coronavirus pandemic. then it's off to the heart of the state of mecca and where luca visited the middle heads before the coronavirus pandemic and finally check in present and. show you what you can enjoy on the island of who's a dog in summer. off to phantom into. the fresh air a short trip somewhere like to the baltic coast it's something i've been missing these past months just like many of us the coronavirus been demick has disrupted travel worldwide my 1st trip after the easing of restrictions in germany took me to vitamin d. in the state of mecklenburg western pomerania. here from the lighthouse you can get a good view of the baltic resort.

traveling 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. holidaymakers are back here in volume and at the baltic coast and of course i'm curious to find out more about what's brought them here. where you're from cologne what brought you here and it's like baltic sea coast is the nicest coast we know we've been coming here for years. or do you still get that holiday feeling despite the coronavirus condemning up under me. 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 in

jogging so for us it absolutely feels like a holiday. place takes good to get out again after the long lockdown. as well you do notice a few restrictions. but by and large when you're at dulles you don't need to sit it's all. comply with social distancing and hygiene rules to get over yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. give me a kiss. i was rainsford have a lovely holiday. time to pay a visit to the beach and i'll rent the beach chair. it will protect me from the wind and help with social distancing. as though i'd like to rent a beach share we're not alone welcome no problem but what do i need to do i do both and nothing we send 2 people along who'll make sure the beach chairs. affected and

all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time. or. is this your best beach chair and go up in the best of 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 free right now that's how it works on the clock awful sue it has to be disinfected 1st. yes we have to do it 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 but this is what we do get with the someone so if it hasn't aired out mathias takes care of it that was much yes then dr mathias gets a nice and clean bank of basic ideas. beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century very specially popular in germany. now all that's missing is

a quick dip in the water. i don't know. if i have to admit diving into this chilly water it is just 17 degrees celsius is a bit daunting at 1st but once you're in and swimming it's wonderful. it's clear that the tourists are back despite the coronavirus but how are the people who live here fairing. i'm off to meet man woman who works here as a lifeguard. but what do you need

to be a lifeguard. this is what you have to be athletic team player know how to swim and like the beach. and that's it. that's like i should not have to spend what did to coronavirus me 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 for the swimmers who need 1st date we have mass and so forth the body gets to be called when we hand over the band-aids rather than sticking them on ourselves yes i lost but overall we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany which was no 5 years and there aren't all that many restrictions. on it you can see that at the beach when it comes to the difference in the thickness of the tunnel the muscles what about an emergency if you have to do mouth to mouth resuscitation mr we're lucky because we have manual resuscitator so we're trained to use these handheld masts with self and plating bags which require no direct physical contact

. for titles so what do you like about the baltic as a unit and i'll see. the view the waves but it's always different in every kind of weather you never tire of it when it's. the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen i.q. but there's also a bit clearer this year so the view is really nice and if i might head here because of. all right thank your mom wouldn't. mind next stop is a tour of the harbor. on board the campaign bus but 1st pass along the eye test will stretch of water that extends from the fishing point of fundamental to the last. vandeman to seaside

resort is actually the district of the city off lost. in a hostile carver we're greeted by the cruise ship terminal normally it's busy some $200.00 cruise ships docked here and every year. the last stop shipyards where cruise ships are built are also unusually quiet and it's still not clear how and when things will start back up again. an hour later we're on our way back to find him and. tourism has a long tradition here the 1st hotels for tourists opened in the early 19th century . as i stroll 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.

these are all from you know the tourism director you're probably happy to see how packed it is here absolute of reform on sides from one side we're very happy to be going to got since the 25th of may we've been able to welcome visitors again from across germany got a month and there's nothing nicer not so especially compared to the weeks before that stuff was was profuse but now we can go back to doing what we're best at providing hospitality one really gets to be the one to provide strength feeling if there are lots of tourists but the truce ships aren't here do you notice they're missing doesn't look and this is what the courts want here yes we're missing the cruise ships. normally we have close to $200.00 docking here which bring in international crowd to rostock environment and also in monaco no one has are in tonight's money and this international element is missing or really there's a shot that's a shame because it adds to the flare. and the cruise ships are important to.

economy. in the us version what are your hopes for vandeman in the coming months. as a their engine on 1st we hope that we'll get through the summer well with the preparations we've taken and that our vacationers enjoy themselves are going to weave through and that the locals can see us practicing safe tourism so that we can come through the situation stronger than ever. 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. that would be a shame and a disaster you would love to see you were a holiday destination and we want to be able to provide that for i guess it's. value and all the best and you know. everything's pretty relaxed here in belgium and the tourists are happy they can travel again and enjoy the baltic and so all the people who make their living from

tourism. the 2nd stop on our check in special issue takes us to the mecklenburg lake district in the heart of the state of mecklenburg. this is my 1st trip to the land of a 1000 lakes otherwise known as the mecklenburg lake district which is in north eastern germany there's more as far as the eye can see it's still peaceful. but. this is like a postcard of the region the view of germany's largest lake the mule it's from this church taught in the woods and i'm going to explore mecklenburg slick district with a houseboat.

i don't need a license to pilot the boat around the lakes but i do need some basic instructions . did let's go aboard. but it should. include those done below are your quarters on the portside as a 1st cabin. and over here as a toilet and a shower. and now we'll go up to the salon which is also the control room. with this is the echo sounder very important because it will help us avoid running aground on the 4th. but the best view is from up on the day without revealing the impossible time to look at all the signs i have to learn. you have me here don't model it does it not on. you how to. manage but it's not to be

blown in the harbor that is bad nautical manners. right the left and any star bort port sight. let's set sail bets and dream as my colleague he's coming along for the right finally we can begin our adventure. i'm doing pretty we'll lake new it's very big in spacious and there's not much traffic so it's a great place for a beginner to practice his skippering skills. but. we're now involved in the biggest telling on lake music stand right in the middle

of a popular holiday spot. but . it's also where you'll find them. sure discovery center there i can learn more about the nature here in the lake district and. you'll push there. in the garden i meet biologist. of course there's more to be found here then ducks and swans indoors there are all kinds of local fish so that sturgeon. and that one over there what's. that's a green and behind it is a pike perch. almost an image tell us why visitors to the region should come here to the museum. doesn't have that same is all about the natural environment in the

region especially the flora and fauna of the mecklenburg make history. the are a lot of fish of course. here you can learn about the ecology of the local lakes and rivers. there are many other plants and animals and if you come here 1st then you'll know what you're looking at or what to look out for when you're out exploring. it took a different experience if you've been here 1st. personally i found that huge school of white fish pretty impressive. because it's my time to get into the water myself. look out. the little chilly at 20 degrees celsius look clean the water in the lake district gets top marks for water quality. and i'm.

going to see the good. this is the life. i'm up early and it's a lovely morning on the lake the wind is up and air is fresh. the water's pretty choppy up. but not great.

and as our cruise draws to a close i'm going to show off some of the skills i have learned here on lake me lutes people insured or on the other boats really enjoy watching amateur skippers struggle to maneuver their pool would sit through the birth. of. the last. british goodbye the moment. for the last stop on check in special nicola foliage visits the island of loser to home. sunny skies sandy beaches and ocean waves come on cruise adopt the 2nd biggest german island in the baltic sea.

it's a hugely popular holiday destination but why exactly. why because you fall in love with use of them good vibes good weather sunshine water what more could you want on a nice sunday be the nice people with the sunny owen drives. it's true for the dumb as one of the funniest places in germany. but right now in midsummer too much sun can be dangerous so beach goers have found ingenious ways of keeping out of the sun. there was also a colorful sea of umbrellas and tests. the more traditional option as the wicker beach chair and. rented on the baltic sea coast and $882.00 it's now an essential beach item. getting in on the fun is super easy you get a key and

a number at one of the many rentals fots along the beach and file your chair then set it up. and relax. the wicker beach chair is tightly interwoven with beach culture at the baltic and the north sea and rarely found outside of germany. is an island of superlatives it has germany's longest speech some 1900 hours of sunshine a year and it's super full especially the beaches are overrun by tourists what i'm wondering is are there any quiet sponsor left let's find out together on a tour around the island. closer to home has an impressive 12 kilometer boardwalk that leads you past lots of greenery and beautiful buildings. prominent is the most direct connection between the popular resorts of the hearings doff and bank and stretches out all the way to

sri new always cheer in poland as part of german part polish the island is famous for its peers beggars actually home to germany's oldest it was built in 1082 after about a quarter of the way you'll come upon a restaurant in winter and this is a great place to hide from the cold baltic wins but now in the summer it's a lot nicer outside. from here it's a pleasant walk to the end of the pier during high season excursion boat stock here is several times a day. all the places i've seen so far have been full of tours now i want to have a look at. saddam's quieter spots that means to the head to land here you'll find forests meadows and links the island is separated from the mainland by the octopus

of a look goon formed by the river of pain of flowing into the baltic sea. i'm treating myself to a truly special experience i'll discover the area on horseback under those unarmed there are many riding stables chosen this one and. a group of locals have planned a tour and they've invited me to join. this is andriano my best buddy for today or at least i hope so before hitting the road we need to curry the horses. saddled them. and put their beds and. almost ready but safety 1st. oh it's been a long time what i do. like. made it let's do

this. first we need to cross town i've been in a saddle a couple of times already so i was able to join the tour right away but if you've never sat on a horse you'll have to do a couple of practice rounds at the stables or let someone else take the reins. in any case this is a great way to discover nature. it really is true here in the back country there aren't nearly as many tourists and as there were at the beach and then the resorts nature and beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. but before i get too romantic we decided to speed it up a little a. as far as i'll go this time around. i

leave that gallup to the pros but i do have to say this area is the perfect spot to go horseback riding we could even take a quick dip with the animals. to meet. my state here in to saddam is almost over but there's still one thing on my to do list to finish up to the late 19th century fishing was the islanders livelihood and causal were fish was made more enjoyable by coating it with salt to conservation kept the islands mostly more population from starving and winter to damian storage saltcoats are under preservation order. and

991 the family restaurant called the was that it's had to open its doors but here the fish is exhausted and smoked so that's typical for it was a dumb and master smoker chef and i live just going to show me how it's done. nibbled at how do you prepare the fish for smoking does it have to be salted or otherwise. first we cut it to. get to dry it's just like we have here in portland how long do you leave it hanging it's working for at least 3 quarters of an hour just to draw it when smoking fish less or more and when it goes smoking takes time. for them because. they which types of fish are particularly good when smoked for the year we have been summoned. and below its high that's how it got so here. once the fish is dry the oven is closed for about

an hour. in case you were wondering why they call it smoking. time to get it tastes and i'm going to try them all 11 salmon and taliban. i wonder if these are the ones i smell but at this point who here has been the most important thing is they're all delicious. but filling life at the beach and tranquility in the back country good food and plenty to do it on offer is all the ingredients you need for a perfect summer holiday i for one had a great time i hope you get to see you next time somewhere and germany.
