time here and it's a great festival everything's marvelous with the festivals wonderful and the people are hospitable i love it and i want to come back. 29 year old sales clerk looked as german grandparents today should be representing the old country as an october 1st princess she has no shortage of enthusiasm for. the best. and very grateful it's an honor because as a little girl i dreamt of being october 1st royalty and here i am it's in just. everybody loves it and lots of people join in for the parade we love that too so it's a very emotional thing because it's a dream come true. then everyone heads to the fairgrounds called the germantown the revelers all join in both ethnic germans and tourists anyone who care and shows

up and later hosen or dirndls. up at the table but it's a german festival so we dressed as tradition dictates besides it pays off the guests who show up in costume don't have to pay admission as it says in traditional dress we feel more a part of the festival and it's just nice. it's fun everyone dresses up like this. the queen and her 2 princesses make their daily rounds they keep a tight schedule for the 3 weeks of the festival. during the day we're at events and evenings were at the festival so people can take pictures and get acquainted with us we represent the festival and people simply love the attention at what is still looking for you very important every evening they stroll around the festival pavilions opening events like the traditional

drinking contest. many brazilians falsely believe meter drinking is a typically german custom the idea is to chug the contents of a one metre long glass tube the fastest. was the arrangements of german october fest standards or dance to brazilian moves for instance the song of the airmen song in both german and portuguese. everyone can dance along with it. instead of wooden benches or revelers lock arms and sway to and fro. here at the brazilian october fest they have a huge dance floor. in germany we noticed that people prefer to sit it's more dignified here we like to get loose we hop around and have a party. while the royal highnesses have to retire at midnight the party goes on

to the wee hours of the morning unlike the original munich the gloom in october 1st is not subject to a legal closing time. if you've had enough of partying and need some peace and quiet how about a walk in the woods to hand for mushrooms this excited he is becoming more and more popular among city to us also here in berlin and spending time in the forest is a perfect balance to busies trust for city life and mushroom picking is an added bonus as long as they have a tickle. commercial photographer moritz schmidt enjoys the peace in a delicate nature of a forest bursting with life in autumn he spends as much time as he can in the woods searching for mushrooms he feels it's the ideal way to relax sure it's really great

sometimes you'll just see a little cap sticking out and with 4 chinos if you're lucky you'll find an enormous mushroom hiding underneath down among the pine needles in moscow. the mushrooms go pretty deep down. so it's always a surprise when you discover. that. being in the forest can bring a lot of joy. decided to share his experience with others when he finds the mushroom he photographs there and tries to capture its beauty his book into the woods is a visual journey through the forest into the realm of mushrooms. through coffee as a photographer i'm not just interested in mushrooms for their taste but for their shape too there are endless variety you discover new kinds of every forest i just can't get enough of the shapes and colors. schmidt has been working as the photographer in his studio since 2009 but in fact he's rarely there most of his

assignments take him abroad the high professional demands of international photo shoots create one thing in abundance stress. i spend lots of time on the road i fly a lot and have a terrible c o 2 footprint i travel around the world and there are lots of people often large groups of people. playing everywhere all day i kind of have to play the clown for everyone i enjoy it all of course but as a counterbalance i need the nice and quiet of the forest. that except commercial photography also influenced the images in his book all the photos reflect his love for the forest and mushrooms it's a bit like moritz schmidt's personal guide to happiness in walking the books not only about mushrooms it's about an approach to life finding joy in the forest that's why the book is called into the woods hunting mushrooms and finding happiness. often it's the young upwardly mobile urbanites who have discovered the

advantages of mushroom foraging over partying whether a project director in marketing or a d.j. in label head many people are taking to the woods to hunt for mushrooms. my life as a d.j. means i spend. internationally always on the road this kind of tranquility is the exact opposite. it's a big adventure to roam through the woods learn about new mushrooms and then take them home to cook its farms. in order to trade the urban jungle for the forest and mushroom hunting all that's needed is a pocket knife a sturdy shoes and a basket and getting an early start is a good idea. if you go into the forest early you'll be rewarded with a great atmosphere it's often still foggy the birds are singing and of course being the 1st one there is key to hunting mushrooms nothing's more frustrating than just finding mushroom cuttings or no mushrooms at all. a few rainy days in

a little sunshine brings the mushrooms shooting out of the ground many are edible but a few are highly poisonous. schmidt has a tip for beginners. as a general rule it's good to gather beliefs you can tell by looking underneath but they have little sponges poorest layer instead of gills gills would be little stripes almost none of the beliefs are poisonous mushrooms so it's hardly possible to mix them up these mushrooms are really foolproof and your. basket with delicious mushrooms just waiting to be prepared frying red pints and seps together will provide a wonderfully fresh an intensive taste experience but a satisfying way to end a walk in the woods. when you have to do. it . and i next report a former stockbroker and successful businessman in the pharmaceutical industry gave

it all up to take over his parents' winery in trance that was 30 years ago. long ago lost interest in chemistry finances to rest. now he believes in the cosmic palace of. harnessing the moon and the custom to make wine may sound like mumble jumble but the frenchman is now considered one of the pioneers of biodynamic wine. the word valley is called the garden of france it stretches across the center of the country and for centuries has been the site for the cultivation of some of france's best wines like the legendary white wines of the chateau de la harsh and one winery insider is called vinegar nikolaus only the wine pope his kool-aid is the hong counts as one of the world's best white wines and nickel nationally as the father of biodynamic diddy culture. you pull all of

you. see biodynamic agriculture as the solution it connects the location with the earth's natural cycle of life that's what's unique you might get smaller yields a higher cost but the result is an authentic flavor simply share mysie fight. the grapes are harvested. as they have been for 889 autumn is now. history and monks planted the 1st. 1130 only once the grapes have ripened perfectly and they have a slight yellow tinge harvested until then they're tended and given her. greater balance and harmony. 4 or 5 weeks before the harvest i always give them a wash of honey from our beehives and rose hips through the wild roses quite extraordinary . dynamic compound to the.

case that way down the grapes with far more flavor. times for planting the vineyards hectares and fertilizing and harvesting the grapes so influenced by the planets. only insists the phases of the moon have a decisive the fact on the flow of juices in the plants as do the tidal ebb and flow the lunar calendar is an essential factor in the biodynamic methods at the winery now run by nikolaus daughter. city that see the movie also the interaction of all the planets it's a ballet of the planets in relation to the constellations throughout the year. they influence the growth of the vines the folks.

see themselves as nature's assistance they never use artificial fertilisers only the dung from their own livestock which are also part of the biodynamic concept they keep cattle especially for this purpose and strictly control was the key. diet today they get apples from the wineries on the orchard. biodynamic growers regard the cow horns filled with dung as a kind of super premium fertilizer for the vines. that's not all sweet on t.v. but they're buried in left in the ground for 8 months. now is the right time for them we dig them up again in spring said by then also a cow dung in the horns is thoroughly composed and can be used as fertilizer for the soil felt it cut most really strongly sort of the. heat of the grape harvest is going into the final stretch twice a day personally serves the pickers

a little picnic with coffee tea and home baked cakes and. once for fresh they take the hand picked grapes to the press. a good pressing takes about 3 hours. then the grape juice is poured into oaken barrels which go into the winery cellar for 6 months then the wine is ready to drink nothing is added. the annual production averages some 50000 bottles the unique pure white wine from the surely winery can even be enjoyed 20 years later. it will soon be taking over completely from her father. just since. i was born here and you could say this wine flows in my veins. were part of it i can't imagine ever doing anything else down in the remotest was sides this place

has lots of history my brother and i want to continue this history so the lifestyle here can be preserved with the help of biodynamic bit of culture as far as possible many. others may dismiss there's only one race math or even scott at them as now. hokus pokus but they can't argue with success not only their showpiece wine. but all their white wines get good reviews from consumers and consumers alike. family knows the truth is in the flavor. every year and also the tradition of cattle drives take place all over the alps when they kept a return from the pine pestis it's a huge event and people come from all over to take part in the celebration the cow wasn't even decorated for our series quickly cast those i decided to join one in south taro it's a province in italy but they speak german there and the couse the way.

i have to kiss an ox and swing away for this of but. there is the largest of the highest meadow in the alps i'm here uphill from cast old selves to roll out with the cattle drive. this day means the end of the summer for the cows i might tell and so there is to bring them back to the. it's early morning high up in the meadow the herd of nearly 40 belongs to the leak i couldn't ever bring them all down by myself the farmers have to help out. for the occasion. and before we had down to the valley everybody has to fuel up we'll be walking 23 kilometers today. and here we have a kind of beauty salon for the i've a couch they be decorated for the drive the farmer has

a clear favorite. of that this is my sunshine she'll stay with us until she dies that's certain. no sunshine has taken part in 7 cattle drives me to lunch at some point enough is enough up here at an altitude of 2000 meters you can keep the cattle up here forever it's a wonder that they even stay up here that they don't start wandering down on their own right wandering down on their own. the winter cold sets an alley in the high mad i'm actually interested with the leading one bull i have to take care of louis the ox for the next few hours but he's stubborn as well as an ox. i turn on the charm to try to win over the race everybody has its own personality but in the end all of them can be handled. the herd gets on the way slowly singlemindedly and unstoppably lewis does whatever he wants.

well he's not far we won't be stopping for any breaks till we reach the back that's a 5 hour marched down here at a brisk pace. farther down we pass a little hamlets like company which spectators lines of both locals and tourists the cattle drive is an important festival for the entire beach but those cold boats a pretty noisy. then suddenly trouble one of the oxen has broken away and must be chased down the tourists must have spooked him one of the help a spot him high up the mountainside. one wrong move and he might fall. but the farmer son knows how to calm him down even so the bull has to climb back down on his own he's quite eager to return to the.

down among the traffic and well wait that one of the cows might become. but they're fine they calmly navigate the roundabout no problem but a little property damage can hardly be avoided. here and cast a vote the farmer some to herd are greeted like celebrities hundreds lined the streets to witness at least part of the kettle drive and the farmers getting well we watch. the last few metres to the farm. the cows know their home they'd be able to stay outside in the pasture next to the farm house for one moment meanwhile i check up on luis the ox one last time. he's not you know. everything. even after

a 5 hour down at the pharmacy to help us and. family at least i still want up. all of the work the farmers have throughout the whole year is really celebrated on this one day and the farmers can show how proud they are of their cows and that is a really nice thing. i may not be born to be a cow though but at least i held out to the end and the cows probably like the summer and the alps better but here they make it through the winter. and i can tell you i had some muscles 4 days after that cattle drive but it was a fall today check us out online for more exciting stories and this week's straw for me and the whole team here in berlin.
