this can happen if you want to travel in a sustainable way for example and freiburg a city that likes to claim to be a leader in ecology and sustainability germany well it is far from the beginning this is the train that takes me straight to freiburg. travelling and filming in a sustainable way that's what we're trying to do on check in this time we're paying special attention to our energy consumption for example taking the train instead of traveling by plane it takes longer but it also means we get to see more of the countryside. i'm on my way from life's mission to from the city in the extreme southwest of germany is considered to be. eco friendly. freiburg it is also called the dream city well what does. that actually mean and

what are the consequences for me as a traveler that's exactly what i would like to find out today. also coming up what makes me a framework a popular vacation destination. and a media local a brazilian check in viewer shows as his homeland famed it was soo faults. are weak takes us on a road trip through. and . of course here in freiburg i want to be eco friendly too. in addition to public transportation there's a good network of bike paths across the city check in editor on the camera woman

he's a bit. since we don't rent a car he's big on fuel. bicycle traffic and fiber has priority over cars that has a long tradition here but cyclists also have to be considerate because pedestrians have the right of way in this city center. before i find out more about freiburg sustainability concept i'd like to give you a brief overview of what's important here. before coronavirus and travel restrictions work welcome to some $3000000.00 tourists each year they strolled along the back these narrow gutters and marveled at the minster . mark lives at the edge of the block for you can get a good view of it from the. or castle hill.

due to its geographical location in the upper rift valley it's often much warmer in fribourg than in other parts of germany. the old town is dominated by its most famous landmark the minster well known art historian jaco burkhardt once called it's a 116 meter tall gothic tower the most beautiful spire on earth. another eye catching building here is the historical merchant's hall dating from $1530.00 to its striking red façade to future sculptures of hotspur rulers freiburg museum of municipal history is also located nearby. 2 130000 people live in fribourg including some 30000 students the city's university may be among germany's oldest but it boasts one of the most modern

libraries although not everyone is a fan of its glass facade it's undisputed that the building consumes less than half the energy its predecessor did. when it comes to ecology fribourg is a pioneer and home to germany's 1st helio trope powered by solar panels the structure rotates to follow the sun in 1904 it became the world's 1st plus energy house generating more power than it uses. fiber and is also known for its well backcourt are built as a sustainable district on the grounds of a former military base it's partially card free and home to energy saving buildings . fibroids latest example of ecological architecture is its new city hall thought to be the 1st public building in the world to generate more energy than it consumes it won the german sustainability award in 20 team.

i get a little city tour from that she 1st leads me to the square in front of freiburg historic town hall here as everywhere across the city you can find the narrow brook . question i've noticed this little tripping has written the city what's it all about dance reached it was the ballad really important the main reason these gutters were built back in the 12th century was to have water in the city to put out fires to other cities have them to it's capital that's about the city has had them but most places have filled them in because of course there hasn't. but tried it wanted to preserve its baseless system and really fought for that and 1970 s. . yeah i see here this is from how this lovely building from the 16th century is called the whale house it became so famous because eros

most of rotterdam lived here for 2 years at a resinous the great philosopher and freethinkers constantly complained about it but that house i follow you said it was so full of vermin it was unbearable and with the bells of st martin's church charming every hour he could never concentrate and about as. if you take a photo anyway that's always the problem when you want to take a nice picture but you're standing right in front of it that's true you need to move back a bit i mean. the everyday sustainability that is almost taken for granted in freiburg can be found on mr potts here you will find many regional products from farmers in the area at the weekday market. right next to the market stalls at the entrance to the minster you could measure whether the goods were appropriate. this is the kind this isn't prepared say it's the unit of measurement for a container with this become friends and this time it was used to measure grain.

this is the measure for a wooden being that's you know and this one's interesting it's a poor this is i mean you can measure yours here with. the l.a. bloom freiburg had really big. fits. the bill for the kind of time for a coffee break of course also in sustainable stock the fair trade beans are roasted in freiburg. and you can be honest i was expecting a paper cup with a plastic lid i think talk better that's an absolute no go here in private but. of course you often have to stay overnight when traveling and since that should also be sustainable on our trip to freiburg we stay at the green city hotel. it's

one of 2 hotels and freiburg that's known as particularly sustainable for one its energy comes from solar technology. but if we were standing in front of a hotel that has a sustainability concept is that still the exception or is it already the standard freiburg. phyla for years sustainability has been the trademark of 2 hotels in freiburg with the others it's about many little things but just like with people it's the some of these little things that make for a sustainable lifestyle like where do the products for the breakfast buffet come from what about the heating where does the energy come from how is the place clean all these things that aren't always so visible so together with an environmental institute we're currently devising the label for these hotels to make it clear what each one is doing to promote sustainability. as you know we like it when you show us the sites of your home country for example in the southwest of brazil where all

of your got wrong you silly comes from there you should definitely visit the waterfalls by the way i've been there already and i could tell you yes it is worth it so in today's meet a local slot we're going to. like eventually go into my cuckoo safari the trip will take you to cross and falls treated to an invigorating shower at one of the world's 7 natural wonders. let me present a quasi national park you know heritage it was also declared one of the 7 new

owners of the world and 2011. 195000 tech tennessee and protects the remaining foreigner in florida the atlantic forest in power on a state. some $260000.00 residents its economy revolves around tourism is drawing visitors to its cultural diversity and natural beauty 6 6. one must see is the omagh even mosques it was built in the early 1980 s. . and is part of the significant arab community that arrived in the region in the early 1957 is the release of the something which.

we think in front of them also has an arab pastry shop so good for those who like to enjoy middle eastern treats and a delicious coffee pick. up on the international friendship bridge was built during the fifty's and sixty's spanning the parana river it connects 1st to because who in brazil we see that the last day in paraguay. from the friendship bridge we come straight ahead to the market just press from. this space is known because of the open list there which marks the junction of brazil paraguayan and argentina it's also where the quest to river converge is with a part on a river and gives the city its night let's find out more about your book from one of. the. first 2 guys who has many surprises in store for tourists especially when it comes

to the environment i'm here at park to solve it the only place in the world focused on preserving atlantic rainforest but let's take a closer look at fish. as well as being one of brazil's main tourist destination was the last 2 forms this set of 275 waterfalls also marks the brazilian argentine border at the algae. team is just over that if you like for us to cause who want to come and enjoy it to.

the next stop on my sustainable trip to freiburg is a guided tour through the volvo district alternative sustainable housing has been built on the site of former military barracks since the 1990 s. it took a lot of initiative. as a function then the buildings here were actually founded by students is an association they organize to completely on their own the financing going themselves and still manage it themselves but warner. residents must balance their own budget say see how high the rents must be in order to have enough money coming in but needs to be done for the buildings upkeep. sounds interesting so i choose how high my rent is. the work of god how many people actually say instead of surely there are some good.

will the name of the district goes back to a french fortress builder who also worked in freiburg in the 18th century. holborn. while strolling through valborg i noticed that the houses are very different from one another in addition to the converted barracks there are many new buildings that allow a wide variety of living and working conditions. it is also noticeable that there are hardly any cars there stowed away in a parking garage solar panels on the roof help to generate energy. direct. we opposite you'll find the heart of the district's largely self-sufficient energy supply i wasn't quite soft this is

a block type thermal power plant. that's good because it produces not just heat but electricity too. so it has a dual function. and it runs on renewable raw materials in this case which finally chopped wood it's biomass. there's a lot of wood in this area being in the black forest which can be used for that. annoy. me shows that it really is possible to source renewable wrong materials locally. and generate heat as well as power for all households and homes built in this quarter so it really is the local power plant. why are the chickens here. that's a good question but you know there are the residents who are happiest to be photographed . when they have their vote bank presidents i'm not so sure.

freiburg even has a sustainability manager since autumn 2020. this is supposed to ensure that the city does not rest on the laurels of the past such as the showcase district of. this is a stain ability shouldn't be an afterthought it's a matter of the basics that's why our job is incredibly important and we must make sure to get people on board and excited about the topic and clearly we can't do that by bashing them over the head with it. as a sustainability manager are you sometimes the villain can you get on people's nerves because the state ability can mean a cut in comfort that income for this is his that's right on occasion we do get on people's nerves but it's simply a critical task of our this is i thought the bothers me when people consider it annoying because this is a big picture. cause the council. has been

a pioneer in germany in terms of sustainability for years cycling solar energy the vo bone district what's next. in the pipeline as ever you mention the flagship projects we still have a few more in the planning stages 3 years ago fribourg city hall reopened as the world's 1st public building to meet the net plus energy. over this we also have the construction of the new s.c. fry book soccer stadium which should be a climate neutral operation. then there's a huge project planning a completely new district. that will be a fully climate a new 2 quarter with a very innovative climate and mobility concept that's like that's a huge undertaking you know but even in a movie it it's concept of this is the cause of another so to speak but even bigger and with a social for it because sustainability is not just an ecological topic in fribourg we still have a way to go since affordable housing association asked so we must ensure something

happens that much thought is going into that with this new district thank you richard. i would say the pandemic has given the topic of sustainability a real boost worldwide traffic is significantly reduced as are the numbers for long distance travel in general well if people can't travel to faraway places then at least they can travel closer to home for example to the black forest very close to freiburg and very popular right now. many visit his t.t.c. epitomizes the it it landscape of the black forest. visit his love to take to the weather in a pedal boat a rowboat on an electric pallet excursion back. and i'm happy to finally be able to row here again with. the current president is on the side when

the sun shines it's glorious i come here almost every other day even in winter you know you didn't have time to keep the kids don't want to go walking around the black forest anymore but you can sit around at home all the time this is something different a boat trip on the t.t.c. what could be nicer. that prominent is right along the water norman e. daytrippers and holiday makers from around the world stroll along here before the pandemic a welcome $2000000.00 guests each year the locals are used to the commotion from before the locals used to say feed and snappers a coming of age that was the expression they used for the past not. in favor. you might call gad's 57 local historian his grandfather set up a boat rental business at the lake 111 years ago. now

comprises 90 pleasure boats included and with their 1st all electric models. they've been cruising the lake since 968. want to stamp. have fun. with all the row boats paddle boats emotive boats and water slides it can get pretty busy out on the water during the high season but most people here are looking for some r. and r. rather than action. we're making an excursion on lake city say because it's all 45th wedding anniversary to have. your graduation thank you for. starting in the 1960 s. tourists began coming to lake to. me this is a season length it is a soaks up gas from around the world like a sponge. we are asked why holiday in the black forest and not on the mediterranean

because the as much better here has any reputable you can relax a lot more here than somewhere like the riviera in italy or spain or i wouldn't even go there for a. week really. and today we actually wanted to go to lake garda but that's not possible now so we thought ok he's a city says grace so it's the black forest good atmosphere. of the action actually this is one of the tourist offerings in freiburg a longboard to work of course you can rent these 2 sightseeing in a different way ok but among other things the important thing is to put your white on the front leg through this hip here you feel your way on to the board that. real but i also want to look cool i mean we're filming that's what it's all about in the media today playing it cool cool office here it's about the feeling once you feel

it you can play around with it. the grooves cut to spew. some of forgiveness. or what the axis of rotation don't serve don't look cool don't have. anybody i could do it i'll just try it for you that i can do you have any cool videos from your travels well then send them to us and we will show the best one on the program so this clip is from yvonne escobar from paraguayan he takes us on a road trip through patagonia here to the journey is the destination this is our weekly v mail.

ok here we go i tried to longworth a little before my trip to freiburg but i'm actually a complete beginner. detour from the hill of ice train station to freiburg around

50 kilometers leitz through the natural landscape of the black forest. it's not easy. it's too fast. to travel in the sustainable way means above all to plan a little more time just love her riding the bike. but that's also what travelling is about not only about reaching the destination as quickly as possible but also i'm bracing the journey to see more and sure who they are now bringing back the bikes and taking the train home. and maybe this is the occasion right now so we can use this break during the pandemic to

reflect on our own travel behavior so less energy wasting and more appreciation don't you think so well but i see you next time you're on chapter.
