the bizarre rock formations are especially popular with climbers. there are also lots. trials for hikers you go up and down hill through sinkholes and pass castle rooms. there's a mysterious place hidden in the forest here possibly a pre-christian cult site. regularly gives guided tours of the natural wonders in franconian switzerland. also that though we have a high in the druids grove these are basically a labyrinth of rocks. it was probably originally a cave system. in prison for now there's no roof to the cave anymore so you can see all the rocks and it's definitely quite a rarity. office with

a gun safe in itself. as a you have almost this was a cia during the late jurassic period and that's where the name franconian giora comes from this feeling of there was many 1000000 years ago and these layers of limestone were deposited in the sea horses and to discuss how the rocks originated . and it's just those rocks that are going to the region it's name because it reminded people of a swiss alpine landscape crags valley is caves and small hamlets bit of switzerland in germany but franconian in character. but of. another beer. and are very certain the more you can think of

what is this beer the opening drive and don't wind up drinking a lot from the alphabet of riverine out of which is a 6 generation family run business one i love this copper color one of one this is a light. color in the glass glass and it's lovely delicate creamy head but it's really a treatment small we should try it out so absolutely i'm all for the more. just . like you should buy your ticket for 100000. how would you describe cuisine several different idea good question franconian cuisine is hearty as its goal is includes me then dumplings are served to accompany it. often it's actually cooked to have been sourced because like this one sport this is. what we often each find

a partner. pork roast is also a hearty dish that lines your stomach for the next beer sure the beer cream what's your actual job day in day out that's critical as it has been i'm not a big queen 24 hours a day actually i'm a full time teacher absolution after school is over and at weekends and during school holidays finished i travel through my realm is be a queen in. and now throughout germany to raise the region's profile and spread the word about its high quality beer and. indeed it and also i have already had a bureau to aid you as an expert might have a tip on how to not get too confused if you know what i mean. as a risk assessment it is important to line your stomach eyes with a dish like so apparently. there's a saying that you shouldn't drink beer before 4 pm but that doesn't apply it with

franken off langridge most are going to have their people often drink beer at morning get togethers. are good so you don't want to drink on an empty stomach. if i know i'll be at an event where i have to drink several beers but also i think water in between to thin out the alcohol. from the networks well. it was 2 for 2 men or and then topped off thanks and before i forget if i've got my hiking pass and there's still a stamp missing. then can you get that for me. yeah to toss in i have connected to list them what's missing in the a certificate is this right you know you know certificate a friend kenyon honoree began drinking. congratulations that's what an order the i get my pleasure this certificate makes a great mental but even better is a vacation video and that's what movie from constance has sent us he's been to mexico thank you vish here's your video.

a parish church so the focus is on the tomb of the saints. so of us what you see here is the only marble piece in the church on the lid are the recumbent figures of the 2 saints. on its side are legends surrounding the imperial castle of oxen's and. the cathedral is especially famous for this figure. so when sit and hear from here you have a lovely view of the back horseman what was so unusual about it and well 1st it was the 1st life size statues since antiquity if the writer were standing up he'd be about my size one meter 65 and about the average height for his times as i'm outside house on. whom he represents remains a mystery. bombeck was billed as a center of ecclesiastical power built like rome on 7 hills the city is therefore

also called for. the cathedral square was the political heart of palm back to this day there are magnificent buildings such as the idaho and the noise of his he did. down in the valley the citizens settled in today city center so mysterious here and now we're at the own town hall we've just come from the cathedral and episcopal town district and when we cross the river we'll be in the middle class island destruction the town hall was meant to link both parts of the town and that's why they built it in the middle of the river. and then 1st of all just giving bum back another landmark. as you know you can send us your travel videos but we also love to visit you and this time we met the musician jason wins in texas he shows us his favorite places in his hometown austin.

by a boy wagner was able to realize his long cherished. for his own festival hall at 1st he was interested in the murky opera house. it's one of the most beautiful garage theatres in the world and is a unesco world heritage site. and. it's recently been renovated and is back to its former glory. wagner want to more so he had his own opera house built every year from the end of july to the end of august wagner offense from all over the world come to the famous by a wide festival. loudness

fest in the house pool festival theater in by white. every year celebrities and v.i.p.'s graced its red carpet. it's as much a part of the festival as richard wagner's music. does is probably mainly because of this there's his acoustic sound because it's a unique authentic venue. this theatre was built by and for richard wagner well over 100 years ago now and it's still standing in the same place and basically functions just as it did in the 19th century view. that must be a major part of its fascination and that's when i was most. the pyrite festival is a media event the british era parents prince charles queen sylvia of sweden and german chancellor angela merkel have all been hand. celebrities and journalists

bachner would have loved it. the festival keeps up with the times. from 2008 to 20111 production a year was publicly screened on festival square. since 2009 there have been children's versions of the wagner's operas. and since 20121 production a year has been streamed live to cinemas. but the many 1000 i love as there is nothing better than being right there in by right. this is something whole package is fabulous the atmosphere and of course the theatre itself really considering what if i can't put it into words it's just a feeling. that's what's wonderful about music and art that they grip you

emotionally. fast you don't want to miss a minute and you have to learn wagner and that's that you have no options you know you have to you have to do it. on the right side peeled remains on the brain can some people accept years of waiting for a ticket just to be part of the glamorous welden richard wagner. my visit has come to an end in the center of by a void here at the new palace with its romantic or just garden. time. that's made from overflowing with its 1000 types of beers historic cities and beautiful landscapes very important for the region are also the people themselves they are considered hospitable and visitors like me feel comfortable here see you next time.
