awfully trite but it comes straight from the heart of. the feel the emotions and intimate journeys to death starts to maintain d.w. . castle dream evil legis. and a river that unites it all. iman's

by a dog on the lawn a tributary of the river running. my plans a 2 day canoe tour around the one valley. to me. i will say we're excited about what awaits me on this trip the river the landscapes and that challenges alan counter along the way i have 25 kilometers ahead of me from via walk all the way to a town called one could. go on the shelf we catch up with our globe trotter on his adventure and karega stand. one of our viewers shows us the sights and sounds of moscow. and we take you on a tour of frankfurt. but

for now via book just like many towns along the line this small city too has a spectacular palace this one was built in the 17th century and is considered one of the most remarkable baroque castles of the region. from here i get a great view of what's coming next and heading down to the river and out onto the water. so this is your motor on the level it's a single blade paddle going on stosh public one hand up here the other down here done place it in the water and holes by there are any typical beginner's mistakes i've never really done this then yet if you go under some low drainage then paddle out backwards this is you don't want to get caught up in the branches otherwise you could caps are would the cause of the world is going to learn my best to avoid that

. tornado hard life. your hold on to the boat sit down and that's it. for us. oh my god oh my god don't you dare flip us over. with your shit don't worry just let go it's normal for it's walking it has no flowers it does and it's about. i'm gonna go. and because i've got quite the trip ahead of me i've enlisted a little support my producer andrea's has agreed to help me paddle. sailing board not the only ones who have heard about the beauty of the law on groups of schoolkids keep us company on the. stretch.

so much though that we even get into a little traffic jam after crossing germany's only boat we have to go through a lock. on the other side peace and quiet the region along the lot isn't just famous for its castles and fortresses it's a well known for its beautiful landscapes to. getting back to the castles here is a figure that once surprise you according to the european castles institute there are about 25000 in germany many of them are into going to state anymore but they all still have that i mistakenly romantic.

visitors come from all over the world to see germany's many consuls and palaces. they stand as witnesses to a bygone era. many dates back to the dark and mysterious middle ages they were mostly designed as fortresses overlooking rivers or positioned in highland areas. often destroyed in fighting some have been rebuilt many times over. most of the consuls in germany are privately owned either inherited or bought. a council like this one in the west an eyeful region requires a lot of money to maintain. elks castle is one of germany's most outstanding gems a genuine medieval fortress that has never been destroyed. tourism provides a key source of income to help for the upkeep there are guided. every 10 minutes

the car still has belonged to be out family for more than 815 years. becoming the book and i'm so stunned each generation has a duty to pass on the consul in a better state than they received it and so obvious so we've worked hard to restore the roof i knew the windows and do all the other jobs that need doing it. in this way but there's still a lot to do and there will always be there is for me and for the next generation to finish they're going to have still. the need by listening in consul is also privately and wasn't going to listen board to the consul and is now restoring it to a labor of love the former teacher is investing a lot of money and effort in the project. you do have to be a little bit crazy to take on something like that. some of the supporting beams in the great whole rotten and the council was in danger of collapse. so germany's

monument protection authority came to the rescue along with the local authorities. and it's good invest your money is being invested here to preserve a historical monument. it's in the public interest of the public funds are going into it but without the owners financial commitment it would have been impossible. without the love and dedication of the council own as these historical gems would surely been lost. the landscape around the line is truly impressive and as intruders were being carefully observed by the locals came my looks like we have a new friend in a. lot of the land. oh.

we survived our 1st day of canoeing and their reward will be spending the night at this riverside campsite in a tiny wooden hut. tell us cramer shows me my home for the night is the hopelessness with the hudson mainly for a canoe or to stay one or 2 nights and want to have some home comforts these girls often go for physician or a man don't want their tent on the boat things they both yeah or on a bike about holder. so step this way. all this is a lot more comfortable than a tent well these are yeah no comparison to your average time to work.

night is falling on the lawn and the campsite to calm down. before i hopefully get the well deserved rest i want to invite you guys to catch up with our globe trotter his most recent travels took him to central asia to kurdistan and there he had tons of fun hiking horseback riding and discovering the country's cuisine of course. the moment we're come to. a country which is defined by its mountains this is why in this episode we're focusing on how to do things which account for local life and we're going to taste the local cuisine. kyrgyzstan is not really isolated by its highly mountainous terrain which has helped preserve its asian culture a country gained its independence. as

a nation state after the breakup of the soviet union in 1991. 103 characters frank. on a horse with. knowledge of horses take a well deserved break before we can enjoy if you. could see here is a true nomad camp this is where people live to have their horses here to have goats and cows over there this is the life that the people used to have it were actually mountain nomads a sad 80 percent of the country calm out and so they packed up their camp considered up to the next really didn't have a day wanted to or to have to. welcome to come back all the city which was founded by the russians as a strategic location to explore everything which is south east of kabul today it's

a strategic location fall out of love just because of its proximity to the highest mountains of the country. it's time to introduce you to. peacetime and with this week you kind of have to market your will. and we're doing that sort it out here to market. that's right so what we have here is. and it's basically a. function like chinese muslims. here and. it also creates about. the tardis called a soul which is basically pressurized meat pickles you come bust on you and the guy. golly. the next stop is the french cats and that's also

how i feel very privileged is that here sherman creek and somebody from up here. i'm doing you know one day trip here with me and i'm just called to your to look tricky because of the show next name's not about so far trek 6 kilometers. as talk is where we're going we got our belts they. sort of take on the last too long. you know the thing with hiking for me is. that i always leave a good humor to make it worth it. i was the prime rama and i would say mission accomplished. and this is it from cheek is down to me you still.

here in the countryside along the line it's easy to fall right into a whole new thread that you go to bed early and get up early after all i still have a long stretch ahead of me. ok let's go. on. day 2 starts just like day one and it's very relaxed not a person in sight just us and the reference. to. the serenity on the river really is something else thanks to the current and my co-captain i can take some time. i put my feet up.

on the lawn you have to pass through plenty of locks and since they're not mandating more you have to open them yourselves. or wait for help. just open the gate. and keep on paddling. in germany there's a popular slogan good who was here it's used to describe the places this well

traveled pope would graced with his presence good to didn't internship here on the lawn while he was in law school and it seems he did a lot of hiking here he was amazed by the quote unquote unspeakable beauty of nature to be fair he was also very much in love at the time the lady in question turned out to be the inspiration for the protagonist in his 1st novel the sorrows of young valley. and when i tell you about all of this well because right now i'm going to take you on a little excursion to good birthplace france and only about 60 kilometers from here is definitely worth a visit and not just for a layover and it's name is a report. for time mine is well known for. its banks. but they're also the home of timber towers.

is that surround the city hall a building known as the roman. frankfurt is a leading cultural center and it hosts the world's largest book fair. the fair was 1st held over 500 years ago after you had a school bag invented the printing press. today is that she was just a stone's throw from there to the. fun forward. back in the 18th century when good was born only had about 30000 residents. but it was the coronation city of the kaiser's of the holy roman empire and as a free imperial city it had some autonomy. but above all it was a center of trade thanks to the trade routes and the trade for the street for. the house where good was born is no newseum during 100000 visitors a year. the house has been restored to its original with great attention to detail . the famous writer lived here for 25 years this is also where he wrote his

a pistol or a novel the sorrows of young. he wrote that in frankfurt and it was revolution of his isn't hind songs revolutionized poetry and his play good from burleson and also written for the 1st transformed german drama. a few meters from good us house you come to st paul's church in 1980 became the seat of the frankfurt national assembly the 1st freely elected parliament for the whole of germany so it's considered the birthplace of german democracy. time for to mine is also well known for its museums no less than 15 cultural institutions lined the river mine forming the frankfurt museum embankment. it includes germany's oldest museum foundation the shade was a. collection here to have a 700 years of european artists. 3 from the 14th century right up to the present

day. this is what's going to go on when it was founded 200 years ago in accordance with the will left by a wealthy frankfurt banker named your 100 data he was an art collector which was not unusual in the age of enlightenment when. he saw origin as a key part of his role in society. although frankfurt was a free emperial city there was no bishop and no royalty living here with our needs so it's always been the local people who have shaped frankfurt and to this day this foundation relies on the huge support it receives from the people of frankfurt doctor and from put up a position. so look beyond frankfurt it's more than the skyline with its banks and office tower as and you find a rich cultural history. i've

arranged to meet me can find mine on the banks of the lon he was raised around here and he's shaped the area's development in recent years through his work as a geographer enter as a consultant. and. family is underway here we saw lots of bikers and paddlers it was all very calm and seemed extremely until it is that really what it's like ok so if i design i think the non is one of the most delicate rivers in germany to explore by boat or by bike ones and that's why so many people comment on it and it remains unchanged you can really relax and slow down from the commotion on everyday life. a lot isn't quite as well known as the rhine or the moselle rivers especially outside of germany do you think that can or should. change or is it fine the way it is. the only one that isn't so

. i think it's fine as it is quite well known among the real could knowing exactly as you can see from the number of boat rental firms here and if we could probably raise our profile a bit of money. about it up and we'd certainly like to become better known for hiking under and most people think of walking along the rhine thank you but i'd like them to consider the lawn to the soldiers who are. under a basket and for what are the challenges for the future you already said you want to promote the hiking trails but what else is on your list steve. steve i'm down to 40 credit it's easy we want to work on quality control when you market an area tourism and tell everyone to come then you have to make sure you have the necessary infrastructure and you have to have designated areas where canoeist can get in and out so they're both. at those places you need. public transport places to.

sustainable tourism means ensuring people don't get out in the middle of a conservation area and cause damage still a lot to do but it sounds like a lot of fun. obviously to absolutely i love it when visitors like what they see in . this bridge in film are and the statue of st john of me are very special they're made of so-called london marble which was mined in this area for centuries axel becker is an expert and takes me to a former quarry millions of years ago this was a reef in the ocean the continental drift carried that north along with fossilized sea creatures and sediments. and here you can see this is a coral. reef and this is a sea shell. and it actually mean you when you're not 380000000 years ago our continent was on the equator one year larger than the continents move where we're standing now with the. 20 degrees south of the equator

and on this long journey away from the equator tectonic cracks developed. there was pressure here you see these regular structures that the stone was under a lot of tectonic stress and then fused together again through cement they would have to go back on that one when did people start mining in marble so. the 1st records are from 5099 we're very proud we can say it was still the 16th century. and that was the start of the barong era when marvel became popular there was a demand for large colorful structures that appealed to the sun. and i'm saying they realize they could make money here by the 17th century marble was in use around the world at the start of the 20th century marble from here was used in the empire state building and the moscow subway all over. the.

allow it on the south this time to where sharing the travel experiences of one of our viewers mari i am from karachi in pakistan travel to moscow and so does the video of her favorite spots the red square t.v. tower and a boat right on the mosque check out the russian capital in summer. my

canoe tour on the lawn is slowly coming to an end the last of the 25 kilometers under the blistering sun seem to be the longest. time if there's a local you don't. do the. good things you can't get long along the

line you can always tell where exactly you are by the impressive buildings you come across this is wrong call castle from the 12th century it was built in the middle ages to protect a river crossing it's a ruin now but still retains its charm and rome goal is also where my tour comes to an end. who. can leave. their own people up and say the journey is more important than the destination and this time the journey really was a lot of fun and helped me discover a whole new way of travelling a more relaxed one far away from the train schedules and traffic jams and one that really allowed me to get in touch with nature rather than just passing through highly. recommend.
