but outdoor activities have become more popular. blue cash diego and nicole foolish 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 moses river and nicole foolish explored the bavarian out me 1st. steger takes us to the beautiful natural landscape, northeast of berlin law. this is the perfect spot. ah i doing it like many other germans this corona virus, summer i borrowed a can prevent it. i look forward to breaking the fresh air. the ok, ah,

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. your nature, my world, ah, my just arrived. that's my campsite at the lake. the bossier shows me the way to the parking space. so what now it's not much less even now 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. turn a bit to the right. super dooper. go straight on the know that 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 in your own country because of the corona virus for this year. and indifference to corona virus measures were not fully booked. the book went, we could easily accommodate 200 more people. but we don't want to do that under 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 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 at the boat rental would follow. and what would suit cognitive visit with the typical campus movies like me or permanent cameras as you can from austin, doesn't feel like 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. now if i say so in normal summers,

we turn away 20 people a day. lloyd, now with 3040 or even 50 from to he was on. i hate to admit it, but we unplug the phone, come fast, is only $100.00 to $4.00. let me call. it just wasn't doable anymore. nice to me. yeah. my now are there must keels at night. do i have to put on repellent? mantel? no, we fence them up a good night. does this kind of thing? as you know, it's not a big deal for mosquitoes. things 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 bites 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 that to steve. 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 buy 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 shady, the 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 chicago to come in. look, linda not far from here. mr. teen lagoon. you've been coming here for 20 years. yeah. why are you camping? because 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 and you can find even if the camp ground still not like being talked in a hotel with 500 other people. i know we the way camping here this quarter due to corona, we're on holiday here in germany's 9 deutschland here we have a wonderful spot. we're glad to use like the,

my god in my queue time to get on the bike. ah. 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. you know who likes to vacation here in the oh, come on. our chancellor and 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 looking for peace and quiet me. ah, i want to look around the mach lakes nature park. why

are there so many lakes here? the landscape has its oddities and to my father's knows them. he's the nature guide . and the 1st thing i do is get to know a special landscape architect damage. it's in. we have to go in here to get to the beaver dam. you will come august. yes. okay, mark has many, many layers. the year we have a natural, a greeted by beaver who is 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 one over a little. this is gotcha no problem and stuff. okay. then i'll climb on the beaver's roof. being a fever's way, 25 to 30 kilos, says my way to the cape. no problem. me the beaver design this landscape, creating

a habitat for many other species. that is at all in a day's 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 showing up in terms of the water quality. yes. of us in that are there are protected areas are not allowed to set foot into calm enough on it's been a bunch. data is where there's a dock or a beach. it's no problem. i sample the large and small lakes. they all formed when the glaciers retreated during the last ice age. 15000 years ago. i continue my trip through the mock along shady avenue

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

ah, the next stop on our check in special about traveling during the pandemic is the moodle valley. ah, it's pretty dark in here. it's pretty chilly to. i'm in on the move in the river. the city is known for these on the ground cellar balls. where are we? what kind of filler is this? hello. hi. this is louis one of the largest sellers of the ton harbor and former wines selling liquor, bike. unfortunately, they no longer used to 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 wine trading center. people said it was the 2nd largest wine trading center

in europe after bordeaux and from baltimore, when in the year 1898 alone, some 18000000 leases of wine made their way from here out into the big, wide, wide in the course of ice of it the 1st thing all visitors 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 nouveau architect, bono, merely, he not only designed the bridge gate, but also a number of villas art nouveau, architecture characterizes to this date, a great place to start my journey along the museum. ah, today i want to find out why the moville 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 a bike path that runs along a 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 even book castle built in the 14th century. it was repeatedly attacks, destroyed and rebuilt, until it was finally blown up in the 18th century. from here i can get a 10 tastic view over the missouri valley. ah,

biking along the moville, 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'll find the kmart, probably the most famous vignette in germany because of a big slope. i need the winemaker mocking ortho volume is why is the wind from the missouri also special? how does that differ from other wind fine to the soil? i and because we have the steep shale slopes, the slate found at these elevations warms. the venue are slightly back, not due to its dark color. the slate stores heat di and are signing, which is admitted to the great bind, little by little. and he does not know hopper given that means it's always a little warmer, up here on the hill than in the flat areas. and that helps the reasoning most of all to ripen well. because reasoning 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 wine. and it has a great morality and not allocate to and she felt bored and can i eat one? can what it was very like which making that were still too far from harvest on time . and so it won't be much of a tree but not 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 kansas kiana torn or all like i said, because i recently ripened 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. and out of the vineyard into the teacup. matthew north shows me his wine shop and where you can taste the fruits of his labor as

a winemaker. ah, what have we got? yes, lucca selected a wine for you. vine with a racing of course, from the vineyard we just visited in our, in vine back and give it a try and. and when should. so i'm gonna go to dinner with pleasure. so to your health, ms. eigen to void. delicious . wonderful. i'm glad you like has been a good maybe you noticed the morality i was talking about. i was often up. well, i'm not much of a wine 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? why? active green vine?

generally, it has a slightly peachy aroma. as is the case with many readings. the nice really characteristic thing about our recent grown on the steep slopes, is it slight morality, which makes it tastes a bit salty puppet. if you let the wind dance around a bit on your pallet, it develops this characteristic quality and a certain lightness of official window. even though it's quite mature, it's a bit lighter and doesn't have such a high alcohol content on life on it. that's what makes the modal and it's shale soils, so special, i wonder table, and no more than if i didn't. she made the that weight map and he put along them ozell, the cycle path runs on both banks of the river on route. you can always find fairies to take you to the other side.

i still have a few kilometers to go before i'll reach my destination co. him. visible in the distance is how come chasm it looks old, but only dates from the 1. 900 century compliments. just 5000 inhabitants, but it's much visited city many mozilla river cruises set off from here. i've got one last fit for you in cochrane. take the cable car up to the pin up, back to the from there you have to hike a little further over the rock to the pin a coin. this cross was put here in memory of a shepherd's. want to save one of his animals from falling and died in the process

. from this spot, you have the whole panorama in front of you. ah, or rather 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 nestles. and i've come here because i want to spend some time in the mountains 1st on site, and later on foot the, the me, my destination is the shuffle scenic point and the better stein mountain range, lose weight. the 2nd had a house build up there for the 1st leg of the journey, i've reserved a bike. i know mine a whole welcome to make the climb

a little easier. i've decided to rent an e by us and then is there anything i should watch out for? i mean, i think the feeler, since probably the most common error people make it over estimating the situation. got accomplished with the bikes will take you just about anywhere. they offer a lot of power. this is then suddenly you're at the summit and can't get down before this. is easy 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 he's been on the she's soon as i leave mitten. i'm in murray and the beautiful bavarian lance the path are wide and the ascent is still manageable. after a couple of minutes of riding through the forest, i arrived at a leak lousy. but i still have

a long way to go. the after one last deep climb, i think i deserve another little break. it was nice to see the better stein. no rest for the weary. it's time for the 2nd part of my truck, but i won't be making the send to the king's house on shop and all by myself. stephan adams will accompany me. he's a mountain guide from mitten vice. he says the mountains have a calming effect on him, and that sometimes you just need to stop his look. and listen, i was

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 thrice here at an altitude of them $1800.00 . 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 shocking at the foot of the better stein mountains. me b, as you know, back toward 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 them back on the big tourist move

. in the case of tourism. yes. some there are popular spots like the soup spit to 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 let it go from? there are really quiet areas, for instance, in the call vendor range over there. it's not even in peak season and we're at the absolute peak of the season. right now, you can be all on your own and same last, this is the one thing that's 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 and 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, i think it's either there's not so much i want it and i want it now which has been something of a trend the past few years. with it i can get really unpleasant. we're not seeing

any of that. people seem happy with whatever is possible. i hope it will stay that way for awhile. little paradise right outside your door. the thanks for showing it to me. my pleasure. i can handle the last stretch on my own. the king's house is now in plain sight. of course, king luke 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. 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 little bit the 2nd had a sumptuous hall, built in oriental style, crammed full of gilded carving lip through stained glass windows and decorated with fine rugs, magnificent chandeliers, and peacock feathers. ah, the turkish room, with its found in the centre, provided a tackler backdrop for the king's birthday celebration. isolated high in the bavarian, recreated the magical world. a be nice. ah . was my money i was just before reaching my final destination. i have

a close encounter with a stubborn local won't work. yeah, it's cool. didn't expect that? did you quite nicole. one cow mill. me. ah, nick, look out. flying is where my journey and king lucy had 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, ah, ah, the news, the news,
