building in central germany is to become a meeting with an old church in a new role in 45 d w. as you go to use this with all civil grading with ah, ah, join us on board one of the most beautiful trained journeys in europe. and find out

what the trip along the river right has to offer in just a moment. and with that, a warm welcome to today's edition of your max with me, your host, hannah, him up. here's what else we've got coming up for you today. head to the amount because to try to connect to a sauce made some entities and designer brody new pates old wood to make his fantastic and check but 1st we're off to the river, right. i traveled to germany's main white region where a humble regional train travels through one of the most beautiful stretches in the country. along the route, there is a wild abundance of old german castles, natural wonders, myths and legends if that sounds like you're by ben hop on board. but be warned in true german fairytale fashion. some of the stories are pretty gruesome. hey guys,

welcome back to day. i'm taking you on one of germany's most beautiful train journeys this regional train in the state of rhineland prolactin. it stretches along the river riding, riding past old german castle as vineyards and impressive rock formations. our journey starts in the western city of cologne and takes us all the way to the medieval city of mines, germany's wine capital. all right, let's go catch our train. very important 10 you should sit on the left hand side of the train so that you get all the best views of the river. right. the rain is a life lane and an important transport route through europe on its way to the north sea. it flows through 6 countries, tourists from all over the world, come to this part of the rain to explore the fairy tale castles and villages. here

. our 1st stop a st. gore to see the low calais. this massive rock is associated with an old german legend which was a more challenged by german poet henry hina, making it globally famous. it's also symbolic of the so called rain romanticism, which honors the landscape and culture of this area. i'm heading to a restaurant which overlooks the law ally to find out more story lorelei. she was a maiden and she was sitting on the top of the lawn. i rock like to see here the ship to ship a men and this time to coming by here and there looking up to her and there were many, many, a big rocks in the river and then suddenly de crushed into and the ship sank. but the legend is because in this point, this almost a deepest and most soonest point on the whole rhine river. and in this point here,

there was many, many accidents in the past. my next stop is just 20 minutes, awake, bang it. i went to see the famous moiz, the 2 m here. legend has it that a cruel ruler, hatchet, the 2nd oppressed and exploited his peasants. they grew angry, but before they could, rebell has devised a cruel trick. he promised to feed all the hungry people and told them to go to an empty barn. but then he locked the doors, set the barn on fire, and burned them all alive, shouting, hear the mice squeaking. when he returned to his castle, it was immediately besieged by an army of mice. they crossed the river, reached the island, 8 through the towers doors, and then ate the cruel ruler alive back on board for the final stretch

of the trail. i can't believe how much there is to see here in such a short no journey. definitely the most beautiful stretch that i've seen in germany . wouldn't you agree? finally, we've arrived in my mind since about an hour outside to frankfort. and it's one of germany's oldest tongue. it has a beautiful old time, full of old, half timbered houses. but the main landmark here is the mines cathedral. this marvelous work of architecture from the middle ages was built over a 1000 years ago. but it is perhaps most famous for its wine. this local wine bar is run by bass. then guy isn't a wine professional from the netherlands. why is this region actually so famous for wine? we're in the middle of 2 very important, the growing areas and a lot of going on over a lot of like new young wine makers. every one brings wong from young to all people

. you have all those wine festivals. a lot of like white bars. we're not the only one bar here, my eyes and you have to memorize. ah, a nice the line is just the perfect ending. my trick along the right. i hope you had as much fun on the journey as i did. not. architecture is much more than just a roof over your head. exceptional buildings often become landmarks, but is architecture automatically good just because it's i catching or doesn't building also work when you don't notice it. is there an objective criteria for good architecture? we met up with the editor of the arch daily guide to good architecture to leon david. best way to who has some answers to these questions? oh, yeah. and crystal buildings are everywhere. there are some weird the wonderful to i touching,

simply breathtaking but what really makes good architecture. berlin boost architect davida muscle is the founder of our daily, the world's most successful architecture platform. the recently published aren't really guides are good architecture. so for criteria that good architecture should meet with architect or should be received troops with stun this a really key at the work that we're leaving. well, at the same time, b and glossy argued victor is not just for day a, in a way for to fulfill the ego of someone just doing a building. it should serve every rally who is surrounded, who will use it. so he chose a be inclusive or the same time. i think that we, they said that architecture has to be beautiful. this is the james seam, on gallery, on berlin's museum island, designed by british architect david copperfield, opened in 2019. it compliments the historic buildings around it and serves as

a common entrance to the existing museums go that connect to the durable decide building that respects many of the existing types of architecture of these accumulation throughout more than a 100 years has to with set them proportions with sector medea's and well to they, it looks chinese like new, in a few more decades. it will blenny, when you get this patty nothings to them. i did as it is using i lead will low just as any or that part of micio means that house decks in berlin by architecture from sour brook hutton. it's unusual facade mirrors, the surroundings, creating a harmony with the neighboring buildings, and not only in terms of form, will that connect to these cliffs stick. executive architect one lucas young, shows us the special features of the residential building. the balcony serv also as

entrances to the apartments. the large open plan rooms have few supports and the window brands can be open completely. there are no interior walls here either. this makes the floor plan extremely flexible. is something i like in the book because eh, these building can pass too many innovations. people cannot up that effort. feature different uses allen. so in a ways made he smart in the use of energy be, this is wondering why year big malisha on this parking garage in denmark capital. copenhagen isn't just for cars. the roof also serves as a playground, a place for recreation. will that connect to east confederate to maggie center and the british town leads is another good example of this is a rehabilitation clinic for cancer patients. a building designed to help people get better. they building crew are very smart to use of medea's a thinking,

a band that to a fair structural engineer. great something that looks like a tree. and people inside it could feel like they added in a forest in a gardening close to nature that were chill. we'll have our protective and nurturing effect on there will be but interesting buildings don't always have to be built from scratch. here an old wind shipping facility and grease was converted into a hotel. oh, well that connector is resourceful. the newly restored no, you're not. you're now gallery and berlin follows as principal to glued vietnamese funder horrors. aging 19 sixty's architectural icon has been gently modernized, may relate this phrase by an american architect that he says that the most sustainable building is a building that already exists. so this is a very important trend in our cities to recognize which buildings hubbub value and

that we need to perhaps with a little more energy, give them a sick, long life. and not just to use them now over the next decade. but for the long term future. occasionally, architecture ventures into completely new domains like this underwater restaurant by architecture. firm snatter in norway, a sub marine masterpiece with architecture is not at a different take this bridge. and the netherlands doesn't arch over the water, but rather cuts right through it. and this house in italy was made by a 3 d printer. disco shows that he's not it just something completely artificial, but that we will also do it with earth. so in a way, we would think this through the print that houses are global you from earth. so we can put together technology with a video issue, technique of construction. whether a building is considered beautiful is certainly

a matter of taste. but when it comes to quality w, but social says, this can be assessed objectively. and cheese or a food that divides opinion. you love him, or you hate them, but they can be used in some amazing ways in a small village on the amount because in italy, the salty little fish are used to make a fish sauce called colette to read the alley cheap. it dates all the way back to ancient roman times. now the smell is starting to get a little bit overpowering here in the studio. but trust me, it's nothing compared to the stench that best fish sauce producer deals with roman's i o. d. okay, let me know, i always say either you love color or or you hate it. there's no one between either you eat it or you don't really know. the little town of shatara lies on southern

italy's amal fee coast, not far from naples. here fishing is a tradition thousands of years old. there is plenty of evidence that the fish sauce dates back to ancient times when the romans called it got them bombay alo, july, around flora in pay. they found an am for that still had traces of gorham. the grandmother was that's how they were able to determine how they made it back. then he still called if i should go. oh christy, be the using many different kinds of fish and even added herbs while they are. so we have an idea of what it was like going to find a video to go away to make today's collateral idea. lee chee julio giordano uses only one kind of fish, anchovies fisherman, domenico giordano catches them at night off shatara using a lamp. the am toby's our best in may and june. alicia dijani's, lovely anchovies from shatara, our medium sized,

strong boned and the shimmer beautifully as okay, so i the janitor, very salty with an intensive taste on. gold will stop you and they're good for preserving them. you'll is the ones that went away, and on to the preparation call, i told i d a lead. she may consist only of salt and fish, but it takes all of 3 years to age. julio giordano decapitate and cuts the anchovies. so the final taste will be more elegant, but the smell in the storage room is still virtually unbearable. nearly full day saturday and my grandson is 6 years old because he won't come in here because it stinks so badly when the weather and when i come home and i've still got the smell on me a quandary. anthro, cause my neighbor always says my come home, you know, take a shower before we do anything together. if you my daughter, the stench as a really intense abode at most of most fish sauce of this kind found in stores the world over is made industrially. but julio giordano still does everything by hand.

a barrel containing 25 kilograms of fish will only yield about 3 leaders of solace in total. rejected gas. somewhat from how in heaven's am i supposed to eat this rotten fish line jack, but i don't see it that way. the fish gives all its goodness to the sauce upward. sodium one more thick layer of salt any seals the barrel and weighs down the lid. so the anchovies inside are compressed. the 3 year fermentation process in these chestnut wood barrels is necessary to achieve this special fish sauce. and when the big moment finally arrives, the barrel is tapped. very slowly, the finished salis drips out. this process takes a whole week. i want to pay me a co mass, had jones marie. it's as if i were tasting something very precious. it is peculiar,

somehow more but good on by day born, paula told her dearly she has left its mark everywhere in the streets of shatara. every restaurant serves it generally with spaghetti shafts that follow. cavaliere uses it every day. the sauce can be added as a condiment to nearly any dish, almost like salt. add the fish little side a level of wood up because not that easy to measure out. the fish sauce thought of law. but can you know what a good feeling for in my little sister, you have to have tried it many times because the flavors fool it at the same time, very intense. if you don't wanna set, it's too little. you can always add more, but if you had too much, you get to be too strong and salty. ethanol port that group with auto fish sauce on spaghetti. a visit to shatara is incomplete until you taste a flavor that has been served here since ancient roman times.

you can find even more videos on colony delights and recipes from all over europe on our youtube channel d w. fit. now we're off to london to meet designer brody neil. for him. sustainability is crucial. his design creations are made of wit and he believes that there is already so much word in circulation that there is no longer any need to found more trees. he simply uses wood already in existence and up cycles for his work, and he showed us exactly how he does it. a table fashioned from layers of veneer a sculpture made of wood off cuts or a bench out of old park. a flooring london based designer brody neal breathes new life into old wood. so my design

language is very organic and starts with the material. it's deeply rooted with the traditional techniques merge with the state of the art technology that kind of work hand in hand, in creating new possibilities for reclaim materials. brody niels originally from australia, he's been living and working in london since 2005. this studio is where the magic happens. discarded wood is transformed into extraordinary furniture, chairs, benches, and tables. flaring. there is so much would, that is already out there in circulation. it has been harvested and processed years ago. that has so much potential that we should really leave the trees where they are to do the very important thing that they're doing in the ground. and turn our attention to the woods that are already in circulation, and use these woods to repurpose them. the things we need today

brody neil and his team are currently working on a table from the recoil series. the oval table top is made from 3 kilometers of veneer strips, wound tightly around each other like a school. and the stunning striped grain is created by the different types of wood which are combined in a highly unusual way. so the array of the table is determined by an algorithm which am steps out randomly at which species goes where and, and the lengths of those paces so that you get a really random am spectrum, an array of veneers. brody neil gets his wood from a range of sources including this timber company in north london. the designer sees value in every discarded off cut and rescues it before it's processed in the briquettes or winds up in the trash. but i'm more interested in the natural kind of

pigmentation of the wood rather than the artificial colors. so really looking for a spectrum of colors that putting a dark next to a y, a light color to really kind of get those 3 colors to kind of kick brody neil's love of nature stems from his tasmanian homeland. the island and southeastern australia is famous for its unspoiled natural beauty, and some of the designers, raw materials are actually sourced there. including 2000 year old trees, salvaged from a flooded forest. the wet rotting wood was releasing gases harmful to the environment. the 1st table from the recoil series was made in 2021 from veneered strips of the dried out wood. even in the heart of london, brody neal likes to get close to nature, creating an ecosystem with

a natural equilibrium and making full use of resources in a sustainable fashion is what drives him. it would be a dream to realize a true circular economy where no material is lost outside the closed loop, where every precious resource finds its way back into a design that is fit for purpose. creating something new from something old brody neil turns trash into treasure. at this time of year, a trip to the mountains is the best thing to beat those winter blues. i love going skiing, but after watching this next piece, i think i'm going to have to try something new. she yearning the scandinavian winter sport involves being pulled through the snow by horses. it used to be a genuine mode of transport back in the day and in france, some busiest are reviving this old tradition. so this is ski during

sports and to have originated in scandinavia with reindeer or dogs, it was made popular using horses in the early 20th century. but in france it was largely forgotten until jack fin the antlers re introduced it there about 30 years ago. almost you thought i'm still passionate about it, but because we're always out in nature, always in an element that is constantly changing because the snow is you never the same and it can be hard or soft or like powder. it could be the snow of spring time, cause it's always a different experience. the cell jack offer ski during in the french alps near the resort of lays arc, he saw reviving the sport here as a way of combining 2 passions. look up at the motor scheduling effect. he didn't fit. i got into silly, jarring because i was working for 10 years on ski patrols that monitor the trails and avalanches and take care of those who were hurt the. the last 2 classic you, he did a piece don't that i lead. at the same time i had an equestrian center and my horses

had nothing to keep them busy during the winter, knowing the cd. so i said i needed to find a way to combine 2 things. i love a full i disco, jen, skiing, be store, and horses. l shola. ski during does require some skill. participants don't have to have much knowledge of course writing because the animals respond to basic commands through the reins. but writers do have to have a certain level of skiing experience. as long as they can ski, people of all ages can take part or fail. gosh, earn laughter and watch the horse. they will watch the horse. they will be able to watch the horses. yeah, that's very good. perfect. yeah, very good thought fe. tab in an illusion. horse here on the left, in a norwegian fjords are among the 3 nurses jack has specially trained for ski join.

he wanted to re launched the sport in france after seeing an old postcard with skiers being pulled by horses. but he had to start from scratch. oh, it must eugene while you folk. i told myself it was necessary to find a way to ski behind horses hill. i don't you think i did the research and couldn't find anything medallion, no equipment existed with such and that's how i started to develop my own equipment and lataya. the result of that was this special harness, which is mountain on the horse, and designed to minimize pressure on the animal go. he'll feel like your when i'm driving. okay, we don't touch the horse's mouth. that only happens when i want to give a man what blood right to go right or left to go laugh wash or pull both handles back to break. you val are yeah for clean it. the cameras part of the harness protects the driver from the flying snow. the rains controlled by the handles, stay supple.

cornish traders cajoling. the thing about this board that motivates me is the feeling of freedom all the time, all in your shoe. it's really a grand feeling of freedom or a sense that the horse isn't imprison. oh, please not constrained. yup, but cold can't go. you are letting it follow its natural behavior and you become one with him as you glide behind him. oh grease. that's something you only experience when ski during all scheduled for. thanks to jack and his horses, tourists have yet another way to enjoy the great outdoors in france. ah, i'm afraid that's all we've got time for today. be sure to check out our website for this week's viewers draw and a chance at receiving some items from our d. w. unscented collection. with instructions on how to access blocked media from around the world, from the team here in berlin. thanks for watching and take care with
