simple 6 think again. the winds will come in. waves of excitement emotion not something. that swings in 98 limbs. the goals of the results hit on d.w. neves. castles dreamy villages. and a river that unites it all. i meant

by a blog on the lawn a tributary of the river running. from my plans to take a new tour around the land valley. i'm super excited about what awaits me on this trip the river the landscapes and the challenges i'll encounter along the way i have 25 kilometers ahead of me from buying a book all the way to a town called good. job on the show we catch up with our globe trotter on his adventure and caregivers to. one of our viewers shows us the sights and sounds of moscow. and we take you on a tour of frankfurt. but

for now. just like many towns along the line this small city 2 has a spectacular palace this one was built in the 17th century and it's considered one of the most remarkable baroque castles of the region. from here i get a great view of what's coming next and heading down to the river and into the water . so this is your motor on the level it's a single blade battle going on stage public one hand up here the other down here place it in the water and. by there any typical beginner's mistakes i've never really done this then yet if you go under some low drainage then paddle out backwards is this you don't want to get caught up in the branches otherwise you could capsule itself would the course of the land where it is going to learn my

best to avoid that. tornado hard life. hold on to the boat sit down that's it. for us. oh my god don't you dare flip us over. here so you can don't worry just let go it's normal for it to walk as necessary as it does and it's about. i'm gonna go. and because i've got quite the trip ahead of me i've enlisted a little support my producer andrea yates has agreed to help me paddle. seem like we're not the only ones who've heard about the beauty of the law on groups of school kids. keep us company on the 1st stretch. so

much though that we even get into a little traffic jam after crossing germany's only boat tunnel we have to go through a lock. on the other side for peace and quiet the region along the lot isn't just famous for its castles and fortresses it's a well known for its beautiful landscapes to. getting back to the castles here is a figure that one surprise you according to the european castles institute there are about 25000 in germany many of them are into going to state anymore but they all still have that i mistakenly romantic.

visitors come from all over the world to see germany's many consuls and palaces. they stand as witnesses to a bygone era. many dates back to the dark and mysterious middle ages they were mostly designed just fortresses overlooking rivers opus ition didn't highland areas . often destroyed in fighting some have been rebuilt many times over. most of the consuls in germany are privately owned either inherited or bought. the council like this one in the west an eyeful region requires a lot of money to maintain. built castle is one of germany's most outstanding gems a genuine medieval fortress that has never been destroyed. tourism provides a key source of income to help for the upkeep. there are guided tours every 10

minutes the council has belonged to the out family for more than 815 years. to become the booking unsourced on each generation has a duty to pass on the castle in a better state than they received it was so obvious so we've worked hard to restore the roof of the new the windows and do all the other jobs that need doing it. in this way but there's still a lot to do and there will always be there is for me and for the next generation who for the next they're going to see. the need by listening council is also privately and horses going to listen board to the consul and it's now restoring it in a labor of love the former teacher is investing a lot of money and effort in the project. mushroom because you do have to be a little bit crazy to take on something like that so. some of the supporting beams in the great hall were rotten and the consulate was in danger of collapse. so

germany's monument protection authority came to the rescue along with the local authorities. and it's good invest your money is being invested here to preserve a historical monument. it's in the public interest of the public funds are going into it but without the owners financial commitment it would have been impossible that's the traditional mergers without the love and dedication of the consolation as these historical gems would surely be in not just. the landscape around the lot and it's truly impressive and as intruders were being carefully observed by the locals came my looks like we have a new friend to. let . oh yes. oh.

we survived our 1st day of canoeing and the reward will be spending the night at this riverside campsite in a tiny wooden hut. tell us cramer shows me my home for the night it's all hopeless the food the hugs are mainly for a canoe are to stay water tonight some want to have some home comforts. for physician or a man don't want their tent on the boat things stay off the boat the yeah or on a bike. so that this way. this is a lot more comfortable than a tent well these are yeah no comparison to your average.

night is falling on the lawn and the campsite too has calmed down. before i hopefully get the well deserved rest i want to invite you guys to catch up with our globe trotter his most recent travels took him to central asia to kurdistan and there he had tons of fun hiking horseback riding and discovering the country's cuisine of course. so mum and welcome to. the country which is fine but it's this is why in this episode we are focusing on the truth which accounts for local life and going to the local cuisine. kyrgyzstan is not really isolated bikes hide the mountainous terrain which has helped preserve its asian culture which. country

gained its independence as a nation state after the breakup of the soviet union in 1901. 100 francs. on a horse with a strong. knowledge of horses take a well deserved break for we can enjoy if you can. put it here is a true no matter this is where people live they have their horses here they have goats and cows over there this is the life that people used to have me and were actually mountain nomads is a sad 80 percent of the country time out and so they packed up their dam and set it up to the next really been abbott they want to it's hard to. welcome to kind of call the city was founded by the russians a strategic location to explore everything which just south east the current called

today strategic location fall out of love it's because of its proximity to the highest mountains of the country. it's time to introduce you to. keystone for this week you cover the markets here with us and we do it quick you got it here the market. ok that's right so what we have here is. and it's basically this i don't like chinese muslims who live here and. you. could also play some of. the turkish coffee i saw which is basically french fries meat pickles you come on. yes and again

golly. the next stop is the 1st cats into the also how i feel like everybody said here in the trunk and sometimes like here. i'm doing it one day trip here with me it's called the yoga looks right because of the village down there it's named snow globes so it's a flawless record 6 kilometers. this. is probably going to get up if they're. going to take on the lobster to kill. you know the thing with hiking for me is. you know always needs a good view to make its residents. and was the program again i would say mission accomplished. and this is it from she gets down to resume.

here in the countryside along the line and it's easy to fall right into a whole new thread that you go to bed early and get up early after all i still have a long stretch ahead of me. ok let's go. on. day 2 starts just like day one and it's very relaxed not a person in sight just us and the river. the serenity on the river really is something else thanks to the current and my co-captain. it can take some time to put my feet up.

on the lawn you have to pass through plenty of locks and since they're not manned anymore you have to open them yourself. or wait for help. just open the gate. and keep on paddling. in germany there's a popular slogan good to it was here it's used to describe the places this well

traveled poet graced with his presence good gentle internship here on the lawn while he was in law school and it seems he did a lot of hiking here he was amazed by the quote unquote unspeakable beauty of nature to be fair he was also very much in love at the time the lady in question turned out to be the inspiration for the protagonist in his 1st novel the sorrows of young valley. and why am i telling you about all of this well because right now i'm going to take you on a little excursion to goodness birthplace france and only about 60 kilometers from here is definitely worth a visit and not just for a layover and its name is a report. mine is well known for its green line its banks. but there are also. the half timbered

houses that surround the city hall a building known as the roman. frankfurt is the leading cultural center and it hosts the world's largest book fair. the fat was 1st held over 500 years ago after you had a scooping bag invented the printing press. today is that she was just a stone's throw from left of the. fun forward. back in the 18th century when good was born of only had about 30000 residents. but it was the coronation city of the kaiser's of the holy roman empire and as a free imperial city it had some autonomy. it was a center of trade thanks to the trade routes and the trade for those additional have constructed for. the house where good was born is now newseum during 100000 visitors a year. the house has been restored to its original with great attention to detail . the famous writer lived for 25 years this is also where he wrote his a pistol or

a novel the sorrows of young. he wrote that in frankfurt and it was revolution of his isn't hind songs revolutionize poetry and his play good from burleson and also written for the 1st transformed german drama. a few meters from good us house you come to st paul's church in 1980 became the seat of the frankfurt national assembly the 1st freely elected parliament for the whole of germany so it's considered the birthplace of german democracy. time for to mine is also well known for its museum no less than 15 cultural institutions lined the river mine forming the frankfurt museum embankment. it includes germany's oldest museum foundation the shade was a. collection here cup a 700 year. if your opinion on history from the 14th century right up to the

present day. this is what's going to go on when it was founded 200 years ago in accordance with the will left by a wealthy frankfurt banker named your 100 data he was an art collector which was not unusual in the age of enlightenment when. he saw origin as a key part of his role in society. although frankfurt was a free a material city there was no bishop and no royalty living here. so it's always been the local people who have shaped frankfurt and to this day this foundation relies on the huge support it receives from the people of frankfurt to and from put up a position. so look beyond frankfurt it's more than the skyline with its banks and office tower as can you find a rich cultural history. i've

arranged to meet make mine on the banks of the lon he was raised around here and he's shaped the area's development in recent years through his work as a geographer and tourism consultant. and. family and on her way here we saw lots of bikers and paddlers it was all very calm and seemed extremely adelie is that really what it's like is working so that if yes i design i think the lawn is one of the most delicate rivers in germany to explore by boat or by bike ones and that's why so many people calm and it remains unchanged you can really relax and slow down from the commotion on everyday life. a lot isn't quite as well known as the rhine or the moselle rivers especially outside of germany do you think that. can or should i change or is it fine the way it is. the

only one that isn't so obvious even if i think it's fine as it is quite well known among the real could knowing me as you can see from the number of boat rental firms here and if we could probably raise our profile a bit of money michael is about it up and we'd certainly like to become better known for hiking under and most people think of walking along the rhine think but i'd like them to consider the lawn 2. 100 left and so what are the challenges for the future you already said you want to promote the hiking trails but what else is on your list. i'm down to 40 credit it's easy we want to work on quality control when you market an area tourism and tell everyone to come then you have to make sure you have the necessary infrastructure you have to have designated areas where canoeist can get in and out of there both. of those places you need. public

transport places to. sustainable tourism means ensuring people don't get out in the middle of a conservation area and cause damage to answer to still a lot to do but it sounds like a lot of fun. obviously to absolutely and i love it when visitors like what they see in. this bridge in film are and the statue of st john of me are very special they're made of so-called loughnane marble which was mined in this area for centuries axel becker is an expert and takes me to a former quarry millions of years ago this was a reef in the ocean the continental drift carried it north along with fossilized sea creatures and sediments. here you can see this is a coral. reef and this is a sea shell. put around it after me when you are not 380000000 years ago our continent was on the equator you're larger than the continents move where. her standing now was 20 degrees south of the equator and on

this long journey away from the equator tectonic cracks developed. there was pressure here you see these regular structures that the stone was under a lot of tectonic stress and then fused together again through cement they would go through the box and that's when did people start mining in marble so. the 1st records are from 5099 we're very proud we can say it was still the 16th century. and that was the start of the barong era when marvel became popular rule there was a demand for large colorful structures that appeal to the sense of the business. so they realized they could make money here by the 17th century marble was in use around the world at the start of the 20th century marble from here was used in the empire state building and the moscow subway all over.

and always on the south this time too were sharing the travel experiences of one of our viewers mari am from karachi in pakistan travel to moscow and as a video of her favorite spot the red square the t.v. tower and a boat right on the mosque check out the russian capital in summer. my

canoe tour on the lawn is slowly coming to an end the last of the 25 kilometers under the blistering sun seemed to be the longest. time if there's a local you don't. do the. good things you can't get long along the

lawn you can always tell where exactly you are by the impressive buildings you come across this is room called castle from the 12th century it was built in the middle ages to protect a river crossing it's a ruin now but still retains its charm and roll goal is also where my tour comes to an end. the only way. you can leave. you know people often say then journey is more important than the destination and this time the journey really was a lot of fun and helped me discover a whole new way of travelling a more relaxed one far away from the train schedules and traffic jams and one that really allowed me to get in touch with nature rather than just power. i think

they're highly recommend.
