to day i'm going to give in to my wunderlist so i've come to what's known as the french strike which runs through the through engine forest. this is one of the oldest hiking trails in germany it begins at eisenach on the vessel river and ends in the town of blank on the civets river. it's customary to take stone from the vessel along with you it's said to bring good luck and when you reach the end of the bench take you through it into this is bits. so my mission is clear but from start to finish there rich trail is about 170 kilometers long uphill downhill always along the crest of the thuringian forest it's going to be exhausting and maybe my shoes will look like bit.

along the way i'll served here in the biosphere reserve. our v mail this week takes us on a tour of paris. check in viewer shows us her hometown jakarta indonesia. the 1st section of the stock is up hill of course fortunately it's a low mountain range here in the thuringian forest so i don't have to huff and puff my way out to 2 or $3000.00 metres. all in all the tree it stretches 170 kilometers some hikers do the whole thing in 6 days others in 8 or 10 . these are along the way let us know we're on the right path.

there inch diecast plenty of rest areas and observation points. from this bench you have a great view of bach book castle eyes and. the vote book looks like something out of a story book and it has made it into the history books so if you're in the area you should take a look at the castle and visit the town of eyes and. everyone who comes to eisenach wants to visit council. for many germans it's more than just an 11 century council it's both a tourist attraction and a famous landmark and then has to do with one man in particular martin luther starting in $1521.00 he translated the new testament into german. here

a revolutionary act because anyone who could read now i had access to a. little wasn't the 1st to translate the bible but he did it very well and he did it from the original greek not just from latin into german. council has been the scene of many historical events it's splendid rooms testified of that for instance the apartments of st elizabeth of the who lived in the council in the 13th century and the singers hall where in the middle ages a legendary contest among many singers took place. in 817 about 500 students met here pretty man the unification of the then fragmented german nation. below the broad told lies the town of eyes and. the lutheran house where the

protestant reformer lived as a schoolboy. martin luther preached in st george's church. and in 865 in this house the composer johann sebastian bach another very lustrous eyes are not native was born the house is now a museum. you can round off your tour advisor not with typical the region potato dumplings and a bottle of liquor wine of course at the foot of the pot book. there are lots of things to see and discover on both sides of the rich trail like to the top of waterfall. the waterfall is artificial as small river has been dammed up here and for its 58 meters to the ground.

by the way was 1st mentioned in the 14th century as a border between friend and true many boundary stones are still standing. and now i face my biggest challenge is its back mountain climb isn't easy but it's worth it especially on a day like today. while enjoying a well deserved coffee i'll take the opportunity to write a postcard from the mountaintop. postcards are really old fashioned and

a selfie is much faster but some people even make a whole video of their journey. from bangladesh he was in paris for the 1st time in his life and here are his impressions.

here on the ins it's back there's also a fun park. that's got a few questions for the manager. and then my 2 hikers from the get stuck ever come here looking for a change of pace the business i'm sure they did they won't pass just 50 meters away so of course they stop by. or what is there to do year on. our oldest attraction is the alpine signed it's a 1000 meters long and 400 meters high. it's been here for 25 years.

but our main attraction is the wii find it's a prototype where the only ones who have it and there are lots of smaller rights for children who've is the winter sports resort is not far from here as an olympic champion ever turned up here. yes county vilhelm the former professional by athlete she lives and comes by from time to time. and they go down the alpine slight. it's a lot of fun. and now for a turn on the wii flyer. my

last stop here on in suspect mountain the lookout tower 930 metres and the top. on one side forest as far as the eye can see. on the other side transmitters is its back mountain and at the very back i can actually see the book castle. here on the inspect mountain is a youth hostel right next to the strike and there are also a lot of patience in the vacation spots along the hiking trail but the most unusual

one is probably going to start. some michael's church has seen a lot in its day after all it was built in 859. but no one probably ever thought it would be used for love. here they come and they're welcome to. have you got a good trip. well enough but this father and daughter of passing through the village they found these unusual cautions on the online platform. from 6 in the evening till 9 in the morning they have the chat to themselves. the church is only open for overnight stays during the summer tourists from austria france sweden and estradiol have slept here it's not that serious but it's romantic and lot of people like it he's the big guys their own food and plenty of enthusiasm for the project

and there isn't through zeroes and for the guests who come to us for various reasons. through. my welcome the guests in the evening and in the morning i say goodbye to the of course i ask them why they've gone they've enjoyed their stay and whether there were any problems for the big game. architect yanis longo designed the sleeping quarters unadorned reduced to essential but still aesthetically pleasing and overnight stay here costs 15 year as prepared . for that you get a serene and special place to sleep and a lovely view of the organ. we have been here not that it is a protest to have it's good we started this process of turning churches into places to stay here in noise. we hope that in 2 or 3 years we can do the same in several

more churches in the region but we like a string of pearls along the trench tie where hikers or even pilgrims can stop for a night and. overeager watercooled next the project there are village churches all over tearing in with smaller and smaller congregations so new ideas are needed. it doesn't look like this is a chance to ensure these places aren't forgotten that we can bring them into the future and that they remain public spaces that are available to their communities and localities all. during the day regular church services are held. in the evening to michael's church office hike has every special place to stay along the trail.

in the fall invited by a few reserve i catch up with the guided tour group. has been offering deer watching tours for many years we walked deep into the forest so hopefully we will see some animals soon. as i might have thought because i'd like to ask you to stop your conversations now and stick together and you can ask me all the questions you want once we're up in the observation not. up there it's ok if you speak quietly. no talking that's kind of hard for me i like to talk a lot. as quietly as possible we all go into the observation hot then we see them.

red deer in the wild and so close i didn't expect to see so many. model nicholas here with visitors almost every evening. he said that you've been doing this for 15 years do you ever get bored or is there always something new and exciting here in the forest he invited to promote. there's always something new to see in discover in the forest. and you never get bored of animals. every evening is different. i think red deer are such an appealing creatures and i like the way they look and behave can watch them every

day. when germany was divided you couldn't walk along the entire bench tike because a short section is located in bavaria which was part of west germany and the border between the states of tooling and bavaria was a no go area. fortunately this is no longer an issue and very and almost exotic destination awaits. the hot house in the town of trying to tell. if smith was one of the co-founders of this e.u. funded pilot project 15 years ago the hothouses warrant using heat from

a local glass manufacturer. exotic fruits coffee and spices thrive on the 10 strike with valid long environmentally harm for transports from asia or south america. and can you show me the most exotic fruit here the exhaust of the most exotic for right at the moment is down there. the giant granite dia. in colombia it's called a bad idea we also have seeds here from colombia the dia is the biggest passion fruit in the world. don't bump into it this thing near that thing it's almost right now. yes as most of us weigh as much as they do in their countries of origin $4.00 to $5.00 kilos so you can almost hold it smells nice yeah it will probably have to be picked in 2 days. this is the smell scented. that's true

smell sort of like liquid soap but this is chilly yes that's i have an arrow i love spicy food you won't love those. this is an indian naga or gucci lucky or chili pepper we have 2 colors here this is the yellow one i don't want to touch it because it burns when it mixes with sweat why it's for good burns your hand oh yes and you have to be especially careful not to touch your eye or to go to the toilet after touching it this is yellow we also have it in red until 2008 it was the world's hottest chili pepper at about a 1000000 scoville heat units europeans are said to be able to withstand $25000.00 without health concerns. scoville is the measurement of its spiciness a chemist from the us developed this measure of pungency scoville means i need to dilute this chili pepper with a 1000000 drops of water to neutralize it spiciness it. and why do you have so many popeye us we've learned that is the plant that really

flourishes here when our harvest one and a half tons of papaya is on an area of about $500.00 square metres. visitors for. some visitors prefer to take. and we have customers in the restaurant business for instance in the interested in the. if you would like to know more about this environmental project it is best to join a guided tour. our exotic fruits for us here in germany but they are commonplace elsewhere and those differences is exactly what makes traveling so exciting and more exciting when. and it. is going to show us the capital of jakarta.

a bit longer and sometimes runs parallel to the bench tike but sometimes on it it's a really lovely route so i highly recommend it what's in here. and here are a couple of fighters who are just getting started. a lot hey where are you headed we're off on the ranch doctora this and that's where you get the stones that's right we read that people bring their own stone from the barrow to the bits but we're going the other way around and thought might want to take a few back. why it's such a big one my stone is a lot smaller. if i found one like that i'd have taken it and stash. the stone from the vet the river brought me luck the weather was just perfect i met interesting people and experienced a lot of nature and like any other hiker on the headstock i will throw this stone
