as an arsenal armory and school in the one nine hundred fifty s. st catherine's monastery was turned into a museum. the most remarkable of its countless exhibits this viking treasure was discovered after a storm washed up on the neighboring island of hidden see. this in viking treasure doing and she wasn't to. be hidden say a treasure came to see because back in eight hundred seventy three a woman went to a goldsmith hearing. 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 . because he immediately knew it had been made by vikings on more and more pieces. 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 i mean less innocent enough to win. a con never see recognized is the only piece that's really solid gold. it consists of several gold rods twisted together and we have the most beautiful object in the entire ensemble. accountable roach used as a class for an outer garment that might have. the backing from franconian court attire 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. then we have these pendants they have properly things so you can hang them

on a chain as if you have. come and often and you'll be sure this treasure is in one piece or could there still be some gold buried in the sand and hidden in the. board for stick to the down hope that my not that we still hope we might find another piece after 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 zine i think about the yen when they're mcguffin although if you assume they have been symmetrically arranged on a chain stock of two or more pieces are definitely missing a few folks buying a stock or one for life maybe someone from hidden say it's one of those pieces in a jewelry box this is a tile or some god shot is this kind of gold treasure you need to under is there something similar elsewhere in germany or europe. as. a treasure like the one we have here is unique the vikings tended to work in silver

so an ensemble of jewelry in the pure gold is incomparable but it's almost pure gold we've analyzed the materials if you look closely at the pieces we'll see it's the highest quality goldsmiths aren't you could expect from that time. which is outside of our. truck out some of our favorite travel perks on instagram. d w travel. before continuing my travels i need to replenish my energy reserves and for that i'm going to try to local specialty i don't know if i have been told i have to try the bismark herring yes you must or maybe even sherry matches in the i don't think i'll go for the bismarck i've heard so much about it so often heard yeah no one in

bismarck of bismarck sure thing i bismarck. the name goes back to mark the first chancellor of a united germany he loved them apparently. and then given the matches to try to. lie has or does special has it amazing to get through but i think it's well pickled so it's nice and sour and the skin is still on the way it should be. so delicious. full and happy i get on the road this bridge connects to the island of luton and to prepare you for my next destination here's a little overview. google news germany's largest island manlike zone does in the state of mechlin book for almost eighty thousand people live here added to that are far more than

a million tourists annually the sandy beaches can get really full in the summer but things are quite relaxed in the winter. and the island is known for its distinctive chalk cliffs they rise up over one hundred meters above the sea and are part of the national park. information center lies above the cliffs. it takes you through seventy million years of the earth's history from the primordial era to the present. beyond the coasts going to is also shaped by its landscapes. the island alone has three nature reserves.

and the rushing roland is another of logan's attractions. the steam train has travelled the narrow gauge track since one thousand nine hundred five had a pace more leisurely and then its name implies. one of the places that wasn't all and takes is to go on its hunting lodge. the building in italian renaissance style dates from the nineteenth century and became a popular destination for the nobility and celebrities back then. autobahn bismarck is said to have climbed to one hundred fifty steps in its tower to enjoy the view. like other seaside resorts going to has benefited from tourism since the early boom in the late nineteenth century. former villages like selling then bins developed

into fashionable baltic sea spas with their magnificent villas near the beach. leaving white wooden decorations are typical of the architecture associated with seaside resorts. in eight hundred seventy bins had a total of eighty vacationers nowadays he can add over half a million to that but in winter i can barely imagine what this must look like in summer. because as you can see in the low season things are just like back in the day no people know how slow and bustle just perfect if you're looking for some peace and quiet.

legs chocolates form with our will leave the islands most specs. but the chalk is also a natural raw material with many useful applications for example. cliffs were created six million years ago in southern europe through the shifting of tectonic plates the chalk deposits were pushed to the north. they were thrust to the surface. made from the remains of tiny marine organisms. especially 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 in religion and there's only one place in germany where they exist and that's here on the island of kruger does a sea of that is all you. can even has

a museum devoted to chuck 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 sas in its has been using her against medicine of chalk since the early one nine hundred ninety s.
