the. castle dream. and a river that unites it all. iman's by a log on the lawn a tributary of the river rhine. i plan to take a new tour around the one valley. i'm there 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 kilometer the head of me from via walk all the way to a town called could. go on the shelf we catch up with our globe trotter on his adventure and kerry gets to have. one of our viewers shows us the sights and sounds of moscow's. 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 onto the water . so this is your motor on the level it's a single blade paddle going on still. one hand up here the other down here gum place it in the water and roll by there are any typical beginner's mistakes i've never really done this then yet if you go under some low drains then paddle out

backwards this is you don't want to get caught up in the branches otherwise you could cap stocks just would. want to get off on their my best to avoid that. sort of hard life. you'll 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. the years you don't worry just let go it's normal for it has no flowers it does and it's about. to go. and because i've got quite the trip ahead of me i have enlisted a little support my producer andrea as has. to help me paddle. seem like we're

not the only ones who have heard about the beauty of the law on groups of schoolkids keep us company on the 1st 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 to the region along the lot isn't just famous for its castles and fortresses it's 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 aren't into going to state any more 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 date back to the dark and mysterious middle ages they were mostly designed us 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. its castle is one of germany's most outstanding job. a

genuine medieval fortress that has never been destroyed. tourism provides a key source of income to help for the upkeep there are guided tours every 10 minutes the council has belonged to the else family for more than 815 years. becoming the booking of interest on each generation has a duty to pass on the consul in a better state than they received it was so obvious so we've worked hard to restore the roof and 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 those for me and for the next generation who for the next thing about. the nearby listening in hostel is also privately owned horses going to listen board to the castle and is now restoring it's a labor of love the former teacher is investing a lot of money and effort in the project. mushroom before you do have to be a little bit crazy to take on something like that so. some of the supporting beams

in the grates were rotten and the casa 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 that 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 owners these historical gems would surely being lost. to. the landscape around the lot and it's truly impressive and as intruders were being carefully observed by the locals came my looks like we have a new red lantern. i.

love the little boy he's. oh. we survived our 1st day of canoeing and the reward will be spending the night at this riverside campsite in a tiny wooden hut. determines kramer shows me my home for the night so hopelessly food in the hudson mainly for a canoe or to stay one or 2 nights and want to have some home comforts. of the home for physician or i would i don't want their tent on the boat things stay off the boat and yeah or on a bike all 12 or. so step this way. along this is a lot more comfortable than a tent well these are yeah no comparison to your average time to.

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. so mom and welcome to the country which is fine by small arms this is why in this episode we are focusing on how to which are going to the local life and going to the local cuisine. kyrgyzstan is naturally isolated by high you

mountainous terrain which has helped preserve its asian culture a country gained its independence as a nation states after the breakup of the soviet union in 1991. to dishonor real characters playing. on a horse with. knowledge of horses take a well deserved break for we can enjoy if you. could you see here is a true nomad camp this is where people live to have their horses here they have goats and cows over there this is the life that people used to have me and he's not ever actually mountain nomads is a sad 80 percent of the country on the mountain so they packed up their camp considered up in the next valley been half a day wanted to party to. welcome to kind of call the city with

a spot of better russians a strategic location to explore everything which is south east of kabul today it's in a strategic location fall out of love us because of its proximity to the highest mountains of the country. it's time to introduce you to a keystone for this week you come to the market you're with us and we do it quick you got here to market. that's right so what we have here. and they feel. like chinese muslims live here. is that it's a place of. the target is called muscle which is basically

french fries meat. if you come 1st on your own and again garlic. the next stop is the fat cats and that's also how i feel like we have a disaster here for sure ok and sometimes blunt here. i'm doing it one day trek here with me it's called the yoga looks red because of the show on this name's not a lot so it's a false record 6 kilometers. is where we're going to get our best picture so let's take on the last 2 to the. you know the thing with hiking for me is. that i always leave a good view to make its residents. and with the program again i would say

mission accomplished. and this is it from she gets down to resume. here in the countryside along the line and 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 river.

the serenity on the river really is something else thanks to the current and my co-captain i can take some time to put my feet up. on the lawn you have to pass through plenty of locks and since they're not manned anymore 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 too was here it's used to describe the places this well traveled poet graced with his presence good it did an 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. and when i tell you about all of this well because right now in taking on a little excursion to go to birthplace france and only about 60 kilometers from here is definitely worth a visit and not just for the way i worry that spain is a report. time for time mine

is well known for its skyline its banks and its at port but there are also the half timbered houses that surround the city hall a building known as the roman. frankfurt is the leading cultural center and it hosts the world's largest book fair. the fair was 1st held over 500 years ago after you had its good and bad invented the printing press today is that she was just a stone's throw from that of. funk worked. back in the 18th century when good was born in frankfurt 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. it was a center of trade thanks to the trade routes and the trade for those additional for . the house where good it 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 for 25 years this is also where he wrote his a pistol or a novel the sorrows of young. wrote that in frankfurt and it was revolution of his isn't kind 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 written line forming the frankfurt museum embankment. includes

germany's oldest museum foundation the shade in was a. collection of a 700 years of european art history from the 14th century right up to the present day. this is what's going to go on the going 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. can you just up 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 portable because they shop. 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 macand followed 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 comes with. family and on her way here we saw lots of bikers and paddlers it was all very calm and seemed extremely and tillich is that really what it's like is this look i thought that if i design i think the lawn is one of the most delicate rivers in germany to explore by boat or by bike ones and that's why so many people come and it remains unchanged you can really relax and slow down from the commotion on every. 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. i think it's fine as it is quite well known among the real couldn't 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 cyclists 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 2. 100 left 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. i'm down to 40 credit it's easy we want to work on quality control when you market in the area of tourism and tell everyone to come then you have to make sure you have the necessary infrastructure you have to have designated areas

where canoeist can get in and out of there both. of those places you need. public transit places to. sustainable tourism means ensuring people don't get out in the middle of a conservation area and cause damage fans or to still a lot to do but it sounds like a lot of fun. obviously to absolutely and i love it when visitors like what they see in. this bridge and film are and the statue of st john of me are very special they're made of so-called lon 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 it north along with fossilized sea creatures and sediments. here you can see this is a coral. reef and this is a sea shell. put on. i mean you when you're.

380000000 years ago our continent was on the equator then the continents moved and where we're standing now it was 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 and that's 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 rule there was a demand for large colorful structures that appeal to the sense of. and i'm saying they realized they could make money here by the 17th century lawn 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.

and always on the south this time too were sharing the travel experiences of one of our viewers mari am from karachi in pakistan travel to moscow and as a video of her favorite spot the red square t.v. tower and a boat ride on the mosque check out the russian capital in summer. moved

. home with. 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 thing you can't get long along the lawn you can always tell where exactly you are by the impressive buildings you come across this is a room called 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. the i. mean. you know people often say then 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.
