beginning of the 19th century there was enough wealth here to commission the well known berlin art nouveau architect we're moving he not only designed the bridge gate but also a number of villa. park noble architecture characterizes tom caught up to this state a great place to start my journey along the muzzle. today i want to find out why the muzzle is one of the most beautiful river scapes in germany so i'm off for right along a part of them was ill psychopath from top to cock him but that's not all i'll also be finding out why muzzle winds are so special. for one thing wind 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. as long as it is close to the water the muzzle belly also offers a lot of puta falkiner amas but for those you have to paddle a little harder. but it's worth taking the 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 the muzzle valley. there
2:34 am
are many famous castles to 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 moselle 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 people to new that 900 years of history is at stake but let's put it this way over time one learns to think of
2:35 am
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 it is can only remain in the council for 2 hours and no more than $120.00 guests can visit at any given time not speaking of the movement because we'd have to allow large numbers and say that once we can only do tours for 60 people it's a 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. having
2:36 am
said that i'd estimate that between 15 and 20032 teams have been here if they stay the night here are short of 6 in the morning and sometimes 21 so it was a real battle to get official. laughter i'm going to go after. their. no longer hordes of 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 close its gate count a it intends to delay that for as long as possible. biking
2:37 am
along the most ill i can definitely recommended. most of the time you can ride along the water away from cars and streets for a natural landscapes or a small wine 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 a flagship production here especially the recent.
2:38 am
back in his day you hundreds of praised the exquisite moselle wine while fellow writer quit a husky related how he slowly drank his way down the river. today thinking this from them as a once again producing world renowned premium winds like marcus morley took his leno take is deliberately dead so nothing distracts from the winds 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 reasonings regularly fetch record prices many people do realize that 80 to 100 years ago our measly wines were the most expensive wines in the world i fancy. in the 1920 s. a reason cost twice or $3.00 times as much as the most expensive board do or burgundy or from an auxiliary eamonn that's a. other highly successful wineries is
2:39 am
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 how saying this ice is here it produces very seldom are very many are it's misleading wines with space you know. there's grease about this later is that it matters always releasing the minerals into the street. a few of the vintners on the moselle have also turned to tourism as an additional source of revenue at the long ensured a wine estate me
2:40 am
a tree or 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. 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. the image of mosul riesling has greatly improved in recent years. even young people consider drinking recycling from the model very trendy clothing. riesling makes delicious sparkling wine as well riddled overturned by hand of course.
2:41 am
the river and the wind somehow they belong together especially in this section of the ms il near began it's where you'll find the cause which is probably the most famous vignette in germany because of its steep slope. i have an appointment with wine maker a martini. 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 not. 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
2:42 am
went on. i can find any regrets you know with scenery like this definitely not finishing but ok but it's 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 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 wind 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 a mid to the grape vines little by little. and that means it's always
2:43 am
a little warmer up here on the. will that in the flatter areas and that helps the resupplying 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 cannot 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 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 sooner and already taste great they'd have been better for
2:44 am
a taste don't be offended but just spit it out. this. morning. out of the vignettes 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. of course from the vineyard we just visited. give it a try. with pleasure.
2:45 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 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 mineralogist which makes it taste a bit salty if you let the wind 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 a high alcohol content. that's what makes the mosul and its shale soils so special
2:46 am
your bones and was their bodies or shift what these are most of your guests wine connoisseurs earth do they tend to be more like me you know on how moving. commish it's really quite mixed. here on the most so we have a lot of guests who come for the wine and know a lot about it. yes my dad 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 $25.35 like to come here to cycle hike or do a climbing to or through the cow month so far on. what. i want someone who will. discover the old cliche of the mosul as a place where you taste wine with an old event or in a stuffy little room no longer applies. we caught up with the times
2:47 am

2:49 am
plaza 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 european market plant it's an argentine tradition. our don't know 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 has this labyrinth was created to an argentinian writer hostilities but has from some 8000 bucks with plants you can really get lost as it covers close to 2 hedges.
2:50 am
but we made it. ok ok let's move on. i sort of. 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 it funnels the actual river into a reservoir creating a wonderful lake. here you can all swim fish and soak up some sun. all or go kayaking up in that would be the it's the perfect place to paddle around i love hope to see you soon in san rafael. along the muzzle the psychopath 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. column 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 muzzle peach which is used for cakes and tarts for example. is the drink i know what a peach is but what makes the result peach so special friends who leave you see the colors different and it's also a bit smaller than your average peeps with the peach trees are planted on land that
2:52 am
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 sun will. be used to beaches in both sweet and savory dishes. is both sweet and savory from the point you can also make nice chant each company has been ill is also nice and lick your chew so the fruit has much to offer that the 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 but when you hold the fresh fruit in your hand it's riteish green leaf very unpleasant 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 cut your slice off and you can try it thank you the up at the. that looks fortifying.
