various phases as we see here the best waldemar zwolle for example was

a very innovative construction for the time. they had gone to build with bricks in the twelfth century. the site gives us a unique insight into how the vikings lived. findings indicate this was once home to a global trading palla. here in haiti but we found mercury holes that came from western afghanistan. we also found us of brass and were spotted from the white sea . and so as a trading hateable was something like the major ports of hamburg in rotterdam are today. in the gun someplace where all kinds of ways and trading groups came together and dispersed again we had. paid to build proofs that the vikings were not just. strangers and people who lived in harmony with nature.

always stay in northern germany for some wonderful nature just a little further southwest from a viking site you can go on a very special hiking tour through the wardens see every six hours the tide changes drastically their tours of the ebb and flow of the tides it's then possible to walk fall into the mud flats when the tide is going out hiking directly on the seabed. high no bearing is taking his guests on a special kind of to he's going to show them how to land become sea and the sea land. now we're headed out at the water on sea is low point for we're going now later this afternoon the water will be about this high above our heads. nobody knows the mudflats around the north sea island of houston like hina bearing his father before him was also

a mudflats guide and whenever he was ill hina had to take the first time was when he was just eleven and that was almost six decades ago. all in the mud now if you look back there you'll see a whole stocking up on the horizon you see it that's where we're headed it's going to be interesting. they walk nilita. two and a half kilometers out on to the month flats. above the water's already rising we have to make sure we arrive on time and go on. high no one seems guess to save at this strange place and see how fast everything changes. this is the one sees deepest point. in the time it took us to get from back there down here the sea level has risen about forty centimeters back there you can still see a little patch of the mudflats that was visible as a much larger island. if we were out there on it now we'd

be entirely surrounded by water. now the water is pushing in our direction. always on the horizon has changed again it changes from minute to minute wherever the water isn't rippled it's moving fast. how much water would you guess has to flow in per minute between order ny and used and between used. to submerge this vast area of the mudflats only reason going about there. were lots of that happens three or four times a day it was low tide just a moment ago and now here comes the high tide. we decided the tides move such a massive amount of water in here from the north sea in six hours and twenty minutes but it can cover an area of mud flats eleven caves in that direction or twenty one over there and thirty k. s. and not direction to an average of between two meters forty and two meters. that's a gigantic mass of water unimaginable it shows the power of the title ebb and flow

if you have a look now let's move on to higher ground and now all the way to the left of our main room. gone through the water now turned around and you can see how it wobbles and rushes. do you see. it was. ok get funding of needs changing from minute to minute we can't stay here much longer let's go over to the other side of the law and when you go through the water and on the east walk like a store you know long don't try to push your way through or the water will start running over your boots though you know this is still flat enough that you can get over there easily. but you have it now all draw a line well movement not up and you stand behind it looking in that direction. i thought. then that i'm glad i can see the water coming straight towards you down

then who then doesn't by the time i get across this entire area will have gone out then your wife but i will be safe here you can see the waves and be quiet as a mouse a gun can you hear the water flowing or stand still it's not hard to hear the incoming tide music. it looks so peaceful that many visitors underestimate the speed of the approaching water the situation can swiftly become life threatening. now we can go diagonally across here to the other side so we can have

a look at. the good quickly zigzags they way back to the island high knows exactly where the ground is saif. thank you i'll move them hollow right behind me. don't go up higher to the left i'll have to walk through the water a little nothing because not only once again the high no bearing has brought everyone psychically back before the time reaches the island. well now that we've explored the north let's venture south to the state of area most people associate it with the annual october first with down those and later hosen big brass bands and hearty meals but even outside the beer fest season very attracts tourists with those mountains lakes and councils now to anniversaries have prompted a special celebration one hundred years ago the free state was founded and two hundred years ago the state's constitution was written to mark the double

anniversary an exhibition called the myth of bavaria explores the low and legends behind the cliché. that theory and straight out of a coffee table book traditional costumes and customs and stunning scenery those are the things people associate with very much and they've helped make it one of germany's most popular vacation destination tourists never tire of the state and its people its fairytale castles and varian lifestyles not to mention its famous. shorts good very good looking specially the al fit with the strap with. i don't know what you call it a costume but it's good looking the barry is such a builder for area this and all the street and all of the houses that were the people so fantastic really enjoy. the woods

mountains and a king's dream that's the name of an exhibition at the center of a very in history which explores but there is legendary status so two hundred fifty items are on display here they show for instance how hunters and lumberjacks cultivated the inhospitable landscape. farmers often lived from what they could reap from the forests was vital as both a construction material and an art but it was landscape painting. in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries the turns but there is forests lakes and mountains into dream destinations in which is fine for the lower of bavaria and it connects the pine region with a certain lifestyle and connection was marketed far beyond germany's borders. with all the city images generated still stick in people's minds to this day trip from the mention feast. house of the royal family of the

various contributed to local pride and patriotism pen around as folk festivals traditional costumes and beer steins came to symbolize this southern german state leader who's now in particular became to appear to me of the national constant the very it was portrayed as an it did like place we just by various mystic status was created by man not by the gods you know some other myths claim it's the only thing in the bulgarian myth that did not come from humans as the mountain and they play a big role in everything else is added to them the lifestyle the shu popular which developed from a dance for singles into apartments and to top things off look to the second fairy tale castles with. the famous king is still fundamental to the various image today he built noise council the state's most famous structure it attracts some one point four million visitors

a year then there's october fest every fall some six million revelers come to raise a toast the theory and style. that they were also famous for its tours. and its soccer team byron munich germany's most successful soccer club has fans around the world. but these alpine meadows near. are far away from the hustle and bustle of munich down to earth but very end soon would like to get away from it all. i can stay at a mountain then like the five i am. here over a local beer and in good company you can muse over the nature of the quintessential the very idea. that bad all about harry and cannot be transplanted someplace else or he's at home there and he's grounded their electric soak and alexander for home when he was in south america he said he would never take

a bulgarian mountain guide with him because they got homesick. at the many ends in the valley tourists can discover more of a very interesting like the shoe clapped out a traditional style of folk dancing that's still practiced here. visitors from around the world are welcome to join in. memphis nothing we're trying to show people what life is like in the hospitality and we try to lift their spirits so they enjoy their holiday we carry about our rates there's nothing better than bavaria gift of making this. very the place where dreams come true it's an image kept alive by tourists and the very end so like. a final stop on today's tour of germany sees us take a very special train ride in the heart of the country it goes straight through the

hearts mountains the highest range in northern germany at an altitude of more than one thousand one hundred forty meters a block on its highest peak and chugging up the mountain some of the last few steam locomotives here in europe which is still in service while the passengers sit stokers sweat so all aboard for our nostalgic trip with trusty tank engines that have been running for generations. this train is hard to miss the broken railway in the hearts mountains when you see thick plumes of smoke rising you can be sure it's on its way for the past one hundred years it has snaked through the same fantastic landscape every day and scaled the highest peak in northern germany the broken. inside the engine room it's

hot and dirty it's fuel with coal that needs to be shoveled into the one thousand five hundred degree furnace it's no easy job but make out gessner loves his work he's been working as a stoker for the narrow gauge railway since last august. chuck and i argue i heard on the radio that they were looking for stokers so i decided to apply and was lucky enough to get picked up. the train might be from the nine hundred fifty s. but it runs on a modern timetable and several times a day it climbs up the broken manton to the peak at an altitude of around eleven hundred meters in the winter the peak is often covered in snow. this makes it a special treat for passengers even if they're sometimes greeted by a snow storm at the top they just have to make sure to bundle up.

at each stop the crewman regularly carry out inspections whatever the weather. i'm sure the worst part is the wind and when the snow freezes it feels like needles pricking your face and when you get off the train you almost get blown over. fifteen minutes later the train trundles back towards the valley the next stop is very good order where me guess now lives. the colorful town in the hearts foothills has plenty of curiosities to see the crooked house that tilts even further than the leaning tower of pisa although. that's not even three metres wide. the old town hole is also worth a visit originally established as a house it was the town's venue for the performances and center. also

spend some winters here in venice. but the city center is not all there is to see the old costs are rising above the hills is another must see in the nineteenth century it was home to count. today it's been turned into a museum. but she. has no time for that he's already on his way back. into the snow. that's all from us for today i hope you've enjoyed our trip across germany will be back tomorrow with another trip through another european country. special we're off to britain where we.
