a trip to germany these 3 destinations i particularly impressed him. from twitter off to the beach for some summer some involved amanda on the baltic sea. then look at stakeout takes a road trip by camper van to enjoy the natural beauty of the local mosque on the german french border insall and as a guest good favorite destination on a trip to germany. that starts at the baltic sea it was lucas take his 1st trip since the corona locked down in spring 2020 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 damaged as this rock to travel worldwide my 1st trip there for the using a 1st richness of 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 ball. dick resort.

traveling in coronavirus times how does that 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. holidaymakers are back here involved in the end of 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 play states get to get out again after the long lockdown. as long to notice a few restrictions. but by a notch when you're at dulles you don't need to sit at all. paint next month and. comply with social distancing and hygiene route. yeah yeah but not between the 2 of us. give me a kiss. i mean 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 well you know i'd like to rent a beach chair went alone welcome no problem but what do i need to do i do both.

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. is this your best beach chair and go up 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 the clock awful sue it has to be disinfected 1st. and this is a yes we have to do it 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 us from behind so if it hasn't aired out mathias takes care of it then with mikey and then dr mathias gets it nice and clean bank in place of the us. beach chairs like this has been a fixture by the baltic and the north sea since the 19th century they were

especially popular in germany. now all that's missing is a quick dip in the water. i mean. 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. by. off to meet a man with a woman who works here as

a lifeguard. but what do you need to be a lifeguard. you have to be athletic team player know how to swim and like the beach . and that's. what 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 masks and so forth the body gets to be called when we hand over the bandits rather than sticking them on ourselves the best but overall we haven't had all that many covert cases in this part of germany in which there was no baggers and there aren't all that many restrictions. on it you can see that at the beach when it comes to the difference in the thickness 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 we're trained to

use these handheld masks with self inflating bags which require no direct physical contact. for titles so what do you like about the baltic as a unit and all see. the view the waves but it's always different in every kind of weather you never tire of it as. the sun is really nice this year so don't forget your sunscreen i can build one there's also a big clear this year so the view is really nice and if i had to pick the old. all right i thank your mom wouldn't. my next stop is a tour of the harbor. on board the cabin because we 1st pass along the eye to the stretch of water that

extends from the fishing point of fundamental to the last. vandeman the seaside resort is actually the district of the city off while still. in the hospital carver we're greeted by the cruise ship terminal normally it's busy some 200 cruise ships docked here and every year. the lost ark shipyards were 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 kuril no virus trysts. 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. who can take a 2nd choice of must sees in germany takes us on a road trip through the 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. they are off you people and a lot of space about 2 hours drive north east of berlin. the fields as

far as the eye can see. and many lakes in between your nature my world. i've just arrived that's my campsite at the gates the lake the bossier shows me the way. the parking space. so what now. do you know mr speaker 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 you 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. where outdoors and the risk of infection is minimal but we don't want anything to increase or. 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 . business who are the typical campers newbies like me or permanent campers as you can. you can assume that in the camper community 10 percent of the people have never been to a german campground before these are now under way 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. now are there must do i have to put on repellent. no we fence them off. this is kind of it's no it's not a big year for mosquitos plagues only happen if it's noisy and warm drink or. 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 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 shady here. and 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 lagoon we've been 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 out on a fresh air that it's not so crowded is a hotel just nicer not to be confined to a small banks even if the campgrounds from. being cooped up in a hotel with 500 although. we are away 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. i want to look around the lakes nature park. why are there so many lakes here. the landscape has its oddities and tomas followed us knows that 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 of the. yes the mark has many many legs and 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 beavers roof the way 25 to 30 kilos there with my weight. 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 the how long does a 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 lake bet more or less in terms of the water quality yes. i was in that but there are protected areas are not allowed to set foot into. the state and. where there's a dock or a beach it's no problems i believe. 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. in 1st 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. at a 2 year. old 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 spot. nonstop

of their special edition of is. it takes place on his list of top recommendations from trip to germany. a boat 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 an insider's to the small state is not as popular as bavaria all the baltic sea until 2000 troth cole was still being mined here so used to be an industrial region sure gree true during 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 psalm as well 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 and saw them. coal mining has left an indelible mark on the region cole was minded and was smelted here for over 250 years wants off limits to visitors today anyone is welcome to cheer the site of 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 the muzzle with its vignettes me 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 schengen. 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 solemn brilliantly especially when it comes to killing there he delights. 7 restaurants in this small state has been awarded michelin stars and feast for the senses and fitting way to wind up a sightseeing tour of solver. we move on to the state capital. with a population of 180000 it's solid the only real city. among the sights here are the rock lunatics kill him. 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 seoul and the 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 heart of the bulletin small town and much more. here you can really feel that this city is small but cosmopolitan. it's awful to ever go to france or luxembourg and yet most of the ones you do there. on the weekends i enjoy going to france to shop the brecon is right next to france as if the markets are wonderful and i like to go to mit's 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 was what do you think of a europe without borders here in this region that you want i finished and 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 well i think it's awesome you know. i don't rightly from the area around and some on but i really savor the lifestyle here even if the city itself the people at the market and the 2 languages french and our german here and it's wife i think it's wonderful which finished top . the romans spotted sahlin special qualities long ago we have proof near the village of archaeologists uncovered the remains of a roman country villa. 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 guests were received them one or 2 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 aches. and. the archaeologists believe the entire room was paved with it. the heart of every roman villa was the baths. they were big enough to accommodate a depressed friends and business associates. this is the cold r.e.m.

our hearts pass. this is the hot water basin. that's one of the garbage in there 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 water was let into the basin through this lion's head. the smoke from the fire was directed through the under. last system into the house to warm the rooms. when i 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 most 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 slack heap 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 insult and intent to approach the future with. tourism is part of this future and i think that the small silent 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.
