really stolen from africa and carted off to europe by colonialists. gave each artifact has blood on it from wounds that have yet to heal. what should be done with the stone or from africa. this is being hotly debated on both continents. the stolen sword on d.w. . and. a very warm welcome to our new special edition of check in. with nicole foliage shows us her favorites from

a trip to germany. 3 destinations that happened to kill impressed her. first we go to the north sea and 1st place for the vacation island of sort. of 2nd place goes to the baltic sea to the shy. nicole follies 3rd favorite for a trip to germany as a hiking up of the area now. let's start on the island of zurich it has a very special charm even in the off season. odd . here invest in

london where zilch roll as a vacation hotspot began the island has been a magnet for tourists since the mid 19th century. 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 this 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. who've. followed 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 and everything beyond list is denmark. started from list harbor and this ship is going to take me to see what might be the mudflats my. popular going to have

a tense this seals i hope we're lucky enough to see some. chances are good the north seas biggest deal herds who live between the north region islands. there they are they gather on the sand bags 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 know. that till the $950.00 s. the friesian months lads were a natural habitat for of oysters but that changed suddenly when they room wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back in the. groove. in 1986 to 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. trying to try the myself what an amazing selection but i'll start with a classic the raw oysters. 10 times for the best flavor apparently. the landmarks are its light 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 how my next date. there were hardly very close on lighthouse. like to tell you a bit about the lighthouse and show you what it looks like inside do you understand the northern dialect. server how old this little bell and i prefer to

speak that are german. then let's do that how come this way into the lighthouse. there are going to 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 didn't signal. i couldn't even how do they work 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 a lighthouse beacon runs from an hour before sunset it 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 only place where you can get such an amazing view of the south shore. cool because climb in i've been waiting for this moment since i got. 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 above to avoid it but let's get on the left over there. let's go. back then narrowest point isn't even 500 meters wide down there.

that's a lot and that's where my trip began. that have been lighthouse . 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 fair while flight over the southern tip. back to the ground time flies when you're having fun. there's a little it next time. second place on nicole follies list of favorites is a trip to the launch just as during 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 cop and sister a car. 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. one of the city's landmarks is the amanda the tallest windmill and stein. and the weather is perfect for a boat ride 1st i have to check in with captain yon and see border. around trip crews to lots mins of slime and on the m.s.g. not cuppa takes about 2 hours. the captain sundown ola

is at the helm today in. this line when a pin insula is situated at the mouth of the slider and change 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. community

. and. another must see is got off castle it was once the residence of the dukes of dine and got off. the house also produced kings and bishops and. castles 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. you. 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. . to jack who is very familiar with the history of

the region. and how those days when i was jealous of its golden era describes it in the 17th century when it was the dutch as we call shine it got all of these at that point chalets make was really one of europe's prime cultural centers of culture not just military might was news 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 consul when the governments were planted and when there was a huge library here your boss once said it was a center of both science and the arts it had far reaching influence. did you and how does the course of its history this region periodically belong to denmark why were the danes so interested in it this lot it's often happened that the jew could shlaes make was also the king of denmark which meant that from the danish perspective this region was always

a part of denmark. under the. week was officially a danish fief but they were increasingly pushing for the sovereignty of this one so what we sold on the put in simple terms was a centuries long back and forth about whether this region belonged to the german empire or to denmark. misstate leiber 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 she comes to an end i want to try my hand at sailing sailing instructor all of a franca is going to show me the basics on a boat built and 957. and in my book then with my i know nothing about sailing the 1st will slowly leave the harbor and i'm allowed to steer. clear. ok. conover's that's the sails while i try to get a sense of what's happening. ok we are we supposed to be told in this much there are those are your own. grass most rust most not too long. it's klara

nicholas. we drink to you so that you may always smile upon us and give us good wind cheers all. right. let's hope the sailing gods like sherry. next a lesson in sailing lingo just because of the profile of the sail the flow velocity on the outer side of stronger than the inside. sagging is when you turn towards the wind and giantess through it right. no the other way around it doesn't block the rope so the back stays. support the mast. 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.

now this is the best part about sailing gliding smoothly across the waves the perfect way to enjoy my final moments on the sly. last trip on this special edition of check in is an alpine hiking up a very fun place on a best list for a trip to germany today i'm in the very in southern germany are 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 it 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 a bike. i don't mind a cold welcome. to make the climb a little easier i've decided to rent an. ascendant is there anything i should watch out for and the feel of probably the most common error people make is overestimating the situation got across the street steve bikes will take you just

about anywhere they offer a lot of power and then suddenly you're at the summit and can't get down. 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 his throat the she's. soon as i leave mittens i'm immersed in the beautiful black berry and landscape. the paths of wind and the ascent is still manageable. after a couple of minutes of riding through the forest i arrive at a leak i see. but i still have a long way to go. to one last steep climb i think i deserve another little break. so it's nice to see them better.

no rest for the weary it's time for the 2nd part of my truck but i won't be making the ascent to the king's house i'm shocked and appalled by myself stefan will accompany me he's a mountain guide from 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. says 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 drives here at an altitude of some $1800.00

metres. that's what that was worth it but. not bad not at all. and there it is i can see my goal the king's house on shot and at the front of the bench time out. back there 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 in the. coldest in the case of tourism yes some there are popular spots like the bits of 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 ventile 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. 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 personal taishan 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 will stay that way for a while. a little paradise right outside your door thanks for showing it to me you're my pleasure. yes. i can handle the last stretch on my own the king's house is now in plain sight of course king lute bass didn't walk up here himself he had servants to carry him in a litter. 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 red. to vliet playing. 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 carving lit through stained glass windows and decorated with fine drugs mcniff a stench and the leaders and peacock feather in. 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 recreated the magical world of the arabian nights.

marked the mermaid i. knew the just before reaching my final destination i have a close encounter with a stubborn local. this won't work. you know it's cold didn't expect that did you. quite the cold one cow. i'm only in the alps. this lookout point is where my journey as king loued may 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 into. but the journey is the destination right plus there's nothing like that feeling of satisfaction you get once you reach the top and you get this new so extremely exhausting but also extremely worth it. want to check him. we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. what are the best places to go in lieu of the journey to the destination you write. poetry it's. meant to corner check hot spots for foodies share. some great cultural mores to balance years old and in this cool world heritage site. join us. g w trouble. it's
