including the courts. 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 former church of syntagma. the finnish 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 show nevada we find one of their lives more bizarre exhibit a lipstick museum run by a makeup artist and writer in a car here he divulged is the make up secrets of former film divas and other celebrities many left

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 this has countless restaurants like the serbian bar. deans and other fish and seafood to serve right from the tin there are more than seventy different types which own atomosphere 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 or free to leave. things here are a bit more colorful than in many other parts of the city walls pose an opportunity for all to trip there a shop selling handmade clothes and accessories and

a textile shop called ocean it. 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. piece in the district of out who 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 who were designed in germany. can a bring district of vice and see is rich in natural beauty spot it takes its name from a lake that's popular for bathing it's a wild away from city life though not very far 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 x. fortress back in the 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 wind has. built wooden ships with the simplest of to. the viking settlement of haines a blue once numbered among the foremost early medieval trading centers in northern

europe. died show visitors how the vikings went about their daily lives over a thousand years ago. were in leave 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 he ruined it for her income. paid to do lies in. northern germany. seven facts two 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 here of a viking age settlement in the ninth tenth and eleventh centuries in the first glance it doesn't look like much because it's just a green meadow but there's usually an 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 rather than still the smiths are not for example the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit is. a present from the president 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 somewhat cosmopolitan and it's. very rare for the half to. the handicraft with very highly developed and that indicates they were not just worrying is definitely a culture i'd say are. the done 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. fortifications date back some one thousand years they can best be explored by bicycle. and the down a vehicle was built to protect the jet land peninsula against invaders. began

a very 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 already gone to build with bricks in the twelfth century. the site gives us a unique insight into how the vikings lived. the archaean know. findings indicate this was once home to a global trading power. here in haiti but we found mercury holes that came from western afghanistan. of bras before and were sprouted from the white sea air was seen it. comes in so as a trading say 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 we had. paid to do proofs that the vikings were not just. shrewd 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 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. kind of 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 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. all of them are now if you look back there you'll see a pull 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 man flats. above the water's already rising we have to make sure we arrive on time and go on. high no one sees guests to save at this strange place and see how fast everything changes though doesn't mean that this is the one sees deepest point. in the time it took us to get from back there down here the scene level has risen about forty centimeters back there you can still see

a little patch of the mud flats 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 from ca i think the whole with the horizon has changed again north of the main changes from minute to minute wherever the water isn't rippled it's moving fast. but how much water would you guess has to flow in per minute between order night and used and between work used. to submerge this vast area of the mudflats only reason going. on the loss of progress that happens three or four times a day it was low tide just a moment ago and now here comes the high tide. the good side 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 months eleven caves in that direction 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. through the water now turn around and you can see how it all goes in russia. do you see. if there are. no good 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 law and when you go through the water in the east walk like a store. 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 no draw a line well move that up and you stand behind it looking in that direction. well.

then the young lad can see the water coming straight towards you don then who then doesn't by the time i get across this entire area will have gone and then your wife but i will be safe here you can see the waves and be quiet as a mouse can you hear the water flowing or stand still it's not hard to hear the incoming tide and if. it looks so peaceful that many visitors underestimate the speed of the approaching water this situation can sweep people become life threatening.

now we can go diagonally across here to the other side so we can have a look at. the group quickly zigzags they way back to the island hi now knows exactly where the ground is saif. i live 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 composed of the voice once again the high no bearing has brought everyone safely back before the time which is 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 its mountains lakes and castles now too out of a series of 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 cliches. it is of the theory and straight out of a coffee table book traditional costumes and customs and stunning scenery those are the things people associate with various and they've helped make it one of germany's most popular vacation destinations 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 the. i don't know what you call it a costume but it's good looking the barrier it's such a build of area in this and all of the street and all of the houses that were the

people so fantastic really enjoy it. woods mountains and a king's dream that's the name of an exhibition at the center of that they were in history which explores but there is legendary status. two hundred fifty items are on display here to 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 or 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 this connection was markedly far beyond germany's borders. football with all the city images generated still stick in people's minds to this

day trip from feast for we could see. the 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 the southern german state leader who is now in particular became to appear to me of the national costume the very it was portrayed as an it didn't take place we just by various mystic status was created by man not by the gods as 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 shoe popular which developed from accounts for singles into apartments and to top things off look to the second fairy tale castles. 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 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 very end soon 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 end. of

a very and cannot be transplanted someplace else while he's at home there and he's grounded there chicks oak and alexander phone home when he was in south america he said he would never take up a very in mountain guide with him because they got homesick a big deal. 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 still practiced here. visitors from around the world are welcome to join in. we try 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 hearts 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 from 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 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 broken. inside the engine room it's hot and dirty it's field 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 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 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 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. 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 guests 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 town hole is

also worth a visit originally established as 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 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 now he's already on his way back. into the snow. will be back tomorrow with another trip through another european country. next special edition of your own next. visit to the italian capital.
