discover the. subscribe to the documentary. amazing natural landscapes in iceland this is where i spent my latest perfect weekend for your i max. find out more about that later on in the show hello and welcome to another exciting edition of euro max i'm your host meghan lee

here's a look at what else we've got coming up. classic car to my debut with electric motor. and hats off to a small region in italy that is big on how to make it. the 1st you wanted to bring attention to climate change well perhaps by transforming a studio or a soccer stadium into a forest around $300.00 trees were brought in from nurseries not here of course and planted in a stadium in austria in a bid to make a statement against global warming and deforestation well the artist of this installation believes that if change doesn't happen now in the future we will only be able to see forests and zoom like environment. anyone expecting to see penalties the vet stadium talking clutched will be inferred

bit of a surprise there's not much sucker going on in this forest. for his project the swiss artists klaus lichtman was inspired by a drawing by the austrian artist max pyne called the unending attraction. basically what i'm doing here is trying to produce a quite radical picture and i'm dealing with an underlying theme that next point now also have both of us independently of each other and that's perception. how do we deal with our perceived nature. visitors are not allowed to touch or enter the forest only look at. that man wanted to create a warning monument about the climate crisis it took him 6 years to realize the 4 forest project. he worked together

with the swiss landscape architect and so in the. ny times. these are the difference bases here. those there are the black pines you know. they've been replanted 16 tiles and. 299 trees were planted between the goal posts creating a mixed forest which has become the bike rare in europe these days the trees were located in various german french and italian nurseries some of them were 50 years old all the trees had been transplanted several times so they could cope before being transported the roots were pruned and bound together into a ball then they were fixed into the ground thus the trees will survive without damage to the roots. of fiends and so she was very difficult for me to find the

proportion to the stadium because at 1st i couldn't imagine how it would be. coming on so then i imagined footballers playing there about 1.8 meters tall on average and then i imagine them passing balls to each other long shots high shots. and the stadium posts $30000.00 seats and just as many ways of seeing the forest visitors to the forest can either sit or wander around the rows of. monks whose artworks also feature in new york's museum of modern art is the visionary who imagined a stadium forest over 40 years ago. but his was not a wild mixed forest. but if you see a story just great that the forest is different from mine on my way over here i was really scared that they had managed to capture my forest but now. i'm really glad

that they do it. in the photos seeing these get off. the artwork was financed privately including by collectors and this was fun. klaus littman had discovered the stadium in 2013 and persuaded the city of cabin foot to agree to his idea. the project has both supporters and critics say. it's exactly what we need in order to think about the climate change problem that we have right now. shucks i think it's nonsense to be honest this doesn't belong in a football stadium it's so obvious and it's a warning monument it's huge parts of the amazon forest have birth down recently because of deforestation and this project shows how important a forest and it's function is. there are 2 different jumpers artisans. for forest is a sustainable project visitors can enjoy until the end of october the stadium opens

till late at night afterwards the trees will be transplanted again and will set down their roots not far away for the long term. it's that time of year again when cars take center stage at the international auto show in frankfurt now much of the focus is on promoting electric cars but what do you do if you have a vintage vehicle that still runs on an old catalytic converter well even these old cars are being brought into the era of electric mobility. not all vintage cars have to be noisy and smelly i don't leave mine is enjoying a new experience his steam powered car from 1938 now has an electric motor. so if this car is 80 years old and now it's experiencing

a revival we can enjoy the landscape very quietly my intention is not to change the climate with my car i couldn't do that but i'm sending out a signal. showing people that it is possible to make changes if you really want to . could this become a trend. and has developed a business model in vincent not far from hamburg in northern germany old cars are equipped with modern technology each model is individually fitted with the right components such a conversion can cost up 210-0000 euros. there are enthusiastic who really want to drive fully electric cars but there was nothing on offer except a boring tesla which is like a moving i pads and that's how we began in 2015 for people who wanted a car that they really liked. all of these models are unique. but not everyone is convinced about retrofitting vintage cars karl-heinz drives then stick turiya from

894 that makes it one of the oldest cars in the world he can't imagine fitting it with an electric motor. it would be more than a sin it would be irresponsible ignorance. and fear it would be showing disrespect for the past simply replacing it with something new which you would be castrating the vehicle so to speak. for many collectors these cars are an investment and their value is measured by how close they are to the original. post and younger from berlin has created and in. decks to determine how the price of a car should be evaluated it. can see preserved in principle the value of a vintage car would sink because it would no longer be historical the value is only particularly high if a car still boasts the original engine and original gear unit. but doesn't an old car with

a new motor remain an old car for collectors such as philip but johnny absolutely not he would never swap the gasoline engine from his 970 s. b.m.w. . but redefining it out of that would be like taking out the car's heart. engine is the heart of the b.m.w. it would be like hauling it out it would be removing the car's art and probably it sold to you as that's how it's done for the m. . and he's not worried about the fact that gasoline engines might eventually be banned. thank god it's making its if the cars with gasoline engines are banned and i'll just let it stand somewhere. and it'll be of cultural value and just stay in one place. would. be shots on our toes that's what i like about old cars is that they represent a certain period in time and i can experience the history firsthand because i'm not

in a museum i can really feel how it was at the time. that support you don't need to rattle the engine but you can still feel how it was to drive with the springs the imprecise steering and the way it looks to. so the engine no longer has to rattle it can simply curve thanks to the motors even vintage cars can be state of the art. time now to take a trip and europe is great for weekend. getaways but how do you decide what to do when you only have a couple days to sightsee well leave it up to me to give you some tips on my latest perfect weekend away i visited iceland's capital reykjavik and its surrounding snow aside from discovering amazing landscapes and even going horseback riding i discovered some pop up surprises as well. how about yoga in the middle

of reykjavik it's very cold but that doesn't stop icelanders or me from heading outside after we won in welcome to my perfect weekend in reykjavik. now i'm feeling energized to see what reykjavik has on offer iceland's capital is located on the north atlantic ocean in the summer time the days are long but the temperatures rarely exceed 14 degrees celsius no wonder icelanders love their wool i absolutely need a warm hat and for that i go to the hand knitting association of iceland all the items here of course are net by hand i'm curious as to how long this takes i think i can make a pair of socks like this in $5.00 and a sweater 15 i think i also try my luck with the knitting needles but at this

rate i would probably need a whole year for a sweater. i did. my shopping to for a souvenir is something needed from icelandic well. now i'm warm enough for my city stroll passing by colorful houses i reach a landmark of reykjavik the how. it was built over a 40 year period finished in 1986 the norse explorer lay for attics and stands tall out front this modern sculpture known as the sun boards are also stands for the discovery of new worlds another modern structure on the water is the harp a concert hall designed in part by danish artist for earliest and. fresh fish arrives every day at the harbor this is also home to the oldest restaurant of the city the coffee wagner and or the coffee wagon because that's how it began in 1935

this is where i'm. meet up with head chef jenny we're not start here for lunch she recommends cot from the pan. since most popular in iceland we call it we fish it here in the sea close to and that's the best fish that we can get the fascists this is my colon area to try and some of the icelandic fish caught in the waters just outside because the rest know so that that means enjoy your meal in icelandic. day to start off rainy i rented a car because today i want to explore the countryside around reykjavik i head to the essential star farm with its icelandic horses riding instructor if a good woman's daughter has picked out an exemplary horse for me. he says start off 1st half or full day riding tourist to explore the rugged landscape and in for

demonstrates the unique state of the icelandic horses. this is its holds as you can see the rider is sitting very nice and comfortable in the saddle and this is because the horse has always one wolf in the ground so it makes it very nice and smooth to. icelandic horses have up to 5 gaits compared to 3 for other horses. this is my activity to a perfect weekend in reykjavik a ride on an icelandic horse. yeah. i traded my one horse power for something a little stronger in mind journey continues on the so-called golden ring this road before to one of the most famous natural wonders of iceland the gold false waterfall these are glacial waters that flow into the hippie to river.
