including the courts back the hill stand sixty six meters above the city and bends its name to the surrounding district. it's extremely popular with artists you find exhibit sions in all sorts of places like here inside the form a church of syntagma. the chinese 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 are shown a verdict we find one of millions more bizarre exhibitions a lipstick museum run by makeup artist and writer over in a call here he divulges 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 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. is very proud of. this 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 let trip there a shop 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. garnishment doesn't. the district of horn should 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. can a bring district of vice and see 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 our 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 trysts back in the eighth and eleventh century these sites were 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. vikings 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. by kings built wooden ships with the simplest of to. the viking settlement of painted 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. 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 to be on their fourth and current. page of who lies in. northern germany. seven fetched 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 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 china's most popular museum is over one hundred thousand people come and usually in search of the real vikings. the museum shows the viking is highly developed from the sun still the smiths are not for example the pill jewelry things that often surprise visit is. a present 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 and. many of the have to finance often after the handicraft with very highly developed and that indicates they were not just worry is definitely a culture they are. coming. down a very canny hay to do is another significant archeological site from the viking age. it consists of earthworks walls and trenches which in some thirty kilometers. the fortifications date back some one thousand years they can best be explored by bicycle. and down a vehicle was built to protect the just land peninsula against invaders. 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 guns waldemar zwolle for example it 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. findings indicate this was once home to a global trading power. here in haiti but we from mercury has that came from western afghanistan. we also found bars of brass food and water stuff from the white sea. and so as a trading made of it was something like the major ports of hamburg in rotterdam out today. and they've gotten some place 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 our viking site you can go on a very special hiking tour through the warden's see every six hours the tide changes drastically there due to the ebb and flow of the tides it's then possible to walk far into the mud flats when the tardis 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 and 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 there and his father before him was also a mudflats guide and whenever he was ill hina had to take over the first time was when he was just eleven and that was almost six decades ago. although now if you look back there you'll see a whole stacking up on the horizon you see it that's where we're headed it's going to be interesting. they walk a new leaf. two and a half kilometers out on to the mt flats. above the water's already rising we have to make sure we arrive on time and go on. to get high no one sees gas to save at this strange place and see how fast everything changes. this is the water and see it's deepest point. in the time it took us to get from back there down here the sea level has risen about forty centimeters back and 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 the sea i think the whole with 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 nor deny and used and between work used. to submerge this vast area of the mud flats or these are really going out there. that happens three or four times a day it was low tide just a moment ago and now here comes the high tide. we decide the tides move such a massive amount of water in here from the north sea 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 to have a foot between two metres forty and two metres. that's a gigantic mass of water. unimaginable it shows the power of a title and then flow if you've got a live look now let's move on to higher ground and now all the way to the left are moved off. run through the water now it's going around and you can see how it wobbles and rushes. do you see. it on. the kid get funding 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 in the east walk like a store if you don't try to push your way through or the water will start running over your boots well you know this is still flat enough that you can get over there easily. well you have an owl draw a line well movement not up and you stand behind it looking in that direction. well

. then with i'm glad i can see the water coming straight towards you down then linda knew 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 a gun can you hear the water flowing or since. 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.

ok 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 high knows exactly where the ground is site i only know of 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 because most of the oil 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 down those and later hosen big brass bands and hearty meals but even outside the beer fest season attracts tourists with us 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 anniversary an exhibition called the myth of bavaria explores the low and legends behind the clichés. images of the very end 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 this state and its people its fairy tale castles and very unlined style 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 such a build

final stop on today's tour of germany sees us take a very special train ride in the huff 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 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 strain 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 houghton dirty it's field with coal that needs to be shoveled into the one thousand five hundred degree furnace it's never easy job but me have gessner loves his work he's been working as a stoker for the narrow gauge railway since last august. second 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 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 my guest now lives. the colorful town in the hearts foothills has plenty of curiosities to see like the crooked house that tilts even further than the leaning tower of pisa all the finished house that's not even three metres wide.

the old child hole is also worth a visit originally established as a sheer 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. join us for a special edition of your an accident a trip to italy visit to the italian capital. of venice museum pays tribute to
