the metal and let's ride, ah read. in 60 minutes on d, w. d w's crime fighters are back a little bit africa's most successful radio drama series continues, but all episodes are available online. and of course you can share and discuss on d. w, africa's facebook page and other social media platforms, crime fighters, tune in now. ah, ah, ah, ah hey, 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 countryside rhein, the new mcgill? 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. it source is high in the mountains in austria, and then later the river flows through bavaria until it eventually has its confluence with a den you only in austria. you can experience the river like this with rapids to 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 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 root is a part of the way from fortune in austria to lance beck. i'm late in germany. it's about 90 kilometers. i'm looking forward to lots of nature action and a little bit of sightseeing.

ah, no, sean stein castle is at the top of my list. i am approaching in all the various traditions and outs, walt my bike for a kayak. ah. the late poorest into germany with all the power brought from the else. this is the less funny, efficient at the moment the river's carrying lots of water and he can feel that what out here the lakes, hydro power has been used to generate energy for centuries. here by harnessing and natural waterfall, using with this was driving milk 200 years ago. ah,

from here i follow the late into fission. 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 either 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. first in the algoy, 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, every travel guide, and that's exactly what i'm looking for. ah,

there someone standing there if you knew, if you're right on the end of the romantic road, what a privilege yar business your albert would long come to for? yes, it is midnight. but after a while it gets to be a bit much lighter. these days people are coming from all over the world. is a lot of agony. again for mine. it wasn't even the end of the romantic, wrote a title to duck 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, rattle it, and think he didn't go any farther, knocked him to india since the romantic road leads up to here. and he thought he'd paint that phrase up there if any molly didn't, that was it was now the whole world comes here. it's come to gone to me there. 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 voice balk where the main site

is. the magnificent fort spoke 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 from mass 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 void spoke and noise run 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 oldest 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 this 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 lewd for the 2nd, the various most famous monarch he ruled from 186421886. my shaun shyness,

the largest and most expensive of the 3 castles he had built. we're only allowed to shoot here outside of normal visitor hours, so we have to hold castle through ourselves. blue nash launched i was built as a medi 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. oh, 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 a room. and when one of those small things here came down, the can need 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 ludovic the 2nd was a little taller than me,

one meter and 91 centimeter 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, tannhauser 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 a noise launched was completed. she never had a chance to experience the singer hall, filled with music,

which had wagner oper us were meant to be performed here. but that never happened. the frescos all around, shall scenes from the opera posse fight. yeah, i think this is my favorite room. during luke vis 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 spawn 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 fish in the lake. we'll 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's passionate about the very tradition. max is an ice hockey coach and a devoted wear of traditional bavarian dress. it's important to him to pass the traditions onto the younger generation. they help please isaac his period because of the ice hockey. i received invitations to switzerland and america and cologne. i never went because i never felt quite up to it. i'm too closely tied to my home max teaches the kids in his club and anyone who asks him a centuries old, the very full tense shoe plotted soup latin. what is she? i've seen clips on youtube, but where does it come from?

what is it that was from beyond him for the climate originated in the textile company with the old crossman. and these were men from all over the region who are actually just trying to get the attention of the women in the area and beyond own by showing off more or less in competition that evolved into prize platinum and some to show off what you can do i splattering and for home to take my come as an off dan, so to speak. when, when did it start? last english up in the year. 1900. that's when a club was founded in fuson ended by 910 or 12. and there was some very good dancer, that's when it really called the thing lawful. when is it just dancing or is it more of a sport sport? this is, there's definitely a sport and that's it takes coordination, stamina and strength. you'll see if there's slap on your upper fi doesn't hit squarely, it doesn't sound like anything was into when he's talking comment. i don't think it's on this was is this more an old fashioned tradition or

a coolant popular with young people? again, many as a silver cool and old fashioned, the traditionalists stand with other traditionalists on the best example of that for under that modern and typically traditionally my clothes and i embrace both with my modern will help that i had a tooth fuel but not many here do because it's a bit frown upon her. it is what cannot any one learn it alone? can't any one who can count 211, not fall on their heads and is coordinated? hm. i can't do it. i can show you what has anyone not get the hang of it? no, there's no one like that. no, the pressure's not getting with my jacket. no, no. where as little as possible or your switch with a killer you every platinum starts with foot stomping. so was there, where's the applause?

i know it's i'll show you the basic under water plant low really it has grown cease was a plug in his thought . this is on a flat, le 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. go see them at all. i 123. i'm 123. exactly. again, 9123, 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, the even asked, knowing thin if and all right again, iron slide that i fear i inspired dr. dea burns dex even. ah no and see if we're good. now you're terrible thing 1st, though, most again, once, mormon, i'm for that, i fear ha, that we good it. you can i hook you up to the you may that was satisfying what's i mean? this is not simply tradition brockton manny, thanks. ah!

now it's time for the late again. it, i'm in 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. over there is moist weinstein castle, king movie. the 2nd knew exactly where the beautiful spots were. he just loved this region here, the algo, the am a go alps and to be honest,

i can't understand why we continue along the leash. i, instead of high mountains, there are meadows and more lakes left and right. small towns, the varian easy going, unwinnable. 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 late in 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 lakes hydropower is used to generate electricity. there are over 20 such dams before the river empties into the danube. in dune, overt 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 that 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 lid. so loop rangers offer guided tours in an effort to draw attention to the habits unique features and the problems facing it went out and then isn't among other things. it's the dams, philosophy, these i river like this that comes down from the alps. yep. it needs its bent low to those assign the name of alexia, who she fed load house doesn't her nuts, the gravel rocks and debra. what a yard, the material that's broken away and eroded from the mountains and comes down on to the rivers and streams, carry it along into the danube. and then on into the black sea door now. and i'm in the shop from here from the river. looks good to me. what's the problem? this little live problem is that we can't look through the water can then we can imagine the river as a vital artery, harder. yeah. if it gets stopped up or doesn't flow prop latest, the ecosystem breaks down,

put this ecosystem needs freely flowing waters with bet load labor. these dynamics are vital to the survival of many specialized and endangered species in the river on flow. for the fall here, the gravel banks are essential. there is 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 russ, i got the hydro power plants on the lake supply a large part of the region. they cannot all be dismantled enough. zach, 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, a human. we have to integrate this protection if we make use of flowing waters,

that 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? hm. okay. it isn't the only stuff. it all, not up to us to say what the solution is. we move, we present ideas, visions and proposals, and on to for slee again, we'd like the government to support us in developing a plan for the future. see, i'm so comfortable on. and because i couldn't to plan for the future, could you give an example? wasn't concrete, enforce vega, i looked much food at all, for example, reintegrate streams as a natural, reintroduce natural flood protection. oh and you know, with a maximum water level. so more with a water can flow out here, then put in natural bypass streams instead of concrete fish ladders. i'm not really sure we just want to see a concept of the future of the lecture from apple edition songs 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 life. 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 3rd, 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. 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 lun. 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 specialty in the alpine region. lance back is a nice town. everything you see here is actually still original winding

streets, colorful houses. the atmosphere here reminds me a bit of italy there is even the piazza lun spec, 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, phyllis. 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, with

do you like it? with do you want it? okay, then, but go up, put the pedal to the metal and let's ride with

read in 30 minutes on d w. time seems to stand still in. yeah. the victor's enemies and victims, and then your will, your to on the present as is the hope that to, to will make russia great again what's lacking our prospects and a chance to in their lives in 60 minutes on d. w. o. blue with they will say will make the genesis, he'd just been a gym love on banning thing away from that. but i'm not going to have to work my

own car and everyone was laid holden every day. just getting, are you ready to meet the german can join me, rachel stuart on d. w. go, mike speaking, how can miss national hatred of a people be explained? a gold pump o? a history of anti semitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles. christian christianity wants to convert. that is why christianity used the figure of the jew as little tesla. it's a history of slender, of hatred, and violence. is the puppies memorial and then on the jews were considered servants of evil. we simply told you the most atrocious chapter. a 3rd of our people were exterminated 6000000 jews, like microbes to be annihilated. even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards
