work the check in with the next on d w. what secrets? why behind the walls, discover new adventures in 360 degree and explore the fascinating world heritage site, the dw world heritage. 360 now me ah ah, ah, me welcome to a new special edition of check in the cobra. 1900 pandemic has made travel difficult, but outdoor activities have become more popular. and nicole movies

have also enjoyed time in the great outdoors. in the past year. we got vega took a camper, van to mark and cycled along the modal river. and nicole free this explored the bavarian out let me 1st stop. luca steger takes us to the beautiful natural landscape, northeast of berlin law. this is the perfect spot. the news i'm doing it like many other germans this corona virus, summer. i borrowed a can prevent it. i look forward to breaking the fresh air in the cup.

there are few people and a lot of space about 2 hours drive northeast of berlin fields as far as the i can see, ah, and many lakes in between. pure nature, my world, ah, i've just arrived. that's my campsite at the lake. the bossier shows me the way to the parking space. so what now? yes ma'am, was let you know mr. steger, i'll walk in front on and you'll drive up there and then back in to ask. oh my yeah, super keep coming. journey bit to the right now go straight on the know the a little to the right. great. you did it done. now i need electricity and action. are there more people here than in the past

years? the government has recommended going on vacation, your own country because of the corona virus, on that for this year. coggan trip in deference to corona virus measures were not fully booked. the book when we could easily accommodate 200 more people, but we don't want to do that of any tune. you can see that there's a lot of space to florida within that we're outdoors and the risk of infection is minimal. but we don't want anything to increase that on there as well. naturally, we have grown regulations. when are they going to we ask that you where a face mask and all public buildings and stores sanitary facilities and that the boat rental would follow up with with hung up visit with the typical campers movies like me or permanent cameras as you can from austin, this is related to that you can assume that in the camper community 10 percent of the people have never been to a german camp ground before. these are now under way to set that up because there's an even bigger run on camp sites. this is not likely, so in normal summers, we turn away 20 people a day and says, lloyd's, now it's 3040 or even 50 from to he was. and i hate to admit it,

but we unplug the phone, come fast, his only handy to the phone. i don't call it just wasn't doable anymore. nice to me or my phone now are there must keep it night. do i have to put on repellent night and i'm told no, we fence them up a good night is this can be as you know, it's not a big from his kiddos. plagues only happen if it's more and warm during breeding season than the larvae hatch. often it goes on, that's not the case this year. count your mosquito plane tickets and will compensate you for each one for you in the shouldn't be too many. i'm not taking a big risk in saying to steve boys. all right, thank you. my neighbors have already made themselves at home. the can prevent me here safely, so now it can take a break. i will explore the area on foot and by bike, and to be honest, i'm really looking forward to over nature and swimming in the lake. so let's go 1st the tour of the site. nice and shaping here. ah,

and there is also a lake. this is very important because it's hot, really hot. ah, let's see if any of my neighbors are at home at all. for conway from come up to come into linda. not far from here. mr. teen lagoon. you've been coming here for 20 years. yeah. yeah. why? you camping? picky cuz we always camp what's the best thing about it, but it's nice to be fresh and it's not so crime shows nice or not. you can find even if the campground still not like being to talk in a hotel with 500 other people. i know the way camping here. this is quarter to the corona. we're on holiday here in germany's my daughter's lunch here. we have a wonderful spot. we're glad to use the my gun in my queue time to get on the

bike news. as a cyclist, you have peace and quiet everywhere on the roads. there are hardly any cars. and you've got plenty of psychopath. that's really enjoyable. ah. did you know who likes to vacation here in the oh, come on. our chancellor, i'm get merkel. she grew up in this area, meadows forest, many rivers, and around $600.00 lakes. so it's just the perfect spot for all those for we're looking for peace and quiet. ah, ah, i want to look around the mach lakes nature park. why

are there so many lakes here? the landscape has its oddities and thomas us knows them. he's the nature guide. and the 1st thing i do is get to know a special landscape architect damage. normally, we have to go in here to get to the beaver dam. you will come august, aka mark has many, many layers. the year we have a natural, a greeted by beaver, who did and stunned, and then we stopped in be made the dam here with wooden mud hold. it's impenetrable and stable to dish on to is off w. i can walk over a little. this is gotcha no problem. conflict. okay, but then i'll climb on. the beaver's roof, being a fever's way, 25 to 30 kilos. so that was my weight again. no, no problem. the beaver design this landscape creating a habit. it for many other species.

that is at all in a days work for a beaver. how long does the beaver take for that? i figure just a couple hours and then there's another leak. it's like a come on. can you actually jump into any leak like that? yeah, more or less, not in terms of the water quality. yes. i seen that, but there are protected areas are not allowed to set foot into calm enough on the street. and when a bunch sticks out is where there's a dock or a beach. it's no problem. i example the large and small lakes they all formed when the glaciers retreated during the last ice age 15000 years ago. ah, i continue my trip through the long, shady avenue. it's a better. i take

a break. the church is as old as the village. it dates from the 13th century. it's nice here. this is the opportunity to buy some provision. i even find regional here. ah, i got my jo from the mog chilly, geez, that's mine. and now let's go to the next lake. me. it's not far. it's obvious that 1st nevada also has a lake this is the perfect spot. the the

the next stop on our chicken special about traveling during the pandemic is the moodle valley. ah, it's pretty dark down here in pretty chilly to i'm in top and on the move delivered . the city is known for these and the grounds hillary balls where are we? what kind of killer is this? one is when one of the largest cell is at the top cover under former wine cellar. unfortunately, they no longer use just such today. it's complex, there are fellows under the hold of tom tom. because at the end of the 20th century, it was a huge wind trading center. people said it was the 2nd largest wine trading center in europe after bordeaux and from baltimore, when in the 1898 alone,

some 18000000 leases of wine made their way from here out into the big, wide, wide. in the course of the 1st thing. all the villagers noted above ground is the bridge gate on the hill. at the beginning of the 1900 century, there was enough whales here to commission the well known berlin art noble architect bono, moving. he not only designed the bridge gate, but also a member of villas art nouveau, architecture characterizes problems to this day. a great place to start my journey along the missouri. ah. today i want to find out why the miguel is one of the most beautiful river escapes in germany. so i'm off for right along a part of the move,

the psychopath from cob kaba, to co him. but that's not all. i'll also be finding out when the wines are so special. the nice thing about the bike path that runs along the river is that it's fairly flat, at least as long as it's close to the water. the missouri valley also offers a lot of beautiful panorama. but for those you have to paddle a little harder. ah, but it's worth taking the d tour uphill here. for example, are the ruins of clever book castle built in the 14th century. it was repeatedly attacked, destroyed and rebuilt, until it was finally blown up in the 18th century. from here, i can get a fantastic view over the moselle valley ah, biking along the most l. i can definitely recommend that. most of the time,

you can ride along the water boy from cars and streets through natural landscapes or small wind rowing villages. the river and the wind. somehow they belong together, especially near. it's where you will find the kmart, probably the most famous vignette in germany because of the deep slope i need the winemaker mocking also. why is the wind from the missouri so special? how does that differ from other wind line to the soil, di and because we have these steep shale slopes, the slate found at these elevations warms. the venue are slightly back and not due to its dark color. the slate stores heat di and are signing, which is admitted to the grape vine, little by little and by not one not given. that means it's always a little warmer up here on the hill than in the flatter areas. and that helps the riesling most of all to ripened well. because riesling is a great variety that ripens relatively late. know, at least so here are the reasoning matures nicely without acquiring too high and

alcohol content. and due to the shale soil binding, it has a great morality to susan chief about and can i eat one can do what it was very like which making were still too far from harvest time. and so it won't be much of a tree with no kind. you'll notice that the grapes are still pretty hard to be. but if you want to try, oh, go ahead. when you will be in merced as cancer kiana torn or all like i said, reasoning ripens late guys, and a lot of it so sour, a lot of acid and not much sugar. we have other varieties that mature somewhat sooner and already taste great. he's make, they have been better for a taste. no, don't be offended, but well, just spit it out. awesome that out of the vineyard into the teacup, mouthy, and also shows me his wine shop and where he can taste the fruits of his labor as

a winemaker. ah, what did we got? yes. lucca selected a wine for you. vine. recently, of course, from the vineyard we just visited in our vine back and give it a try and wins and one shirts. i'm gonna go to dinner with pleasure. so to your health, ms. eigen to void. delicious . wonderful. glad you like has been the good. maybe you noticed the morality i was talking about popping up? well, i'm not much of a one kind of serving. i could say that the wine is somewhere between sweet and sour. what should i be tasting? what is unique about this one? character in mine? generally, it has a slightly peachy romantic. as is the case with many readings. there is the nice,

really characteristic thing about our recent grown on the steep slopes. is it slight morality which makes it tastes a bit salty purpose? if you let the wind dance around a bit on your palette, it develops this characteristic quality and a certain lightness of a special window. even though it's quite mature, it's a bit lighter and doesn't have such a high alcohol content on lifestyle. and that's what makes the modal and it's shale soils, so special. i wonder if you're born and they're more than bodies. machine roommates, the way you along them ozell. the cycle path runs on both banks of the river on routes. you can always find fairies to take you to the other side.

the i still have a few kilometers to go before i'll reach my destination. co. him. visible in the distance is com castle. it looks old, but only dates from the 1900 century, called them as just 5000 inhabitants. but it's much visited city. many of the river cruises set off from here. i've got one last tip for you in cochrane. take the cable car up to the pin up back from there you have to hike a little further over the rock to the pin a coin. the this cross was put here in memory of a shepherd. wanted to take one of his animals from falling and died in the process

. from this spot, you have the whole panorama in front of you. the for our final stop on this special edition of check in nicole release brings us to new heights on a tour in the bavarian out the small, the very in town nestled. and i've come here because i want to spend some time in the mountains 1st on fight, and later on foot, the me destination is the shot. a scenic point in the better stein mountain range. lose the 2nd had a house, build up there for the 1st leg of the journey, i've reserved a bike. i know a whole welcome to make the climb a little easier. i've decided to rent an

e by less and then is there anything i should watch out for? i mean, i think the feelers think probably the most common error people making overestimating the situation. got accomplished with the 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 before this. to over, extend 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 around. you don't come shooting down and it's that all the she's soon as i leave mitten, i'm a nurse in the beautiful bavarian lamps. the past are wide and the ascent is still manageable. after a couple of minutes of riding through the forest, i arrived at a leak louse se, but i still have a long way to go. the

after one last deep climb, i think i deserve another little break. so it's nice to see the better stein. no rest for the weary. it's time for the 2nd part of my track, but i won't be making via send to the king's house. i'm shocked and all by myself. stuff on adam will accompany me. he's a mountain guide from mittens, vice. he said the mountains have a calming effect on him, and that sometimes you just need to stop. look and listen. i was the me 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 thrive here at an altitude of some 1800. ah, that was worth it. not bad, not at all me. and there it is. i can see my goal, the king's house on shot, and at the foot of the better stein mounted me g as in a back, tore them in climate change are said to be threatening. the alpine flora and fauna is that something you see yourself? the keys went a lot of time in the mountains and he was feeling bad when the tourists move. in the case of tourism yes,

some. there are popular spots like the soup spits summit that are really over run by masses of tourism. but as you experienced yourself today, we hardly saw anybody on our way up. can you take it off? there are really quiet areas, for instance, in the call vendor range over there. it's open to even in peak season, and we're at the absolute peak of the season. right now you can be all on your own . same last, this is the one thing that very different this year is the corona virus. and a lot of people are spending their holidays closer to home. many germans are saying in germany. what if you notice here in the region and the us dyna matthews's yeah here and i guess this in the guests are noticeably more relaxed than in recent years. relaxed in the sense that most readily accepted when you say they can't do something or other, if it gets either way, 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 did i get really unpleasant?

we're not seeing any of that core. people seem happy with whatever is possible. i hope it will stay that way for a while. i little paradise right outside your door. the thanks for showing it to me . yeah. hi, pleasure. i can handle the last stretch on my own. the king's house is now in plain sight. of course, king lupe, they didn't walk up here himself. he had servants to carry him in a letter this summer. the king's alpine hide out is closed in compliance with social distancing and hygiene guidelines. but after the long hike, we definitely want you to see what it's like inside me. oh, 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. ah.

the upper story however fully reflects its creator. here louis the 2nd, had a sumptuous hall, built in oriental style, crammed full of gilded carving lip through stained glass windows and decorated with fine rug, magnificent chandeliers and peacock, feather. ah. the turkish room with its found in the centre, provided a spectacular backdrop for the king's birthday celebration. isolated high in the bavarian, recreated the magical world of the night. ah, was my money i was just before reaching my final destination. i have a close encounter with

a stubborn local work. yeah, it's cool. didn't expect that? did you quite nicole. one cow mil ah ah, look at flying is where my journey and king lose me. have the belvedere built not far from his house. from here, the view of the rhine valley is simply breathtaking. ah, if you haven't got anybody to carry you up the mountain height like this is pretty intense, but take the journey. the destination right. plus there is nothing like that feeling of satisfaction. you get, once you reach the top and you get this view,

so extremely exhausting, but also extremely worth it. me ah, ah, excuse me. the, the news, the news, the news

the who's the use a chemical less, less from the 1st world war are being clear here. this is why we're in germany. most more toxins lie dormant in the soil, contaminating the ground why? politicians are letting the grass grow over the problems. but that isn't enough.

chemical weapons in germany. in 15 on d w. what keeps nothing shape. what makes us and how do we spend? my name is doctor constantly. i talk to me that can i watch them at work and they discuss what you can do to improve your head if they choose. and let's all try to stay in good shape minutes w o. i think everything jenny says i make so much different culture between here and there,

so challenging for everything. ah, i think it was worth it for me to come germany. ah, got my license to work as a swimming instructor here. and now i teach children. don't worry what's your story? take part serious on info, migrant dot net ah, me species. an expedition into the language of whales, exciting part of underwater listening as you're getting your window into their, their life that you would never, never see a company in a research team to the specific to the language of whales starts to 4th
