beethoven is for. me to. beethoven is for. is for. beethoven 2020 the 250th anniversary year.

wow it's pretty dark down here and pretty chilly too i mean on the missouri river the city is known for these underground solar vaults. where are we what kind of cell is half a sentence here and i live in one of the large sellers of the underworld form a wine cellar is unfortunately they no longer used to such today. there are cell is under the whole of tartan tub because at the end of the 20th century it was a huge wine trading center people said it was the 2nd largest wine trading center in europe after bordeaux in france. in the year 898 alone some 18000000 leases of wine made their way from here out into the big wide world.

the 1st thing all visitors notice above ground is the breach gate on the muzzle at the beginning of the 19th century there was enough wealth here to commission the well known berlin art nouveau architect when the looting he not only designed the bridge gate but also in number of villa. park noble architecture characterizes top and top up to this state 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 them was ill psychopath from top 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 well 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 some that are failing. the nice thing about a bike path that runs along a river is that it's fairly flat at. east as long as it is close to the water the muzzle valley also offers a lot of puta falkiner around us but for those you have to paddle a little harder. but it's worth taking to detour uphill here for example are the rules 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

from here i can get a fantastic view over them was over valley. there are many famous castles a 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 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 normally cover most of its upkeep by welcoming tourists though this year revenue has dropped due to the corona crisis. even more

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 this artist can only remain in the castle for 2 hours and no more than $120.00 guests can visit at any given time not a movement because we'd have to allow large numbers inside at once we can only do tours for 60 people at the time. people have been touring the castle 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 you counted but i'd estimate that between 15 and 20032 teams have been here they stay the night here are short of 6 in the morning and sometimes 21 so it was a real battles to get a. lot of i built after. they were. no longer hordes of photographers but some are still coming they provide the casa which relies primarily on entrance fees with some welcome publicity though both visitors and guides 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. and it's castle can survive for a year with fewer visitors but should the restrictions last longer it may have to

close its gate count 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 for a natural landscapes or small wine growing villages. such as couldn't reach 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 muzzle 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 a flagship production here especially the recent. back in his day you 100 to praise the exquisite moselle wine while fellow writer quit a husky related how he slowly drank his way down the river. today even minutes from them as a once again producing world renowned premium wines like marcus monotonic his vino take is deliberate so nothing distracts from the wines he took over his father's wine 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 are reason wines with the most expensive wines in the world. or in the 1920 s.

a reason just twice or 3 times as much as the most expensive bore do or burgundy version and i'm sorry eamon that's a. other highly successful wineries is a bring back where it was 100 years ago would you go for. 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 most cell research unique. sayings he says here it produces very seldom or very many rich maison wines with space you know. there's great debate on this later is that it matters always releasing the minerals into the same. a

few of the vintners on the most they'll have also turned to tourism as an additional source of revenue at the insurer wine estate mia tria guests can stay overnight in these been the cottages. still marcos london's primary business will always remain making good wines he also plants red varieties like a book on duck. but greasing is number one by marcus long and is typical of the new generation of venice on the moselle a generation competing to make and market the best wines in. its image this morning sleek image of mosul riesling has greatly improved in recent years. even young people consider drinking resigning from the model very trendy thing. bristling makes delicious sparkling wine as well riddled overturned by

hand of course. the river and the wind somehow they belong together especially in this section of the muzzle near because 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

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 the finishing i would have but 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. 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 steve shale slopes the slate found that these elevations warms the vineyards slightly due to its dark color the slate stores heat. which is

a mid to the grape vines little by little. and that means it's always a little warmer up here on the. fill that in the flatter areas and that helps the recycling most of all to ripen well because reese ling 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. into one. or all because like i said reasoning ripens. because there's still a lot of acid and not much sugar we have other varieties that mature somewhat

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 stuff. out of the vignette and into the you know 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. for additional i've selected a wine for you a recycling of course from the vineyard we just visited. reasons and give it a try to do it with pleasure.

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 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 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

a high alcohol content. that's what makes the mosul and its shale soils so special and water but these are. this are most of your guests wine connoisseurs earth do they tend to be more like me you know on how movie. 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. yes but 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 cow month so far. or they've discovered the old cliche of the mosul as

a place where you taste wine with an old event 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. 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. i left for you hi i'm ashley is from san rafael in argentina today i'm going to show you my hometown and it's fantastic surroundings come on and.

then i think that you yes i historic train station from 903 from here you used to be able to travel to and is iris almost 1000 kilometers away but the station closed to 993 and now it houses a little museum and out front the 1st look a low shift to arrive here in san rafael. was. it coming in and this is the city center the plans are so much. on my right you can see the city hall. but the real attraction is the beautiful could see it all on my left. that it was built in the 1952. and her. hometown

has around $120000.00 residents and when the weather's nice you'll find many of them share 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 done 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. but it is labyrinth was created to an argentinian writer hunter lewis but has from some 8000 bucks what plants you know you can really get lost as it covers close to

2 head has. i. but we made it. ok ok let's move on. i sort of look around 30 kilometers south of san rafael you'll find a valley ground that it serves 2 functions 1st the hydroelectric plant produces power for the city. and 2nd as 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 a good hour he did it's the perfect place to paddle around i love hope to see you soon in san rafael.

along the missouri the cycle path runs on both banks of the river on route you can always find therese 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 and 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 result peach which is used for cakes and tarts for example. as the big i know what a peach is but what makes them

a zel peach so special ready to eat you see the color is different and it's also a bit smaller than your average people with the peach trees are planted on land that is no longer used to grow wine on the great plains are removed and replaced with trees. pushed through quite well she said the minerals in the soil. used to be cheese and sweet amsi very dishes. is both sweet and savory for the point you can also make nice jam each company has been ill is also nice and like your 2 you should have fruit as much to offer that the f.b.i. what how does the muzzle peach differ in taste from a normal peach. 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 reddish green the fairy in 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 you have at the. that looks fortifying.

the can hardly wait. i'm a silk peach cake just the right thing after my bike to work. as you know you can send us your travel videos and we show in here on check in this week's me mate it's from christine that she was travelling by boat in northern greece and her destination was mt atheros with its monastery buildings this part of the u.s. called world heritage. mary
