their very own personal trauma. people have to detest or feel remember. of. and they share private footage with us that has never been seen before. bactrim starts of people 20 minutes on t w. 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 that is far from the beginning this is the train that takes me streets 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 on my way from light switch to freiburg the city in the extreme southwest of germany is considered to be particularly eco friendly. freiburg and it's 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 me a freiburg a popular vacation destination. and a media local a brazilian check in viewer shows as his home less famed equals sue faults. are of e-mail of the week takes us on a road trip through patagonia. and . of course here in freiburg i want to be friendly too. in addition to public transportation there's a good network of bike paths across the city check in editor on the us and our

camerawoman. since we don't rent a car we save 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 story called 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 corona virus and travel restrictions transport welcome to some 3000000 tourists each here they strolled along the back of the gutters and marveled at the minster. park lies at the edge of the platform you can get to go. view of it from the fair

or castle hill. due to its geographical location in the upper line 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 i catching building here is the historical merchant's hall dating from 1530 to its striking red facade to future sculptures of hotspur rulers. 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 less energy house generating more power than it uses. frybread is also known for its will 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 a narrow brook. question i've noticed this little tripping hazard in the city what's it all about dance reached it was the foundation of really important the main reason these got his well built back in the 12th century was to have water in the city to put out fires to other cities have them to its capital that's about the city has had them but most places have filled the men because of course there hasn't. but he probably wanted to preserve it's baseless system and really fought for that and the $970.00 s. . yeah 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 to be tapped resinous the great philosopher and freethinkers constantly complained about it but that's how safe 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. 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 this sums up. the everyday sustainability that is almost taken for granted in freiburg can be found on the plots 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. but the kind this isn't profits or it's the unit of measurement for a container with this a conference and this height and was used to measure grain. 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. the l.a. the freiburg had really big. time for a coffee break of course also in sustainable stock the fair trade beans are roasted in freiburg. you could be honest i was expecting a paper cup with a plastic lid i've been told better that's an absolute no go here and freiburg. good. 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 in freiburg that's known as particularly sustainable for one its energy comes from solar technology. this is the 1st ending 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 scent of these little things that make for sustainable lifestyle like where do the products for the breakfast buffet come from what about the eating 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 sights of your home country for example in the southwest of brazil where all of your got

wrong is silly comes from and very you should definitely visit you will see 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 boat trip will take you to question forbes treated to an invigorating shower at one of the world's 7 natural wonders. let me present a quasi national park in the u.s. go world heritage site it was also declared one of the 7 new owners of the world

and 2011. the park covers 195000 texas and protects the remaining foreigner and flora of the atlantic forest in power in our state but in the. first week was to have some 260000 residents its economy revolves around tourism is drawing visitors to its cultural diversity and natural beauty 6. one must see is the omagh even alcatel mosque oh my it was built in the early 1980 s. and it's part of the significant arab community that arrived in the region in the early 1957 his reason was and i think when.

we think in front of the mosque there's an arab pastry shop so good for those who like to enjoy middle east and treats and a delicious coffee to all the coffee. up all the international friendship bridge was built during the fifty's and sixty's to see spending that are on a river it connects falls to because who in brazil with see it that they're less day in paraguay but in. 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 paraquat and argentina. it's also whether you cause a river convergence with the part on a river and gives the city its night let's find out more about.

the 1st 2 bars one has many surprises in store for tourists especially when it comes to the environment i'm here a 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 presumes main tourist destination was to force this set of 275 water families also marks the brazilian argentine border. is just over there if you like for us to cause you 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. then the buildings here were actually founded by students is an association they organized a completely on their own the financing going themselves and still manage it themselves but for now. the residents must balance their own budget see how high the rents miss be in order to have enough money coming in. it needs to be done for the building's upkeep. sounds interesting so i choose how high my rent is. north of that 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. directly opposite you'll find the heart of the district's largely self-sufficient energy supply i wasn't quite scoffed out 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 and in this case wood chips 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. it shows that it really is possible to source wring out the raw 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. you know. that's a good question but you know there are the residents who are happiest to be photographed and. put a coffee. when in 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. this is a strange ability 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 that income for this is his that's right on occasion we do get on people's nerves but it's simply a critical time of our this is i thought when i missed it the bothers me when people consider it annoying because this is about the big picture. because the

council. has been a pioneer in germany in terms of sustainability for years cycling solar energy the vote own district what's next. in the pipeline as every. 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. 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 unusual quarter with a very innovative climate and mobility concept that in mind that's a huge undertaking. and they moved it it's concept of this is the consequence of i thought another volvo 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 is so scarce that 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 the black forest very close to freiburg and very popular right now. for many visits his lake t.t.c. epitomizes the it elect 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 to. business and i'm happy to

finally be able to round here again it's a kind husband is on the sun the sun shines its glory yes i come here almost every other day even in winter you're always going to run to 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 normandy day trip is 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. before the locals used to say and snappers a coming of age that was the expression they used for the past not as. you might call gad's 57 local historian but his grandfather set up a boat rental business at the lake 111 years ago. now

comprises 90. pleasure boats included with their 1st all electric models. they've been cruising the lake since 968. watching. 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's a because it's off 45th wedding anniversary to. congratulation thank you for. starting in the 1960 s. tourists began coming to. me this is all in the deep 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 with any reputable you can relax a lot more here than somewhere like the riviera in italy or spain i wouldn't even go there for 3. weeks really. and today we actually wanted to go to lake garda but that's not possible now so we thought ok he's a. she says 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 things to sightseeing in a different way ok i live out 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. but i also want to look cool i mean we're filming. 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. the truth comes to spew. forth hips. or what's the axis of rotation don't serve don't look cool don't have fun. 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.

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

50 kilometers leads through the natural landscape of the black forest. this is not as easy. as to fast. to travel in the sustainable way means of all fall 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 the bracing the journey you see more and you're hoovering 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 time you're on check in.
