a magnet for tourists 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 plate can get pretty crowded in summer if you're looking to beat 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. soup has 40 kilometers of sandy beaches so a long walk is a must. if you want to hit the beaches on soups you'll have to deal with the do things 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 islanders really need

for it to stay this way. to move to. follow me up there will have a great view. of it 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 zeus northernmost town it's the northernmost town in all of germany and everything beyond list is denmark. starting from list harbor and this ship is going to take me to see what might be the mudflats most popular and have a tense the seals i hope were lucky enough to see so the. chances are good then. north seas biggest seal herds who live between the north region islands
8:34 am
. there they are they gather on the sand banks in the one city a little word of advice don't make the mistake i made and leave your binoculars at home. there's several trips to the seals every day the boats go from list or further south from town don't. mention the $950.00 s. of the friesian months lads were a natural habitat for always gers but that changed suddenly when they room wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back. routes. in 1986 my ass allison company began to revive suits oyster tradition they're no longer fish they're farmed in winter they live in sea water tanks in summer in the sea off list.
8:35 am
trying to try them myself what an amazing selection but i'll start with a classic the raw oysters. shoot 10 times for the best flavor apparently. landmarks are it's like houses there are 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 in lighthouse. i'd like to tell you a bit about the lighthouse and show you what it looks like inside do you understand the northern dialect guard service how old this little bell i'd prefer to speak standard german. then let's do that how come this way into the lighthouse.
8:36 am
there guided tours of the lighthouse several times a week. he 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 leave it how do they work if no one's doing it manually girls i didn't go to and since the lighthouse was converted to automatic operation it is run automatically no one has to control it or the north pole and a lighthouse beacon runs from an hour before sunset to an hour after sunrise this. is 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
8:37 am
only place where you can get such an amazing view of the south shore. school but there's climb in i've been waiting for this moment since i got her. i'm going to get a bird's eye view of suit and the best part i get to tell the pilot where i want to go. now so what do you want to see is what i want to fly over the narrows parts and i've visited the herndon lighthouse i'd like to see that from above to noise to a bit but let's get on the fly for the whole thing. let's go. back then narrowest point is mean 500 meters wide down there. that's a lot and that's where my trip began. to come in my house
8:38 am
. now we're flying over the northern tip. burnham's coming up on our right. we'll have a good view of the lighthouse. and i was there. a farewell 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 foley's list of favorites is a trip to the launch just as during the baltic sea a visit to the shrine. what
8:39 am
better way to kick off the day than by taking in the crisp salty air in the city of cup and sister a card. 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. the weather is perfect for a boat ride 1st i have to check in with captain yon and see border. around europe cruised to lots mins of slime and on the m.s.g. koppen takes about 2 hours. to captain sun jan ola is that the helm today in. this

line when a pencil is situated at the mouth of the slide its shape constantly changes as a result of the wind and waves during storm tide slime and it can be completely submerged 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. 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. in. the room.
8:41 am
and. another must see is got off castle it was once the residence of the dukes of. tall. the house also produced kings and bishops. castles chapel dates back to 1590 and has been largely preserved in its original form the small duchy was a mighty center of power in northern europe. you. got jobbed also houses an archaeological museum one of its most amazing exhibits is the medium boat a warship from the year 32080. 1 jack lew is very familiar with the history of the region. and how do you say when one is jealous of its golden era describes it in the 17th
8:42 am
century when it was the duchy of a call shine it got all of these at that point it was really one of europe's prime cultural centers of culture not to military might was used to try to rowing is to the level of 10 mach 5 that was an outstanding time when there was a quote when there was a lot of construction done on the consul when the governors were planted and when there was a huge library here give us a sense how it was the 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 periodic we belong to denmark why were the danes so interested in it you thought it often happened that the duke of chalets vic was also the king of denmark which meant that from the danish perspective of this region was always a part of denmark. under the. week was officially a danish feet but they were increasingly pushing for the sovereignty of this one so
8:43 am
what we saw 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 lever rose garden also belongs to the council it was commissioned by duke frederick the 3rd in 1637. here we find the gods 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 in the picture 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 light comes to an end i want to try my hand at sailing sailing instructor all of a flanker is going to show me the basics on those built in 1957. and . then in my book then i know nothing about sailing the 1st will slowly leave the harbor and i'm allowed to steer. clear. ok. other 1st steps of the sails while i try to get a sense of what's happening. there we are we supposed to be tilting this much darker than all your old. rock more rust most neptune long. klara nicholas they can we drink to you so that you may always smile upon us and give us good wind cheers all. right.
8:45 am
let's hope the sailing god like sherry. next a lesson in sailing lingo just because of the profile of the sail the flow velocity on the outer side is stronger than the inside. sagging is when you turn towards the wind and giant is through it right. no the other way around if they're lucky it doesn't block the rope so the back stays. support the mast and you must know. 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 need to get to the sail.
8:46 am
now this is the best part about sailing gliding smoothly across the waves a perfect way to enjoy my final moments on the sly. last trip on a special edition of check in is an alpine hiking up a very 1st place on a best list for a trip to germany today i'm in the very in southern germany are more precisely from a 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
8:47 am
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 it i want to find out the ways in which the coronavirus pandemic and climate change are affecting tourism here in the alps. the 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. and finally called welcome. to make the climb a little easier i've decided to rent an even. bus and then is there anything i should watch out for. the philistine probably the most common error people make is overestimating the situation the 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. to speed it's easy to overextend yourself that's why you should be careful on the descent
8:48 am
keep your hands on the brakes take your time go slowly and enjoy the nature of around you don't come shooting down. at soon as i leave mitten i'm america and the beautiful bavarian landscape. the paths are wide and the ascent is still manageable. after a couple of minutes of riding through the forest i arrive at a lake i see. but i still have a long way to go. through much of last steep climb i think i deserve another little break. though with nothing to feed them better. or. no rest for the weary it's time for the 2nd part of my trek but i won't be making
8:49 am
the ascent to the king's house and shot in the hall by myself stefan will accompany me he's a mountain guide from mitten bottoms he says the mountains have a calming effect on him and that sometimes you just need to stop and look and listen i've sometimes. just. as we were getting close to the top. on the side of the trail it 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 mi.
8:50 am
that was worth it. not bad not at all. and there it is i can see my goal the king's house on shot at the photo of the vet . tourism and climate change are said to be threatening the alpine flora and fauna is that something you see yourself spend a lot of time in the mountains and it was a few. in the case of tourism yes some there are popular spots like the to expect to 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 call then the 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. for climate change we haven't felt very much
8:51 am
yet. maybe it's subjective because you don't notice gradual changes as much. and it's so. 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 the last days is 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 wanted 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 saying any of
8:52 am
that will score people seem happy with whatever's possible i hope it will stay that way for a while it's 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 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
8:53 am
story however fully reflects its creator here the movie the 2nd had a sumptuous hall build an oriental style crammed full of gilded carving lit through stained glass windows and decorated with fine drugs but nissen chandelier is 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. mark mermaid i. was just before reaching my final destination i have
8:54 am
a close encounter with a stubborn local. get this won't work. but. yeah it's cool didn't expect that did you. quite the pole one cow. only in the alps. this lookout for and is where my journey and king loued bay have the belvedere built not far from his house from here 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 is the destination right plus there is nothing like that feeling of satisfaction you get once you reach the top
