year round. the christmas tree as the real star of the german holiday season and then it beautiful. it's a german tradition that started through many centuries ago and here in the boardwalk the christmas tree has its own. this is a popular way of decorating the christmas tree in germany. at this museum you can discover the story behind the christmas tree. how as a pagan symbol of continual life through the winter it made its way from the forest into the home and the western christian tradition of decorating at. the christmas tree symbolizes life it is green at

a time when nothing else is green. that so it found its way into people's living rooms. at 1st it was unadorned. back in the 16th century we can trace indoor trees back to then gradually people started to decorate the trees with natural ornaments paper flowers not apples candy which could then be taken from the tree. there was a huge step forward in the 19th century with more developed technology for making. they became more popular as well. and other materials such as pay paul courson will also started being. the visitor to the museum can see how ornaments have developed over time starting off very simply and then becoming increasingly elaborate.

what about the. fish belong on a christmas tree. this is dressed in paper and i say it was mainly made in dressed in like. it's very valuable today a figure costs between 1803000 euros these were very cheap on a man from the 19th century because glass was very expensive today it's the other way around this is going to. long time only the rich could afford shiny christmas ornaments but now they're pretty affordable for everybody. generally the german tradition is to put the create in the living room and to

decorate it on christmas eve in order to avoid there are trees in unusual places. you open up here it's really quite strange soup that must be a tradition it's beautiful. why are the trees put up so high. up there is a local baker who also puts a tree out above the street every christmas. whoredom book is and was always on the trade route from north to self and self to north so many traders post through. the walls are in brackets in the front of the store as they used to in the case where the bakery was the butches or the inner city and then people thought about putting christmas ornaments up there because there was so very easy to see so the street became quickly recognizable. who knows whether this is actually true but either way it's beautiful and

a firm element of orton borg at christmas time. most of the hotels in the autumn walk are in the old town they can accommodate thousands store in peak times. the ayes and hotel tell is made up of 4 houses from the 50 s and 16th centuries they were turned into a hotel in 1924 and it wasn't long before celebrities started coming hotel manager . has agreed to show me a very special role. it was too modern or this room has a very special history in 1987 the japanese and to the throne state here.

what's funny is that many people seem to know this in japan. and as you probably saw there are many japanese guests here. they make pilgrimages just to see this room god it is just too much was in each of the hotels $78.00 rooms is different with the antique furniture and paintings this certainly feels like another time. sometimes it's nice to wave from the house. that's what my colleague steve harris thought. traveling the world he went with a friend to the north of no way to the rough and touch world of that of 410 islands let's take a look at his travel experience this. morning from the photo we start our discovery in the town of our which is also the beginning of the road which stretches over to the for.

the european road can connect to the larger island before with bridges and undersea tunnels. and our next stop is and i know which is located on the little island of the bigger mosque in a silent picture spot. the fortnight limbs are characterized by their mountains and peaks sheltered in the sun stretches of seashore which makes for an incredible road trip. if you're wondering if the fortnight. islands have nice beaches yes they indeed have this is that i'm backs that i'm full but it is that i'm back and this is basically the beach of what i'm. fascinated by these pristine beaches we were hungry for more and create our way to a place which is known for its or. maybe it's weird to be sure

when one starts the solenoids which is actually like the hot spot for surfing. right place our little bits to take for us so we decided. we. want to start our big surf is the hub for cold water surfers of the 4. indeed the founders were the 1st ones to catch waves up here today the foton attracts well known surfers from all around the world. thanks but we're stopping by it's called new security so that a fishing village right at this tiny york here very very picturesque. noosphere or is often regarded as one of the oldest and best preserved fishing

villages in norway was once home to more than 1500 fishermen. many of the old buildings related to the fishing industry have been renovated and taken care of and today many buildings can be visited. and they finished off our chimey to put the word over again in the little village of off every rented the fisherman's hut for the last night all right this is it from the 14 we had an amazing time here see our next one. while i look forward to an ha cinnamon buns autumn walk us snowballs. with thousands being sold on a good day they don't need to be even the media's latest still there a good gift for friends and family. i'm getting hungry this region of germany is renowned for its cuisine and why and.

the only wine maker in the water more costs also a restaurant. and if you ask nicely you might be allowed to have a little behind the store the cellar dates back to the 13th century. if you're lucky you'll be able to taste some why and. and the restaurant's food goes very well with the local wines i'm looking forward to eating is that one. that's meat which is marinated in wine and a combination of spices served with dumplings. now let's start from cornell specialties this long and there is one that everyone laughs at the simple dish by the licious the flanker trip out west this is our recommendation if you contre want to walk and want to eat a little snack. walking

through the christmas market there's a particular aroma in the yeah the smell of freshly grilled pot forced it belongs to christmas just as much as cookies and mulled wine. this in other words we grew up with broad forest and that's why we love them so much i remember an integral part of the christmas market experience regarding. this purchase appliance the market with fresh sausages it's a paradise for carnivores sanyo thompson is married to arish they serve the sausages to locals and tourists alike. it's delicious you know. we don't have anything quite this authentic at home we try to but we can't replicate it. the meat which comes from the region is mixed with

onions margarine not make white pepper and salt before being shaped into sausages. they then need to be cooked on both sides for about 10 minutes. they're often served with sauerkraut and bread. i suggest it's also good this is our traditional franconian broth for us and it's made just like it used to be and put in this in test case. it's very tender and there's a small strip of fat that lends the sausage a particular taste that distinguishes it from others. so it's only authentic when it's made like this. so you can get sausages anywhere but they won't be real franconian broth 1st unless they're made with this fine in test. time is. so near term things that christmas and sausages go hand in hand moreover the colder it is outside the more likely people are to want to eat sausages. to the story

certainly seem to agree with me part one was all into one we also have a sausage but it is a little sweet treats. for me this is so salty sudsy just passed by it suits the christmas atmosphere. and once you've eaten a hot sausage you can certainly braved the cold a little longer. than . the atmosphere here at the christmas market or to walk it's magical at night. locals call it that telus market. after the ride teller a mythical figure that people used to be afraid of now it's almost as popular

a santa clause. it's very common in the run up to christmas to meet up with friends and drink a cup of multiply and. i'm also meeting some special guests here she fell in a hard war from canada one of the latest edition of our raffle she and her husband a here with us at the market. it. looks like. it is. so welcome to the into the club you like it here it's been wonderful it's such a pretty city we had a fantastic day. discovering all the streets and the beautiful architecture and

nice people and the christmas market is just sort of it's like being in a christmas story very sad right yes yes very much you know we brings us back we. want to see feeling really you know so this is defers time in germany no it's actually our 4th visit and pretty lucky yeah we've been coming to germany we started in 2009 was our 1st trip and every time we come we just find reasons to come back even though it's far from home we kind of feel like home yeah yeah kind of that's when the fire away how do you celebrate christmas back home and kind of. pretty much the same as you can see we have the christmas tree about spending time with family having a nice meal together and having fun with opening presents yet or. maybe i don't

know if it's the same in germany but we used to eat too much here but i think also . and drink too much sometimes. sometimes what is new year's eve so usually you know if you enjoy it if you buy it it's actually next very good very good and it helps to keep us warm on the colder evening like this gives a little bit more of a special feeling to the christmas market too did you buy any christmas presents yes we did we bought some christmas ornaments and candies to bring to our colleagues at work who are very new our colleagues who are very jealous that you are coming here for for the christmas market so we promise to bring back a little bit something we've also got a little something for you. in the presence of weak memory from a wooden board moving in a bad way and i love some old balls so that's all present for you to get the whole poem to enjoy is an entirely a very nice gift christmas time oh thank you very much spencer we're happy that you
