a van to enjoy the natural beauty of the local mom and the german french border in sama and there's no question he has thought of favorite destination on a trip to germany. that started the baltic sea it was looking to take his 1st trip since the corona locked down in spring 2020 fresh air a short trip somewhere like to the baltic old still it's something i've been missing these past months just like many of us the coronavirus been demick has disrupted travel worldwide my 1st trip there for me using a 1st richie's in germany took me to vitamin d. in the state of mecklenburg western pomerania. here from the lighthouse you can get a good view of the baltic resort. travelling in coronavirus times how does. look like with all the social distancing

in 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. holiday makers are back here involved in london at 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's like baltic sea coast is the nicest coast we know we've been coming here for years. i mean 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. look. as long do you notice a few restrictions. but by and large when you're outdoors you don't need to sit it's all. comply with social distancing and hygiene rules are going overboard yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. give me a kiss. 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 the yellow i'd like to rent the beach chair went alone welcome no problem but what do i need to do i do both and nothing we send 2 people along who'll make sure the beach chairs disinfected all you need to do is sit down relax and have a nice time. who. is

this your best beach chair in the best of i don't know about that i'd say it's a very good beach chair many are newer but this is the one that's free right now that's how it works on the clock awful sue it has to be disinfected 1st. yes we have to unless the chair only goes out once a day then it has 24 hours to air out. but if it goes out several times a day but this is what we do get with the someone so if it hasn't aired out mathias takes care of it that was much you know then dr mathias gets it nice and clean bank of basic ideas. beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century very specially popular in germany. now all that's missing is a quick dip in the water. but

. i don't think. 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. lifeguard. this is what you have to be athletic team player know how to swim

and like the beach. that's it. that's like i shall not have to spend what did to coronavirus me 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 the body gets to be called when we hand over the bandits rather than sticking them on ourselves yet i thought that overall we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany which was no bikers and there aren't all that many restrictions. but ones that make me want it done you can see that at the beach when they come to go do this it's almost that much and i'm trying all the muscles what about an emergency if you have to do mouth to mouth resuscitation 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. titles so what do you like about the

baltic as it is and all sea. level to view the waves but it's always different in every kind of weather you never tire of it. the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen i can buy that there's also a big clear this year so the view is really nice and if i had to pick those all right i thank your mom wouldn't. my next stop is a tour of the harbor. on board the campaign bus the 1st pass along the i touched on this stretch of water that extends from the fishing port of fundamental to the last. live on the moon to seaside resort is actually the district of the city off while still cool.

in the 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 all star shipyards are 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 fun in the. tourism it 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.

everything's pretty relaxed here involve them and the tourists are happy they can travel again and enjoy the baltic and so all the people who make their living from tourism. who can take a 2nd choice of mosque scenes in germany takes us on a road trip through the oak a mock region in the state of mexican book for palm and i'm doing it like many other germans this coronavirus summer i've borrowed a camper van and i look forward to a break in the fresh air in the. good they are off you people and a lot of space about 2 hours' drive north east of berlin it. feels as far as the eye can see. many lakes in between.

nature my world. life just arrived that's my campsite and. the boss here shows me the way to the parking space. so what now. you know mr speaker i walk in front and you'll drive up there and then back in. oh . yeah super keep coming turn a bit to the right. super. go straight for a little to the right it's a great you did it. done. now i need electricity. in action. what it is since we are there more people here than in the past years the government has recommended going on vacation in your own country because of the coronavirus. here. in deference to coronavirus measures were not fully booked we could easily accommodate 200 more people but we

don't want to do that you can see that there's a lot of space. we're outdoors and the risk of infection is minimal but we don't want anything to increase as naturally we have grown regulations we ask that you wear a face mask in all public buildings stores sanitary facilities and at the boat rental and one. reason to who are the typical campers newbies like me or a permanent campers as. you can assume that in the camper community 10 percent of the people have never been to a german campground before they're now underway to something there's an even bigger run on campsites. in normal summers we turn away 20 people a day now it's 3040 or even 50 to one i hate to admit it but we unplugged the phone . it just wasn't doable anymore. are there must be.

night do i have to put on repellent i. know we fence them off. this is kind of it's no it's not a big year for mosquitoes plagues only happen if it's moist and warm during the breeding season then the larvae hatch that's not the case this year your mosquito bites and will compensate you for each one shouldn't be too many i'm not taking a big risk in saying that the steve boys all right thank you. my neighbors have already made themselves at home. the camper van took me here safely so now it can take a break i will explore the area on foot and by bike and to be honest i'm really looking forward to all the nature and swimming in the lake so let's go. first the tour of the site nice and she. can't there is also a lake this is very important. because it's hot really hot.

let's see if any of my neighbors are at home at all. the way from. not far from here from this to teen what do you think coming here for 20 years. why are you camping because we always camp was the best thing about it but it's nice to be honest. it's not so crowded just. nice to not be confined to banks even if the campgrounds from. being cooped up in a hotel with 500. but way camping here has caught up to the corona we're on holiday here in germany here we have a wonderful spot we're glad to use like going to see. my queue time to get on the bike. if i want to look around people come on. lakes nature park. why are there so

many lakes here. the landscape has oddities and knows them he's a nature guide and the 1st thing i do is get to know a special landscape architect. we have to go in here to get to the beaver dam. you know you come august yes that has many many legs the year we have a naturally created by a beaver and it's never too thin be made the dam here with wooden mud it's impenetrable and stable too distant is all the time i can walk over it but his guts are no problem. ok but then i'll climb on the beaver's roof. weighed 25 to 30 kilos then i have my way there's. no problem. the beaver designed this landscape creating

a habitat for many other species. does it all in a day's work for a beaver you know long as the beaver take for that i figure just a couple hours. there's another lake it's lake ozzy how much can you actually jump into any lake like bet more or less in terms of the water quality yes. i wasn't out but there are protected areas are not allowed to set foot into. the. where there's a dock or a beach it's no problems and the. large and small lakes they all formed when the glaciers retreated during the last ice age 15000 years ago. i continue my trip through the a long shady avenues. of interest nevada i take

a break. from the church is as old as the village it dates from the 13th century. it's nice here. this is the opportunity to buy some provisions. i even find regional. it's here. from the chili cheese that's mine. and now let's go to the next lake. it's not far it's obvious that 1st nevada also has a lake. this is the perfect. cause

. of their special edition of. it takes place on his list of top recommendations from trip to germany. a go trip on the sol river is a perfect way to get a 1st impression of the region. one of these in the sol and still insiders to the small state is not as popular as bavaria all the baltic sea until 2000 troth call was still being mined here so used to be an industrial region to agree to a journey for tourists but that has changed. first i'd like to get an overview of things from the treetop walk includes. it winds its

way gently up through the forest canopy. and then snakes back and forth some 42 meters up to this observation tower. you. want to view. this horseshoe bend in the river is known as the design. and it's by far the most popular attraction in salt land. from up here you can see it pretty well the solid is green about one 3rd of the area is covered with forest and then there are the river valleys of salma zille and blease sustainable travel is no problem at all due to many hiking and cycling trails well some recommendations for you. industry and idyllic nature can be found side by side in salt and. coal mining has left an indelible mark on the region

coal was mined an island was smelted here for over 250 years wants off limits to visitors today anyone is welcome to tour the site the age of coal mining has been preserved for posterity in many of the decommissioned industrial complexes the best known of the ones in sol and is the 1st my own works the largest in the country and a unesco world heritage site and then this contrast the countryside along with its vignettes in the appellant 3 countries meet. the left of the missouri river is germany france is straight ahead and to the right is luxembourg and the little town of shannon. here in 19050 pm history was made. this monument commemorates the moment when 5 e.u. member states 1st agreed to dispense with internal border checks the birth of the

schengen agreement the open european borders serve solving brilliantly especially when it comes to killing there he delights. 7 restaurants in this small state has been awarded michelin stars a feast for the senses and fitting way to wind up a sightseeing tour of solver. we move on to the state capital example look at it with a population of 180000 it's solid it's only real city. among the sites here are the rock. and stop looking castle. today it serves as administrative hat quarters as for solids past the historical museum next door tells all about it.

in solid b. european union it's not an abstract idea here it's a part of life. designed to have the market with its little shops cafes and pubs is the pulsar in heart of the bulletin small town and much more. here you can really feel that this city is small but cosmopolitan. it's your property you ever go to friends or luxemburg. mounted on what do you do there. on the weekends i enjoy going to france to shop that reckon it's right next to france let's see if the markets are wonderful and i like to go 2 minutes a beautiful city. luxembourg is beautiful too it's nice to wander around to a little shopping that's the way it is when you live on the border because what do you think of a europe without borders here in this region that you want and i finished i think it's really great i come from cameroon and here i have a chance to get to know different cultures. on this guy it's easy for me to study

in france or germany or visit there. from those old think it's awesome you know. i don't write really from the area around and some on but i really savor the lifestyle here. for city itself with the people at the market and the 2 languages french and our german here and it's wife i think it's wonderful finish top. the romans spotted subtle and special qualities long ago we have proof near the village of cork archaeologists uncovered the remains of a roman country villa 2 2. it's been reconstructed on station foundations the only one of its kind in the world i'm going for a tour of the house. isn't

it we are in the reception hall this is where the guests were received them fun or typical of these halls where the coffin ceilings then we have the semi columns the plaster columns decorating the roof or down below are the frescoes in the pump a star. or not here we've been able to reconstruct an original most 8 floor. and. the archaeologists believe the entire room was paved with it. the heart of every roman villa was that babs. they were big enough to accommodate the press friends and business associates. this is the cull daria ma pass or and this is the hot water basin. that's one. just imagine when the bulbs were in use you had an indoor climate comparable

with a modern steam bath it was 35 degrees celsius in here with condensation dripping from the ceiling. behind that wall as a copper kettle to heat the water over a fire warden is water was let into the basin through this lion's head. the smoke from the fire was directed through the under. system into the house to warm the rooms. were not and was a new one and i mean you see bob sandals which still look modern today and you can see in flip flops you know exactly ancient flip flops on any idea why people had to wear them. hygiene maybe good gas but the floor was just too hot for the finals weren't all that far away or so people found it necessary to protect their feet so they made these ancient flip flops. the final stop on my visit to solve and it's the sabol are gone the. this walk in

sculpture was erected on top of a slag heap a hill made from waste material left over from mining. the polygon is a monument to the coal mining. it's also meant as a symbol of how people here in sol and intend to approach the future. tourism is part of this future and i think that the small saw and has great potential roman heritage industrial legacy rivers forests and then there's the proximity to our neighbors france and luxembourg and of course you mustn't forget the really good food here well on that note bye bye see you next time somewhere else and driven.
