also why shawls and was declared a unesco world heritage site in two thousand and two. and the port you'll find a real eye catcher the gorge fuck a former training sailing boat built in one thousand nine hundred thirty three and these planks could talk the captain's cabin has seen german russian and ukrainian skippers rest there waiting at. the vessel was built and hamburg and was given to the soviet union as reparation after world war two in one thousand nine hundred one it became property of the ukrainian merchant navy. since two thousand and three the course fox has been back in its original harbor serving first and foremost as a museum the vessel which is not sea worthy anymore is maintained by an association that hopes to one day bring the old lady back to see.

the building you see right behind me was built several decades after the course fought but it's just as impressive since opening its doors in two thousand and eight the old has welcomed over half a million visitors a year and once inside he'll understand why prepare to enter the underwater world. speeding time in the o.t. on the ohms large pool for shoaling fish there has to be enough food to satisfy the upper died of the two hundred fifty kilos sand darger shark otherwise it will eat the macro. there are forty five aquariums here the biggest contains almost twenty six million liters of salt water and is the museum's main attraction . the foundations were laid for the old see on

a human september two thousand and six on the peninsula. less than two years later the museum was opened with nine thousand square meters of exhibition space and german chancellor angela merkel attended the opening. since then the o.t.r. new york has become an integral part of trout isn't. behind the scenes numerous employees keep it up and running the old siani rooms residents need about ten tons of food a year fish kristie asian squid and dry food. i moved in with this summer feisty and others more hesitant so we have to make sure they all get their fair share. this oceanographic museum focuses on marine life in the north and baltic sea. among the visitors are both tourists and locals.

and children can come here for classes outside the normal school curriculum that's great for us and straws and they can study biology in the old see our nails in the room. and by informing people about the world's oceans the museum also aims to help protect them. this building was an abbey until the sixteenth century later it was mostly used as an arsenal armory and school in the one nine hundred fifty st catherine's monastery was turned into a museum. the most remarkable of its countless exhibits is this viking treasure that was discovered after a storm washed up on the neighboring island of hidden see. this invited

treasure doing and. that's what. they didn't say treasure came to because back in eight hundred seventy three a woman went to a goldsmith here and. wanted to know what one of the pieces was worth as it looked a bit like gold. and the goldsmith fetched who was the museum's first ever director that would buy a wood because he immediately knew it had been made by vikings more and more at peace. as mysteriously came to light so the museum director went to hidden say bargained with the fisherman and managed to acquire sixteen of these amazing pieces of jewelry for this museum shaft sifton tight it is a toy and smokes yeah investors do you know what everything is someone i can tell that's a necklace but with the rest you'll have to help me buy them best wasn't enough to win yeah that would occur and then early see recognized is the only piece that's really solid gold. it consists of several gold rods twisted together

and we had the most beautiful object in the entire ensemble. accountable roach used as a class for an outer garment that might have. the backing from franconia and quarter tire this round fibula was used in their clothing. and that's what i've been the scandinavians originally had two oval fibula or didn't die and then we have these pendants they have properly so you can hang them on a chain as if you had. come and often and you be sure this treasure is in one piece or could there still be some gold buried in the sand and hidden in the. board with a stick to the down hope that we still hope we might find another piece if you look at the pendant you can see they're not all identical they're very similar but

they're so skillfully crafted that i'm very into zein i think about the yen with them and often also if you assume they have been symmetrically arranged on a chain it's like a two or more pieces are definitely missing. one for life maybe someone from hidden say it's one of those pieces in a jewelry box and this is a tile or some gotcha is this kind of gold treasure unique dish was under is there something similar elsewhere in germany or europe. as. i am sad. a treasure like the one we have here is unique the vikings tended to work in silver and so an ensemble of jewelry in pure gold is incomparable but it's almost pure gold we've analyzed the materials if you look closely at the pieces you'll see it's the highest quality goldsmiths aren't you could expect from that time music ones. to these outside of africa.

setting out to see the famous chalk cliffs from the water. but unfortunately today is not my day the sun can't get through the mist and clouds . but it's certainly striking the way they tower majestically out of the water. look it's chalk cliffs form with our will leave the islands most spectacular coastline but the chalk is also a natural raw material with many useful applications and you treatments for example . slogans chalk cliffs were created sixty eight million years ago in southern europe through the shifting of tectonic plates the chalk upon suits were pushed to the north during glacial

periods they were thrust to the surface the chalk is made from the remains of tiny marine organisms. has occurred just for the last line and this truck is especially pure because no other sediments were dragged into this basin with it. and there are those for the last one hundred fifty meters or truck sediment sitting here on the surface. and some of them are up to one hundred sixty meters above sea level but the militia and there's only one place in germany where they exist and that's here on the island of korea that does a sea of it's always. been even has a museum devoted to chalk it's been mined here for almost two hundred years chalk is used as fertilizer in paint and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. to process the chalk it's soaked in water separated from undesired components and dried what used to take eight weeks now takes about eight minutes. for medicinal

chalk only especially fine material is used after it's been additionally cleaned what remains as the museum informs visitors are mainly residues a planktonic form enough era these single celled animals had skeletons made of small calcite platelets when the organisms died they sank to the seabed and formed the chalk sediment. physiotherapist york snyder from sasnett has been using hogans medicinal chalk since the early one nine hundred ninety s. this natural product dissolved in water is said to stimulate the heart and circulation and have an anti inflammatory effect. on vanity you know what it's used as a poultice on the back or joints warm or cold if you're experiencing a rheumatic episode for instance it's applied cold where more about her chronic conditions it tends to be used to warm or cool. and. the
