go up, put the pedal at a metal. let's ride a read. in 60 minutes on d, w, please places in europe or smashing all the records into a ball venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover. some of you will record breaking sites on your back too. and now also in book form with hi there, i'm how do well and once again, i want her with my little green electric beetle. this time i'm exploring the state of brandenburg just outside of berlin. i'll be visiting pot done to check out fantasy palace and spray about for some magnificent nature.

and my colleague lucas steger will be exploring some loss places for you as well. with a sense of the palace and pot staff is thought to be one of the most beautiful palaces in the whole of europe. so i can't wait to check it out. ah ah, it's time to leave your worries behind and step into the care free realm of nature, art philosophy because that's exactly what this precious palace was built mar. mm. welcome to the sun. so see

to see was built in the mid 18th century by depression, king free trade. the 2nd also called frederick the great. it was his summer palace, his prussian birth side. here, frederick wanted to pursue his hobbies undisturbed, and escaped. the pomp and ceremony of the royal court sang to see is french and literally translates into without concerns or without worries. so that's exactly what my motto today is going to be quick to, to make your day as carefree as king critic would have wanted it to be. pick your ticket for the pilot in advance online to avoid the long to the entry into the gardens is free and that's where i am starting. my term fantasy is so much more than the palace itself. the park is made up of over 300 heck chairs of

beautiful terraces, vineyards and once in 1990. both the gardens and the palace itself were added to the next world heritage lin. this magnificent fountain in the future there was also copied from her side. it's decorated with sculptures of roman gods, and venus is particularly special. she was actually gifted by the van owner of versailles, the french king louis the 15th. this one now is the copy be original, is that berlin's border museum? let's go. and since we're filming, we get the whole place to ourselves. and i even get a private tour. i want to learn more about the famous prussian king and the splendid home he built here. so be a good morgan for what has kindly agreed to show me around. fair, who was king, frederic the 2nd into british vine for frederick was oppression. king or queen? actually the prussian king. he was the one who led the oppressions into lots of wars of conquest. he loved his people and his country prussia. i leaped hard on

bout him. why did you choose this location to build census about hilton, it's on a small hill and he had his burial place, his tomb prepared on this hill early on in his reign. and at some point he thought, what a beautiful hill it would be, a pity to just be buried yet. so he had a palace built right at the top and he said, it's just for me. it's my dream palace, my songs to see. i want to be here without any worries. mine salsa seems worthy of . i'm only sorry. ah, continue. as you can see into the library through the window. he puked visitors aren't allowed into what king frederick consider to be his holy room. but you can still see the beauty of the wood panels domed library by picking through the window

. and this is where the canyon lived and worked. writing poetry and philosophical texts, he rarely slept more than 4 hours a night. such was the prussian way. this is that the arm chaff, frederick the great di didn't, it's actually the original on was king for it was also buried here and i'm going to visit his grave and i brought a rather unusual souvenir to place on top of it. and it seems, i'm not the only one. so why are people laying potatoes on the king's grave? well before king friedrich potatoes weren't really eaten in germany, actually they were more use just for decoration that came for the past in order to increase potato crops in the country, following bad harvests and subsequent famines. according to legend, he tricks local farmers into plunging more of the so called apple of the earth by posting soldiers around the potato fields to protect them. it worked highly valued

goods, taste even better. so here we are a token for the potato, okay. ah census, the palace is definitely the main event, but there is another much bigger palace by me that we're going to go look at. no. because king friedrich needed more than what then you palace was built at the end of the precious 7 years war. in the $760.00 king free drink thought to demonstrate the power and glories of prussia and wanted to show off the strings of its finances . he himself rarely stayed in the castle. it was mainly forget let go check been you palace has around

300 room all dec type an excessive splendor of marble, stone and gills. can you believe the whole palace only took 6 years to build? to main post city hall or marble room extends over 2 floors, the fresco and ceiling. here is one of the largest in europe. ah, another must be room in the garage to halt this $600.00 tons structure is encrusted with over $24000.00 shells and semi precious stones, me hang free, trade would perform context for his guests. here he was a passionate flute player and composed 120 flutes sonata. mm. so obviously from the piano, we can see that this was a real music room. but if you carefully their instruments embedded into the ceiling that used to be real instruments. and they're now gilded in real gold. all of the

3600 bricks and the library are written in french. since that was the language frederick preferred over chairman. he often had the same set to fix in all of his several castle so that wherever he was he had access to all of them in i could spend hours walking around if you to, for guidance here, especially in the golden evening light. i use my beetle and i are taking a little break from driving so that my colleague look steak. i can take a look around you be exploring some of random bark, so called last place. ah, ah, and oh,

military barracks in eastern germany. places like this are dark, but fast at 80. right now i am 18 meters underground. there is only concrete around me. it's a little spooky here. it's a so called last place in brand the vert, close to berlin, but let's start above ground, reinstall. 20 kilometers south of berlin, until shortly after the fall of the wall, this was the barracks of a former soviet army. since its departure in 1900 for the area has been neglected. here i meet around 30 amateur photographers looking for special subjects. after a short briefing, everyone can go off on their own. photo tours such as this are regularly offered by our berlin operator and to pursue you having to follow certain rules such as where

you can and can't go. we create barriers unsecure. the location beforehand to give a floor might collapse. we don't go in there, i don't. and then we block it off. how much mol cutten? it doesn't look so bad on the photos. you just have to stick to. that was one that i've gotten hiding in front of the main building stands, a monument to lennon, the leader of the october revolution in russia. in 1917. it is set to be the last one left in germany. i'm now inside the main building, the so called officers house and i'm obviously all alone here. right now. it smelt musty decades old dust tanks in the air. ah, on the upper floor, i discover the remains of a radio studio. i wonder what was recorded here in the past.

ah, i venture further up into the attic. i feel a little queasy up here, but i'm reward it. well. i can't believe it is an old newspaper. it's from ah 1986. this newspaper is older than me. ah, payton for bolton? no trespassing. well, as a participant of the tour, of course i'm allowed in june stove was already a military area in the 19th century. in 1910, an imperial military training area was built for the van german empire. later under hitler, the high command of the german army had its headquarters here. from 1953 to 1994

green stove was a garrison town for the so called group of soviet armed forces. germany, up to 75000 military personnel lived here with their families. there were schools, kindergarten shops, as well as sports and cultural facilities. you have to imagine this used to be a theater. there was a lot going on here and now it's just silence. mm hm. finally, we visit the outdoor pool almost 30 years of stance. still. they have cast a strange spell over the sight. ah. also viewed, store about 2 kilometers away. i joined another tour. the

roots of tripling was the central intelligence bunker of the german army high command. let's take a closer look. done midland, sensitively, please. we don't want to hear it bang. o we go down 3 floors, a total of 18 meters underground. the bunker has a constant temperature of 10 degrees celsius. it was the heart of military communications during world war 2. later, the soviet army used it for its own communications.

in 1939, only 2 years after it was built, the bunker went into operation equipped with the latest technology of the time. last, what was it? you must think of it like this. it was loud and yet it clicked. it clacked. there was an incredible amount of technology in here. this is also where all the remote weddings took place up. at the end of the war, soldiers no longer had leave forgotten. the soldiers sat in the field and the connection was made from that the registry office where the bride was. this was how people said yesterday, each other. the registrar documented it and then they were married. if the woman was pregnant and she received a small morbid gift or a mini steel helmet, just think many stud mm. that was pretty impressive. and now there's another lost place waiting for me also here . and brandenburg, let's go. ah

ah, well come to the billet sanatorium the full, the senatorial and bill, it's used to be born of the largest hospital complexes in the berlin area. up to 1200 patients could be admitted. most of them suffering from tuberculosis. opened in 19 o 2. this was a military hospital during world war one and world war 2, then a military hospital for the soviet army. ah, a treat shop path 700 meters long and up to 23 meters high. now leads through part of the site. ah, ah,

take a look at that. there are trees on top of the building. you could say nature is taking back the building this is the building i'm about to enter. it is the so called i had been house, had burned down at the end of world war 2, and has stood empty and and ruins ever since. the house is inspired artists and served as a set for films. the

oven house had room for around $270.00 pages. some of the relics illustrate the function of the rooms at that time such as the state table in the form, a dining room. a lot has changed already, but they're still around the lost places and brandon burke, the question is for how much longer? so i recommend you to visit them as soon as possible before there is nothing more to see of this exciting and spooky path ah, whether in photographs or in my memory, the impressions i take away from these last places will stay with me for a long time. ah,
