facets that aren't always that apparent. but then has countless restaurants like the sardine bar here sardines and other fish and seafood to serve right from the tin there are more than seventy different types which. is very proud of. him 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'd best book in advance. no no to the district of. things here are a bit more colorful than in many other parts of the city walls pose an opportunity for all of his trip there a shop selling handmade clothes and accessories and a textile shop called ocean. if it has ever been i'm a vegetarian so it was quite a 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. are in fact quite another. doesn't. the district of who ensured housing is a great place to relax and 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 who were designed in germany. neighboring district of vice of the sea is rich in natural beauty spot he takes its name from a lake that's popular for bathing it's a world 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 eleventh century these sites were at the center of the trade networks between northern and western europe today seven viking houses and 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. the viking settlement of haines or blue once numbered among the foremost early medieval trading centers in northern europe. died showed visitors how the vikings went about their daily lives over a thousand years ago. and live near it was

a life in and with nature but 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 ones come forth and can. pay to do lies in. northern germany. seven facts to roof wooden houses have been faithfully reconstruction. of the settlement was built at the end of the shoreline and inlet on the baltic sea. it was a strategic location for trading precious metals weapons and pelt today it's a treasure trove fabiana jests. behind me lies here

of a viking age settlement in the ninth tenth and eleventh centuries with the first glance it doesn't look like much because it's just a green meadow but issues 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 drugs and still the smiths are not for example the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit his. apartment for the purpose of british 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 someone cosmopolitan and it's. very rare for to have to. be in the hands craft with very highly developed and that indicates they were not just worry is definitely a cultured people they are quick to look for a come on. the down of a canny hay to do is another significant archeological site from the viking age. it consists of earthworks walls and trenches which in some thirty kilometer. fortifications date back some one thousand g. is it can best be explored by bicycle. and the down a vehicle was built to protect the just land peninsula against invading. the donovan was the longest lasting border of the middle ages and the best preserved in its various phases as my saying here the best waldemar small for example was

a very innovative construction for the time. they had already gone to build with bricks in the twelfth century. the site gives us a unique insight into how the vikings lived. finds indicate this was once home to a global trading talent. here in haiti but we from mercury has that came from western afghanistan. we also found us of bronze and were brought here from the white sea air was seen. 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 wares and trading groups came together and dispersed again for 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 our viking site you can go on a very special hiking tour through the wardens see every six hours the tide changes drastically their use of the ebb and flow of the tides it's then possible to walk far into the mud flats when the tide is going out hiking directly on the sea bed. 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 seems low point for where 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. were all in the mud now if you look back there you'll see a whole sticking up on the horizon you see that's where we're headed it's going to be interesting. they walk nearly two and a half kilometers out on to the mom flats. above the water's already rising we have to make sure we arrive on time and go on. to high no one says guest 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 mud flats that was visible was a much larger island a few doors off. if we were out there on it now we'd be entirely surrounded by

water. now the water is pushing in our direction we'll probably see another the whole width on the horizon is changed again it changes from minute to minute wherever the water isn't rippled it's moving fast it's. how much water would you guess has to flow in per minute between order night and used and between work i'm used. to submerge this vast area of the mudflats only reason not to think one of us up with if that happens three or four times a day it was low tide just a moment ago and now he comes the high tide. we decided the tides move such a mess. of amount of water in here from the north sea and in six hours and twenty minutes i can cover an area of mud flats eleven caves in that direction when i was twenty one over there and thirty case 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

a tidal ebb and flow no let's move on to higher ground. and now all the way to the left move off. gone through the water now turn around and you can see how it wobbles and rushes. do you see. it was. ok get funds evenin changing from minute to minute we can't stay here much longer let's go over to the other side of the low and when you go through the water in the east walk like a store and you along 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 haven't known draw a line well move look 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 don

bends in the field by the time i get across this entire area will have gone on out then your wife but i will be safe here you can see the waves and be quiet as a mouse i've done can you hear the water flowing or since. it's not hard to hear the incoming tide. it looks so peaceful that many visitors underestimate the speed of the approaching water the situation can sweep people come to life threatening. now we can go to acknowledge across here to the other side so we can have

a look at. the group quickly zigzags they way back to the island high knows exactly where the ground is saif. thank you i'll move in the hollow right behind me. don't go up higher to the left i'll have to walk through the water a little movement in those not my boy 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 fest with dangles and later hosen big brass bands and hearty meals but even outside the beer fest season very attracts tourists with those mountains lakes and castles 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

a king's dream that's the name of an exhibition at the center of but they were in history which explores the various 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 was fine for the lower of bavaria 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 dimension feast for we could see. the house of the royal family of

bavaria 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 is now in particular became to appear to me of the national costume the very it was portrayed as a place in which a spy and 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 that everything else is added to them the lifestyle the shu popular which developed from accounts for singles into apartments and to top things off logic the second fairy tale castles only. the famous king is still fundamental to bavarians 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. but they are 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. are far away from the hustle and bustle of munich down to earth very end soon would like to get away from it all. can stay at a mountain then like the five i am. here over a local beer and in good company you can use over the nature of the quintessential the very end. of a very and cannot be transplanted someplace else he's at home there and he's ground up there chicks oak alexander phone home when he was in south america he said he

hearts mountains the highest range in northern germany at an altitude of more than one thousand one hundred forty me says the balkan is its highest peak i'm chugging up the mountain some of the last few steam locomotives here in europe which is still in service while the passengers sit the 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 broke. inside the engine room it's

hot and dirty it's fueled 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. second hardly i heard on the radio that they were looking for stokers so i decided to apply and was lucky enough to get picked for. 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 mountain 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. 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 all the finish that's not even three metres wide. the old child hole is also worth a visit originally established as a should be a house it was the town's venue for dances performances and celebrations also spend

some winters here in venice. but the city center is not all there is to see the old castle 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. box. has no time for that now he's already on his way back up the broken into the snow. will be back tomorrow with another trip through another european country. next special edition of euro next a trip. to the italian capital. of museum pays tribute to the famous latin lover casanova. and the city of naples is the birthplace of
