12:34 pm
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 special and what the coronavirus restrictions mean for visitors and owners. it's castle towers over the 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 castle can only cover most of its upkeep by welcoming tourists though this year revenue has dropped due to the corona crisis. even more
12:35 pm
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 i know so you see it was sort of my son come due to social distancing and hygiene regulations they've moved the ticket booth outside visitors can only remain in the council for 2 hours and no more than 120 guests can visit at any given time not taking a moment because you have to allow large numbers inside at once we can only do tours for 6 to 8 people it's a time. people have been touring the consul since it reopened 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 it's colorful is

considered one of the most instagram of book places in germany. have attributed but i guess the meat that between 152-0000 food 2 teams have been here they stay the night here for sure for 6 in the morning and sometimes 21 was a real battle to get a full old castle left of and built after. their own. no longer holds a photographer but some are still coming they provide the castle which relies primarily on entrance fees with some 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
12:37 pm
close its gate count it intends to delay that for as long as possible. biking along the most ill i can definitely recommend it. most of the time you can ride along the water away from cars and streets through natural landscapes or small wind growing villages. such as prudent to fish which has 800 inhabitants a lot of have to merge houses and as a special attraction an old ferry house from 1621. 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 of mass production methods well in the meantime however the wine is once again the
12:38 pm
flagship production here especially the recycling. back in his day you hundreds of to praise the exquisite moselle wine well fed a writer quit a husky related how he slowly drank his way down the river. today didn't miss from the once again producing world renowned premium wines like marcus morley took his leno take is deliberate 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 don't realize that 80 to 100 years ago our wines were the most expensive wines in the world by fans or in the 1920 s.
12:39 pm
a reason just twice or 3 times as much as the most expensive bore do or burgundy or for that i'm sorry eamon that's a. other highly successful wineries the supreme 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 mosul recent unique. see have seen some places here it produces very seldom or very many rich mason wines with spice you know just. great about all this later is that it weathers always releasing the minerals into the same. a few of the vintners on the moselle have also turned to tourism as an
12:40 pm
additional source of revenue at the long ensured a wine estate nutria guests can stay overnight in these the cottages. still marco's long island's primary business will always remain making good wines he also plants red varieties like. but greasing is there's a number one why mark was long and is typical of the new generation of his on the moselle a generation competing to make and market the best wines. its image. the image of mosul riesling has greatly improved in recent years. even young people consider drinking resupplying from the model very trendy. riesling makes a delicious sparkling wine as well riddled overturned by hand of course.
12:41 pm
the river and the wind somehow they belong together especially in this section of the ms ill near began it's where you'll find the which is probably the most famous vignette in germany because of its steep slope. i have an appointment with wine maker martina. 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
12:42 pm
a wine grower here on the most. and later i studied in ology in the garden verdant went on. i can find any regrets you know with scenery like this definitely not to finish ok but it's strenuous look how we're standing it's super steep do you need 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 and. the most important thing is to have good footwear and it helps if you're not too afraid of heights. or why is the wind from them is a little special how this is different from other winds on the vine. 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
12:43 pm
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 tastes 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. or. because i like i said recently ripens. because there's still a lot of acid and not much sugar we have other varieties that mature somewhat
12:44 pm
sooner and already taste great they'd have been better for a taste don't be offended but just spit it out. and tackle this. out of the vignette and into the know take up. 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 give it a try. with pleasure.
12:45 pm
to your health. now delicious. wonderful glad you like it maybe you noticed the mineralogy i was talking about. well i'm not much of a wine connoisseur and if i could say that the wine is somewhere between sweet and sour what should i be tasting what is unique about this one because for the vine. generally it has a slightly peachy aroma as is the case with many reasonings the nice really characteristic thing about our recent grown on the steep slopes is it's like mineral of the which makes it taste a bit salty if you let the wine dance around a bit on your palate but 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
12:46 pm
a high alcohol content. that's what makes the mosul and its shale soils so special and was there by definition if i were to visit are most of your guests wine connoisseurs earth do they tend to be more like me you know on how moving does this work at gunpoint commish it's really quite mixed. here on the most we have a lot of guests who come for the wine and know a lot about it. so we asked what it was into 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 kalma so fondly of. what. they have discovered the old cliche of the mosul as
12:47 pm
a place where you taste wine with an old event in or in a stuffy little room you no longer apply. we've caught up with the times and have great wines and great outdoor activities on offer i can take calls not 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 viewer on phyllis from argentina invited us and in our meet a local slot she's going to show you her hometown of some of the. so you hi i'm ashley is from san rafael in argentina today i'm going to show you my hometown and its fantastic surroundings come on and.

12:50 pm
close to 2 hectares. i. hope he made it. ok ok let's move on. i sort of look around 30 kilometers south of san rafael you'll find a valley grand day it serves 2 functions 1st the hydroelectric plant produces power through 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 he that is the perfect place to paddle around and i'll have to see you soon in san rafael.
12:51 pm
along was ill the psychopath 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. cochrane has just 5000 habitants 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 missouri peach which is used for cakes and tarts for example. there's the big i know what a peach yes but what makes them result peach so special ready to leave you see the
12:52 pm
colors differently and it's also a bit smaller than your average piece with the peach trees are planted on the land that's 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 sun will. be used to peaches in both sweet and savory dishes and. this is both sweet and savory from the point you can also make nice chance each company has been in a is also nice and lick your 2 so the fruit has much to offer you can see a few what how does the muzzle peach differ in taste from a normal peach. essence the 1st of all it's not sweet it's more savory with a bitter note and when you hold the fresh fruit in your hand it's riteish green the fairy in plain wrong has little taste when to wash mix of. i'm not here for fun but for scientific reasons i would like to test it to such a slice off and you can try it thank you you have at the. that looks fortifying.
