able to move freely between neighboring countries. that european union is not an abstract idea it's visibly alive and well. in the center of the old town just sunk you on market square. it's filled with shops cafes and pops here you can really feel just how cosmopolitan this city is. the g.o.p. ever go to france or luxembourg. yes sure and what are you there. on the weekends i enjoy going to france to shop the brecon is right next to france and the supermarkets are wonderful and i like to go to mids a beautiful city. luxembourg is beautiful too. nice to wander around to

a little shopping that's the way it is when you live on the validity of a little what do you think of for europe without borders here in this region if you want. i think it's really great i come from cameroon and here i have a chance to get to know different cultures. it's easy for me to study in france or germany or visit there. i think it's awesome you know i don't actually from the area around but i really savor the lifestyle here even if the city itself the people at the market and the 2 languages french german. wife i think it's wonderful finished. saver that reminds me i've arranged to take a call in every city to work the old town is something like an experimental kitchen for example look at. regularly guides tourists through the winding alley ways taking them to where they can taste the latest trends even the rather simple once.

i get inside something's outlanders really love is neat and forced people have a special way of grilling. so we're going to have a nice sausage. what's this. one unique feature of this place is that everything put on the grill comes from regional butchers. all 3 sauces and told me they wouldn't have it any other way fast food is nothing new but high quality fast food is pretty special. i love it spicy. the next stop is hidden away in the old town's maze of streets and alleys i would never have found my way without. this all on his own or deluxe is a nice little shop that sells specialties from the region and that's where we're headed now with as our guest tonight.

the shelves are stocked with delicacies make insulting and friends in luxembourg all carefully selected by the discerning inexperienced kenyan heintz. did you know that 75 percent of all mirabelle also grown in the rain so almost every eaten in the world is ground within 50 to 70 kilometers of here i didn't know that now i do want to say this one is even tasty it's caramelized it's got an extra boost. the french like jam sweet. doctrine because they're. delicious but sweet yeah seems that touch of caramel. our last stop is kind of an outlier the only vegan cafe in a town full of meat lovers. since so much is in charge. of his cakes or at least sell well but how does he persuade locals to go for vegan cuisine. plus the use of what are traditional

dishes here and solid and i'm guessing they aren't reading. yeah well i've created vegan versions of several typical zonda. leone and yes. the bit of italy's explain what that is. actually it's a great big potato pancakes fried in the pan or roasted in the oven goodness and that's all it is this is i dressed it up a little so i threw in leaking onions it's really a very traditional dish but in sonnet it's made with bacon and sometimes egg i leave that out and as i'm told for. the conversions of saul and classics. instead of speak you can spend over the skeptics it seems so. sue i think what we have here that's these are. playings

potatoes and fold bacon cream sauce on the spectrum's or. whatever you say. so what's the verdict. delicious. and you know we're interested in your holiday videos every week we show our viewers clip and this time it's from the get go. little from madrid he's been to southeast europe to bosnia herzegovina well and i've never been there so let's take a look together.

this splendid building in mid left was originally in the abbey for the past 2 centuries its house they had quarters of fill. the company has been making ceramics

since 748 some is displayed in the museum 15000 town painted art nouveau toilets cover the walls of the museum cafe among the designer pieces is this washbasin by luigi from the 1970 s. . the mosaic floors of the infamous titanic were made in metal off. the factory strand all tableware for consumers and fine china for monarchs and pull ups. porcelain for met love as exports to $125.00 countries. manufacturing ceramics still goes on in silence today but mining is history what's left is a fascinating industrial landscape and some parts are even open to visitors the best known attraction is the 1st link to the largest iron works in the country

industrial monument and a unesco world heritage site. the folk lincoln iron works its melted pig iron for over 100 years until 1986. it's the only iron works from the boom time of the industrial age to be preserved completely intact tourist visitors a glimpse of working life from long ago. i think it's pretty cool because there's so much iron and it's so huge. that such a big plant was so much technology a machinery. highlight is the blasting hole colossal machines generated the wind needed for blast furnace his. work at the furnace is was grueling especially in the extreme heat of the coking plant. over 17000 people toiled

away here at one point. nowadays the facility is ideally suited to arctic submissions. there are 6000 square meters of space to display all kinds of creative ideas every 2 years the urban art presence street art from the world over. it's also the perfect setting to make a lot of noise. since 2012 for one weekend in summer the electromagnetic music festival transforms the full klingon ironworks into one of germany's wildest rave venues it's been a lot of places listen it's a fabulous location the vibe is incredible it's really great. it's

a place to be techno. the ironworks maybe shut down but it's almost never. the romans recognize solid special qualities long ago as excavations near the village of bach have shown archaeologists uncovered the remains of a roman villa here it's been reconstructed on its ancient foundations the only one of its kind in the world i want to know more so i for arranged to take a tour. isn't here we are in the reception hall this is where the guests were received. typical of these halls where the conference ceilings then we have a semi columns the plaster columns decorating the roof or down below are the frescoes in the pump

a star you know we're not here we've been able to reconstruct an original. and. all the tiles found here are some 2000 years old archaeologists believe the entire room was paved with them. we move on to the heart of every roman villa the bass. they were big enough to accommodate in the press friends and business associates. this is the cull daria mob boss. this is the hot water basin. that's one thing that just imagine when the bars were in use you had an. indoor climate comparable with a modern steam bath it was 35 degrees celsius in here with condensation dripping from the ceiling. behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over

a fire warden the hot water was let into the basin through this lion's head. the smoke from the fires directed through the under floor system into the house to warm the rooms. when i was bound behind me you see bath sandals which still look modern today and flip flops exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them with the hygiene maybe good gas but the floor was just too hot for the fires weren't all that far away or so hot people found it necessary to protect their feet so they made these ancient flip flops and if it was. directly i could take a bath right here and now they are fully functional. another essential part of the roman lifestyle was of course good food up to 30 courses might be served at feasts .

there were this is where the roman slaves the savages prepare the meals and as we can see everything here is functional can even see the sort on the walls we also hold roman style cooking events here. so there what did the romans eat. you were our high society tossed pretty much everything in the park that had a heart beat stuffed flamingo tongues stuffed doll mice we found quite a lot of oyster shells here and the excavations and. got the hour before go on the go all classes lived on legumes and grains which were cooked much like a result or. it was very nutritious and filling up the market. a roman feast something for a future visit. and it's all right lucas before we say goodbye i've got a little surprise for you i just need to man it for price let's see.

here yes cloudy is felix because i'm sure you can imagine that a stately house like this was the dream of many a century and all pretty fact all. blended plans to spend their retirement. i hope you've enjoyed our tour and know a little more than when you arrived in austin but i said. if you think you know it's all ok as it was my pleasure and see you back here soon at the villa. well we're leaving the romans and sol that now and going to brazil the locals live there we're going to meet up with michael. and he's going to show us his home. they visit so welcome to south here in mina scott i stayed in brazil. so professor my name's markel truly or oppose oh i'm

a retired university professor and i'm going to show you the city starting with st francis of assisi church which is often displayed on postcards. it is a magnet it's a catholic church built in the late 18th century based in part on designs by antonio francisco lisboa who was known as the little cripple because an illness had left him disabled and disfigured if you don't do this economy but that didn't stop him from becoming the greatest sculptor of brazil's baroque. has a strong religious tradition there are chapels all over the city this one depicts a scene from the passion of christ. sound is 300 years old we knew it was founded in the early 18th century. but i'll go it was

discovered in the region colonists and adventurers came pouring in. the facades and stately homes still were flooded the cities affluent past. its old sinner is a protected historic site on them. so no no hey it was 85000 people live here and the city lies about 200 kilometers from the state capitol belo horizonte going to see ladies economy is based on the service sector followed by industry and agriculture you know. that there's one edge of the old town is the market with here you can buy handmade crafts and our traditional spirits. and other regional specialties feel. like you see those who are also sold here are the local sweets made from coconut. with. make your group we like to have them with me nice cheese and their food it's

made from raw milk and sold all over brazil as a specialty item. and 6 doesn't feel the historic train station of south devon a is another key site it houses the railway museum. good that they have the famous money or smoking maria still runs visitors take it to the nearby city of kiev and pays a visit this. this must along the 12 kilometer route you can see the countryside of minas guys were less meadows and mountains in particular the shell holes they mountains. since with no we've come to the end of our tour and our bit of challenge allendale day i'd like to invite you to come to the city you are sure to be given

a warm welcome to. the final stop on my visit to sol and it's the sa polygon near zali. this walk in sculpture was erected on top of a slack heap a hill made from waste material left over from mining. the polygon is a monument to the era of coal mining it's also meant as a symbol of how people here in salt land intend to approach the future. tourism is part of this future and i think that the small silent has great potential roman heritage industrial legacy rivers forests and then there's the proximity to our neighbors france and luxembourg and of course you mustn't forget the really good food here well on that note bye bye see you next time somewhere

else in germany.
