i'm going to put that on the air with the i have serious problems on a personal level and i was unable to live there but once i'm going to. you want to know their story in full life bridge verified and reliable information from our friends. this is the city of minnesota in the state of north rhine-westphalia it's also notice germany's bicycle capital because there are twice as many bikes ask people.

there is a huge bicycle rental parking and service garage right at the central train station . it's got room for 3300 bikes very convenient especially for commuters. you can have your cycle repair it serviced or even the washed it's all here. and tourists like me can even rent a bike to explore the city. minster was founded 1200 years ago this is where great european history once took place but environmental protection also has a great reputation and is considered a green city sounds like an exciting day to me. and. will also spend time in the surrounding area known as wealthy lots of lovely castles. and visit

a diving park where you can explore and on the water world. also see the spectacular scenery of newfoundland sent in by a viewer. i thought the best place to start my tour was the promenade it's sort of moon's just bicycle highway and circles the outskirts of the old town. moonstone may be old but its population is young of the city's 300000 inhabitants 60000 are students nearly everyone here rides a bike cycling paths crisscross the city and the direction of signage is excellent . the can see part mocked in the heart of the old town is considered one of the most beautiful squares in germany the gabled houses date back to the days of the hands at a clique. a splendid example of late gothic architecture

st lombardi's church. the town hall was the site of an important event in the 17th century. in recognition of that it was awarded the european heritage label. in the council chamber known as the today i have an appointment with historian funs jules if. for what happened here in this room in 1648. in the. book lottery the peace of westphalia was signed in this room namely the special piece a separate piece between a spanish habsburgs fan and the rebellious calvinist northern provinces of the netherlands. not. let's go over here. we go

beyond the barrier. of this isn't a picture of a council chamber just as you also see it now and the swearing of the oath of the ratification of the contractual document is in this cast get. the swearing on the bible as you see on the right the dutch are raising their hands to take their oath and from where they all look so alike they have the same hairstyle was that usual for the time. if you look closely they do differ of course. the dutch are wearing clothing and the spanish or wearing the diplomatic garb of the time who are . why did that piece mean for europe at that time. friedan she was the 1st completion of the peace of westphalia the great overall peace agreement put an end to the 30 years war. many of spoken of the fact that it was also the birth of international law an essential point was recognition the

absolute guarantee of the independence of sovereign nations. would be but what was significant about it. would conflict lugosi ations were used to resolve the conflict up there was no cease fire until this peace agreement was reached. and you could negotiate a peace treaty without that being clear victors and vanquished. that was unique at the time. played a big part in that event what does that mean to the minister of modern day. we force a lot about the relevance of events back then to the present day and in my view would boils down to this that it is possible to resolve conflicts through negotiation instead of violence stop to provide we highlight that central value in the commemorative events that take place every year. and munster is offering

itself as a place of negotiations for solving conflicts worldwide for how to some extent that has already begun by. well before i hop on my bike again there's still some time for all media local flood our viewer shows us the capital of europe white want to be there by the way according to the study it's the city with the highest quality of life in south america. welcome you to montevideo the capital of europe walk out in a little white. you know my diego gamboa i'm columbia and but moved here 6 years ago that's because the city is laid back safe and beautiful not a d.c. mosque that i'd love to show you around but you're not going to say let's go. and place among us we're starting on tour on the plaza independencia the city's main

square among the noteworthy buildings here this is the palazzi. one till $935.00 it was the tallest building in south america and it's now part of our national heritage but the money on us when i was. lucky to be and so there's also the gateway of the citadel which is all that remains of a fortification that protected the city in the colonial era yes like now it's at the entrance to the old town. throughout the height of the death zone with shops restaurants museums and offices runs right through the old town feels he says if you see on t.v. they'll be one of the dail has a 1000000 and a half resident almost half the population of europe why with 3 and a half 1000000 inhabitants it's a small country. if this is the plaza much we're saying the oldest plaza in town it's surrounded by

historical buildings such as montevideo is cathedrals means the palace is. coming in and they mostly are also a few market stalls on the square which you can rummage through in the shade of the tree and so let's get a lot left. to go loud i'm going to have lunch now in a popular and traditional place at the market so now part of. you almost like that here you find the best your y. has to offer over a sale which exports all over the world in the highest quality border collie that yes i mean. really so imagine the meat is traditionally grilled over an open fire which. it's distinctive flavor and it is a kind of if you stick with a. case this is the typical of your why in mixed grill that's. a bit of everything.

licious you see. on paper you want to video is situated on the shore of rio done up a lot but it's not the end has lots of beaches it's one of the loveliest posts itoshi beach. ontario is titled we have a nice long probably not here where the locals can enjoy the beautiful views meet their friends and drink the national beverage mind and assume that. one day we'll be any monday video has the world's longest carnival that lasts 40 days that's not susceptible to the participants prepare for it all year long. the god deal and it's every neighborhood has its own group of performers singing about where in particular although montevideo the oldest and largest part to watch

the group here. is well that's all for now i hope you've enjoyed montevideo and then you come to visit and for now enjoy the music and. now i'd like to pay a visit to minster cathedral it was built in the 13th century and is a city landmark. about 90 percent of the old town was destroyed during world. in many large german cities the ruins were replaced by modern buildings after the war but the people who reconstructed there all told at least the part as it once was the cathedral suffered heavy damage but thanks to the determination of the locals it was

reconstructed by 1956 by the way is a catholic bishop. i've been given special permission to go behind the altar to the cathedral it's where the bishop sits journeying mess. time for a coffee break twice a week on wednesdays and saturdays there's a market set up front of the cathedral. you can pick up homemade delicacies and organic products much of it comes from the surroundings the moon style and. which is also worth exploring because there are more than $100.00 castles and palaces of course the best way to do a trip to the countryside is by bike. or

not to be general is so flat you almost run along with no effort perch health costs of this a typical mentioned cost of a famous german polish was born here about 200 years ago i met a fund to herself. she actually wrote her poems in a small country house lucia 6 kilometers from the council. we're now entering and that is a very private living and work room she called it her snail shells. many of the consuls and palaces the surrounded by mountains like fishing. the castle which dates from the 16th century one of the largest and oldest castles in munster lands . and this is known as the versailles of westphalia north kill sion palace of the rock residence.

several of the rooms are open to the public. and none of those people study because not killed palace is also home to a state crime technical college. has 4500 kilometers of bicycle paths one popular destination is valve of golf the horse capital of germany tourists from all over the world come here because it's a center of horse breeding and equestrian sports. some 100000 horses are said to live in munster land more than almost anywhere in europe horses have been bred at the north rhine-westphalia and state stud for nearly 200 years. you can take a tour of the start farm. there are 160 horses in residence used as breeding stock and to train professional writers. but whether

on a horse or a bicycle the best way to explore minister land is in the saddle. i've got another appointment now i'm here to meet city councilor my ts pick one of his areas of responsibility is sustainability and so naturally he's come to our appointments for bike. pick but how come every one of the cyclists bought up its entire lives school cycling. it's just part of the minster lifestyle for everyone from the man to the bishop to city employees ride the bike as far because it's the fastest way to get around here. but what can traffic planners from other places learn from unstuck. and i'm one of wouldn't we have

a wonderful infrastructure for cyclists and it starts with a promise not by careening road around the town. there are a cycling street set of 400 kilometer network of cycle paths in the months to area and we have to allocate a lot of money to expand the network and that's why to also. has also want to words for climate protection and its energy policy what have you done to achieve that and i didn't last long as one measure is the change in pension funds for employees and staff in the city of minister if you have a council consciously decided on diesel and c o 2 neutral investment avoiding child labor avoiding businesses that invest in armaments in order to point the way to climate protection and sustainability through know how to cut through that. climate protection has a long tradition in winston since the late 1990 s. we even had a department in the city administration devoted to the climate and energy and we engage the public in discussions on these issues such as wind turbines we have our

own combined cycle power plant and funding programs for solar energy so it is a central focus in ministers considered a green city how much is that the result of citizen involvement. we're very interested in discussing and even deciding fundamental questions with our citizens that's also because we have a very young city with many university students but also a very committed city which weighs in on many social issues and we're quite proud of that. are you always bike or do you have a car if you have a car very rarely i drive less than 5000 kilometers a year thanks for your time. and off we go. well and now we have to do the wild made sure can of us from ottawa was traveling with some friends to newfoundland and has captured his impressions of this green

i'll be right here. but. not much can go wrong at this speed. he's about the best and you want to take over and if you want to know i've had enough. surrounding the lake is in $1000.00 hectare park mainstays green in more ways than one. both day on the water a little bit if you're interested in scuba diving in the boat 40 kilometers. away from here is a place for you bay have an underwater world forever triggers. a manmade diving park 120 meters long and 60 meters wide going to and erica in

a heart from one star getting ready to enter the water they have their own equipment but it's possible to rent diving gear and book an introductory course. visibility underwater is $4.00 to $5.00 metres. european sturgeon inhabit the park these are about 2 metres in length but they can grow up to 6 made his position advantage is a fantastic experience and i'm not afraid of the fish because they don't harm air but they're huge and when you suddenly have a fish swimming below you and the next comes from the side and another comes along above you and sometimes they do actually touch you. in. the couple you swim along street brief like walls to a temple with columns that are 5 meters tall. invitation
