ah, what can be done to prevent people from losing sleep? oh, in 45 minutes on d w. they want to know what makes the gentleman he just been a john love on banning thing that way, but i'm not going to have to work my own car and everyone was laid holden every day . first getting a you ready to meet the gentleman and join me right? just do it on d. w. ah, ah, ah ah, i'm going on

a bike to her to day. it starts in austria just across the border with germany. in the middle of the mountains, the alps, 8 great country side rhyme . the new melville. these are all reverse you've probably heard of before. but do you also know the less the less is one of the last wild mountain rivers in europe. its source is high in the mountains in austria, and then later the river flows through bavaria until it eventually has its consequence with it. then you only in austria, you can experience the river like this with rapids and gravel banks,

left and right. you can see high mountains in portia. there is the 1st little challenge for me. a suspension bridge. to be honest, i'm a little nervous walking over this bridge. this is an unbelievable mm mm. you can cycle all along the lake from the source to the confluence. that's around 250 kilometers. the weight is well sign posted. my route is a part of the way from fortune in austria to lance beck. i'm late in germany. that's about 90 kilometers. i'm looking forward to lots of nature action and a little bit of sightseeing.

ah, noise feinstein castle is at the top of my list. i am approaching in all the varian tradition and out swapped my bike for a kayak. ah. the lake pours into germany with all the power brought from the else. this is the less funny, efficient at the moment the rivers carrying lots of water and he can feel that a little wet out here. the lakes hydropower has been used to generate energy for centuries. here by harnessing and natural waterfall using with this was driving mills 200 years ago.

ah, from here i follow the lake into fuson. that's the 1st town north of the austrian border on the very south of bavaria. fuson has a very pretty old town that you should definitely see met evil streets, historical buildings. the town is over 2000 years old. these for sa paintings are typically bavarian, and as you can see, i am not alone fuson in the algo, it's one of the main attractions on the romantic road, so it always welcomes visitors. the end of this popular holiday route is mentioned in every travel guide, and that's exactly what i'm looking for. ah,

there someone standing there. you look, you're right on the end of the romantic road, what a privilege your business your albert long come to for. yes, it is mcchloe, but after a while it gets to be a bit much would you like to these days? people are coming from all over the world east of our i give a cake for mine. it wasn't even the end of the romantic road. as i thought to a dock that was a gag. my father came up with going on. he was retired at the time and watched people come up to the door here. rutledge and think he didn't go any father knocked him to india since the romantic road leads up to here. oh, he thought he'd paint that phrase up there if any molly and thought was it. well now the whole world comes here, it's company gone to, i think i've learned something new, but i still need a photo. mm. ah, if there's ever been a journey that is its own reward, it's the one along the romantic road. it begins in what's balk,

where the main site is, the magnificent forts book residence. it was declared to unesco world heritage site as early as 1981 and it's well worth a visit. brought spokes, old town has a relax and easy going atmosphere that even extends across the old bridge. it's a great way to start a holiday. heading south for met naturebox hikers and bike riders will all find a lot to keep them occupied along the 460 kilometer road. the now famous romantic road was 1st marked out over 70 years ago. since 1950 millions of vacationers have discovered some of germany's romantic sides between board spoke and noise fun shine either in a talk group or on their own. an absolute must in northern bavaria is hot and walk

of debt. alba, the old town with its well maintained medieval architecture office, many popular photographic opportunities. the romantic road continues on to dingles booth. alongside wattenberg, it's one of germany's best preserved medieval towns. the next stop is alex book. one of germany's own, the cities. the real end of the romantic road is in fuson in the algo region. never famous noise feinstein castle built by the bavarian king logic, the 2nd ah, noise feinstein castle, the whole world knows about this place and believe it or not, i've never been there. but now it's time i enter the realm of king lou feet, the 2nd, the various most famous monarch he ruled from 186-4218. 86. my schon shine is the

largest and most expensive of the 3 castles he had built. were only allowed to shoot here outside of normal visitor hours, so we have the whole castle through ourselves. blue nash launch dine was built as a metty evil fairy tale castle. playful and teeming with sumptuous details. each hall is decorated with a different subject from the world of germanic myths and legends. the royal families, heraldic symbol, shows up everywhere moist lunchtime castle. shavonne is sworn ah, it was supposed to look met evil,

but the fixtures had to be ultra modern. and so the castle is simply peppered with modern technology. a telephone that was sensational at the time. and this year to this is some kind of motion detector. every little window represents the room and when one of those small things here came down, the key needs something right there. ah, the opportunity to walk through here alone really is a privilege. awe on normal days before cove it around 7000 people passed through the castle every day up to 60 people at a time where here in this bedroom, hard to imagine, ah, sleep like a king here. that's what i would like to do, and the bed is even long enough. because king ludovico the 2nd, was a little taller than me, one meter and 91 centimeters,

lute fish. the 2nd is also called the fairy tale king. not only did he create beautiful castles, he tended to live in his own dream world. he had this grotto built in the middle of his living quarters. pretty crazy idea. it put him in the world of the wagner opera 10. alyssa. lieut. vision was a great admirer. and patron of the famous composer he had wagner. well, what have you ah, the sad part is that lute vision only knew this castle as a construction site. he died before noise launch time was completed. he never had a chance to experience the singers hall,

filled with music. the cat wagner operas were meant to be performed here. but that never happened. the frescos all the round show scenes from the opera posse fight. the. i think this is my favorite room. during luke this rain, there was little understanding for his building craze. what the bavarian king had created only came to be appreciated by later generations to day by swan stein is one of the most visited castles in europe. lou that was fantastic. finally, i've been through my shrine stein castle. it may be down hill from here, but it's fun. now i'm heading back to fuson. the lake will have to wait

a little longer for me. hardly any other region in bavaria is home to so many traditional costume and regional a history societies. as the algo, i have a meeting with someone who is passionate about the very tradition. max is an ice hockey coach and a devoted wearer of traditional bavarian dress. it's important to him to pass the traditions on to the younger generation. it help please isaac his spirit because of the ice hockey. i received invitations to switzerland and america and cologne. okay . i never went because i never felt quite up to it. i'm too closely tied to my home . max teaches the kits in his club and anyone who asks him a centuries old bavarian folk dance. schoo platen sure platen, what is shoe butler? i've seen clips on youtube but where does it come from? what is it health?

the was put on builds him for us in the climate originated in the textile company with the old craftsman minerals that on these were men from all over the region who were actually just trying to get the attention of the women in the area and beyond all by showing off more or less in competition so. so hope that evolved into prize platinum. some to show off what you can do, i spluttering and for home to tighten. must not come as a show off. dance so to speak. you would read. when did that start? last gingerich started up in the year 1900. that's when our club was founded in fuson ended by 1910 or 12. and there was some very good dances. that's when it really called caring, letting lawful. when is it just dancing or is it more of a sport? but this is, this is definitely a sport and mature takes coordination, stamina, and strength. you'll see if the slap on your upper fi doesn't hit squarely, it doesn't sound like anything, washington. and then he thought compton doesn't lennox on this was,

or is this more in old fashioned tradition or coolant popular with young people again and by humans. as a silver cool and old fashioned, the traditionalist stand with other traditionalists on the best example of that for a better modern and typically traditional in my clothes. and i embrace both. my modern will help that i had a tooth fuel, but not many here do because it's a bit frown upon her and it won't cannot any one learn it alone. can't any one who can count to 11 not fall on their heads and is coordinated? am i kid to this guy can show you what has anyone not get the hang of it? no, there's no one like that. no, the pressure's on that with my jacket. no, no. where as little as possible or your switch with them. okay. yeah, every platinum starts with foot stomping. so was there, where's the applause?

oh no it's. i'll show you the basic and the water plant low really it has grown cease, was applauding his thought . they susanna flatly starts on is not bad. it's easier if you look straight ahead . oh yes, not conflict with a little stronger. this exactly. smockey with strength, coordination, stand here and use your head is a couple of give you a heads up that she had the all i 123. i 123, go exactly. again. i 123, looks clumsy, right?

off the set. so lots of a clumsy but we'll work it out to newer, newer ions. why? but i the year funds decks. we even asked knowing thin f and a right again, iron side, but i fear i inspired dr. kia burns dex even ah, law. and see if we're good now your type of thing, almost again. once mormon, i'm for that. i fear. ha, that we got it. you can i hook you up to that you may that will satisfy once i leave. this is not simply tradition brockton. many thanks. ah,

now it's time for the lation again. it i'm on the right place here at the jetty. mm. i treat myself to a little short cut by boat. with the foggins, the lake also belongs to fish. actually it should be called lexi lake because it is the revelation damped to form a lake. incidentally, it's the largest reservoir in all of bavaria. ah, over there is moist launched on castle king loop in the 2nd knew exactly where the beautiful spots were. he just loved this region here, the algo, the, i'm a go alps and to be honest,

i can understand why we continue along the leash. ah, instead of high mountains, there are meadows and more lakes left and right. small towns the varian easy going and where double. cycling is so easy here. it's all smooth. at the countryside is incredibly beautiful. i'll stop right here because there is nothing but silence.

to follow the lation germany, i need the gps now and then the cycle path is not yet marked here. as it is in austria, on the german side, that won't happen until next year. in germany, the river also looks different than in austria. here there is one dam after the other. the late hydro power is used to generate electricity. there are over 20 such dams before the river empties into the danube into no vote. the river is only allowed to flow freely in a few places in the lit, so loop, for instance, this stretch of the lake is a nature reserve. there was a time when the lake was unparalleled in central europe for its biodiversity. but since it's been used to generate power, hydro electric plants regulate the speed of its currents and determine its water

levels that puts a strain on the ecosystem. on the lit sell loop rangers, offer guided tours in an effort to draw attention to the habits unique features and the problems facing it went out and them isn't among other things, it's the dams philosophy. these are a river like this, that comes down from the alps. deborah needs, it's bent low to those assign labels, alexia, will she lead load house? doesn't her? that's the gravel rocks and debris matter. yeah, the material that's broken away and eroded from the mountains and comes down onto the rivers and streams. carry it along into the danube and then on into the black sea all now and then in the shrub, from here, from the river, looks good to me. what's the problem with the flow live? and the problem is that we can't look through the water. can we can imagine the river as a vital artery, harder if it gets stopped up for doesn't flow prop latest, the ecosystem breaks down,

put this ecosystem needs freely flowing waters with bet load number. these dynamics are vital to the survival of many specialized and endangered species. in the river on flow for the fauna here the gravel banks are essential. there's no alternative habit it. hydro electric power may sound climate friendly, but it takes its toll on the river. environmentalists say the advantages don't sufficiently offset the ecological disadvantages. the hydro electric plant operators have installed sediment bypasses and fish letters, but the environmentalists would like to see more open space for the river. the vasa, hydro power plants on the left, should supply a large part of the region. they cannot all be dismantled enough. it is ok now we're not saying everything has to be dismantled, but we're in a climate crisis and we need sustainable energy resources and not renewable energy sources with a sustained destruction of habitat as humans. we have to integrate this protection

if we make use of flowing waters, the protection has to be integrated for that's not the case on the lesson degree of sun, but what has to happen to improve the rivers situated woodgate isn't the only stuff it is not up to us to say what the solution is, he moves we present ideas, visions and proposals, and on to profligate. we'd like the government to support us in developing a plan for the future. see and feel comfortable. and because i couldn't the plan for the future. could you give an exam, wasn't concrete for slager either much for the, the, our, for example reintegrate the stream. so naturally we introduce natural flat protection. oh and you know, with a maximum water level. so more river water can flow out here, then put in natural bypass streams instead of concrete fish, ladders out natrona. here we just want to see a concept for the future of the lecture from apple edition song concept. that'd be a dream come true. tick, those i am from the licenses for the 1st stamps are due to expire. soon. environmentalists like pizza are hoping that will open a window of opportunity to reshape the future of the lace by.

i've swapped my bike for a kayak. this water sport is popular everywhere here on the lake. tom is a kayak instructor and shows me how to do it since i've never done this before. first, i have to learn how to get out of the boat. if i tip over all those 1st, a real test of courage for me at now, i have to peddled straight ahead. it's harder than i thought. how does tom do it? ah, yes it works with

a thunderstorm is approaching. we have to get out of the water. it's a shame. i almost got the hang of it was so much fun. i escaped from the storm and continued down river to land speck of leash. my last stop. i'll leave the bike here because i need a snack. and it will be sweet. delicious. apple strudel, a special see in the alpine region. lance back is a nice town. everything you see here is actually still original winding

streets, colourful houses. the atmosphere here reminds me a bit of italy there is even the piazza lance, back. the main square. at the highlight, there is the town hall. take a look. it's the finest rococo and then there is my friend valet. i can hear him before i see him. the colleen wheel is one of the main attractions of lance back. i followed the lane for 90 kilometers. now it's time to say good bye. well, this river was a real discovery for me. i didn't really know about the left before and i have to say the landscape here is just beautiful. so grab

a bike right along the lake and i am pretty sure you won't regret it. just give it a try. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, ah, with

who insomnia. all over the world more and more people are having trouble sleeping. some of them even sleep all day and are active at night. but sleep disorders have detrimental effects on the body and may even increase the likelihood of dementia.
