you can't go to school. why. because education makes the world more just. make up your own. g.w. make for minds. a very warm welcome to a new special edition of check in. with nicole foliage shows us how the favorites for a trip to germany. 3 destinations that happen. first

we go to the north sea and 1st place for the vacation island of sirte. second place goes to the baltic sea to the schleiff. nichol foley's 3rd favorite for a trip to germany is a hike in the the varian alps. let's start on the island of zoot it has a very special charm even in the off season. here and best in london where zilch roll as a vague. you should not spot began the island has been

a magnet for tourists since the mid 19th century. but. nowadays it has a lot of fans and more 7 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 silver has to offer in the low season. suit 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 dunes 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. we 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 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 little. chance or go. in the north sea the biggest deal herds to live between the north region

islands. there they are they gather on the sand banks in the one see 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 don't. tend to the 950 s. or the friesian months lads were a natural habitat for of oysters but that changed suddenly when they were wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back. through 1. 1986 my ass i was sun company began to revive zits 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 them myself what an amazing selection but i'll start with a classic the raw oyster. 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 hello night house and the far south of the island and that's exactly where i have my next date. you're probably very close to her name lighthouse. 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 a that prefer to speak standard german. then let's do that come this way into the lighthouse.

they're 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 cannot leave it how do they work if no one's doing it manually girls i didn't go to it 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

only place where you can get such an amazing view of the south shore. school because 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 it but i want to fly over the narrows parts and i've visited her and i'm a lighthouse i'd like to see that from above to noise to a bit but let's get on the fly for the whole museum. let's go. then narrow it serves it isn't even $500.00 metres wide down there. that's a lot and that's where my trip to get. that company might house

. is 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. a farewell flight over the southern tip. and back to the ground time flies when you're having fun. there's a little blip next time. second place on nicole probably slips to 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 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 and stein. and the weather is perfect for a boat ride 1st i have to check in with captain yon and see border. around europe cruised to loads and then finish line window on that m.s.g. koppen takes about 2 hours. to captain sun jan ola is that the helm today in. this

line when the peninsula is situated at the mouth of the slide it's shaped 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 may. have been. in the. middle.

of. 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 castle's 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 need on both a warship from the year 32080. homes are cool is very familiar with the history of the region. and how densely when one's choice of its golden era describes it in the 17th

century when it was the dutch call shine it got all of these at that point was really one of europe's prime cultural centers of culture not to military might was news to try to growing is to the level of denmark 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 gardens were planted and when there was a huge library here your vast landscape 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 periodically belong to denmark why were the danes so interested in it this lot it's 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 dukes was officially a danish fief but they were increasingly pushing for their sovereignty so 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 stately baroque 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 of 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 slight 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 a boat build and 957. and in my independence i know nothing about sailing the 1st will slowly leave the harbor and i'm allowed to steer. clear. ok. on the 1st step of the sails while i try to get a sense of what's happening. there are we supposed to be tilting this much. stronger move russ move to 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. are they all girls. let's hope the sailing god lead. sherry. next lesson in sailing lingo just because of the profile of the sail or the flow velocity on the outer side are stronger than the inside. sagging is when you turn towards the wind and giant is through it right. no the other way around there's a lot of dozens of part of the rope so the backstays. support the mouse to go with must know what it was up 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 the mentally i to get to the sale.

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 nicole foley's best list for a trip to germany today i'm in bavaria 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 by 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 to buy a new. kind of cold 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. to feel a sense 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 made it 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 immersed in 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 to see. but i still have a long way to go. to want to last steve klein might think i deserve another little break. so it's nice to see them better. or. no rest for the weary it's time for the 2nd part of my track but i won't be making

the ascend to the king's house and all by myself stefan will accompany me he's a mountain guide from mit in the bottoms he says the mountains have a calming effect on him and that sometimes you just need to stop and look and listen sometimes. just so. we're getting close to the top. on the side of the trail stefan points out some yellow gentian to me it's a plant commonly found in the alps it thrives here at an altitude of some $800.00 metres.

that was worth it. not bad not at all. and there it is i can see my goal the king's house on shot and the photo of the vet . back 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 he it was a few and. totus moves in the case of tourism yes some people there are popular spots like that 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 well then can you move on that's

for climate change we haven't felt very much yet. maybe it's objective because you don't notice gradual changes as much as the woman 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 precipitation we've had flooding and then we've had very dry years it's always changing last 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 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 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 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 relatively plain. seemingly out of character for the fairy tale king. 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 find rugs magnificent 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 money. just before reaching my final destination i have

a close encounter with a stubborn local. this won't work. but. yeah it's cool didn't expect that did you. because of the poll one cow. i know many in the alps. this look out 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
