and. sunny skies sandy beaches and ocean waves. i'm on a cruise adopt the 2nd biggest german island in the baltic sea. it's a hugely popular holiday destination but why exactly. why because you fall in love with into the woods alone the good vibes good weather the sunshine water what more could you want from as on a nice sunny beach the nice people with the sun the island right. it's true

those are dumb as one of the sunniest places in germany. but especially now in the summer too much sun can be dangerous here on who's a donkey to go or is have found ingenious ways of keeping out of the sun. the result a colorful seat made up and. the more traditional option is the wicker chair invented on the baltic sea coast in $882.00 it's now an essential beach item around these parts getting in on the fun is super easy you grab a key at one of the many rental spots along the beach and find your chair then you set it up and relax. the wicker beach chair is tightly interwoven with beach culture at the baltic and the north sea and rarely found outside of germany oh that is an island of the prerogatives and. germany's longest beach some 1900 hours of sunshine

a year and it's super full especially the beaches are overrun by tourists what i'm wondering is are there any quiet sponsor left let's find out together on a tour around the island and. show you the so-called imperial spots hitting stoff bake and fun see. a local will share with us the beauty of granada in spain. and our vail takes us to mexico. to saddam has an impressive 12 kilometer boardwalk it leads you past lots of greenery and beautiful buildings. the promenade is the most direct connection between the popular resorts of hitting stuff and back and stretches out

all the way to. unfold and close it up as part german part polish. the island is famous for its peers. actually home to germany's oldest since it was built in 8082 and. after about a quarter of the way you'll come upon a restaurant in the winter and this is a great place to hide from the cold baltic winds but now in the summer it's a lot nicer out. from here it's a pleasant walk to the end of the pier. during high season is courage and both stock here several times a day. getting stuff back and they are nicknamed the emperors resorts why well because already 200 years ago the ritz and the famous like to spend their vacation here one of them was german emperor william gray times. walking past but

still very much alive you only have to look. stroll around the imperial seaside resorts known as the kinds of data and soak up the atmosphere you get a sense of what it was like here in the 19th century back when cuz of a hand the 1st came to the dawn to relax as well as to see and b.c. . i was to curt's artists and wealthy merchants from the capital followed his lead and spend their free time here and it was that all has remained a favorite vacation destination to this day. the island is even nicknamed burdens both top. because it was a dome is located just 200 kilometers from the german capital. columns balustrades and balconies adorned the islands that as many of which date from the turn of the 20th century. this style is a relic of

a bygone era but is one that continues to captivate visitors to this day. even back then it was a status symbol to own a house at one of the dorms glamorous seaside resorts. during the communist era the villages fell into disrepair but they've now been restored with many being turned into hotels or apartments. the tourists don't just flock to the 3 period seaside resorts with the architecture these spawn towns have a charm all their. glory as german off a tutor funtown i once wrote the view of the grays see through the trees is poetic and infinity piecing to the heart and soul. today it's hard to find that poetic tranquility of the person in cars that they had by. the entire thing about the sphere remains. about $1000000.00 visitors come to

the island every year especially in some a during the high season. i printed a bike and rode down the boardwalk. only a couple of minutes later every chipotle and. this sculpture is meant to remind border crossers of the fact that it wasn't always this easy to get to the neighboring country. luckily these times are long gone today and can be easier to get to so we know it was you. who. seem like i'm not the only one to notice here into huge crowds everywhere.

we see it is popular with shoppers prices being much lower than on the other side of the border but that's not the only thing that makes a visit to saddam's biggest city worthwhile so we don't wish to is nicknamed the 4th ever as resorts and as many beautiful spots. back on the german signed ride by the border and stop to visit the island sand sculpture exhibit. general manager. kluger leads me past 100 sculptures get the work of 25 artists from all around the world. how does and become art yes how does sound become art we have these big cranks which are prepared and filled with sand and water. then the mixture is compressed

with the next less added on top and the next when it solidified the artist can start working on it from the top work from the top right down to the bottom of the hour about if there isn't only sand don't you spray it with anything to make it stick together cleaved i let them get ahead like no it really is just sand that's why there's a roof over our heads to protect the sound from the elements it's simply compressed the artist's many many years of experience in dealing with his material he wouldn't actually that's the secret doesn't suit us. but not the only one the artists also use a special kind of sand. shows me how that works one to stand back as you know you have to try but here we have our baltic sea sound like you'd find on the beach it's very fine and even if you squeeze it together not much happens. when that happens

there soft sand sculpture sand. take it's pretty sure and for them to press it together quite firmly with some coke and you have a really nice for. the sand they use here comes from a gravel quarry in a village on. ready the sand hasn't been worn smooth by the sea sold packs together better. than sculptures don't last forever so each year there is a new exhibition but the different motto this years is expedition earth. but i'm going to if i wanted to build something like this although of course much smaller on the beach how would you recommend i go about it. yes with my 1st tip would be to get the right kind of sand although i think that's a bit difficult otherwise i advise you to work from above board don't go up too high but work from above and then you can create. the lovely object.

time now to meet a local our viewer manuel costello wants to take us around his hometown granada in spain back in the middle ages it was ruled by the morris nazareth dynasty and they turned the city into the center of an illusion arabic culture that legacy can still be felt today. but hello and welcome to grenada one of the most beautiful cities in spain my name is manuel and today i will show you why i mean not with this city. out of famine now where in the kayak of that we had no way of and also known as the america itself or not at the end of this name comes from its resemblance to typical

streets in iraq over here we can find different products from the airplane that there was a lot of it. and if you want to take a break you can have a seat and relax in one of the many cafes to enjoy morocco. but. i don't i'm going this is how they see the phantom or supporter of the city and one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in 1904 it was declared a world heritage site by unesco so i love it i love getting off to the streets in a towering deputy.

i mean right now we're at the meat i do with that nicola which is one of the most important and beautiful view points and we're not at it from here we have a view of the sierra nevada mountains and yell ombre which is the symbol of this city as i don't. get that one point it's made up of the now 3 palaces by the morris most annoyed he lived as one of the. the walls that surrounded the ancient city and the darkness of the hen i really think the royals recreational and holiday residents feel that make a deal that i feel i've won in a piece of advice if you want to visit the be sure to reset tickets as they are usually sent out a month in advance. i mean this is one of the most beautiful walks to taking her daughter officially it's called said robin or that to say the last 3 days of the sad one since the road led

to the century. this is the reality hall the jewish quarter of granada and among other things this popular front street by world famous graffiti artist. one of the most famous place to listen to farming community kanada is the sacramental caves but today i want to take you to one of my favorite boss let's go . down. there you're. going to. eat. meat.

pedo i hope you enjoyed tory my city and i hope to see you soon. comes out to me he. is a long island the beach stretches out over 42 kilometers. in the hinterland to find forests meadows and lakes the island is separated from the mainland by the october. formed by the river pino flowing into the baltic sea. all the places i've seen so far were full of tourists now i want to discover all saddam's more quiet parts so i'm off to the hinterland and i'm treating myself to a truly special experience i'll discover in the area on horseback and those are gone there are many riding stables i've chosen this one in odds on the team

a group of locals had planned a tour and they've invited me to join. this is adriano my best buddy for today or at least i hope so before hitting the road we need to curry the horses. saddled them. and put their bits and. almost ready but safety 1st. oh gosh darn it hurts all along i don't know 123 i. made it to this. first we need to cross town i've been in the saddle a couple of times already so i was able to join the tour right away but if you've never sat on a horse you'll have to do a couple of practice rounds at the stables or let someone else take the reins in any case this is a great way to. governing sure. here

in the hinterland there aren't nearly as many tourists as there were at the beach and in the resorts nature and beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. the 1st. before i get too romantic we decided to speed it up a little to the track is as far as i'll go and this time around. the leave the gallop to the pros but i do have to say this area is the perfect spot to go horseback riding. we could even take a quick dip what the out of. the 4. do.

now if you're interested in military history you should take a trip to the other side of the island to peenemünde during national socialism it was the site of an army research center specialized undeveloped in new weapons the historic technical museum reappraise is this history which. archivist told must could shows me around the premises. now we come into the rocket which made them and a famous line most people associate with this black and white rocket known as the v 2 or retribution weapon to aggregate fear as it was called here. yet how destructive was it. just wipe out a single building it leveled half the neighborhood especially when buildings were hit. precise originally planned so it was only used to bomb.

the v 2 was launched about 3200 times targeting mostly london and more than 8000 people died as a result of the attacks. take an elevator to the roof of the museum in order to get an idea of the extent of the area occupied by the former military training center. to this day a big part of northern tip guarded exclusion zone to protect people from left over ammunition buried in the ground. between 1943 and 44 the majority of the center was destroyed in allied airstrikes what was left was the army research center's power plant in 1901 the museum it describes the history of the center technologic milestones as well as the horrific and inhumane sacrifices made in the name of

scientific advancement. was europe's largest military research facility 194312000 people worked here they had different professions only a few were engineers there were heaps of administrators a huge bureaucratic machine went along with it and many others who weren't here by choice. that's forced laborers p.o.w.'s and prisoners and concentration camps many of them lost their lives working on the weapon serial production the museum also conveys the idea that the v 2 should not only be seen as a destructive weapon that killed thousands its launch was also a watershed moment for the evolution of modern space technology. it was the 1st manmade object to reach space was an. historic day. for cation day in germany but this was in 2. it took off

and reached a peak altitude of 84.5 kilometers. back then the 50 mile marker senses the boundary of space that's roughly 80 kilometers so the gateway to space was really pushed open here which of course on which side of history would you place the v. 2. really that's really a tough question it's a balancing act we try to perform here in the museum too it was the mother of all rockets but here it was primarily about weapons development off shore they motivated the engineers by saying after we've won the war with it we'll go to the moon but they could only say that behind closed doors. indeed and how do you go about it here in the museum with this heritage that very much needs to be put into context for the visitors. we can't do right by everyone your technicians are often disappointed that we don't explain how all the plants function and say just

a concentration camp memorial on the other hand others accuse us of glorifying nazi engineers and their technology. it's hard to please everybody but we try to find the middle ground if we are attacked from both sides then we know we found the middle ground and we hope to continue doing that in the future in the new permanent exhibition we're planning. to. pain in the end it is a place in history that offers a stark contrast to the beach holiday now it's your turn again it's time for our weekly the well as always we'll show you travel impressions of one of our viewers this week we got mail from new york who visited mexico and.

which. part. of.

my stay here and who's a dom is almost over but there's still one thing on my to do list. eat fish up to the late 19th century fishing was the islanders livelihood i've been kozel where fish was made more durable by coding at what solves food conservation kept the island's mostly poor population from starving in winter today the historic saltcoats are under a preservation order. and 991 the family restaurant because it was odd so to open it. but here at the fish. and smoked that's typical for a who's a dog and master smoker is going to show me how it's done. and he will how do you prepare the fish for smoking does it have to be salted or

otherwise spice to. first we cut it into the night to try it just like we have here. how long do you leave it hanging. just to dry the smoking fish. smoking takes time. because. they can which types of fish are particularly good when smoked but here we have elan salmon. and below that's part of the that's how to butter here. once the fish is dry in the oven is closed for about an hour. in case you were wondering why they call it smoking. time to get a taste i'm going to try them on eels salmon and taliban. i

wonder if these are the ones i smell but at this point here's the most important thing is they're all delicious. but filling life at the beach and tranquility in the back country good food and plenty to do offer is all being greedy and c.n.a. for a perfect summer holiday i for one had a great time i hope you get to see you next time somewhere and germany.
