sure some people will go for information public. opinions they want to express g.w. on facebook and twitter up to date and in touch follow us. and. today i'm off to the black forest in the southwest of germany. with my tour starts in freiburg the region's biggest city and attract some

$3000000.00 visitors every year. the old town is pretty killer the oppressive. fabrics biggest landmark is the cathedral here the beauty is in the details take these guard costs if you look closely at your realize that each of them is unique. as you stroll through the studio see little channels called thanks to them they can be found along many of freiburg streets during the winter months they're empty but in summer they're full of water. those have been around since the middle ages and they stretch out over more than 15 kilometers back in the day they were used to assure water supply but nowadays they've become more of a tourist attraction and a pretty dangerous one legend has it that whoever steps into them will have to marry a freiburg or so be careful. freiburg is germany's southernmost city and the

perfect starting point for a trip to the black forest. during the winter months the region's biggest draw is of course the snow i'm a huge winter sports fan and i'm going to do my very best to try everything the black forest has to offer the 2 classics skiing and sledding are on the ferry top of my list. and there is one thing i'm particularly looking forward to there's only so much i'll give away it's not going to be me who exercises i'm going to let a couple of furry friends do the work for me. also in today's program we'll show you some black words essential is from the cuckoo clock to the famous ball and. one of our viewers shows us around his hometown valencia in spain. and as always we got mail this time from paris.

the black forest is germany's highest mountain range and botton virgin backs number one tourist destination. from freiburg and it takes you about half an hour to get to the black forest by car on the way you pass by some fascinating sites as you head for the so-called valley of hell. but in reality it's not hellish at all quite the opposite the value shows nature at its best. this gorge for example is so narrow that if the legend is to be believed the deer once jumped from one side to the other. my journey and leads me to the frozen lake one of the many must sees in the black forest.

every year thousands of tourists full pir to like t.t.c. in both summer and winter to stroll along the problem dogs. a few kilometers away. it is even more water like sharks seen. you can walk the entire perimeter of the black forest because like on an 18 kilometer trail. nestled in a valley you'll find santa claus in cathedral it's domus 36 meters in diameter. like many towns here as santa claus in is surrounded by dense stock woods the local

most black hence the name black forest the abundance of wood is reflected in the local products the best known is the cuckoo clock. the wrong bank of the house company and shawna has been making them for more than a 100 g. is. part of our house in started with this design as you know what it's called a shield cloth it's hand painted and it's the original cuckoo clock time divide of the value in our company has developed variations on market so now we also make contemporary cocoa. went and they all strike the hour. and other regional tradition is a ladies' hat called the bottom hoot actually it's only more than 3 neighboring villages but it's become a symbol of the whole black forest. were these hats the

inspiration for black forest gateau there's no proof but they could be because the chocolate shavings somehow look a bit like the doc lords and shirish is a black farmer scatter a sponge cake basically kirchick your whipped cream and cherries and chocolate shavings. the black forest isn't just a place to go sightseeing or enjoy a meal it's great for winter sports and that nearly 1500 meter has its finest mountain in the felde but is almost guaranteed to have snow it's time to the region's biggest ski resorts. and. the black forest biggest skiing ariad no way i'm

missing that but 1st i need to fetch them gear no problem because there's a rental spot at the foot of the slopes. the there are 38 lifts around the felt back and some 63 kilometers of peace. i'm going to start with a blue slope one of the easier ones i haven't read in a while the 1st. great weather perfect snow and a view all the way to the alps i couldn't ask for more. time to try something a little more challenging oh. oh. oh

oh. that was amazing. and considering it's my 1st feature of the year i don't think i did too bad but as he is way too old school for you and you like to try out more innovative ways of moving around the globe i've got a great tip for you why don't you write snowkiting. snowkiting on the failed back it involves a car turning your way over the ice or snow on a snowboard all speeds you can even take to the air.

but of course you have to learn to land and breakers well fell back office plenty of courses for beginners. this esther and the 1st thing i have to know when setting up my car it is where is the wind coming from what do you think where is it coming from what is unbiased and then both your ears have to feel cold equally it's a bit hard with a helmet but still an out where your nose is pointing that's where the wind is coming from i have come to what i know like the only girl who. has to practice without a snowboard and with a mini cart that's not so easy right now the wind is gusting getting stronger but already the 1st participant is having a go with the launch cart. with winds of 47 and above things start to get uncomfortable but weather often changes

fast on the felt back of the group faster stronger if you go. bankrupt. the next day the skies are clear perfect conditions for snowkiting. in all or nothing too bad the only tree far and wide is in the way sometimes snowkiting involves climbing. and that's the most it's not the 1st time i've had to climb a tree. i'm a 3rd now you will know why we don't snow cockney obstacles. after that lesson suddenly everything goes beautifully but. yeah. everyone's really enjoyed it and they get plenty of praise for their efforts

. on flights and stuff. so if you want a new experience no country is just the thing and there's no doubt you'll get back there dremel and rush. things are great here in the black forest that's no problem there are lots of chalets restaurants and rustic and for instance the right maggi holds a guest house run by the andrews family. i know all gone to hell no anybody could have let me know that. it's located in beautiful surroundings near the fence about. hikers and cross-country skiers often stop here it's one of the oldest inns in the black forest.

these are now how long have you been running the guest house of the lake in my generation since 1905. and before that. another 5 generations. 825. the andrus families attachment to the region is reflected in their menu. i think i could really recommend steaks from steaks and. english they come from the council out there from a farm just 50 meters away from. the 1st answer so you raise your own food here. than i have has to go back to work but before i leave i need to try some of his food the best way to try as much as i can seems to be a platter with regional delicacies. trying local fare is definitely one of my favorite parts about traveling and our viewers

couldn't agree more he invited us to the spanish city of lindsay of the birth place . and we met up with him on the central market among regional fruits veggies and of course come on let's go meet a local. hello i'm carl this club bad and i love traveling the world but today i want to show you some of my favorite spots in my hometown of the lens here we start our tour in the heart of the city at the main market don't tell me to get into. that. because that is really tasty. gone

peter moore. yeah well i love this place at the center of the colors the fresh fruit and vegetables if i like wandering around the markets and i enjoy showing visitors around to see that that he was. there that was there to tell them to head for the old silk exchange another famous landmark in valencia market and i just don't fit in there you know. why no m.p.'s we have very proud of this building it was declared a unesco world heritage site in 1996 on december the 7th my birthday if that wasn't what i mean i suspect this is the most impressive room with its elegant columnist in a 3 looking thing they say that they say your. silk another products were traded here

from the 15th century all months for naught it will be important. that. this is a. but others like him i also like take him because it is around the old central and south bend and i think this district with its narrow streets is called elk out of manhattan and used to be pretty rundown with the bath and then some 20 years ago restoration began and now a lot of young people live here. and there when the people there. he was the old buildings have interesting features like cars stand balconies that are decorated with tiles you know now those that set up a call for the region i mean we put up your that. they help us out of us time now to leave the past behind us and head for valencia's most modern landmark which will

really surprise you. yet this is the city of arts and sciences it's made up of a number of different buildings think loued the opera house and our science museum with the other. is that a lot of this. reflects our mentality in valencia we do things you know big way. we're going to get it's getting so time to wind up to all by the same i hope you enjoyed it and that your common visitors one day hear that imbalance you. see that. charles pale.

would you like to show us around your hometown. become our travel guide. to find out how to check you out on our website. dot com slash travel. for you have i been waiting for this moment i know i know been as russia because so i don't come online. i get to go dog sledding with these adorable huskies my gal luna and the rest that's a ban from lenz kay says it is important that his visitors learn how to handle the dogs. yet all do they have to be before they can be harnessed to a sled skipped i need to huskies a husky just size that for him so it's a deficiency they can take part in basis after that 18 months old. dozens of them

he's about racing harnesses and there are different sizes. and the most money you have to put them on. the strongest dogs pull the slates and the ones that listen well the leaders in your ok but harnesses are always the same for the front and the back. you know it's the only different size no mark this year but still recovering i think it's both economically key and your take it. on. that i have harnessed the dog. the dogs can hardly wait. before we get out of the sled we give them a drink now in winter the huskies are really busy but what's it like in summer. almost under basically they rest in song they don't do anything anymore that's what we give them less to eat it's like when bess hibernate. the monkey can watch them

as usual but in temperatures above 20 degrees celsius when you don't do much with siberian huskies gonna smell that ok so let's get going 6 'd. and where off sasha's assistance attach the dogs to tell clients. that. to get used to it i go for a spin with sasha staring. it's hot but i look at trying to love myself he has a few tips and. he doesn't need me but the what happens when i lean into a curve to the dogs go along with mean by they don't know in front what i'm doing behind them. they doesn't mean no they don't want to talk to them but then what are the commands how can i get them to do what i want. young ones we've trained them in

german and in english at school too which is but it's also i guess we've found that works best the know if you want to go there if you say links in with a smooth if you want to go right you say to the movie if you want to slow down you say so to stop you say stop and go go go go yeah boy on the south. we're off again. not easy but the docs aren't listening to you they're. pretty damn. good at making the big. time 1st even if i didn't mean to all that was truly a once in a lifetime experience but much like skiing it's an experience that can only be had if there's enough snow during the month of january and february so it's pretty much

assured here in the black forest but still being at the mercy of the elements always makes for a bit of an unpredictable vacation but don't you worry even if there is no snow at all you won't be getting bored here in the black forest. this scale it's may not be running but the dog sleds could run on wheels and the summit above the running toward now is going at full tilt. if there's no snow in the black forest it doesn't mean your vacation is over. the summer toboggan run takes you almost 3 kilometers downhill. or you can cook a carriage ride. complete with mulled wine or a hot toddy. if you plan to go cross-country skiing

get out your poles anyway and go hiking instead. and if you just can't do without eyes at least there's some at the skating rink not only can you skate here you can also try your hand at curling. or you can just relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery with or without snow. thankfully i have snow to spare so i can give sledding a shot no haskins this time. progress so that. there are countless to bottom runs in the black forest i'm at the one in lens kids the track is over a kilometer long and it's nothing for the faint hearted. usually

there's a bus that will take you back up the mountain but it doesn't run very often and just missed it so i have to walk a. time now to leave this winter wonderland behind once more and dive head 1st into the hustle and bustle of beautiful paris our viewer friendly corrodes from costa rica travel to the french capital and shot a video of his very memorable trip thanks for that freddy and everybody else enjoy our v mail from.

my winter chiller through the black forest is coming to a close but i finish with a chassidic view of the landscape. we've already reached the end of our little trip through the black forest i really hope you had as much fun as i did and maybe even got a little curious about visiting the area yourself because and no matter what your favorite wonders board may be here you can pick your poison and rest assured you'll have a blast. above
