and we've always benefited from domestic tourism in the until this most part with us 70 percent of our overnight guests are domestic tourists will put it so of course that's a nice little bonus really for its own interest and believed in standing in the absence of the international tourism the whole atmosphere is a bit more relaxed is the best nights for the visitors coming here now that they can take it as the year and enjoy the city doesn't seem to be. yes or no we're missing the international visitors title bags always been an international city that comes from the university and many of the students haven't returned here yet just because the borders are close to the international element is missing no one height of the arc of. their aims finally let up at least for a little while and right away the old bridge over the next livens up of it.

in front of heidelberg university i mean historian chris gent villain behind the university as germany's oldest found in 1386. the university museum is closed due to the corona crisis but the biggest tourist attraction is still open. where have you brought me for heaven's sake. looks a bit like a squat with graffiti all over it but in fact we here in heidelberg student jail the old students prison famous at 1st the cells were a thorough really serious matter but they turned more and more into a bit of fun they were meant for misdemeanor such as public drunkenness so everybody wanted to sit in this fabled student prison at least once a $179.00 the sentences ranged from 3 to a maximum a 14 day and you see there's graffiti everywhere let's come and you can. the door

stood open i had to pay rent if i wanted to stay in yeah so it became a kind of privilege i could bring james and get creative if i was hungry i could have food brought to me and from a fine restaurant all you want as if it was the university knew full well that that set up a kind of parties own of the late 19th century if. there is no mother place like it in germany. it's easy to get the impression that high lag is all about old historical sites not so just across the river everyone gathers on the neck of greens to enjoy the summer .

when. even one has fallen in heidelberg the day trippers have moved on but the tables in the restaurants and bars are crowded anyway it's a welcome piece of normalcy in the summer of crises. and finally to vote on the moon our 1st trip after the initial lockdown ended in early summer. fresh air a short trip somewhere like to the baltic goals to it's something i've been missing these past months just like many of us the coronavirus been demick has disrupted travel worldwide and my 1st trip after that using a 1st richie's germany took me to vitamin d. in the state of mecklenburg western pomerania. here from the lighthouse you can. a

good view of the baltic resort. traveling in coronavirus times how does that look like with all the social distancing and hygiene rules it's summer in germany so it's high season and that means it can get really crowded on the beach in restaurants in hotels and i would like to know how those people in charge and the tourists are dealing with this situation here in volume and. holidaymakers are back here involved in the end and the baltic coast and of course i'm curious to find out more about what's brought them here. where you're from cologne what brought you here and it was like baltic sea coast is the nicest coast we know we've been coming here for years. or do you still get that holiday feeling despite the coronavirus been damming up under me. restrictions like putting on

a mask in stores aren't a big deal apart from that there aren't many restrictions we go biking swimming and jogging so for us it absolutely feels like a holiday just to a place takes good to get out again after the long lockdown. as long do you notice a few restrictions. but by and notch when you're at dulles you don't need to sit at all. next month and. comply with social distancing and hygiene rules to get over it all yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. give me a kiss. i was ranger have a lovely holiday. time to pay a visit to the beach and i'll rent the beach chair. it will protect me from the wind and help with social distancing. though i'd like to rent a beach share we're not alone welcome no problem but what do i need. to do at the

boss and nothing we send 2 people along who will make sure the beach chair is disinfected and all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time. or the. beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century there especially popular in germany. now all that's missing is a quick dip in the water. at night. and i have to admit diving into this chilly water it is just 17 degrees celsius is

a bit daunting at 1st but once you're in and swimming it's wonderful. it's clear that the tourists are back despite the coronavirus but how are the people who live here fairing. i'm off to meet a man with a woman who works here as a lifeguard. but what do you need to be a lifeguard. this is what you have to be athletic team player know how to swim and like the beach with and that's it. but that is then what did the coronavirus mean for you as a lifeguard in that. yeah at the start of the season we introduced various safety measures and restrictions. we have protective equipment for the lifeguards for the swimmers who need 1st date we have mass and so forth anybody gets to be called when we hand over the bandits rather than sticking them on ourselves the bus but overall

we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany in which there was no bikers and there aren't all that many restrictions. on it you can see that at the beach when they come through this it's enough that when i'm trying all the muscles what about an emergency if you have to do mouth to mouth resuscitation then mr we're lucky because we have manual resuscitator so we're trained to use these hand-held mast with self inflating bags which require no direct physical contact that's a simple titles so what do you like about the baltic as a minute and i'll see. the view the waves but it's always different in every kind of weather you never tire of it on its way to the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen i.q. but there's also a big clear this year so the view is really nice and if i had a good big deal all right i thank your mom wouldn't.

mind next stop is a tour of the harbor. on board the campaign bus the 1st pass along the i touched the stretch of water that extends from the fishing for no fundamental to the last. vandeman the seaside resort is actually the district of the city off while still. in a hostile carver we're greeted by the cruise ship terminal normally it's busy some $200.00 cruise ships docked here and every year. the last stop shipyards where cruise ships are built are also unusually quiet and it's still not clear how and when things will start back up again. an hour later we're on our way back to find

him and. tourism has a long tradition here the 1st hotels for tourists opened in the early 19th century . as i stroll along the probably not on this nice summer day it looks like things are back to normal the way they were before the coronavirus trysts. this one from you know the tourism director you're probably happy to see how packed it is here absolute a report on sites from ones that were very happy to be there got since the 25th of may and have been able to welcome visitors again from across germany got a month and there's nothing nicer not so especially compared to the weeks before that was a few but now we can go back to doing what we're best at providing hospitality one really gets we don't want to provide strength feeling if there are lots of tourists

but the truce ships aren't here do you notice they are missing doesn't look at this is what the courts want to hear yes we're missing the cruise ships. normally we have close to $200.00 docking here which bring an international crowd to rostock involvement and also want to know when these are in tonight's money and this international element is missing that really is their shot that's a shame because it adds to the flare. and the cruise ships are important to our economy and. investment what are your hopes for all stock vandeman in the coming months side as a religion on 1st we hope that we'll get through the summer well with the preparations we've taken and that our vacationers enjoy themselves are guests with whom it doesn't and that the locals can see us practicing safe tourism so that we can come. the situation stronger than ever. and of course we hope that we won't have to shut down our hotels restaurants and businesses for 2 and a half months again. that's for brokers that would be a shame and

a disaster you would hope see you were a holiday destination and we want to be able to provide that for i guess it's. done thank you and all the best no wonder you know. everything's pretty relaxed here and bottom and the tourists are happy they can travel again and enjoy the baltic and so all the people who make their living from tourism.
