today i'm going to give in to my wonderlust so i've come to what's known as the end strike which runs through the through engine forest. is one of the oldest hiking trails in germany it begins at eisenhower on the vessel river and ends in the town of dying on the river. it's customary to take stone from the vessel along with you it's said to bring good luck and when you reach the end of the bench take you through it into this is bits. so my mission is clear but from start to finish rich trail is about 170 kilometers long uphill downhill always along the crest of the thuringian forest it's going to be exhausting and maybe my shoes will look like this.

along the way i'll be served here in the biosphere reserve. our v mail this week takes us on a tour of paris. check in viewer shows us her hometown jakarta indonesia. the 1st section of the stock is up hill of course fortunately it's a low mountain range here in the thuringian forest so i don't have to huff and puff my way out to 2 or $3000.00 metres. all in all the trails stretches 170 kilometers some hikers do the whole thing in 6 days others in 8 or 10 . these are along the way let us know we're on the right path.

plenty of rest areas and observation points. from this bench you have a great view all bought book castle above eyes and. the vote book looks like something out of a storybook and it has made it into the history books so if you're in the area you should take a look at the castle and visit the town of eyes and. everyone who comes to eisenach wants to visit brockville council. for many germans it's more than just an 11th century council it's both a tourist attraction and a famous landmark and that has to do with one man in particular martin luther starting in $1521.00 he translated the new testament into german. here

a revolutionary act because anyone who could read now i had access to a. little wasn't the 1st to translate the bible but he did it very well and he did it from the original greek not just from latin into german but was this the time missions that. brought war council has been the scene of many historical events it's splendid rooms testified of that for instance the apartments of st elizabeth of the regina who lived in the castle in the 13th century. and the singers hall where in the middle ages a legendary contest among many singers took place. in 1017 about 500 students met here to demand the unification of the then fragmented german nation. and below the fraud lies the town of eyes and. the lutheran house where the protestant

reformer lived as a schoolboy. martin luther preached in st george's church. and in 865 in this house the composer johann sebastian bach another a lustrous eyes are not native was born the house is now a museum. you can round off your tour of eyes and off with typical the rigi and potato dumplings and a bottle of liquor why of course at the foot of the pot book. there are lots of things to see and discover on both sides of the rich trail like to lose a ton of waterfall. the waterfall is artificial a small river has been damped up here and forts 58 meters to the ground and.

by the way against ike was 1st mentioned in the 14th century as a border between franconia and trooping many boundary stones are still standing. and now i say so my biggest challenge in zits back mountain climb isn't easy but it's a bird. it's especially on a day like today. while enjoying a well deserved coffee i'll take the opportunity to write a postcard from the mountaintop. postcards are really old fashioned and

is much faster but some people even make a whole video of their journey. from bangladesh he was in paris for the 1st time in his life and here are his impression.

here on the back there's also a fun park. that's got a few questions for the manager. and then my 2 hikers from the get stuck ever come here looking for a change of pace. sure they do they walk past just 50 meters away so of course they stop. or what is there to do year. our oldest attraction is the alpine slide it's a 1000 meters long and 400 meters high. it's been here for 25 years.

but our main attraction is the v. flyer it's a prototype we're the only one to have it then there are lots of smaller writes for children who is the winter sports resort is not far from here has an olympic champion ever turned up here. yes carty vilhelm the former professional by athlete she lives near here and comes by from time to time. and they go down the alpine slight. alter net's a lot of fun. and now for a turn on the v. flyer.

my last stop here on in this back mountain the lookout tower 930 metres and the top . on one side forest as far as the eye can see. on the other side transmitters is its back mountain and at the very back i can actually see the book castle. here on the in the back mountain is a youth hostel right next to the grand strike and there are also a lot of accommodations in the vacation spots along the hiking trail but the most

unusual one is probably. seen michael's church has seen a lot in its day after all it was built in 859. but no one probably ever thought it would be used for love. here they come there. welcome to noise that i'm ranch tired of you got a good trip up all of this father and daughter of passing through the village they found these unusual courses on the online platform at the end be from 6 in the evening till 9 in the morning they have the chance to themselves. the churches and the open for overnight stays during the summer. tourists from austria present france sweden and us truly i have slept here it's not that serious but it's romantic and lots of people like it he's the big guys their own food and plenty of

enthusiasm for the project and there's enthusiasm for the guests who come to us for various reasons. to flee. my welcome the guests in the evening and in the morning i say goodbye to the of course i ask them why they've come out they've enjoyed their stay here and whether there were any problems for the big game. architect yanis longo designed the sleeping quarters unadorned reduced to essential but still aesthetically pleasing and overnight stay here costs $15.00 euros per person. for that you get a serene and special place to sleep and a lovely view of the organ. to him here in our setting to simple test the habits can we started this process of turning churches into places to stay here noisy. we hope that in 2 or 3 years we can do the same in several more churches in the region

where we like a string of pearls along the trench where hikers or even pilgrims can stop for a night. oh think of all to coordinate the project there are village churches all over touring and with smaller and smaller congregations so new ideas a need it. doesn't look like this is a chance to ensure these places aren't forgotten that we can bring them into the future and that they remain public spaces that are available to their communities and localities all. during the day regular church services are held. but in the evening to michael's church office hike has every special place to stay along the trail.

in the fallen by biosphere reserve i catch up with the guided tour group. has been offering deer watching tours for many years we walked deep into the forest so hopefully we will see some animals soon. as i might it's a big i'd like to ask you to stop your conversations now and stick together. you can ask me all the questions you want once we're up with the observation out. there it's ok if you speak quietly. thank you no talking that's kind of hard for me i like to talk a lot. as quietly as possible we all go into the observation not then we see them.

red deer in the wild and so close i didn't expect to see so many. model nicholas here with visitors almost every evening. said that you've been doing this for 15 years do you ever get bored or is there always something new and exciting here in the forest with him. get the more it will there's always something new to see in discover in the forest. and you never get bored of animals every evening is different. i think red deer's such appealing creatures and i like the way they look and behave can watch them every day.

when germany was divided you couldn't walk along the entire bench strike because a short section is located in bavaria which was part of west germany and the border between the states of tooling and bavaria was a no go area. fortunately this is no longer an issue and varia and almost exotic destination awaits. the hot house in the town of trying to tell. schmidt was one of the co-founders of this you fund the pilot project 15 years ago the hothouses warrants using heat from

a local blast manufacturer. exotic fruits coffee and spices thrive on the then strike with valid long environmentally harmful transports from asia or south america. and can you show me the most exotic fruit here the exhaust of the most exotic fruit right at the moment is down there the giant granite dia. in colombia it's called bad idea we also have seeds here from colombia the idea is the biggest passion fruit in the world. don't bump into it this thing you that think it's almost right now i may oh yes that most of us weigh as much as they do in their countries of origin in 4 to 5 kilos so you can almost hold it smells nice yeah it will probably have to be picked in 2 days. the bits and smell scented. that's true smell

sort of like liquid soberly. this is chile yes that's i have an arrow i love spicy food you won't love those. this is an indian naga or gucci lucky or chili pepper we have 2 colors here this is the yellow one i don't want to touch it because it burns when it mixes with sweat why it's for good burns your hand oh yes and you have to be especially careful not to touch your eye or to go to the toilet after touching it this is yellow we also have it in red until 2008 it was the world's hottest chili pepper at about a 1000000 scoville heat units europeans are said to be able to withstand $25000.00 without health concerns. as the measurement of its spiciness a chemist from the us to belive this measure of pungency scoville means i need to dilute this chili pepper with a 1000000 drops of water to neutralize it spiciness it. in. vomit and why do you have so many popeye us we've learned that the pyre is the plant that

really flourishes here when our harvest one and a half tons of papaya is on an area of about 500 square metres. the new advise them . of visitors for one then some is made into fruit spreads some visitors prefer that to taking a one or 2 kilo papaya home and we have customers in the restaurant business for instance a country in that interested in the project. if you would like to know more about this environmental project it is best to join the guided tour. mangoes and popeye or our exotic fruits for us here in germany but they are commonplace elsewhere and seeing those differences is exactly what makes troubling so exciting and things get even more exciting when local think us around and in our media local flawed media is going to show us the capital of in the media jakarta.

river and my shoes are still ok. hello hello hikers how long have you been on the trail. the 6 days i was a tough. well yes by the end of the day your legs are suffering. always it is but you don't look that tired and your shoes a still looking good what was the hardest part of the trail strings. the hardest part was climbing up in the back and it was hard going it was funny but it was worth the reward the next day we had sun and clouds over touring and the mist was grain. while they're throwing their stones into the river another group arrives on bikes. if you like of how long have you been on the road and that 3 and a half days is the against also good for cycling or do you have to improvise you.

know the cycling part is great it's a bit longer and sometimes runs parallel to the bench tike but sometimes on it it's a really lovely route so i highly recommend it. and here are a couple of fighters who are just getting started. hey where are you headed we're off on the ranch doctora this and that's where you get the stones that's right we read that people bring their own stone from the barrow to the bits but we're going the other way around and thought why not take a few back. why it's such a big one my stone is a lot smaller. if i found one like that i'd have taken it and stash. this stone from the vet the river brought me luck the weather was just perfect i met interesting people and experienced a lot of nature and like any other hiker on the bench i will throw this stone now

into this is it it's river. bye bye see you next time.
