and we'll get the show a royal touch visiting granites palace and its park near kut bush. will head over to the us to the city of san antonio. and we'll show you the e-mail sent to us from the indian city of paris. most visitors head straight to the water and i recommend you take some time to stroll through love and now. even spend the night at this beautiful 19th century castle. then it's on to the dock this is in the departure spot for the region's typical boats for more than 150 years of course taking a ride is at the very top of my list but 1st

a pit stop at what's called the pickle mile it's to go to destination for this play by its most famous product. sue couldn't get in the club yet we have some officials still pickles mustard golic host reddish mustard honey mustard or chili 2. each that has its own secret pickle recipe these gherkins are sold all around the world. next i think the classics my favorite. of the soil here in the chalet but is more than rich in nutrients ideal conditions for growing cucumbers. now i'm hopping on the next boat. first and foremost these boats are tourist attractions but they were once the only way to get around the. they have flat bottoms because the canals aren't all that

deep each property has its own moorings. legend has it that the devil dug all the channels with the help of his oxen of course that's not how they came into being they were formed by the retreating ice sheet at the end of the last ice age. such friendly people. to this day the people in this may have had to receive their mail by boat. whether intrinsics for this plane ride on one of these excursions on your own and canoe there is no better way of getting to know the over in that small canal than

from the water of course and continue to enjoy doing just that. a couple more questions for us at this point but. you can explore the spine not just by boat but by bicycle as well as a well signposted 260 kilometer can bicycle path through the reach of. the way you'll come across the stunning wooden reconstruction of the slavic castle of. the lose its key tribe built several such structures in the region during the 9th and 10th century. in the sign the museum showcases archaeological finds from the region.

the songs who are of slavic descent are an estimate minority whose culture shapes this region to this very day each february they celebrate zar post they don't traditional dresses drink dance and march from 1 home to the next. the goal is to dispel evil winter spirits. in summer time thousands front to levens famous i hold fast the boat parade is a particular highlight giving visitors a sense of how locals used to transport the harvest and livestock through the region. in the tropical islands theme park located in a form a hangar boasting the world's largest freestanding still done for that matter is

another regional tourist magnet. it's perfect for rainy days. and in 2017 alone it attracted more than half a 1000000 visitors in. my boat ride ends in the lead of one of the chalet but it's most beautiful towns. these cross snakehead on the gables are typical for the region they symbolize the snake king who's supposed to protect the locals. elate is open air museum there's a lot to learn about this place by its history and the ethnic minority it's.

greeted instore b.n. . w.g. . only called the high little don't worry i speak german as well which additionally welcome visitors with bread and salt so welcome. thanks thank you. for stepping into these replicas of original live out houses one can easily imagine what life must have been like in the 19th century 150 years ago family life took place in one single room and in one single bed then they thought they had no notion what your life would have been like if you married into a family and later you'd be sharing a bed with you in laws and your kids should he have any would sleep in your bed to lie along with your husband of course you know.

that. one of the houses is dedicated to sorby and culture and traditional stormin costumes. at this museum which was which additional live in all costumes consisting of a blue apron and underneath were a sky started out one to hawk a how you can see money is a pearl and a woman wearing this color signals that she's married as a married woman you always win muted colors whether that be blue green or purple when you thought young girls tend to wear bright shades of right my not you also were kind of clowns but without passions and this piece of cloth keeps it all together for the. museum and very interactive this is how laundry was done a 100 years ago. which is going to really push it hard against the boat again i'm

getting a good workout here imo. elaine . i don't think. it's mothers who now if the sups of the wind and sunshine can draw everything. came a great day. the head of the museum stefan heinz tells me a bit more about tradition and culture in this. regard. well let's talk about the source why did they decide to settle in this play about and that is because well because you don't give me the actual sword settlement region is much larger and it reaches all the way to dissolve the river and up to berlin and down to the saxon or monk and the fish you could think this brave sort

of some kind of made a bad choice by coming here with all the canals and many mosquitoes here but water played an important role it's essential for catching fish and there are plenty of forests in the area and the swamps help keep invaders out. so i think the overall conditions for settling right here in the middle of the spray about weren't actually that bad after all. was he he didn't. need to get us out when he fell over the century have been persecuted their language for baden can you tell us a bit about the history. versus the sorbs were christianized and they were treated like a minority for hundreds of years and they were more or less suppressed across the ages looked they never govern themselves there was never a sore bridge again. but against all odds the sorbs managed to preserve their culture especially by adapting and possible that was their key to success governments have given the unpossible at the. well that's one who is it difficult

to keep me and traditions alive. i have in mind the sort of if you look at the customs the celebrations other traditional costumes often those are really popular in the villages as you can see here and in the museum. it's a very different story with this sort of language it's a complicated language that's tricky to learn it takes effort to see their language initiatives and even a high school in columbus were pupils going to learn this sort of language there is a sword media to newspapers t.v. radio and so i think people are quite worried about how to keep their complicated language alive and make it appealing enough so others want to learn it. unfortunately i don't have more time to explore the open air museum i have another vote to catch. we'll stay by the water but far far away from here in texas we'll start our stroll

. i just love that one particular translation wild forest women so i tweeted to play about going by the phone. but not all her fans are from this she considers her fashion traditional modern. give us a time how did you come up with the idea of designing clothes inspired by sorby and culture i don't think. it started at university. down we worked in an interview project dedicated to designing fashionable young saw or and. the traditional costume design for everyday clothing and to get young people interested in salt culture human noise and. i mean one could say you're an ambassador for modern sorby and culture on the. phone both yes a little bit. that has to get back to work after all all her dresses are tailor made. but our trip doesn't end here.
