good shit. in 30 minutes w. . in the height of climate change. africa's most of. what's in store for. one thing is to come for the future to. come for the major cities to get insight could counter.

this can happen if you want to travel in a sustainable way for example in freiburg a city that likes to claim to be a leader in ecology and sustainability germany well let me start 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 and it takes longer but it also means we get to see more of the countryside. i'm a long way from life seems to freiburg the city in the extreme southwest of germany is considered to be particularly eco friendly. freiburg is also called the green 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 lake t.t.d. me a framework a popular vacation destination. and a media local a brazilian check in viewer shows as his homeland famed it was who faults. are weak takes us on a road trip through patagonia. and . the. off 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 p.b.s.

and our camera woman ease a bit. since we don't rent a car we save big on fuel. bicycle traffic in 5 or has priority over cars there is a long tradition here but cyclists also have to be considerate because pedestrians have the right of way and this story goes 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 tourists each here they strolled along the back into these narrow gutters and marveled at the minster . mark lives at the edge of the platform you can get a good view of it from the. or castle hill.

due to its geographical location 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 its 116 leader 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 facade to future sculptures of hotspur the rulers. museum of minnesota all history is also located here by. 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 class 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. frybread is also known for its well backcourt are built as a sustainable district on the grounds of a former military base it's partially car 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 hazard in the city what's it all about gun safety on the ballot a really important the main reason these got his were built back in the 12th century was to have water in the city to put out fires to other cities have them to escape with lots of other cities had them but most places have filled them in because of course there hasn't. but probably wanted to preserve its baseless system and really fought for that in the 1970 s. . yes if you do this you know 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. 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 the brightest day. i'll 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 this sums up. the everyday sustainability that is almost taken for granted in freiburg can be found on the stoplights 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 to say it's the unit of measurement for a container with this circumference and this time it was used to measure grain.

that's is this mass this is the measure for a wooden beam that's you know and this one's interesting it's a 4 this is i mean you can measure yours here with. the l a balloon freiburg had really big. i look at fits. the bill for the car no time for a coffee break of course also in sustainable stock the fair trade beans are roasted in freiburg. you can be honest i was expecting a paper cup with a plastic lid i've been told better that's an absolute no go here in freiburg but. of course you often have to stay overnight when travelling 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 in freiburg that's known as particularly sustainable for one its energy comes from solar technology. we're standing in front of a hotel that has a sustainability concept is that still the exception or is it already the standard freiburg. 54 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 sum 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 is silly comes from very you should definitely visit the waterfall it's 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 we're going to force. my convention go into my cuckoo safari trip we're taking to question force treated to an invigorating shower at one of the world's 7 natural wonders. let me present a glossy national park you know heritage it was also declared one of the 7 new

owners of the world in 2011. 195000 tech tennis and protects the remaining foreigner and floor of the atlantic forest in parana state but in the. first week was some 260000 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 mosque it was built in the early 1980 s. and. part of the significant arab community that arrived in the region in the early 1957 is the release of the missing when.

they think in front of the mosque as an arab pastry shops good for those who like to enjoy middle eastern treat senate alicia's coffee coffee. the international friendship bridge was built during the fifty's and sixty's spanning that around a river it connects forced to because who in brazil with see that their 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 it when one.

has many surprises in store for tourists especially when it comes to the environment i'm here at park that's 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 to falls this set of 275 waterfalls also marks the brazilian argentine border. agents. it was just over that if you like falls 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 the boy. before 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 miss be in order to have enough money coming in what needs to be done for the buildings that keep us all places sounds interesting so i choose how high my rent is. 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. old ball. 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. directly. opposite you'll find the heart of the district's largely self-sufficient energy supplier doesn't know kind of stuff about 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. you know there's a lot of wood in this area being in the black forest which can be used for that. 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 of the chickens here. that's a good question i think there are the residents who are happiest to be photographed are not. going to get their vote bank presidents i'm not so sure.

freiburg even has a sustainability manager since autumn 2020 so. this is supposed to ensure that the city does not rest on the laurels of the past such as the showcase district office. the sustainability shouldn't be an afterthought it's a matter of the basics that's why our job is incredibly important but 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. income for this is a speech that's right on occasion we do get on people's nerves but it's simply a critical task of what is i thought when i mislead the bothers me when people consider it annoying because this is about the big picture. you get us on this

course 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 a. you've mentioned the flagship projects we still have a few more in the planning is to have 3 years ago fribourg city hall reopened as the world's 1st public building to meet the net plus energy start over this we also have the construction of the new s.c. fribourg 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 neutral quarter with a very innovative climate and mobility concept that might that's a huge undertaking you know but even in a move that it's concept of this is the consequence of another volvo so to speak but even bigger and with a social for gas because sustainability is not just an ecological topic in fribourg we still have a way to go since affordable housing association asked we must ensure something

happens that much thought is going into that with this new district thank you doctor. 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 make it in the black forest very close to freiburg very popular right now. for many visits his lake epitomizes the landscape of the black forest. visit his love to take to the weather in a pedal boat a rowboat on an electric pallet excursion but. it's and i'm happy to finally be able to row here again and it's

a kind husband is on the side when the sun shines it's glorious i come here almost every other day even in winter you know you've been down but it could be 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 was him norman e. daytrippers and holiday makers from around the world stroll along here before the pandemic to welcome 2000000 guests each year the locals are used to the commotion. before the locals used to say feed and snap as a coming of age that was the expression they used for the past not those. in favor. you might call gad's fight servando call his story and his grandfather set up a boat rental business at the lake 111 years ago. now

comprises 90 pounds pleasure boats included and with their 1st all electric models they've been cruising the lake since $968.00. what you. have found. with all the rowboats 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. when making an excursion on lake city say because it's all 45th wedding anniversary to. congratulation thank you for. starting in the 1960 s. tourists began coming to like. me this is a season late it is a soap subcastes 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 with any rock you can relax a lot more here than somewhere like the riviera in italy or spain i wouldn't even go there for free. really. and today we actually wanted to go to lake garda but that's not possible now so we thought ok he's a. great source of black forest good atmosphere. other. action this is one of the tourist offerings in freiburg a longboard tour of course you can rent these 2 sightseeing in a different way ok. because of this the important thing is to put your white on the front leg through this hip here you feel your way on to the board. 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 you know bathrooms come to spew. some of forgiveness for what axis of rotation don't serve don't look cool don't have fought back. anyway i can do it i'll just try to be like. 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 to this clip is from yvonne escobar from paraguayan and he takes us on a road trip through patagonia here to the journey is the destination this is our weekly v mail show.

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. this too fast. to travel in the sustainable way means above all to plan a little more time just love for riding the bike. but that's also what travelling is about not only about reaching the destination as quickly as possible but also the bracing the journey you see more and you're moving for 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 on your own checkered.
