a good. yeah. i feel great. and so i'm not under any pressure with i'm not one of the favorite since they're a guys younger and stronger than we wanted. what the competition as far from decided to se the dollar hooked up, the tournament gets underway. the downstairs all dressed in white carry wouldn't. shields in lances. it's a fierce competition. and one after another goes overboard. the rules haven't changed since the port of set was founded in 1666. ah, you every once in good spirits. it's a very traditional sparks with all the water, just those who come here and he did. yes. you know, we're happy to be here with our friends, so it's fun. we just don't know the rules. like who's again and i will find out.

there before his tragic death in 1886. and even though the castle welcomes millions of visitors each year, it was never intended to be open to the public. now that is just one of the surprising facts of this legendary structure. no feinstein was the favorite castle at the various fairy tale. king ludovic, the 2nd, and hardly any one knows it better than this man who is here to reveal 5 little known facts about the castle. scott scott been? i'm prince leopold of bavaria cru. king look, think the 2nd was my great, great, great uncle. yet though, i'll let you in on some of the background and secrets of this castle flag. the cornerstone was late in 1869 near the town of fuson bavaria. it said that up to $300.00 crafts people per day worked on the site, creating an architectural masterpiece that still enchants people. the world over. secret number one is o'brien's, or it's so impressive that even disneyland had

a castle built that's based on it knocked about. so even walt disney realised this is the kind of castle that children and king look like. the 2nd would dream of can go on when routing ty alshaun was that make the 2nd wanted noise feinstein, to recall a medieval knight's castle more than any other of his building projects. this one embodies the ideals and dreams of the fairy tale. king. i bombed evolve more interested in the arts than politics with him of one of my i admire him because he had a vision that he was determined to make a reality vote. that might be what connects me to him. as someone who comes from the house of vittles box criminal, san jose computer, he was one of the best known kings, though he's also been misunderstood. awarded by he was called crazy things like that, remote on there. but in truth i was, he was just a person who wanted to create something very special. this on the shopping border.

the halls have many surprises in star. i. yeah, i just imagine of him, i really do. you go from the living room into a grotto and i called that's the kind of thing he dreamed of. who i may have more time for. he wanted to create something extraordinary. i was like something that transcended rhianna. i'll sit entity the holes with and now for secret number 2 with ya noon. tie you now, i'll show you something very special that nobody has been allowed to see because at least none of the tourists working, careful them. there's a secret door here. i'm taylor. i'll open and markets all, he could disappear through here, leaving the grotto. and so far he could get away from every one without passing by them. and dick on, he just vanish and for by the comb pushing it out. there's also another door that brought him back into the castle. ludwig, the 2nd was not only a dreamer, he was

a pioneer of technological progress. and that brings us to secret number 3 here my diet that here's part of the technology he had developed on this. and this is a telephone that was installed in 1884 to because he wanted to have a connection to hone sean gal castle gamer a day. he was always coming up with ideas and inventions early in the z. and boy, an electric bell system with a switchboard would show the servants where the king was at any time with its central heating and up to date kitchen appliances. the castle was far ahead of its time our lives and i'd love to have a time machine and go back to the year 1884 and ask him why he did what he did out of agatha. the bedroom walls are covered with scenes from the offer is efficient by the castle itself is attribute to the famous german composer and that's where secret number 4 comes in. within here here we see rashad wagner is tristan and his

old over there had few big worked with him a lot and was really impressed by his music going on. and he had that reflected here, if you give you a feeling of kings, and vic only got to spend 172 days that noise launched on castle. it had not yet been completed when he died in 1886. at that time only the gate house at the entrance and the palace with the living quarters were finished, which brings us to secret number 5. just our noise johnstone castle was never completed. your boat, only the torso is standing here. now aunt fees are going to this floor plan. you see here was going to be the chapel capella given back there. where that gordon is, is where the castle keep was to be belong. is that unfortunately it was never finished up if you wanted is not the location he chose. paranoia feinstein castle is unique and figure out surrounded by mountains and lakes. lower than bowden. he planned to have a dam, build to create a lake here where he could go boating,

mind seeds of shopping, where so he had fantastically interesting ideas, said it, it would have been nice to see what that might have looked like as in, oscar shows, it even in its unfinished state noise feinstein, castle fascinates people around the world today it's one of the most popular tourist destinations in germany. now, one thing you notice when you tour castles like noise feinstein is the detailed artistry of the interiors. they are often enhanced to buy decorative mouldings, which is an ancient handicrafts seen in classical or baroque architecture. now hand produce stucco moulding is associated with the past. but one artist in portugal is giving it a fresh new look. oh those see all that one, that is it's something very special to work with this material because it's always such

a great inspiration says that about every step in the process is important to me from the really big ones to the smaller ones because i enjoy every step along the way, the my skin last student fuss loops. this is so even the n. my name's even vienna, and i'm a sculptor. i work exclusively with plaster, which has always been my passion you by shown this simple vienna do crushed at about 75 kilometers north of porto. eva vienna lives and works here. in her studio, she creates stucco artwork in all shapes and sizes. her creations are a departure from traditional or nate stucco decorations they grace private houses, restaurants and hotels, the world over in to look seasonal past. so everything from the past serves as great inspiration to me with through this there's a long tradition that i tried to draw on speed than i want to maintain, respect for what's gone before, but employed the technique in

a more contemporary fashion. to put a news, every project starts out with a sketch like this one for a private client in the united states. lucas this, this for this panel. it was important to me to add the element of water, for example, into aqua. the client for this work is not from here. an ocean lies between his country and portugal bottle please. the stories that i'm telling through the work or my own re interpretation thought is q val vienileva contend believe in tando foreman, the artist pores, the liquid plaster into a silicon mold fashioned, especially for this relief. to make the stucco more durable. she mixes sy, so hemp fibers into it, spreading the paste evenly is hard work. ah, it sets for about 15 minutes before the mold can be lifted off the dried stucco. in

the end, there will be 17 separate stucco panels. each one a work of art in itself, measuring about 3 by 5 meters, about 5 months of work, go into large scale reliefs like this. eva vienna prefers not to reveal what it will sell for, or who will buy it. he says, sell mince on so's thing, the people who commissioned something like this, have a taste for the unusual and a love for detail and build that done some bases. these are one of a kind pieces and the price reflects valiant. the design is made especially for a single client. you and it's not repeated to know. so the kind of person who commissions that wants to invest in a work of art yet in the artist was born in vienna. do costa she wouldn't even think of leaving the area. she's far too intimately connected to it. and it's many stucco treasures such as the

stairwell of this designer hotel. and singleton guiding the fred. it's impossible to be indifferent to what's gone before. buildings like this one have been restored so well that it makes me happy just to see the care that was put into it. there an important inspiration for my own work. so fish he thing eat the my son look at at least for the so to the so some of her clients live right close by the entrance wall of the house belonging to the entrepreneurs, isabella and joseph. his chateau is decorated by a stucco, florida ceiling relief of 2 white dear. he's about a show to remembers her 1st meeting with the artist or even the school you all eva discovered a bit of the tenderness we feel that the family something quite deep, very much her own not eve. these 2 little deer and the vines around them stand for the tenderness we have between us and our 3 children will seek a foam received it,

and the mountain environment shows something of what we have all around us that bo, cookie moves that i like. you can ask him kindness of old, the tradition of a craft dating back centuries, reinterpreted for the present. it's this blend that makes eva vienna's stucco. work so captivating or back here in germany. berlin is gearing up for fashion week. and in light of this, we thought we would take a look at some of the characteristics of typical german fashion. now you might think of later hosen or a durned old, but in fact, there is so much more german fashion designers are making important contributions to the industry with modern looks like with this outfit that i'm wearing today. oh, my british colleague rachel stuart, dared to give us her personal take on germans. and they're interesting fashion choices. ah, what did i think of german fashion?

really put me on the spot here. i don't want to generalize, but okay, here are a couple of things i've noticed. every day is casual friday in germany, a jeans and sneakers convo is acceptable attire only in the park or the supermarket . but also most offices in like labs a favor among men and women is the practical short preferably beijing, an unflattering and absolute classic that screen german data on holiday is the short lived texture. something for the whole family, for sensible sandal furnace 7 points. so keeping his thoughts on studies shows that despite having the highest gdc in europe, germans on particularly big spenders when it comes to fashion. and what they do by tends to favor functionality overflow boys. in the german styles, definitely practical, nice, simple, a bit reserved. it is, nick, we, germans, don't really know how to dress up any more you want and seems on. if we go to the opera wearing genie, that should really be a no go oda, ethan,

or we got for dinner and our genes and how we just don't value fashion. he's a passion is a more doors are which would of sadness. i'd also say it has a lot to do with the 2nd world war head down back then, the idea of discovering yourself or developing your own style was just totally crushed. i would i in room order to and pickin, show him up on my grammar. always says reus, everything over and over until it's completely worn out. and i think you can still see that attitude in the way we dress healthy in 5 young spirit. so the germans are more back clack than clutch back, more high top than high heel. but that's not necessarily a bad thing. sure, the french might be chic, but the germans, a comfortable. the overall trend for practicality and thrift in us also mean that your clothes are less likely to mark you out with belonging to a particular social class. oh, and the transition from day to night is a breeze. some say this hawks all the way back to when most of modern day germany

was part of the kingdom of prussia. the so called percussion virtues include a sense of order, self restraint and pragmatism. in 2007, germany decided it wanted a piece of the international catwalk action and launched the bed and fashion week. the event is known for attracting young designers and tackling issues like sustainability, but can compete with the big guns barragan's because the berlin fashion week really shines when it comes to its focus on sustainability. but apart from that, it's 2nd or 3rd class in the lineup of international fashion weeks. i'm gonna hop, delta dental through non fission weeks for longer. morden is brooklyn. if fashion doesn't make it out onto the streets car, if it doesn't reflect the zeitgeist, the cross, then it's just a piece of article. and that's where german fashion gets stuck with the doors. it hasn't succeeded in being warned on the streets offer presents was on different cities in germany, and 9 for particular fashion ticks. in hamburg, it's a passion for dot blue, everything and bright yellow raincoat, the shaking mikayla in this'll doth prefer the finer things in life. and in munich,

everyone with later holes in every single day. just getting as delightful as that would be for us tourists. it's just not happening. sorry. then we have been in. so you know everything i told you so far about german fashion tendencies. just look at it, berlin, kent, and when it comes to fashion in berlin, anything goes vintage is key to the berlin, the style. what's typical of berlin is a layer to look with a mix of materials and in the annual prints are always the head. and i don't be afraid to mix and match them. you check out the federal action. you can't go wrong with latex in leather, in berlin, but i think i still need to help. nope, not one inspired by lady dye and very berlin, a sporty sweater. yet let's had a berlin techno club. let this last look is perfect for sunday brunch has been i'm melina.

ah and so sure about that last one. all right, and finally, when is chef pepper? lavelle needs ingredients for her restaurants. she just grabs her basket and walks outdoors into nature, while lavelle now lives on the island of man, between the u. k and ireland. so she collects wild herbs berries, seaweed and plants that others might consider weeds. and she creates a menu according to what ever she finds ah, just walking along and just seeing what there is and browsing me. i own that me is my see? oh, my, my name little about,

i'm the shut the restaurant does the on the on demand. and i'm going to show you how far is my ingredients for the restaurants? ah, i mean to be out of man, just a couple of years ago actually came to open a different restaurant and just completely fell in love with the place and the forge and opportunities and just decided, okay, my plans for the future. i'm just going to do them now is the perfect opportunity and i did yeah, lemon is perfect for forages. it's literally a florida heaven. music found cement, ground over. so it was like will got weeds and this is like really have age is kind of possibly play a nuisance with gardeners, though it's like really invasive and intrusive. god knows who is right, get rid of it. and i'll use this in the restaurant in many ways. will make really nice oil for fish. and i'm going to dry load this out and then just use it

with tie go different from available. really like to fly me. it looks kind of on the peak. no, not today with time. and then you hydrate such a bright green doesn't face like see with me i will never leave behind of man. it's of unesco buyers for everything just grows in abundance issues. so by versus just in say, ah, so in regards to ethan vasa, i just wanted to start something that was solely about the ingredients. nature has to offer, i'm not going to use ingredients from here. every life is not available, it's not available. a lake which is public in mike's, and to be honest, it's not much cooking,

gone into it just because efficient branch and that's what we do not wish cooking. just make also with the weekly tank menu. this goes handed, handing to create an, an exciting thing for me and a staff member passed on to the customers to get them excited about the idea. so just to round up tasty menu to see them. we've got some meadows, me cookies, and then we have some storage block current on top and just with a little bit of logo cream. i think it's really important to so from what nature you offer and what is about so that then they respect it and they want to look after it ah, on the big fights as her making each day, enjoyable and making all jobs enjoyable and actually enjoy and being

a chef again with so i really, really think that in the restaurant trade, sustainability should, should be at the heart of everything we do now. because fundamentally, the one thing to me that everybody has in common is that everybody has to eat. and it's something we can all share with. oh wow, what a glorious landscape. and with that we wrap up today show. now don't forget to check out our website with this week's viewers draw and a chance at receiving some d w's uncensored collection items, including the sweatshirt and a bag. well, you can also follow us on social media. well is always it thanks for tuning in, and we will see you again
