never would have gone on the trail of you i would not support myself and my parents so you know how dangerous to god it's a demon to to get a fleet worth. of one funky deposit on the body because i'm i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but once i'm going to. i want to know their story for my great stratifying to marvel informing for more grants. me. this may look like a scene from a bunch movie but it's actually europe's training base. and i

welcome to your own max we'll return to that later but 1st let's take a look at what else we have for you today. more ammo fashion labels are offering free repaste and blowing t. sounds. also but is a full scallop in germany and household alicia's and unusual ingredients. our reports are handily developing found the next european record for serious you're up to the max and this time he went up a mountain so intimidating even mountain iest didn't dare climate for a long time hand like made his way up in a train which started in 1912 and goes to the highest train station in europe. it's known as the roof of europe and one of the world's most. most iconic sites

they yearn for you and this was else. and that's where i'm going today i'm climbing almost to the top of the ufo but without eyes begin climbing rope i'm taking the train to the highest train station in europe. it's always been a dream of mine to travel through this snow we all pine landscape by train here we are on route to the famous mountain trio the eiger nuns and young folk it's around 80 kilometers from switzerland's capital bend to the euphoria of station the cop will railway has to send some 1400 meters during the final stretch. conductor could cross not says this is his favorite groups a large part goes right through mountains in a tunnel it took 16 grueling years to cut through the eiger and the men's at the beginning of the 20th century finishes hard to not miss and it still amazes me even today the guys that look at how the entire tunnel is natural has no cement so right

now in the stuff you can see the drill holes. the weather sticks of dynamite my last mile that in wollongong. after half an hour we arrive at the young failure of . europe's highest train station located at 3454 metres inside the mountain. the young star railway has been taking visitors to the top since $912.00. beyond being europe's highest train station it also has the best view. i couldn't wait to see it so headed outside 1st and gazed over this was mountains and on its glacier the largest glacier in the arts and the unesco world heritage site. to me building a railway line up here seems like a crazy. the idea back inside the building complex and there's

a vista told me it was even more crazy back then he's been working here for 30 years and knows the young for your inside out including its history. he explained how dangerous the railways construction was 30 workers lost their lives diseased it seems sure you can see how tough all this manual labor was back then floor after every knock that quarter turn the drill and then a colleague would knock it again and that's how they knocked these drill holes about 80 centimeters deep into the rock then it and then fell then when it was deep enough that put dynamite inside and blow it up contadina me. down with the gish putting. weather is unpredictable at the young for you and can change without warning the annual average temperature is at minus $7.00 degrees celsius. and you feel a bit like a king with you really are above europop here at 3500 metres height and informed me

that around and with these extreme winter conditions it's like being at a polling station of the cold and windy cold them in so. so you need a thick skin go through and warm guys. so that all the. temperature wise it's definitely more comfortable in the restroom cristal here you can order the typical swiss fondue melted cheese served with bread or vegetables for dipping. in a half hour men or just the 3 restaurants and a bar on the door for your for every year more than a 1000000 visitors come here by rail on day trips article came to percent of visitors here come from asia the middle east india china the brave ones or the cheese fondue because they've heard of it but they're often surprised when it arrives especially the japanese huge part with warm cheese that's pretty strange for someone from japan and it's an american medic. before taking the train back

down i revisited the best part of the view. if you have a bit of luck with the weather it's really breathtaking of you but without the train i would have never been able to come up here. and you can find the complete europe to the max serious a you tube channel including handling stops lead right and the night stand in a swedish ice hotel. fast fashion may be inexpensive to buy but it comes with big environmental costs which is why more and more designers are choosing to produce slow and sustainable fashion they work with certified tech starts and make long lasting clothes and a growing number even offer free repairs and warranties. these clothes come with a warranty the label next preserve song sustainability is based in little green

world to be patched up. and for the idea is to be sustainable and to offer customers good jeans for the longest possible time for many people dump their trousers and it's always a shame when they get ripped. a new pair of jeans costs around 120 to 150 euros here they're also 2nd hand ones repaired and as good as new customers seem to like the concept of the. soul of the g.m. they're kind of damaged but they have the how the personality is so the further you can repair it and it's so easy and so it's really critical they love it. next also recently began selling secondhand. items this is untrue this is our vintage section where customers can drop off their old items and receive points for the new collection of the components of could soon as you can all change donate and choose new clothes. fashion that isn't fast but that. stylish and comes with warners.

how do you keep coming up with new and exciting ideas and find rare and exotic ingredients well some work with so-called food scouts over in the u.s. food scouts have been around for a while but it's a new profession here in germany. is one of the 1st. what does it take to be a food scout do you need to be armed to the teeth always on the hunt hardly much more important our sight smell and taste. as food scouts or from scouts i look for extraordinary projects here in franconia of area for us to use in our goal my restaurant alexander hamilton. you're the asphalt will sometimes travel several 100 kilometers a day to scout we 1st followed him to visit sebastian solomon who breed sturgeon's

and produces caviar. if you disobey but it would be more possible it was tasting a very special version of this delicacy whites to golden caviar from albino sturgeon's. the food scout was impressed. circulars at 3 euros per gram albino caviar is about 3 times as expensive as black caviar. that it's pretty rare which is why i'm very happy it works so well by sebastian's and or and it means we can offer these regional caviar in a restaurant and that's very special to. us. next the food scott went to sebastian leader miles farm and bam back in southern germany it wasn't a restful visit to the pair dug up one metre long roots from the soil trying not to damage them that we've now got lots of juice in them and the more you damage them

the more juice comes out that's a sign of quality and if i want to follow that and poll them out but i rip them that i need to stop from the beginning again of the old and the only extraordinary specialties warrant this much work what the 2 men are after are licorice roots these are usually found in west asia and are used for making licorice. but how does licorice root fit into gourmet cooking your brought his freshly secured treasures to the restaurant to head chef to b.s. bates for tasting and quality assessment 1st the albino caviar. but. it doesn't have much flavor yet because it's so fresh. both agree that the sturgeon rose still needs to develop its full flavor so should be left a few more days. next the food scout and head chef brainstorm ideas for including

licorice on their menu. brutus series holds its i can see the licorice featuring in some type of dessert there is time it may be combined with chocolate and fruit. and that's exactly how it was served licorice and chocolate were combined in a black truffle which was finally shaved onto a plum sorbet. the team in the gourmet restaurant has already won 2 michelin stars. there is also a fine a star kitchen which serves carefully composed dishes. scouts and finds ingredients for both bistro and restaurant. exotic fruits tend to lose a lot of flavor on long haul flights so the food scout gets them locally at cline eden palm house and. a fruit safari for star cuisine woman i'll be there on an answer but today the hunch is for spice with some

a fire in the air we've got to leave you and while chilly and down there is a type of china each as little as a tie to the know your god isn't only here for the chili's he's also after their leaves. at 1st the head chef is baffled. as all floods have been the greens are often just cut off without some mistake here with the chilly foliage it makes sense to keep them with. well you say you again saw something no one else word here is the good and the leaves ships hippies trips to vegas nicely all those by sea tributes are truly chips the leaves are tossed in temper a batter and then deep fried in hot oil. next to b.s. baits coats the green chips with a fiery chili paste. branch

as it spies into. the suburb of spicy but sensational you really come up with something special here. caviar from the albino sturgeon licorice roots from a farm in bam back and spicy chips made from chile leaves. and with that food scout your cost filed heads off on a new journey there's still a lot more to discover. designing and building churches has probably always been one of the most challenging faiths in architecture to vote for the a is from france and he's a devoted churchgoer of those not so much because he's religious he visits them as a traveling photographer and he's always on the lookout for new subjects. for me it's definitely the architecture and the power of this modern architecture

through the 20th century. they always have a central point of view in that the churches are always empty. so my goal is really just to create the sort of. feeling so that people can you know immerse themselves in the architecture. book for years seeks out modern churches around the world for his photo series sacred spaces. like notre dame to try in paris it's original it's different from anything you could have seen and also it has this visual impact with the difference of materials with you know the wood the steel the lighting is very very interesting and it. you know the workers of that era so it also has

a very emotional. impact i think on the whole neighborhood. this perspective presents the architecture in the best possible light. and yeah you see in this one what's really beautiful is that the pillars are you know all aligned so you really want them to be you know popping out of the photo so in that way you know the architecture speaks for itself there is no destructions it's always the same the same angle and when you put them all you know next to each other they're all very different but you get a cohesive. feeling of you know all the different churches. lives in paris he discovered his passion for modern churches 4 years ago and since then he's photographed 36 of them in europe and asia. the most difficult part is finding them. because. when you start the series

basically you start from 0 and there is a few that are kind of famous but most of them are not so it's it's mainly finding all the all the churches in the remote spaces so you would maybe never passed by and you would actually not imagine what this is like maybe offices but not really. maybe a museum one this is no tour done to lash to learn young's a cube shaped church on the outskirts of paris what the church is can very very radically and i think the reinterpreted what a church is. with the architecture because the. church is fairly basic and it's huge there's. the central part that's always there and then basically people sit around it. she goes approach is always the. same he looks around chooses a point of view and takes

a single shot. that's it. at home he makes only minor corrections to the image most of the work is already done to mow is actually an interior designer and for him photography is just a hobby because his photo series have attracted attention around the globe. like his project sleeping venice from 2018 he was able to capture almost surreal looking images of the city on the venetian lagoon. venice without the madding crowds. since 2015 probably has also been taking pictures of libraries around the world this photo series is his most famous work to date. it's a specific space that everybody understands you know libraries or churches everybody's been there at least once in their lives. and they were made for

a specific reason and so what i really find interesting how these architects have you know created. you know these different buildings but with the say the same purpose. one of his favorite churches is notre dame do not sell it in paris he feels that the round concrete structure emanates a sense of tranquility 'd. i guess i'm a pretty cool guy i mean i like it when i'm alone in these places because you actually get to experience the architecture in a very different way you know. it's just for it seems like it's been built just for you when you're there and you can witness it for you know how are you perceive it. and in the photos people can imagine themselves in in the picture. for his photo series of sacred spaces

a testament to faith in the power of modern architecture. if you're visiting the netherlands in the next 2 weeks you may also want to stop by the city saval of that's where europe's biggest ice sculpture festival is taking place until the 1st of march artists from around the world cough to $500.00 tons of ice and snow into beautiful scotus which takes us on a journey through time. from the dinosaurs to cleopatra. to the vikings. and the industrial revolution this year's ice sculpture festival in the dutch town of let's visitors travel through time people flocked to the festival from all over to marvel at the statues which are made of around 550 tons of snow and ice.

bundled up against the cold they take photos of the sculptures and enjoy the magical atmosphere. for other very briefly went away from the tropics and to see this under their roof i'm not having these eyes culture of my definition i didn't think it was possible yeah all hands to take photographs i have to put on mark knopfler to gether. it's amazing if it's a big goal because. it's ok. i'm here prefers time i'm shooting a. picture of. some 40 ice carvers from all over the world descended on smaller they spent 2 weeks carving the sculptures out of ice and snow here spend more of its from germany is working on a statue of shaka zulu one of the most influential zulu monarchs. if you need to make details is a good enjoyable part because if you do everything right you see every big grocery

getter is. striving for artistic perfection is not the only challenge the canvas face the temperature inside the hole is about minus 10 degrees celsius so it's hard to stay warm the blocks of ice are up to 2 metres tall and it's a tough job to sculpt them using sharp chisels and chainsaws. it's hard to go work at the end of the day everybody if you have the shoulder or arm was. detained and their preferred mode of danger the good work that you. were my friend dr your daughter endured you've broken down. most of the carvers are professional artists they travel the world to sculpt ice and snow but they also work as traditional stone sculptures graffiti artists. the ice sculpture festival is always a highlight of their year. this is more of a fun thing to do coming to europe and and working on

a big scale that you don't get to do the this kind of thing normally go quickly. once the carvers hard work is completed visitors can enjoy the giant works of art complemented by colorful lights and atmospheric music. this is the in a journey through time announced visitors to see important historical figures and with newspapers all moments in history up close. just like previous years we're always looking for a theme that's familiar all round world for all ages and with all these stories throughout the time it's a perfect fit. your hands might get cold but the dutch ice sculpture festival is definitely a heartwarming event. just about
