thing all visitors notice above ground is the breach gate on the muscle at the beginning of the 19th century that was enough wealth here to commission the well known berlin art nouveau architect wielding he not only designed the bridge gate but also a number of villa. park the architecture characterizes tom caught up to this day a great place to start my journey along the muscle. today i want to find out why the result is one of the most beautiful river scapes in germany so i'm all for right along a part of the most ill psychopath from try to call him but that's not all i'll also be finding out why mazel wines are so special. for one thing wine growing on them as they'll dates back to roman times.

but there are also other attractions in the area like the mediæval else castle. and if you're from argentina will also show was around her hometown something that i failed. the nice thing about a bike path that runs along a river is that it's fairly flat at lee. east as long as it is close to the water the muzzle valley also offers a lot of beautiful panoramas but for those you have to paddle a little harder. but it's worth taking the detour uphill here for example are the ruins of cave in book castle built in the 14th century it was repeatedly attacked destroyed and rebuilt until it was finally blown up in the 18th century
9:34 am
from here i can get a fantastic view over the muzzle valley. there are many famous castles the germany book if they're in jail or in the very well and just outstanding in the literal sense is elf castle not far from here and we will show you what makes this castle so special and what the coronavirus restrictions mean for visitors and owners. it's castle towers over this side valley of the most l. one of the few castles that's never been destroyed it's been in the hands of the else family for close to 900 years. count and it's proud that his council can normally cover most of its upkeep by welcoming tourists though this year revenue has dropped due to the corona crisis. even more
9:35 am
painful to new that 900 years of history is at stake but let's put it this way over time one learns to defend oneself and come up with a 1000 ways to master such a situation. my son come due to social distancing and hygiene regulations they've moved the ticket booth outside visitors can only remain in the castle for 2 hours and no more than $120.00 guests can visit at any given time not taking a moment because we'd have to allow large numbers inside at once we can only do tours for 60 people at the time most. people have been touring the castle since it really open to visitors in june but not as many are coming as before the coronavirus crisis. the number of young people however is on the rise because ed's council is
9:36 am
considered one of the most instagram of book places in germany. happy but i just to meet the between 152-0000 food 2 teams have been here they stay the night here for sure for 6 in the morning and sometimes 21 there's a real battle to get a full old castle she laughed after. they were. no longer holds the photographers but some are still coming they provide the castle which relies primarily on entrance fees with the welcome publicity though both visitors and guys enjoy touring the castle in smaller groups and you really notice the difference normally we have 35 people in a group today we have 8 tarps that's nicer for the visitors they can move around more freely they see better but it still feels unusual. it's castle can survive for a year with fewer visitors but should the restrictions last longer it may have to
9:37 am
close its gate count intends to delay that for as long as possible. biking along the muzzle i can definitely recommend that. most of the time you can ride along the water away from cars and streets for a natural landscapes or small wine growing villages. such as prudent of each which has $800.00 inhabitants a lot of half timbered houses and as a special attraction an old ferry house from $1621.00. across the river there are grape vines as far as the eye can see. the most well one had a pretty good reputation for a long time unfortunately it suffered in the 2nd half of the 20th century because
9:38 am
of mass production methods well in the meantime however the wine is once again a flagship production here especially the recently. back in his day you hundreds of praised the exquisite moselle wine well fed to quit a husky related how he slowly drank his way down the river. today didn't miss from them as a once again producing world renowned premium winds like marcus morley took his leno take it's deliberately day so nothing distracts from the winds he took over his father's one estate in the 1980 s. and made it one of the region's largest but his interest is quality not quantity wine connoisseurs the world over appreciate his vintages at auctions his recent regularly fetch record prices many people do realize that 80 to 100 years ago our wines were the most expensive wines in the world by fair weather in the 1920 s.
9:39 am
a reason cost twice or 3 times as much as the most expensive bore do or burgundy or from the i'm sorry amun that's a. other highly successful wineries is a bring the muscle back where it was 100 years ago would you offer. the most elderly has more steep slope vineyards than anywhere else in the world each location is different and boasts its own individual flavors but 90 percent of the vineyards here are devoted to one great variety greasing. to get the most intense flavors the grapes are harvested as late as possible the region slight soils make moselle recent unique. see those same slices here it produces very seldom are very many rich misleading lines with space you know just. grease a bit of this slate is that it grettir's always releasing the minutes into the saying that. a few of the vintners on the most ill have also turned to tourism as
9:40 am
an additional source of revenue at the long ensured a wine estate nutria guests can stay overnight in these been cottages. still marcos london's primary business will always remain making good wines he also plants red varieties. but greasing is number one by marcus long and is typical of the new generation of the news on the moselle a generation competing to make and market the best wines in. its image this morning the image of mosul riesling has greatly improved in recent years. even young people consider drinking resupplying from the model very trendy thing. riesling makes a delicious sparkling wine as well riddled overturned by hand of course.
9:41 am
the river and the wind somehow they belong together especially in this section of them is ill near big and it's where you'll find the cause which is probably the most famous vignette in germany because of its slow. i have an appointment with wine maker of martino's. how did you become a wine maker. in a roundabout way i trained as an industrial sales rep but quickly realised that i wasn't meant to sit around in an office all day. so then i decided to become oven or. my parents had operated a winery and i could see that it afforded a lot more opportunities for me. so i trained to be
9:42 am
a wine grower here on the most. and later i studied in ology in the garden verdant when. i can find back any regrets you know with scenery like this definitely not finishing i would about ok but it strenuous look how we're standing it's super steep athletes to do the work. i know the people from around here are used to working on steep slopes that's not a problem for them. the most important thing is to have good footwear and it helps if you're not too afraid of heights. why is the wind from the muzzle so special how does differ from other winds on the vine. board it's the soil because we have these steep shale slopes the slate found that these elevations warms the vineyards slightly due to its dark color the slate stores heat. which is
9:43 am
a mid to the grape vines little by little. and that means it's always a little warmer up here on the. bill than in the flatter areas and that helps the resupplying most of all to ripen well because recently is a great variety that ripens relatively late so here the recently matures nicely without acquiring too high an alcohol content and due to the shale soil it has a great mineralogy she can eat one. you can but it won't taste very good. they were still too far from harvest time so it won't be much of a treat you'll notice that the grapes are still pretty hard but if you want to try go ahead. into one. or all because like i said reasoning ripens. 'd because there's still a lot of acid and not much sugar we have other varieties that mature somewhat
9:44 am
sooner and already taste great but they'd have been better for a taste don't be offended but just spit it out. and. out of the vignette and into the inner take up. shows me his wine shop where you can taste the fruits of his labor as a wine maker. and what have you got for me. i've selected a wine for you a recycling of course from the vineyard we just visited. reasons and given to trying to do this with pleasure.
9:45 am
to your health. now this is. wonderful glad you like it maybe you noticed the mineralogy i was talking about. well i'm not much of a wine connoisseur i could say that the wine is somewhere between sweet and sour what should i be tasting what is unique about this one vine. generally it has a slightly peachy aroma as is the case with many recently. the nice really characteristic thing about our recent grown on the steep slopes is it's like mineralogy which makes it taste a bit salty. if you let the wind dance around a bit on your palate it develops this characteristic quality and a certain lightness. even though it's quite mature it's a bit lighter and doesn't have such
9:46 am
a high alcohol content. that's what makes the mosul and its shale soils so special and water bodies are. these are most of your guests wine connoisseurs earth do they tend to be more likely to go on and how movie does this work at gunpoint commish it's really quite mixed. here on the mosel we have a lot of guests who come for the wine and know a lot about it. yes but it was inconceivable to me but we also have a lot who are less familiar with it or this might be the 1st time they've got to know it more intensively. but in recent years we've noticed that a younger crowd is coming to the most. people between the ages of 25 and 35 like to come here to cycle. or do a climbing to or through the cow month so. what. they have discovered the old cliche of the mosul as
9:47 am
a place where you taste wine with an old ventnor and a stuffy little room no longer applies. we caught up with the times and have great wines and great outdoor activities on offer. made stay that way. i love long distance travel and that's exactly what's almost impossible because of the pandemic well anyway we would like to show you some really beautiful spots on this earth before the crisis our of your uncle is from argentina invited us and in our meet the local flock she's going to show you her hometown of some of the. so you hi other fellows from san rafael in argentina today i'm going to show you my hometown and it's fantastic surroundings come on.
9:48 am
then i think that yes i historic train station from 903 from here you used to be able to travel to go and as iris almost 1000 kilometers away but the station closed to 993 and now it houses a little museum and out front the 1st little motion of to arrive here in san rafael . it coming in and this is the city center the plans are so much. on my right you can see the city hall iraqi. but the real attraction is the beautiful could see it all on my left yet. that it was built in the 1952. and who. you know hometown has
9:49 am
around $120000.00 residents and when the weather's nice you'll find many of them here at the plus our friends here and it's a neighboring park. most everyone here drinks the famous maté tea made from the dried and ground leaves of the year plant it's an argentine tradition. our own now we're leaving the city just a 20 minute drive from san rafael you'll find one of the region's highlights this huge amaze you. allowed in part of his labyrinth was created to an argentinian writer hunter lewis but has from some 8000 bucks with plants you can really get lost as it covers close
9:50 am
to 2 hectares. i. hope we made it. ok ok let's move on. and sort of. around 30 kilometers south of san rafael you'll find the valley ground. it serves 2 functions 1st the hydroelectric plant produces power for the city. and 2nd it funnels the us well river into a reservoir creating a wonderful lake. here you can swim fish and soak up some sun. all or go kayaking and that would be the it's the perfect place to paddle around and i love hope to see you soon in san rafael.
9:51 am
along the missouri the cycle path runs on both banks of the river on route you can always find ferries to take you to the other side. i still have a few kilometers to go before i'll reach my destination pocket. visible in the distance is comcast it looks old but only dates from the 19th century. cockrum has just 5000 inhabitants but it's a much visited city many missouri river cruises set off from here and you can also find a specialty that is typical of the region the peach which is used for cakes and tarts for example. is the big i know what a peach is but what makes the most peach so special thanks to me you can see the
9:52 am
color is different and it's also a bit smaller than your average piece with the peach trees are planted on land that is no longer used to get wine on the grape vines are removed and replaced with trees. through quite well she said the minerals in the soil. used to be cheese in both sweet and savory dishes. is both sweet and savory from the point you can also make nice jam each company has been ill is also nice and lick your chew so the fruit has much to alter. the bit how does the muzzle peach differ in taste from a normal peach shmuck. the 1st of all it's not sweet it's more savory with a bitter note but when you hold the fresh fruit in your hand it's riteish really sorry and plain wrong has little taste went whoosh mix of. i'm not here for fun but for scientific reasons i would like to test it such a slice off and you can try it thank you. that looks fortifying.
9:53 am
