in the not far from darmstadt, we find a property that has already games, unesco world heritage status large abbey, built around the year 800. it was once the biggest monastery in the kingdom of the franks. the close a lot lower. shabby is the world heritage site? i know you might be biased, but what makes this place so special? i didn't complex those on the talking on people. this is what's called the gate house or kings hall by this. as you see, we don't even know what the function was building had, but it's the only carolinian era structure in europe preserved so completely. so type, and it's a very special structure on, because it displays a cultural facade fallback. and often that's unusual,

because normally you find the declaration inside the building. if in the, for example, at churches, they are painted with frescoes. that's especially impressive about some of the books. it's here here, it's the facade, and it's coming from your style tip. and roman masonry technique was used here, and it was always the continuity between the ancient world and the carolinian era folk that makes this building especially precious and art history. and especially attractive to our visitors because it's simply will not reveal its function via this process. from through on this close to the top gatehouse king's home, the name is a bit controversial and you yourself can't give it a definitive name. how come the to the courtesy, but it'll lead to come to me. we can spend down a name calling because the function isn't clear. we also have to consider the possibility that in the kernel engine era, a building like this may have served more than one purpose. it might have been

a conference room or a courtroom suffer from the other to help the king down from his subtle when he visited the abbey, him. but the ceremony workplace were ceremonial. greetings were staged schools. schools that could last was a royal or imperial abbey. so there are many different possibilities to consider. the path. the, the core decor inside doesn't offer any clues, either the frescoes or so neutral. but you can't produce any particular function from them. what the gatehouse isn't right. and because this wasn't the obvious gate and the kings hole is problematic, because it's suggested the king used it in a way. we've never heard of of this kind of or least of course that makes it hard to explain why this is a world heritage site committed. we no longer have a monastic town and tucked here, so it's a close. the monastery disappeared in the 17th century. so now the idea is to show

where the building stood without reconstructing them on which one could do with stones or cars or something. but my daughter, misleading. the idea is this. think of a velvet cushion and jewelers display case. there's a tiara, and at some point the t r is sold, so it disappears with him. so all you have left is a circular imprint in discussion. broken doesn't kiss. so you don't know exactly what the t r a looks like. what it was made of shopping bobby this in the continuum . there's also in this way, is we don't know how tall these buildings where it's, if we don't know if they were grand off, they had lots of windows that were built, but we have the imprint on the ground. and this is the end. and you can see the layout of this complex is like the velvet cushion. there's an impression that's a footprint in the sand was up to confirm. the also part of the world heritage site is loud as the reconstruction of

a carolyn gee and manner. well this if you want to go to the left abilene center, i want to go to the right little him if tiling, that machine was very counter intuitive. ok, why not? let me, let's give it a go plowing like 1200 years ago. why didn't adventure? david the bomb through up have to slower when the off season. they are quite quick. oh, we go healthy, we're the fields back then the boat feels like this could be about a kilometer slow, slow down. so you're a bit better at this than i am. i have to admit,

i'm the loudest is assigned for investigating agricultural techniques and the life of the carolyn james. scientists work here, but are happy to show visitors around kind. this is an open air lab, not a museum. what about the, about the complete complicated title would be experimental archaeological open air laboratory. there is, i'm carol engine manner laws. i'm a thank goodness people, just say leverage if you want to show what a man looks like 1200 years ago of his hope because they want to show we're not a museum. bargain does research night and fashion arts, and i want to explore everything from the daily customers in the sense of old craft to the finer lifestyle of the upper class of the time. and that was for me on the open airy lab loudness have opened in 2014

the scientists here mostly work with universities and museums. and you have a historical model based on the big challenge for these many evil houses. it's not often we can only reconstruct the parts where pillars one stood and one of the floors and everything else are not there anymore. you have to imagine a lot of the stuff now and then a wall might be preserved. but sometimes there isn't archaeological evidence. bunch of thing i have to ask ourselves again and again, how would i saw this 12 in refuse about the her stuff? well, here's one possibility for a chair, looks incredibly modern. it's reconstructed according to early, many findings. me. this is amazing.

me me another place to check out not far from downstairs is the bank's trust. the park is truly remarkable. an avalanche of rocks that stretches half a kilometer up the mountain with a finger to pick tackler spot to climb. one could think it was put here by humans, but you know about the real origins, don't you? my current one could think that you had to, in fact, the local population. imagine the giant laid it all down instead of. but of course, the real story is more exciting than this formed about 340000000 years ago. for deep down in the earth, about 10 kilometers. and in the course of the earth history,

it made its way up. and today we're sitting on top of those rock quarter system, but he also using cust island isn't it isn't part, it's not a nature reserve. i'm not a national park. what exactly is the part? could you break it down for me? quotes and i can steal pucks shifting fish in park steel primarily with earth systems. how does our planet work from science? how does it influence our landscape? how can we make use of it for regional planning? the space, the phone, but you could say we've merged the best of both worlds into a g o nature perm combining the geo park topics with a nature park topics. so environmental protection is seen in the context of our geological legacy to someone with him. that's something very special. when does this from us on the present time, you're also part of the worldwide unesco network. is that only perks or does it come with commitments? well this, unless the di didn't, these is put because somebody should be in the title is not awarded permanently.

you know, it has to be renewed every 4 years. so that when this school unesco looks at the progress we've made and that means we can't keep doing the same old same old husband, some that we have to keep developing and be creative to sign. i'll stay in the forest a little longer because i'm in for a very special experience. i got my in the food thing. i breathed deeply. right down to your desk in close your eyes, if you can because once your sense of sight is blocked out, your senses of hearing, smell, and touch, are far more open. that task to feed off. now

you feel on legs and our belly and our back. how and i had what's called claudia actually is a volunteer park ranger. she introduces me to something called forest bathing, a tradition that started in japan. the idea is to consciously seek relaxation in nature by taking in my surroundings with all my senses. all right, i'll take you that you have time to get to know your tree. so i know he gives me different tasks. one of them feeling a tree with my eyes close and then finding it again,

making i figured it out. we just needed some work. ah, we definitely started that way. so let me get it had been happy. i remember feeling ranches and mon so i'll say that one sitting down. let me use that comes a more relaxing assignment. ok. simply let your

so float. like i said ok. all right. she doesn't time just fly when you're having fun. that's our show already. i think my trip here really proved once again that it's always worth it to veer off the beaten path. and i really hope you enjoyed it as much as i did take care and see you next time me. ah ah ah cruise
