you've come to the right place. to be 16 so. much of it. surely to lose from africa the world your link to exceptional stories and discussions from the news as easy as i want with say deputed comes to pick up join us on facebook g.w. for. the. amazing natural landscapes in iceland this is where i spent my latest perfect

weekend for euro 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 meghalaya here's a look at what else we've got coming up. classic car into my day interview with electric motor. and hats off to a small region in italy that is big on how to make it. the 1st you wanted the best way to bring attention to climate change well perhaps by transforming a studio or a soccer stadium into a forest around 300 trees were graduating from nursery 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 artists of this installation believe that if change doesn't happen now in the future we will only

be able to see forests in zoom like environment. anyone expecting to see penalties that stadium captain floats will be in for a bit of a surprise there's not much soccer going on in this forest. for his project the swiss artist was inspired by a drawing by the austrian artist. called the unending attraction of nature. 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 we go to. visitors are not allowed to touch or enter the forest only look at the.

next month 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. ninety's when it's a single these are the different species here so those there are the black pines you know. they've been replanted 16 tiles is a. 199 trees were planted between the goal posts creating a mixed forest which has become quite 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 things and so if it was very difficult for me to find a proportion to the stadium because at 1st i couldn't imagine how it would be. 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. 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 those 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 seem nice to. see. 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 camden for it 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 its function is if there are to be from artisans. for forest is a sustainable project visitors can enjoy until the end of october the stadium opens to 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. isn't joint 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 pad 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. drives a benz victoria 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 fin it would be showing disrespect for the past simply replacing it with something new and 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. cuts from berlin has created and in. decks to determine how the price of a car should be evaluated. can see paris in principle the value of a vintage car would sink because it would no longer be historical of 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 1970 s. b.m.w. . but redefining it out of that would be like taking out the car's heart. the engine is the heart of the b.m.w. it would be like hauling it out it would be removing the car's heart and probably it sold to. that's how it's. in there. and he's not worried about the fact that gasoline engines might eventually be down . there 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 the tomatoes that's what i like about

old cars is that they represent a certain period in time and i can experience the history firsthand i'm not in a museum i can really feel how it was at the time just would not 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 you. so the engine no longer has to rattle it can simply current 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 surroundings now

aside from discovering amazing landscapes and even going horseback riding i discovered some pop up surprises as well. top of 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 and 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 harden it 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 is 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. now a mormon up from my city stroll passing by colorful houses i reach a landmark of reykjavik the how grooms can't yeah it was built over a 40 year period finished in 1986 the norse explorer lay for ethics and stands tall out front this modern sculpture known as the sun voyager 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 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. up with head chef jenny wuornos daughter here for lunch she recommends caught from the pan. i'll say this most popular in iceland because we fish it here in the sea close to and it's the best fish that we can get the freshest so this is my colon area to try and some of the icelandic fish caught in the waters just outside because the rest of the night 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 east says 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 info demonstrates the unique state of icelandic orson's. this is its holds as you can see the writer is sitting very nice and comfortable in the saddle and this is because the horse has always one wolf in the crowd so it makes it very nice and smooth to. icelandic horses have up to 5 gates 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 and my journey continues on the so-called golden ring this road leads to one of the most famous natural wonders of iceland the gulf coast waterfall

these are glacial waters that flow into the hippie to river. park ranger house get you on sand tells me how the waterfall was saved from industrial use. it is an interesting story of all serious. fault for protecting the waterfall from pipes role plants energy production so you're actually was going to jump into the waterfall because. she wanted to protect thanks to the courageous sigrid or the waterfall stands protected today my next stop on the golden ring is the great geyser iceland's oldest known geyser it hasn't been active for years unlike strong corps which are up 75 to 10 minutes this is my excursion tip a trip to go fast and stroke or. iceland's natural energy sources are also put to

use at the fun thomas spot bread is baked directly on the beach with geothermal energy manager and ziggy hello my son shows me how this works. if we have to go in a pots and we leave within the ground for 24 hours and then we usually have a perfect right for it. and this unique bread baked right in the ground is actually quite delicious. and finally i wrap up my trip with some rest and relaxation this is my specialty immersing yourself in the geothermal waters of iceland not everything here is as cold as ice is. want to learn more about european lifestyle and culture. when you come to like. the euro my. take the plunge. water. cried. when players were

crazy joins the right to destroy. europe john subscribe so if you don't see. the works of legendary women their books films and even their clothes are well documented but what about simpler facts like what coco chanel ate for breakfast probably not much since she was a well known smoker but still such routines interested one photographer and a food stylist now they took a look at famous names from around the world of film and fashion for a more realistic approach now the result of their research has been published in a book and we met up with them in france to find out more. tell me what you eat and i'll tell you who you are a french court may once said it provided the inspiration for

a book by the norwegian food stylist mom young not fair for a young adult and the polish photographer claudia paris. it features 14 significant women such as queen marie antoinette or mexican artist frida kahlo and their favorite foods. the english writer jane austen had a liking for roast pork. italian actress sophia wren is a fan of traditional italian cuisine such as parma ham pasta and pizza. we came up with working with famous women and then working with porches to combine it with food and it's more complex. concept of a book because people like is it about the women is it about the food it what is the what's kind of combination is this but then it's a perfect way of time troubling to you imagine someone's life and you get to know them through the food that they ate and it says a lot of who we are and what time we live and. the true even slipped into the roles

of some of their preparedness to try to really get to know them not just their food preferences. cloudier eager parents dressed up like the swedish children's book author astrid lindgren. lindgren like going to the countryside with her family on the weekend to eat for meatballs. and mariana did the research and read all the books of us trillions and highlighted . also where the food was appearing and so we picked a big to those recipes of course and their recipes are traditional swedish so meatballs our tradition. that everyone loves. astrid lindgren spent almost all of her life in stockholm but tried to have as much contact with nature as possible. the french fashion designer coco chanel preferred

urban life and wasn't a great fan of cooking. she only had a small kitchen in her paris apartment. for younger doll and eager parents were very interested in her style and as well as her daily habits. she was working for so many hours every day and she was smoking and she used. to this so she light. and we made stuff that could fit her her brand but also that is. both from the advertising industry the 2 spent 6 years on this project working in their free time. in addition to making the dishes themselves they knew just how to create the perfect setting for them. one thing that the 14 women in the

book all have in common is that they were ahead of their time. eager parents and forever young cookbook pays tribute to food and great women those of yesteryear today and the future. and you can see more about how to make a strain. on our facebook page. next up when you think of italy hacks may not be the 1st thing that comes to mind but did you know that a very small region in italy is a major hub for hat production and they're sold worldwide like the. these hats come from market now mark a has been home to dozens of fairfax or as for hundreds of years so has this one look on the it but i think this one's probably more my style anyway we visited a few of these that manufacturers find out more for.

the countryside is a picture perfect italian landscape with hills topped by medieval village it is since he won't miss talents the piano. man stories in the hasn't discovered the region of mark a yet. the locals don't live only from agriculture cultivating crops and on they but also from millinery. there are some 60000000 is within a 7 kilometer radius. they export their huts all over the world. these might be made to felt for school. told to affect his family has been making hats here for quite a while. the company's own we've been making hats by hand for 3 generations and it began with my granddad and then my dad and now me we need so about 150 years

dedicated to this marvelous product and i mean yours or. many of the villages in the display to a down capital district cut beautifully restored sentence that's if i'm on a has a historical games it gets back to the 14th century. for much of 80 it all began with straw hats. there was always an abundance of wheat in this region people made straw hats to protect themselves while they were working in the fields. at the heart of the district is among the poor now with some 1700 inhabitants the local museum shows visit has how hats making traditions have to bend up since the 17th century. originally only straw hats were made but then people started using other materials to. film director federico fellini his favorite tat also came from want to put on a. making

a hat by hand is very time consuming delicate work and must ask you when he shows her granddaughters how the work is done when she was growing up she had no choice undergone no concept of this when i was a small child and came back from school i was allowed to play a little after lunch maybe but then my parents would give me a bundle of straw like this and say that i had to make a straw plat before dinner and wished i had to do it because it was our only source of income at the time that only good resource at the checkout. marco so batty likes to get around going to porny on his best but. he likes the view of the landscape. it's factory on the edge of the town is one of the biggest in the region. some 250000 tents and camps amaze here each year. about 60 percent go aboard. those with the sabbat the label they may need to depend on what's next known is

that many famous italian fashion houses have to have made in these factories around monte borna which is 250 kilometers northeast of rome. remember pornographic course each fashion house tells us how to customize the carols we are applications embroidery or adjustable structures. like this one will be ordered never without border. sometimes it's a special combination of different prints and fabrics. better out of eggs and sooner than with this. so let's take that stuff to the italian had industry. champagne. or should i say. not a lot and with that it is time to say goodbye but don't forget to check out our website for our weekly drop a honor for more fun reports from our show as always thanks for tuning in big and 6
