the lines yes it is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make see the screen or how can we protect habitat and so we can make a difference global i do those fundamental series again global 3000 on t w and all mine. fresh air a short trip somewhere like to the baltic coast it's something i've been missing piece past months just like many of us the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted travel worldwide and my 1st trip after the easing of restrictions in germany took

me to banda mindanao in the state of mecklenburg was surprised. to hear from the lighthouse you can get a good view of the baltic resorts. travelling in coronavirus times how does that look like with all the social distancing in hygiene rules it's summer in germany so it's high season and that means it can get really crowded on the beach in restaurants in hotels and i would like to know how those people in charge and the tourists are dealing with this situation here in volume and. also show you how the pandemic has affected life in south africa our viewer mike zuma gives us a tour of cape town. our venial of the week comes from a south american family who travelled around all the europe before the crowd. and

the physical world heritage sites in mecklenburg western pomerania from this month . holiday makers are back here involved in the empty baltic coast and in times like these of course i'm curious to find out more about what's brought them here. where you're from here cologne what brought you here baltic sea coast is the nicest coast we know we've been coming here for years. and you still get that holiday feeling despite the coronavirus pandemic. restrictions like putting on a mask in stores aren't a big deal apart from that there aren't many restrictions we go biking swimming and jogging so for us it absolutely feels like a holiday. it's good to get out again after the long walk down a long look. as an american you do notice

a few restrictions. but by and large when you're at dulles you don't need to sit it's all. hunted you comply with social distancing and hygiene releases yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. kids. that's great have a lovely holiday. time to pay a visit to the beach and all rented beach cheer it will protect you from the winter and help with social distancing. the yellow i'd like to rent a big share well and welcome again no problem what do i need to do. we sent 2 people along the middle make sure the beach chair is disinfected and all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time so. is this your best. not best i don't know. about that i'd say it's

a very good beach chair many are newer but this is the one that's where you are right now that's how it works on the clock so it has to be disinfected 1st. yes we have to unless the chair only goes out once a day then it has 24 hours to air out. but if it goes out several times a day this is what we do that sometimes it was good with us in mind so if it hasn't aired out much us has to take care of it then dr mathias gets it nice and clean thanks out of us. beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century here especially popular in germany. now all that's missing is a quick dip in the water. when i'm testing the water temperature we will show you other sites in the state of mecklenburg west of pomerania besides him on the moon for example the old hands the attic cities. and the beach forests on the island of

and on the lake routes they all have something in common they are you in this world heritage sites. of germany's 16 states the more western pomerania has the lowest population density leaving plenty of room for lovely natural landscapes. the more posts to national parks the protected areas of ancient and primeval beach forests recognized by unesco as world natural heritage sites. that includes the woodlands and wetlands of minutes national park founded in 1990 around lake mildred's the largest lake located entirely within germany the ancient beech forests give animals a protected habitat. mecklenburg western pomeranians other national park is located in the northern part of the island of logan. is the smallest national park

in germany. located near yasmin's famous chalk cliffs it boasts the largest contiguous beach forest on the baltic sea coast. western pomerania as other world heritage sites bear witness to the history of early settlement on the baltic. the a stork centers of stars and in this mars have been on unesco's world cultural heritage list since 2002 both cities belong to the hanseatic league in the late middle ages many of the typical brick buildings constructed since its golden age in the 14th century still stand today. anyone who visit stalls and should stop by the old market square it's dominated by the st nicholas church and the town hall one of the most stunning examples of northern german brick gothic architecture.

the late middle ages also left their mark on their hands the attic city of bismarck it's large market square boasts traces of 5 centuries of architectural history from gothic style through to classicism. st mary's church dates from the 13th century but it suffered severe damage in world war 2 and the neighbors later demolished so only the tower remains. shipping also has a long tradition in bismarck and is still important today. but it didn't matter.

i have to admit diving into this chilly water it's just 17 degrees celsius is a bit daunting at 1st but once you're in it swimming it's wonderful. it's clear that the tourists are back despite the coronavirus but how are the people who live here ferry. i'm off to meet a man woman who works here as a lifeguard. but what you need to be a lifeguard with the imam of this is what you have to be outlet. a team player know how to swim and like the beach. that's it. well what do the grown of ours mean for you as a lifeguard. in that yeah. at the start of the season we introduced various safety measures and restrictions. we have protective equipment for the lifeguards or the

swimmers who need 1st aid we have a mask. is often what we hand over the band-aids rather than sticking them on ourselves then you've got all of it overall we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany and there aren't all that many restrictions. so you can see that at the beach. you might want to build in emergency if you have to do mouth to mouth resuscitation. not on the good we're lucky because we have manual resuscitator we're trained to use these handheld masks with self inflating bags which require no direct physical contact. so what do you like about the baltic sea now. this is the view of the waves it's always different in every kind of weather and you never tire of it and. the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen. there's also a big clear this year so the view is really nice here because. i was all right

thank you money and. even if the baltic sea is much smaller than the atlantic or the pacific it's still fascinating the water reaches to the rising it is loud and moving at times and then calming smoove again and this view not only attracts tourists but also photographers for example only about frank he just loves the baltic sea coast and its peers so take a look. to talk with passion profession today franco wants to show you this pm at the baltic sea resort at. to express to don takes. the the lines are important. what's the most important section. how can i show the object from the best possible angle object i'm a leftist and scenes and of course with the pier i also want to see the sea gets to

me as seen as a so i look for the places where i can combine all those elements into one picture and. show it does have victories because these communities have realised that peers are popular on the baltic and the north sea because it lets people get close to the water. for all of a fun cat photography is also a form of documentation. increasing numbers of holiday homes in taurus have left their mark on heineken hoffmann and the coastline itself is constantly changing according to the seasons.

the baltic sea island of fame on also off a scenic image is the famous sound bridge. and natural windswept coastal landscapes but it's not just the right subject that makes for a compelling photograph. least of lights is the be all and end all in landscape photography. you need the light from the right direction and you want vibrant colors vibrant movement. and never tires of exploring the baltic always has his camera at the ready to capture the moment. the says.

it's not always the blue sky that will draw in your audience it might be the wild mood of the sky the patches of light when the sun peaks through the clouds. that can be much more compelling than a blue sky it's the glowing embers. it's time for some refreshments advantage when the travel restrictions were east restaurants and cafe owners briefed a sigh of relief tourists are their bread and butter after all in the daytime it's not hard to get a table for dinner though you need a reservation vet's true here if a blow bore you to and you have to leave your name and address in case anyone becomes infected it will be needed for contact tracing of course i'm happy to help

out. as you know the coronavirus crisis has stopped worldwide and our meet. mike zuma shows us what his hometown cape town looked like after the lockdown. and the name is mike my last name is your mother says my neck and neck of the woods in cape town it's known as longer one of the oldest black african townships in the western cape it's a beautiful sheet of lira tory but the gallery 16 and their authority behind me generally this area would be filled with guess what people however what the covert nitin situation is currently dry and drab but i'm going to take you to a little bit of the city at my favorite spot in the city of cape town and show you my neck of the woods.

is within the city center longstreet's which is pretty much of vibrant part of cape town central business district but what makes it special is that it's the funky but it's where all the clubs are you 18 to 30 five's come and play in 4 makiya you urbanites off to work turns generally have grab a board here. where the company gardens just on the right hand side where in an average day this would be fulled with tourists and locals alike that take a day break out of the hectic city and buzz in the city and just catch a breath with in this majestic gardens people generally come and feed squirrels in here as you can see pigeons egyptian geese in and around here.

in our. on the gateway to table martin a real cable way of course that's also been closed even from here it is amazing view of the city it's pretty much a place spot in the city center. the waterfront is it's a mall a fact that was the best kept secret about it is the working document it's one of southern africa's all this work can talk of. so this is we catch the ferry to the island. used to be a place where political prisoners are late statesman also mandela spent a couple of years there so it was quite a pivotal point for me growing up as a young teenagers of 13 and 14 when mandela was freed to post 994 where we kind of caught freedom our wasn't quite eligible enough to vote wasn't kind of 18 years old

but. the queues of people certainly non whites blacks colored indians and the like for the 1st time having the chance to put an x on the ballot paper so that was quite there was quite a momentous occasion in the history of south africa. even though a party for a lot in 1900 voted post 994 you're not going to take the income inequality of the cities divide away in 25 years and probably take a generation or 2 to undo that this is where they classified people and whether you're black you're white you're colored you indian so this is the non whites only bridge. and this is why it's only bench i can answer here. ok folks we've done wrapping up in the city center of cape town c.b.d. now with back to my neck of the woods in. going through the restaurant with people

dinners in the evening. it's a good. q. to the covert $900.00 situation space is a good sport about 99 percent of the patrons that come to this restaurant are international guests so pretty once the squid is over we'll have you wining and dining with us here in the restaurant and beautiful cape town and monica the woods and yeah and have fun with us. my next stop involved in the is a tour of the harbor. on board the captain bus we 1st pass along the ice storm the stretch of water that extends from the fishing port of fundamental to the last of harbor the vandeman the seaside resort is actually district of the city off was stuck.

in the hall stuck harbor we're greeted by the cruise ship terminal normally it's busy some $200.00 cruise ships docked here every year. the last stop shipyards were cruise ships are built are also unusually quiet it's still not clear how and when things will start back up again. an hour later we're on our way back to. tourism has a long tradition here the 1st hotels for tourists opened in the early 19th century . as a strong along the probably not on this nice summer day it looks like things are back to normal the way they were before the coronavirus trysts.

this is one of them yes the tourism director you're probably happy to see how. pact is here. absolute a report on sides from one we're very happy to be there since the 25th of may we've been able to welcome visitors again from across germany. and there's nothing nicer especially compared to the weeks before that it was as if you know we can go back to doing what we're best at providing hospitality it's going to provide strength is it too early to say how things are shaping up we. don't have to who gets the summer holidays and demand as high baltic sea holidays are in at the moment and or and this year people might be giving majorca pass and staying closer to home if your guy is going through life to go to a circus or feel a guest and there are lots of tourists but the cruise ships aren't here do you notice they're missing doesn't look at this. because what appeared to be a home yes we're missing the cruise ships normally we have close to $200.00 docking

here which bring an international crowd to rostock environment. and this international element is missing. that's a shame because it adds to the flare. and the cruise ships are important to our economy because in the courts want to. talk to concede in a crisis also have a positive side to it you maybe learn something. as a clam. every crisis is also an opportunity here in rostock environment as it draws closer together. as the service providers politicians ministration we make the best of the situation. like help us uncommon traumas and we've come up with ideas like a beach chair concert to maintain social distancing yes explain. what are your hopes for a hostile vandeman in the coming months. as a religion and some of us here. first we hope that we'll get through the

summer well with the preparations we've taken and that our vacationers enjoy themselves one of whom it does of all things irish and thus far and that the locals can see is practicing safe tourism so that we can come through the situation stronger than ever. and for all to act. and of course we hope that we won't have to shut down our hotels restaurants and businesses for 2 and a half months again. desperately that would be a shame in a disaster. isn't a holiday destination and we want to be able to provide that for our guests. thank you and all the best you know. as you know we regularly show you holiday videos from our viewers and this time now we're getting from argentina sent us a clip of his most recent trip to europe from iceland to scandinavia and he says everybody should see that well i think so too and even though global traveling is

still very restricted we're all free to daydream already. please. please please. please. please. please. please. please please. please. please. please please please your. leg.

length everything is pretty relaxed here in vancouver and the tourists are happy they can travel again and enjoy the baltic and so are the people who make their living from tourism.

led. that's apparent the next morning to look at the dock in a hotel made of shipping containers that's one of the warts for its design concept they've adapted to the new hygiene rules. instead of self-service at the buffet check of what you want on the list. and your breakfast is brought to the table. for many german tourists a trip to the baltic sea so within their own country like here involve the moon this is a 1st step towards a new travel more melting the consequences of the coronavirus crisis are visible everywhere on the beach in restaurants and hotels but the spike the restrictions i

was able to enjoy my trip and the best thing is that travelling is possible again on that note bye bye see you next time.

it is quite as simple as it sinks. to understand the world better we need to take a closer to my. experience knowledge tomorrow tradition. coming to.
