it's really frightening thought. that. why aren't people more concerned. to 1st of all you. know this is the city of minster in the state of north rhine-westphalia it's also notice germany's bicycle capital because there are twice as many bikes ask people.

there's a huge bicycle rental parking and service garage right at the central train station . it's got room for 3300 bikes very convenient especially for commuters. you can have your cycle repaired serviced or even washed it's all here. and tourists like me can even rent a bike to explore the city. moonstone was founded 1200 years ago this is where great european history once took place but in matters of environmental protection the also has a great reputation and is considered a green city sounds like an exciting day to me. we'll also spend time in the surrounding area known as most of them will see lots of lovely cast. and visit

a diving park where you can explore and on the water world. also see the spectacular scenery of newfoundland sent in by a viewer. i thought the best place to start my tour was the problem enough it sort of missed us bicycle highway and circles the outskirts of the old town. moonstone may be old but its population is young off the city's 300000 inhabitants 60000 our students nearly everyone here writes of cycling paths crisscrossed the city and the direction of signage is excellent. the cutie pie i mocked in the heart of the old town is considered one of the most beautiful squares in germany the gabled housing estate back to the days of the hands at a clique. a splendid example of late gothic

architecture st lumbee at the east church. the town hall was the site of an important event in the 17th century. in recognition of that it was awarded the european heritage label. in the council chamber known as the phaeton today i have an appointment with historian funs jules if jack will be. back and what happened here in this room in 1648. indeed. the thought of the peace of westphalia was signed in this room namely the special piece a separate piece between a spanish habsburg spawn and the rebellious calvinist northern provinces of the netherlands. let's go over here. we go

beyond the barrier. this isn't a picture of a council chamber just as you also see it now and the swearing of the oath of the ratification of the contractual document is in this can't get done here to swearing on the bible as you see on the right the dutch are raising their hands to take their oath from where they all look so alike they have the same hairstyle was that usual for the time. if you look closely they do differ of course. the dutch are wearing more mercantile clothing and the spanish wearing the diplomatic garb of the time are 5 why did that piece mean for europe at that time. their freedom flows the 1st an illusion of the peace of westphalia the great overall peace agreement put an end to the 30 years war. many of spoken of the fact that it was also the birth of international law an essential point was recognition

the absolute guarantee of the independence of sovereign nations. start with what was significant about it. wouldn't conflict lugosi ations were used to resolve the conflict up there was no cease fire until this peace agreement was reached. and you could negotiate a peace treaty without that being clear victors and vanquished. that was unique at the time. it. played a big part in that event what does that mean to the minister of modern day. we force a lot about the relevance of events back then to the present day and in my view it boils down to various that it is possible to resolve conflicts through negotiation instead of violence stop to provide we highlight that central value in the commemorative events that take place every year getting. up. and munster is

offering itself as a place of negotiations for solving conflicts worldwide for him to some extent that has already begun by. well before i hop on my bike again there are still some time for all me to local thought our bureaus. of the capital of europe white want to be there by the way according to the study it's the city with the highest quality of life in south america. welcome you to montevideo the capital of new york walk audience a little white. you know my diego gamboa i'm columbia and but moved here 6 years ago because the city is laid back safe and beautiful it's not a d.c. mosque that i'd love to show you around but you're not going to say let's go. and play some of us were starting out over on the plaza independencia the city's main

reconstructed by 1956 by the way it's a catholic bishop. i've been given special permission to go behind the altar to the cathedral it's where the bishop sits journeying mess. time for a coffee break twice a week on wednesdays and saturdays there's a market set up front of the cathedral. you can pick up homemade delicacies and organic products much of it comes from and so surroundings the moon. which is also worth exploring because there are more than $100.00 castles and palaces of course the best way to do a trip to the countryside is by bike. minister

not to the region around so flat you almost run along with no effort her health costs of as a typical. cost of a famous german poet was born here about 200 years ago i met a fund to herself. she actually wrote her poems in a small country house lucia 6 kilometers from the castle. we're now entering and that has a very private living and work room she called it her snail shells. many of the consuls and palaces is surrounded by mountains like fishing. the castle which dates from the 16th century one of the largest and oldest castles in munster land. and this is known as the versailles of westphalia not kill sion palace of a rock residence.

several of the rooms are open to the public. in others people study because not kill palace is also home to a state run technical college. and has $4500.00 kilometers of bicycle paths one popular destination is valid all for the horse capital of germany and tourists from all over the world come here because it's a center of whole spreading and equestrian sports. some 100000 horses are said to live in manchester land more than almost anywhere in europe horses have been bred at the north rhine-westphalia and state started for nearly 200 years. you can take a tour of the stud farm. there are 160 horses in residence used

as breeding stock and to train professional writers. but whether on a horse or a bicycle the best way to explore minister land is in the saddle. and . i've got another appointment now i'm here to meet city councilor much us pick one of his areas of responsibility is sustainability and so naturally he's come to our appointments fire by. the pic but how come every one of the cycles bob isn't tied or leave school cycling is. just part of the minster lifestyle for everyone from the mayor to the bishop to city employees rides a bike as far because it's the fastest way to get around here. but what can traffic planners from other places learn from unstuck. now one of what we have

a wonderful infrastructure for cyclists and it starts with a promise not. to run the old town. there are a cycling street set of 400 kilometer network of cycle paths in the months to area and we have to allocate a lot of money to expand the network and that's why the also. has also want to words for climate protection and its energy policy what have you done to achieve that and i know that one measure is the change in pension funds for employees and staff in the city of a minister if you have a council consciously decided on diesel and c o 2 neutral investment or avoiding child labor avoiding businesses that invest in a moment in order to point the way to climate protection and sustainability know how to cut so that. climate protection has a long tradition in one state since the late 1990 s. when we even had a department in the city administration devoted to the climate and energy and we engage the public in discussions on these issues issues such as wind turbines we

have our own combined cycle power plant and funding programs for solar energy so it is a central focus. is considered a green city how much is that the result of citizen involvement. we're very interested in discussing and even deciding fundamental questions with our citizens that's also because we have a very young city with many university students but also a very committed city which weighs in on many social issues and we're quite proud of that. are you always bike or do you have a car if you have a car very rarely i drive less than $5000.00 kilometers a year thanks for your time. and off we go. well and now we had to do the wild made sure canada from ottawa was travelling with some friends to newfoundland and has captured his oppressions of this green island
