century 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 unsettled with a low no good vibes good weather sunshine water what more could you want. on a nice sunny beach the nice people with the sunny island right. it's true that i'm as one of the sunniest places in germany. but especially now in the summer too much sun can be dangerous here on tuesday beach goers have found ingenious ways of keeping out of the sun. the result a colorful seat made of umbrellas and. the more traditional option is the way.

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 as one of the many rental spots along the beach and find your chair then you set it up and relax. the wicker 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 superlatives it has 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. show you the so-called imperial spouse hailing star of bake and buns eat. a local will

share with us the beauty of granada in spain. and our vale takes us to mexico. to saddam has an impressive 12 kilometer boardwalk it leads you past lots of greenery and beautiful buildings. and. the prominent is the most direct connection between the popular resorts of buttons ema hitting stuff and back and stretches out all the wages we know here in poland for the dumbest part german part polish the island is famous for its peers ah that is actually home to germany's oldest since it was built in 8082. after about a quarter of the way you come upon a restaurant in the winter and this is a great place to hide from the cold baltic winds. but down in the summer it's

a lot nicer out. here it's a pleasant walk to the end of the pier. during high season excursion boat dock here several times a day. getting stuff back and they are nicknamed the emperors resorts why well because already 200 years ago the rich and the famous like to spend their make asian here one of them was german emperor william gray times long past but still very much alive you only have to look. struggle round 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 the village and the 1st came to was the dawn to relax as well as to see and b.c. . iris to curt's artists and wealthy merchants from the capital followed his lead

and spend their free time here and was that all has remained a favorite vacation destination to this day. the un and has even nicknamed brandon's golf top. because it was it almost located just 200 kilometers from the german capital. columns balustrades and balconies adorn the islands but as many of which date from the turn of the 20th century. a style is a relic of a bygone era was 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 video's 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 a period seaside resorts with the architecture these spawn towns have a charm all their. war as german off a tutor funtown i once wrote the view of the greys see through the trees as poetic and infinity pleasing to the heart and so. today it's hard to find that poetic tranquility of the person in kind of a doubt about the enticing atmosphere remains. about $1000000.00 visitors come to the island every year especially in some a during the high season. that rented 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 this week it was just you. see like i'm not the only one to notice here 2 huge crowds everywhere. no easy jet 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 we know is nicknamed the 4th everest resort and has many beautiful spots. back on the german side ride by the border and stop to visit the island sand sculpture exhibit.

general manager. kluger leads me past 100 sculptures to the work of 25 artists from all around the world. how does and become art yes how does sand become art we have these big crates which are prepared and filled with sand and water then the mixture is compressed into the next added on top. and then 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. let them know it really is just sand and that's why there's a roof over our heads to protect the sound from the elements it's simply compressed

and the artists many many years of experience in dealing with this material they wouldn't actually that's the secret to going home 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. and take it pretty sure into the press it together quite firmly with some coke and you have a really nice grip. 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 year's 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. don't go up too high but work from above and then you can create a lovely object or your. childhood. 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 andalusia an arabic culture that legacy can still be felt today.

what a hello and welcome to granada one of the most beautiful cities in spain my name is manuel and today i will show you why i mean up with this city. out of town now where in the kayak. 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's really thought 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 a moroccan tea. pot and 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 lost in the streets. i care. 4 about i mean right now. at the meet i do with the new cologne which is one of the most important and beautiful view points from granada that 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 well as the. the walls that surrounded the ancient city and the gardens of the hen early the royals recreational and holiday residents feel

that they could build it up the on a one in a piece of advice if you want to visit. be sure to reserve tickets early as they are usually sent out a month in advance. i mean this is one of the most beautiful walks to take and her daughter officially it's called said a drug. or the said the last 3 states of the sidewalks since the road led to the century. this is the reality hall the jewish quarter of granada and among other things is popular for its street by world famous for feet the artist. on the. one of the most famous places to listen to farming community kanada is the

sacramental claves but today i want to take you to one of my favorite boss let's go . let's. go. eat. and i hope you enjoy touring my city. and i hope to see you soon. ok. come down to the. is a long island the beach stretches out over 42 kilometers.

in the hinterland you'll find forests meadows and lakes the island is separated from the mainland by the octopus informed by the river of pain overflowing 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 the area on horseback and over the dome there are many riding stables i've chosen this one in odds on 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. call most ready but

safety 1st. oh gosh i don't like her so long i don't 123. made us do 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 discover nature. 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 spin it up a little for the track is as far as i'll go 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 but we could even take a quick dip with the animals. to move. move. to. 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 on developing new weapons the historic technical museum reappraise us this history what.

are convinced still must hurt us shows me around the premises. now we come into the rocket which made peenemunde a famous the one 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 a. little just wipe out a single building it leveled half the neighborhood especially when buildings were hit directly the impact was already devastating for the thought of it wasn't as precise as. originally planned so it was only used to. talk it's meant big cities. 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 is 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 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 14312000 people 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 wasn't a. historic day. for cation day in germany but this was in 92 the rocket took off and reached a peak of 84.5. it has become of 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. on which side of history would you place the v. 2. minutes 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 means 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 than say just a concentration camp the morial 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 a middle ground and if we're 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. peenemunde 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 v 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 into. on.

my stay here and it was a dom is almost over but there's still one thing on my to do list. me to face 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. stores but here the fish is salted and smoked that's typical for a who's a dog and master smoker is going to show me how it's done. he will how do you prepare the fish for smoking does it have to be salted or otherwise spice to move it over 1st we cut it into it and then hang it to dry it just like we have here report. how long do you leave it hanging. for now it's just a drive when smoking fish less is more smoking takes time. well we're going to play them because. they can which types of fish are particularly good when smoked

but here we have elan salmon. and below that's part of that's how the votes are here with you. once the fish is dry and 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 all. 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 that on offer is all being greedy and see a need for a perfect summer holiday i for one had a great time i hope you get to see you next time somewhere and germany.
