a trip to germany. 3 destinations that have particularly impressed her. first we go to the north sea and 1st place for the vacation island of sort. of. second place goes to the baltic sea to the shy. nicole follies 3rd favorite for a trip to germany is a hike in the the varian alps. the and. the a. let's start on the island of sort that has a very special charm even in the off season. here

invest in london where zilch roll as a vacation hot spot to get the island has been a magnet for joris since the mid 19th century. but. nowadays though it has a lot of fans and more visitors than residents there just home to about 20000 people and welcomes some 900000 tourists every year so the place can get pretty crowded in summer if you're looking to be the crowds you should definitely come here between the month of november and april today i want to find out what still has to offer in the low season. soups has 40 kilometers of sandy beaches so a long walk is a must. if you want to hit the beaches on suit you'll have to deal with the do so they're everywhere on the islands but make sure to stay

on the walkways the dunes provide natural coastal protection the grass on the make sure the sand doesn't get blown or washed away and the island there's really a need for it to stay this way. to move. follow me up there will have a great view. move in june is the island's highest point at 52 meters. i made my way up to the north of the islands to list it's not only suits northernmost town it's the northernmost town in all of germany everything beyond list is denmark. starting from list harbor and this ship is going to take me to see what the. be the mudflats most popular going to have

a chance to seals i hope we're lucky enough to see so. chances are good the north seas begins to feel her into lift between the north region of islands. there they are they gather on the sand banks in the wotton see a little word of advice don't make the mistake i made and leave your binoculars at home. there are several trips to the seals every day the boats go from list or further south from her no. mention of the 950 s. or the friesian months lads were a natural habitat for of oysters but that changed suddenly when they roam wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back. in 1986 dick my ass allison company began to revive so it's oyster tradition there

are no longer fish there farmed in winter they live in sea water tanks in summer in the sea off list. trying to try them myself what an amazing selection but i'll start with the classic the raw oysters. 10 times for the best flavor apparently. who. left marks are its light houses there 54 of which are still in operation but you can only visit one the helm lighthouse and the far south of the island and that's exactly where i have my next date. there were hardly very close to her the lighthouse. like to tell you a bit about the lighthouse and show you what it looks like inside do you understand the northern dialect. we are. told in little of l.a.

that prefer to speak center german. then let's do that come this way into the lighthouse. there guided tours of the lighthouse several times a week. doesn't get higher no we're now in the holy of holies of the lighthouse where in the lantern room every light house has its own i did signal. i couldn't even how do they work if no one's doing it manually girls i didn't go to it since the light house was converted to automatic operation it is run automatically no one has to control it or the north pole and the lighthouse beacon runs from an hour before sunset to an hour after sunrise this i knew. that was how long it emits light or. well i learned something today. quite windy of here but it's

a great spot to check out the southern tip of the island this is pretty much the only place where you can get such an amazing view of the south shore. cool but is climbin i've been waiting for this moment since i got her. i'm going to get a bird's eye view of that and the best part i get to tell the pilot where i want to go. now so what do you want to see it but i want to fly over the narrows parts and i've visited the herndon lighthouse i'd like to see that from the above to going to a bit but let's get on the level of. let's go. down the narrowest point isn't even 500 meters wide down there.

that's a lot that's where my trip began. that company lighthouse . now we're flying over the northern tip. of burnham's coming up on our right. well have a good view of the lighthouse. and i was there. and they are well flight over the southern tip. back to the ground time flies when you're having fun. there's a little blip next time. second place on nicole's probably slips to favorites is

a trip to the launches to history in the baltic sea a visit to the shrine. what better way to kick off the day than by taking in the crisp salty air in the city of koppen sister or a carbon. couple used to be a fishing village but today it lives mainly from tourism it's a great base if you want to explore the area. and. one of the city's landmarks is the amanda the tallest windmill in. and the weather is perfect for a boat ride 1st i have to check in with captain yojanas a border. around trip crews to lots nines and sleiman to on the m.s.g. company takes about 2 hours. to captain sun john ola

is that the helm today. this linemen of peninsula is situated at the mouth of the slide and shade constantly changes as a result of the wind and waves during storm tide slime and it can be completely submerged and most of it is a bird sanctuary. this lighthouse has been guiding ships to safety since 871. 1 side of the peninsula faces the open sea. and. from the mouth of the slide to the other and to the city of. the old fishing district of home is especially pretty it was settled in the 10th

century. when a. little bit. cooler than. another must see is got off castle it was once the residence of the dukes of. got off. the house also produced kings and bishops. the capitals chapel dates back to 1590 and has been largely preserved in its original form the small dutch she was a mighty center of power in northern europe. got jobbed also houses an archaeological museum one of its most amazing exhibits is the needham boat a warship from the year 320 a.d. . which are cool is very familiar with the history of

the region. and i don't say when one is jealous of its golden era describes it in the 17th century when it was the duchy of a call shine it got all of these at that point was really one of europe's prime cultural centers of culture not just military might was used to try to growing is to the level of 10 mach 5 that was an outstanding time when there was a couldn't come up when there was a lot of construction done on the council when the governments were planted and when there was a huge library here it was once there was a center of both science and the arts it had far reaching influence. even the only one was of course of its history of this region periodically belong to denmark why were the danes so interested in it you thought it often happened that the duke of chalets bank was also the king of denmark which meant that from the danish perspective this region was always

a part of denmark. under the. break was officially a danish fief but they were increasingly pushing for their sovereignty so what we sold on the put in simple terms was a centuries long back and forth about whether this region belong to the german empire or to denmark. this state leave the rose garden also belongs to the council it was commissioned by duke frederick the 3rd in 1637. here we find the god to offload the old historical house was replaced with this modern building the purpose of which is to keep a technical masterpiece safe. the globe is 3 meters in diameter and the outside depicts the earth's surface. on the inside there is a map of the stars and a depiction of how people in the 17th century view the sky above the gods of globe

is known as the world's 1st planetarium this one's a copy of the original was taken to st petersburg by a russian tsar. before my visit to the it comes to an end i want to try my hand at sailing sailing instructor all of a clunker is going to show me the basics on a boat build and 957. and in my defense i know nothing about sailing the 1st will slowly leave the harbor and i'm allowed to steer. clear. ok. on the 1st set of the sails while i'm trying to get a sense of what's happening. there are we supposed to be tilting this much they are going to open all you know. to extract the most rust most neptune lawrence klara

nicholas they can make of him we drink to us so that you may always smile upon us and give us good wind cheers old. woman because. the odds are they were. poor let's hope the sailing gods like. sherry. the next lesson in sailing lingo because because of the profile of the sail the flow velocity on the outer side are stronger than the inside and sagging is when you turn towards the wind and giant is through it right. now the other way around if the law doesn't bark at all but the rope so the back stays. support the mast so it's all on the must know the names of i understood about 2 words of what you just said. it's not as easy as i expected. but if at 1st you don't succeed try try again and eventually i to get to

the sail. now this is the best part about sailing blinding smoothly across the waves a perfect way to enjoy my final moments on the show my. last trip on this special edition of check in is an alpine hiking up a very fun place on new year's best list for a trip to germany today i'm in bavaria in southern germany or more precisely the small bavarian town nestled in the alps. i've come here because i want to spend some time in the mountains 1st on bike and later

on foot. but there is one of germany's most popular tourist destinations the region's incredible variety of landscapes make it a paradise for those seeking a more active holiday so it looks like i'm going to get a lot of exercise and while i'm here and while i'm at. added i want to find out the ways in which the coronavirus pandemic and climate change are affecting tourism here in the alps. my destination is the shot and a scenic point in the mountain range the 2nd had a house built up there for the 1st leg of the journey i've reserved. kind of cold welcome. to make the climb a little easier i've decided to rent an. ascendant is there anything i should watch out for. the fearless and probably the most common error people make is overestimating the situation across the street steve bikes will take you just about

anywhere they offer a lot of power. then suddenly you're at the summit and can't get down. this way it's easy to overextend yourself that's why you should be careful on the descent keep your hands on the brakes take your time go slowly and enjoy the nature of around you don't come shooting down. as soon as i leave mitten i'm america and the beautiful bavarian landscape. the paths are blind and the ascent is still manageable. after a couple of minutes of riding through the forest i arrive at a lake sea. but i still have a long way to go. after one last steep climb i think i deserve another little break. so

it was nice to see them better. no rest for the weary it's time for the 2nd part of my trunk but i won't be making the ascent to the king's house i'm shocked and all by myself stefan will accompany me he's a mountain guide from mit in the bunch he says the mountains have a calming effect on him and that sometimes you just need to stop and look and listen to the times. just. as. we're getting close to the top. on the side of the trail and stefan points out some yellow gentian to me it's a plant commonly found in the alps it thrives here at an all chewed up some $800.00

. that's it that was worth it you know. not bad not at all. and there it is i can see my gold the king's house on shot and the photo of the vet . i painted back tourism and climate change are said to be threatening the alpine flora and fauna is that something you see yourself you spend a lot of time in the mountains and here was a few. totus moves in the case of tourism yes some there are popular spots like the summit that are really overrun by masses of tourists but as you experienced yourself today we hardly saw anybody on our way up . there really quiet areas for instance in the called general range over there.

even in peak season and we're at the absolute peak of the season right now you can be all on your own same const well think you want less for climate change we haven't felt very much yet. maybe it's subjective because you don't notice gradual changes as much as the woman. but we've always had a few tough winners and some very mild ones we've had dry winters and we've had lots of parts of potations we've had flooding and then we've had very dry years it's always changing last season's the one thing that's very different this year is the coronavirus a lot of people are spending their holidays closer to home how many germans are staying in germany what if you noticed here in the region. here. this is the guests are noticeably more relaxed than in recent years relaxed in the sense that most readily accept it when you say they can't do

something or other. there's not so much i want it and i want it now which has been something of a trend the past few years when i can get really unpleasant we're not seeing any of that or people seem happy with whatever's possible i hope it'll stay that way for a while. a little paradise right outside your door thanks for showing it to me you're my pleasure. i can handle the last stretch on my own the king's house is now in plain sight of course king lute didn't walk up here himself he had servants to carry him in a litter box. this summer the king's alpine hideout is closed in compliance with social distancing and hygiene guidelines but after the long hike we definitely want you to see what it's like inside. in spite of the beautiful swiss pine paneling the living quarters on the ground

floor come across as relatively plain. seemingly out of character for the fairy tale king. of the upper story however fully reflects its creator here the 2nd had a sumptuous hall build an oriental style crammed full of gilded carvings lit through stained glass windows and decorated with fine drugs that miss and chandelier and peacock feathers. the turkish room with its fountain in the center provided a spectacular backdrop for the king's birthday celebrations isolated high in the bavarian alps to recreated the magical world of the arabian nights.

marked the mermaid i. was just before reaching my final destination i have a close encounter with a stubborn local. this won't work. but. you know it's cold didn't expect that did you. call one cow. and i know many in the alps. this lookout find is where my journey and king loued bay have the belvedere built not far from his house from here and the view of the rhine valley is simply breathtaking. if you haven't got anybody to carry you up the mountain

a hike like this is pretty intense but the journey the destination right plus there is nothing like that feeling of satisfaction you get once you reach the top and you get this abuse so extremely exhausting but also extremely worth it. i want to check him. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. what are the best places to go in europe the journey at the destination you great. joy no trouble it's. just going to check our spot for sunday's check out some great cultural mr dallas years old bender in this cool world heritage site. to join us. g.w. travel with.
