or are they and i mean he's going to do is to finish the piece sealing the border with israel which is just the deal with him but he's usually a little he's going to go get him i don't work for i just don't know trump and saddam your were 2 part documentary analyzes the difficult relationship between russia and the last few and between their presidents how does their rivalry and the dangers of mutual admiration affect the rest of the. zone bullies putin starts august 3rd on d w. welcome to a new special edition on check in face time we'll take you to 3 places in the state of mecca and book for palm and northeastern germany but everywhere will always be

very close to the water 1st of all we're off to the baltic seaside resort of on amanda represent a new cache got wants to find out how tourism is working out during the coronavirus pandemic. then it's off to the heart of the state of mecca and where you have visited the middle states before the coronavirus pandemic and finally check in present. show you what you can enjoy on the island of who's a donkey in sama. off to vandeman. 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 there make has disrupted travel worldwide my 1st trip after the easing of frustrations germany took me to vitamin d. in the state of mecklenburg. mr palmer

a new. here from the white house you can get a good view of the baltic resort. traveling in coronavirus times how does that look like with all the social distancing and 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 involved in the end of 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 was 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 pandemic. salut legal 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 just to a place takes good to get out again after the long lockdown. as long do you notice a few restrictions. but by and large when you're outdoors you don't need to sit at all. next month and. comply with social distancing and hygiene route to get over yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. give me a kiss. i was raised to have a lovely holiday. time to pay a visit to the beach and all rented beach share. it will protect you from the wind and help with social distancing the yellow eyed. to rent a beach chair when

a fellow unwelcome no problem but what do i need to do the boss and nothing we send 2 people along who will make sure the beach chairs disinfected and all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time. or. is this your best beach chair 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 rewrite no that's how it works. sue 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 but this is what we do get with us from behind so if it hasn't aired out mathias takes care of it that was much yeah then dr mathias gets it nice and clean thank amazing 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. and 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 ferrand.

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. that's it. that's like i should not have to spend what did to coronavirus me for you as a lifeguard in that yard 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 bandits rather than sticking them on ourselves yes i guess but overall we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany in which there was no fire and there aren't all that many restrictions. on it you can see that at the beach when they come through this it's almost like watching a tunnel he must have thought 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 inflating bags which require no direct physical contact. titles so what do you like about the baltic as it is and i'll see . the view the waves but it's always different in every kind of weather you never tire of it. the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen i.q. but there's also a big clear this year so the view is really nice and if i had had to go. all right thank your mom wouldn't. my next stop is a tour of the harbor. on

board the campaign bus we 1st pass along the i touched all the stretch of water that extends from the fishing port of fundamental to the last. live on the moon to seaside resort is actually the district of the city of 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 talk shit parents 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. you know as a tourism director you're probably happy to see how packed it is here absolute of reform on sites from once when we're very happy to be there got since the 25th of may we have 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 was a few 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 at this is what the courts want here yes we're missing the cruise ships cost normally we have close to $200.00 docking here which bring in international crowd to rush stock and brought him into the hall. into knots and this international element is missing

there's that's a shame because it adds to the flair. and the crew ships are important to our economy. our investment in what are your hopes for vandeman in the coming months. as a religion on 1st we hope that we'll get through the summer well with the preparations we've taken and that our vacationers enjoy themselves against or with who 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 if he's a muslim or because that would be a shame and a disaster you would hope so 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 to mechlin book for palm and. 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 water as far as the eye can see it's still peaceful. this is like a postcard of the region the view of. the largest lake the mule it's from this

church taught in the woods and i'm going to explore mecklenburg lake district with a houseboat. i don't need a license to pilot the boat around the lakes but i do need some basic instructions . let's go aboard. but as it. was done below are your quarters on the port side as the 1st cabinet. and over here is a toilet and the shower. is now will 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 day but the best view is from up on the day with somebody you know into the impala stunned look at all the signs i have to

learn. you have me here don't model it does it not on. one. but it's not to be blown in the harbor that it's bad nautical manners and right left and any star borat in 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 make mule it's very big in space ships 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 movements and right in the middle of a popular holiday spot. 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. will was there. in the garden i meet biologist. off 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. got to the green and behind it is a pike perch. tell us why visitors to the region should come here to the

museum. doesn't the other team is all about the natural environment in the region especially the flora and fauna of the mecklenburg lake district. are a lot of fish of course. here you can learn about the ecology of the local lakes movers. 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's a different experience if you've been here 1st. personally i found a huge school of white fish pretty impressive. it's my time to get into the water myself. look out. the little chilly at 20 degrees celsius book clean the water in the lake district

gets checkmarks food water quality. food t.v. . 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 on. the bridge. and as our cruise draws to a close i'm going to show up some of the skills i have learned here on lake new routes people on shore or on the other boats really enjoy watching amateur skippers struggle to maneuver their old sit through the birth. of. the last one for mission to tide them over. for the last stop on check in special nicola foliage visits the island of accuser dome. sunny skies sandy beaches and

ocean waves come on who's into 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 those of them good vibes good weather sunshine was what more could you want. nice and be the nice people with the sunny island right. it's true or 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 his that. there was also a colorful sea of umbrellas and tests. the more traditional option at the wicker

beach chair in. vented on the baltic sea coast in $82.00 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 rental spots along the beach and 5 your chair then set it up. and relaxing. in the wicker beach chair is tightly interwoven with each culture at the baltic and the north sea and rarely found outside of germany. oh that is an island of superlatives it has germany's longest beach some 1900 hours of sunshine a year and a super full especially the beaches are overrun by tourists when i'm wondering is there any quiet sponsor left let's find out together on a tour around the. close a dome has an impressive 12 kilometer boardwalk that leads you past lots of greenery and beautiful buildings. a prominent is the most direct connection between

the popular resorts of these feelings doff and alberic and stretches out all the way to shia and poland as far german part polish the island is famous for its peers i'll bet it's actually home to germany's oldest it was built in $82.00 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 winds but now in the summer it's a lot nicer outside. the. premier it's a pleasant walk to the end of the pier during high season excursion boats dock here's a several times a day. and. all the places i've seen so far have been full of tourists now i want to have

a look at. quieter spots that means to they had to land here you'll find forests meadows and links the island is separated from the mainland by the opposite of us a 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 and knows you know 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 adriano 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 boots and. almost ready

but safety 1st. oh it's been a long time 123 like. made it let's do this. first we need to cross town i've been in the 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 at. rob is that as far as i'll go the 1st time around to the. colleagues at gallup to the pros but i do have to say this area is the perfect spot to go horseback riding and we could even take a quick dip with the animals. in . my state here in who's a dom is almost over but there's still one thing on my to do list each fish up to the late 19th century fishing was the islanders livelihood and kozel were fish was made more enjoyable by coating it with salt to conservation kept the islands mostly

more population from starving in winter to dany is storage saltcoats are under a preservation order. and 991 the family restaurant called the was that it's had to open its doors but here the fish in the sausage and smoked that's typical for it was a dump and master smoker is definitely just going to show me how it's done. and he will how do you prepare the fish for smoking does it have to be salted or otherwise is there 1st we cut it to soldier and then hang it to dry it's just like we have here in portland. how long do you leave it hanging it's working on you for at least 3 quarters of an hour just to draw it when smoking fish less. smoking takes time. for them because. they which types of fish are particularly good when smoked. year we have some in here and below. well that's how it gets to

here. once the fish is dry the oven is closed for about an hour. or. in case you were wondering why they call it smoke. trying to get a taste and i'm going to try them all 11 salmon and talib and. i wonder if these are the ones i smell but at this point here's 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.
