a mountain village myself. i was us finish it. it's very innovative and a way to get people back into these valleys, to enjoy the peace and quiet, and the landscape, the awakening of the long term view locals labs hope the project will bring their village back to line. also assisted it's ok with me. the hotel doesn't bother us, because otherwise the village would die out over time. because the few of us left here aren't young any more japanese committee old nest though attends a kindergarten in the valley below. it's a 15 minute drive away. desi rape waffle is glad he's gotten used to village ly salmon and unavoidable much of course in this tiny place, every one knows, every one and a nest to likes it. he says there is valentino drinking a coffee, mac jato up until. and when we go up stairs, he else, bye max, bye savannah shout. he knows every one. and that's great, yada soon,

work has been in demand around the world for over 2 decades for its certificate physical dinner, we have gained a lot of experience over the years with dignity though, at the peak of our success in itself, i even met with the royal family in england. the cross to summer. prince charles is among the admirers of nino pud pools carpets. the manufacture and bulgaria can meet the exacting standards set by the royals. he can produce exceptionally large, extravagant designs that are also true to the originals. these carpets in britain's royal palaces look exactly like their historical counterparts from centuries past. due me than a child, according to prince charles, we're the last people in the world who can reproduce things that belong to the historical and cultural heritage of europe. wrong of this one. overall. these are the people preserving that cultural heritage, the weavers. their knowledge and skill passed down from generation to generation

only. here is a priceless asset in years. naples live is at the curb. we are the last weavers of these carpets in europe. i think we should keep this tradition alive because it is something of great value sim. among the special qualities of these new carpets, faithful to historical originals, are the vibrant colors. these cauldron are used to infuse the natural pigments into the wall. it takes mathematical precision to achieve just the right color tones. that is nino power pool of responsibility. his immense knowledge, the secrets of the formulas are preserved and a hand written note book. he asked, well, i have to make sure that the colors of the carpet are exactly what the customer ordered, but that's why i work with 6500 pigments which are then used to create the many

colors for new searches during. it's a good me no more, no problem. ah, the homeless carpet manufacturer is located about 150 kilometers from the bulgarian capital. sophia, in the little village of co stand of time seems to have stood still here. the clock seemed to take more slowly than in the big city. the carpet weavers also come from costano. val, depending on how big a carpet is and how many colors are needed. it can take up to 10 months to create one carpet. another secret of persian style carpets are there ingenious knots? the thread forms the pattern on both sides. persian carpets got their name from the region where this method of weaving originated persia in what is now iran. a grid system is used to divide the pattern into small squares. precision is key.

quality checks are made for every few centimeters. single mistakes can destroy a whole carpet and put the family business in jeopardy. the weaver is bare a lot of responsibility. so the big new in an ordinary weaver working here wouldn't be able to handle this many colors. we thought there are up to $240.00 colors in a single carpet vis each did a city of it is this magnificent variety that distinguishes handmade person style carpets, industrially produced goods have only a few colors. in cos thunderbolt, however, each piece gets its own pattern and color combination and thus its own price. a carpet can cost several tens of thousands of euros for each new pattern, the weavers have to have extra training. with you have to be patient,

you have to be attentive, you have to focus on the carpet all the time. persian carpets became popular in europe in the early 16th century. back then, they decorated european palaces with animal tree and flower motifs. they have become an integral part of european culture, also developing their own motifs. here in co stan duvall, this culture and tradition is being kept alive. as you know, walking is one of the best forms of exercise and it's become trendy to count how many steps you've taken. or d, w reporter, actual primavera. he took counting steps to another level when he decided to climb up over $4000.00 wooden steps in norway.

$4444.00 to be exact and now was just one way. we went along to see if he really made it to the top. this the with, it's around 6 o'clock in the morning. i want to fairy a very foss, fairy. and i'm on my way to my next adventure. it's all about for all the $4444.00, it's the allegedly highest wooden staircase in the world. this slowly stance on one of norway's many fjords in the fall of europe, the ferry, the parts from star vonda. it's the only way to reach the wooden staircase. ah, young lateness is my guy today. she's been showing hackers around the region for

years. the staircase begins at the bottom near the be quiet building the old hydro electric plant. it is sent to a mountain over 700 meters high. now you listen to me and you do in my temple, because then you're going to feel it's going to be a great trip ticket though, like this. i, the staircase was built along with a raised end pipes for the hydro electric plant in the early 19 hundreds book. and so far as the sets they are really narrow. so you have to be really careful with each single step. and for me it's quite hard to keep the pe so being so slow, but i think yan is probably really right, is taking it slow is the right choice. if you really want to make it a bear. are

you kidding me? it's going to be okay. oh yes, this is going to be okay if you'd easy, ah, please tell me a been tough. it's hard sometimes to hydro electric plant workers had to climb these stairs every day. okay. this says exhaust, and what i learned looking down is not a good idea at all. but something especially is also

a bit the steps. they all not the same height so you don't get used to okay. step to have that. no, you have to really be cautious with every step your tech has to happen. yes. hope if you want her dad. i have a but janet, if i look up there, what i see there doesn't help at all or yes, it does because we are getting closer and closer. we know that the law mean no, we don't give a motorized winch used to haul wagons with tools and materials up the rates alongside the stairs. but there is nothing to haul me up. but even so we are slowly getting there. ah
