and live up to its legendary gas power cousin. read in 60 minutes on d w. mm hm. he's got any issues with thoughts they will grade. he will be able to check with with

fresh wind, my eyes set on the horizon. hardly a person in sight. just my writing instructor, anna, and i amazing. here on the baltic coast horseback riding on the beach is only allowed between october and april. i'm unofficial, i'm does things peninsula one of the most beautiful coastal regions in the state of mecklenburg, western palmer rainy others, long beaches, wild forest and cute little fishing towns. and today we're going to explore all of that together. ah, ah, i'll hunt for amber along the peninsulas northern shore.

i'll check out the former artist colony island school. and try my hand at keeping a centuries old tradition alive. ah ah ah, vishal and dancing is dependent cilla framed by the baltic sea on one side and a salt water lagoon called a button on the other. the button is separated from the sea by the peninsula. there are hardly any waves here. perfect for some smooth sailing windsurfing and swimming . in the summer, it's super busy. but in the colder months the sandy beaches are completely empty. perfect for those who

like me, are looking for tranquillity in nature. in winter, the waves and the wind are slightly more wild, treating ideal conditions for a little treasure hunt every thursday, montes hagaman shows locals and tourists sound to find amber along the shore line. this stretch of coastline is famous for it every month or so. it brought to range of colors to show you on swab i did. this one would probably appeal to everyone transparent, orange, others, all your songs, cons, brother, or yellow cons, prevent naga, but they don't have to be transparent. was some have a milky appearance and comp yellow, milky or orange milky right through to the nice red tines on turn, or whitish and really white,

which you can see the top here on kristen and looking at it. you can believe it's amber, rectifies us your all. but with a white bid at the top it could walk by on the club. one not doesn't bounce on us about us. involve us vices by then. he knew. but if i just showed you that, did you think it was own chewing gum? but no i, that's an but to because so how do you know if it's amber? the most reliable method is the salt water test. i looked up on you put everything you found into a glass and filled with water and heat, or the amber stays at the bottom of the stir in a desert spoon of salt. and anything that's hamburger float and word easy is that i'm from the ivr. amber is not actually is still, but was form from the resin of trees and fossilized over millennia. but no matter how hard i try, i can't find even the tiniest fragments. not my lucky day. that's awesome, that's roughly the size that you find these days and gone. unfortunately,

it's our only find today. what could i have done better will not hide. why should i keep an eye out for seaweed shell as the godaddy i was in brooklyn snake seaweed? preferably not the periodic decisive thing is driftwood don't let those dark wood paces that sink when you throw them back into the sea. this kind of wood has roughly the same density as amber, so there's a good chance that amber will be there to other the soon of us is on that for me too. but i always encourage people to enjoy the walk on the beach and keep their eyes peeled at the same time. and you might find an out of stone or fossil. it's just so good to be out walking on the boat, the coast, and then pick up a little gem while you read it and then you've got the right combination comment of fuel. that's true, then it's a great experience at live while the others keep searching, i hop on a bike to the northernmost part of the peninsula. dasa aunt my trip

takes me through a wild and unspoiled forest in the heart of the western pomeranian lagoon area, a national park. no car is allowed around here. the light house is iconic. it's the oldest of its kind still in use along the baltic sea coast. the 120 steps up to the platform, help me warm up. when the weather is right, you can see all the way to denmark from here. from up here, it's easy to see how the sea is shaping the coast line. the sand that the waves

sweep away down south is carried out here to dasa aunt. over the centuries that dynamic has led to the formation of a headland reaching into the baltic sea and it keeps growing. but while dasa ot gained some 10 meters every year, the peninsula loses land and other parts. tides and storms have left their mark on ovens. hope the coastline is constantly evolving every year, storm tides push the shore line back by a couple of centimeters here at islands. whole heavy machinery is used to protect the local population from coastal erosion and a baltic sea that is creeping dangerously close.

this was the scene here a few weeks ago. around $10000.00 tons of sand were pumped out onto the beach. at ovens, hope a bulldozer was used to spread the sand out evenly creating a new wide beach with a protective sand dune behind it. the operation cost $5000000.00 euros. germany's northeastern coastline is being eroded by an average of $35.00 centimeters a year. darcy's west coast is particularly at risk ravonne full burdens herb, the wind and waves really eat into the coastline. in addition to protecting the houses, we also need to stop the sea water breaking through into the lagoon. so there's a lot of coastal protection work that goes on here. that did whistles has been sandy water was pumped on to the beach along a 4 kilometer stretch of coastline. the workers gradually added pipes to lengthen

the reach. each section is 12 meters long. the work was carried out in shifts and continued around the clock. large stretchers travelled about 12 kilometers out to sea and sucked in the sand from the sea bed. once full, the vessels then moved into a docking position off the coast of athens. hope is a di, did the video, i'm a one seen already these embankments that we're building up a just to channel the water and sand into the right place. so we don't have to move it later if you muzzle the flexible end of the pipe was drawn along the seed bed up to the beach. at the other end, it was linked to the whole of the treasure. the quality of the sand was 1st checked, thorns as their u. s. is perfect, mostly not too many shows a good grain size. we can work well with that under just what you need for coastal protection of the growth themselves. ralph. 2000 cubic meters of sand and water

were then pumped onto the beach. each time it takes a full hour to empty the hall of a dresser like this. as the beach steadily expanded to a width of 40 meters, the workers kept a close eye and the proceedings lie up the under. i need to make sure that the embankments don't give away from other jobs out if it's starting to look on certain only to jump in the truck and press the embankment back into place, or the diagonal one awkward. this time that wasn't necessary. the work was completed by early march as planned. all that's needed now is new beach grass, another guard against erosion the tides are particularly strong at adams, so that's why here the beach feelings have to be repeated periodically.

and when to see my own cold looking around what's been brought here and what's the natural substance that would still be here, even if nothing had been done and it's gotten buddha of jarmetta look on. obviously we are fortunate that the work hasn't long been finished. so it's clear to see that the areas where you can see beach grass growing. what was there before? the rest is the area that was eroded. so from where the grass stops over there. this entire stretch down to the shoreline is where fresh sand has been brought in, creating a new wider beach. obviously it wasn't wood yet, so it's a sounding noise bright of adrenalin. but the extra sand is not enough in itself to keep out and solves coastal bluff intact. wave breakers have been added. they help to prevent erosion with v. how endangered is the bluff currently, momentum does this for you?

under cd varies greatly list i. clips generally are in decline, but we only protect coastal areas that are inhabited seat, as i said, okay, all guns hope is right by the cliffs. that's why we're active here. so we allow other cliffs and coastal areas to recede. as the dynamic of sedimentation takes its course exclusive, that's important to the whole area of gas or bank. there was only created because material was eroded from here. all of the many centrist when i'm washed up there instead of in from without erosion or mecklenburg, western pomeranian wooden habits, beautiful beaches mimic and look for them. sandy beaches that enchanted visitors even over a 100 years ago. at the end of the 19th century, the search for freedom and a more simple life brought many artists to adams hope they felt drawn to the small village by this particular lights and the landscape. and it went on to inspired

them for decades with painter palmilla kemp. was among the 1st artists to settle here. he's considered one of the founders of the adams hope artist colony. but there were many others who fell in love with this place. on mckayla's time hans amy overlander, who go ye could elizabeth from icon and many other artists. they built a creative environment that even during the war offered them refuge to create to paint and to write the islands full art museum is dedicated to the colony. with more than 800 exhibits,

it's the largest collection of works by artists from the region, starting from the founding era, right up till today. polymer compound, mila kemp was one of the most influential artists in the colony. this is one of his very beautiful paintings. what else can you tell me about him? yeah, yes i she is one of the 1st to settle here that she needed laughing. heart and soul hadn't always been a magnet for artists about this entire peninsula, actually. and the island of logan to for lunch have different conflict artists came last night actually from berlin off on monday they were searching and meet for their origin or school to see where they themselves had come from. so i know that for them also on the one hand, they were looking outward to what was happening outside of wind weather vegetation, rural living. and then they were looking inward to alan's. i don't know what's

going on in me, but where's the original in me is in his ask us worship on the hill light and space, nature and solitude. aden's hope was a place of yearning for the artists. ah no, and their legacy is still alive to this day. artists and art aficionados come to the small town. and if you're lucky you might get to watch one of the current artists at work. ah, just and i know donna is famous around these parts. the 85 year old is a graphic artist, a painter and sculpture. he worked as

a sign painter and former communist east germany and came to adam's home often in his youth. in 1992 he moved here for good just like his colleagues from back in the 19th century, he's inspired by the surroundings mm. frenzied us. can you understand that people were fascinated by the atmosphere here? the war facing and fan yardi? yes. you always read that they were inspired by the atmosphere in the fall in springfield, wong o bus, missional girlish. oh, and i'm always inspired to when i see the aud him sky that so unique here on the peninsula. she often dos and of official on the volume building the, the cloud formations are so clear and different every time, all different shapes on both on the la foreman assume uncredited him. you could

just paint the sky the shapes and that would already be a picture. and you definitely feel inspired by looking at it, and that was what moved the artists back then to wield an al. when will i see you don't have so many clouds in your pictures, but how does that unique setting influence you and your craft? what effect does it have on you? your, the, it expresses itself in my paintings of the landscape, or which is under the sky. the door window lead windham, him. it's automatically bathed in a light that you very rarely have anywhere else on it. guns, guns, sold and brought on those hug. hey, now i'm off to the former fishing village people.

back in the 19th century. this place was almost exclusively home to seafarers and their families. that long ceased to be the case, but the towns maritime passed has left a colorful mark in the shape of these doors. i want to check out the shop where these or ne doors have been manufactured for 200 years. if he, me and dick olaf come from a family of wood workers, there great grandfather, design doors and gables for the area. and the 2 brothers are continuing the family tradition. i'm, you know, do the doors have a special symbolism? is it a way to show off what you have and where you've been a t. m. yeah. as old. yes. the doors on just for decoration, they need to protect the house,

letting in the good and keeping out evil. the thing is all there is symbols like scaly patterns designed to look like alma give you. the idea was to stop evil crossing the threshold of the house. come, there are bunches of tulips that you see on many old dogs. they're seen as a symbol for the tree of life or food. even then, or nearly all the doors, you have the sun, often as a semicircle, which is a rising sun, seen as something positive. so you have these age old, some odd superstitious symbols that a woven into the designs in order to embed stick to the i think you how has this symbolism evolves into people still seek out the name, ornaments, or do they want other motif has the superstition of all our global flight of stairs led lights to, oh, it's like says we still produce the symbols and there's one against lightning strikes. that's very popular. it clearly works as we've had no complaints to become important. whether that's true, right?

if they bound you have a problem, but there are also new motifs linked to the coast and to dogs. because we often paint cranes, for example, a popular local bird of all wind swept trees. are they on traditional? but they have their own symbolism because it consciously of grains are linked to good luck. so it fits with the traditional does come on with them at an author advice line, do i know you usually don't let amateurs touch your work, but could i try it out? maybe on a bit of bare wouldn't be i'm not. yes, we've started a few cranes, we can give it a go. all right, let's do it. as we get him, i'll give it a try. as more pressure here, they all can. all that's right. rest your left hand on the surface and move to the side to recommend having a big breakfast before doing this. hello. this is mark

with the carpenters even sales souvenirs with a lovely selection of miniature doris. thanks a little piece of doris tradition for my home and really ah, to wrap up my visit, i want to explore the eastern tip of the peninsula and the area of club aunt. i'm joined by former ranger, freedom and bots. we dive deep into the western pomeranian lagoon area. national park here where the baltic meets the lagoon waters. the untouched nature shows it's most serene and peaceful.

ah . right before reaching plant ot we climb hor due now the high do. a very sensitive biotech and off limits to hikers and explorers because of his int he old. so nicole, this is the palm. oh hi june. i one of the highlights here in the national park morris device. it's the largest white june field on the german baltic sea coast. and it's an unparalleled gem, impressive and fascinating behind the june's in the background are up to 13 meters tall. beautiful. i seen the band, the sea, with the waves deep blows with a one of hind landscape wellness and then blogs have isaac artist

i right now things are quiet, but a couple of months ago. it was a lot more crowded here. this national park is home to one of the biggest resting spots for cranes in all of central europe on their way down. south. thousands of migrating birds come here and offer an amazing spectacle. literally, in passing up to $50000.00 cranes, gather at palm ot in the east of the peninsula during the month of october and

november, they come from scandinavia and the baltic and stop here to feed and build up energy reserves for the long flight south. the national park off as ideal conditions in the shallow waters of the lagoon and surrounding marshland. the cranes find both protection and food. wetlands like these are vital for the cranes but are becoming ever more rare in central europe. they also need them to nest and re they young the cranes build their nests in whitland areas. the shallow waters and marsh land here offer them protection from predators like wild boar and foxes. conservationists keep an eye on the birds. they put rings equipped with gps on the

young ones. this tells them a lot about the birds, migratory roots and nesting places, allowing them to protect the cranes more effectively. the nesting and resting place is largely off limits to visitors from september to early november. it can only be accessed with a national park card. this is to ensure the birds are disturbed. but she can book a boat tour and observe the cranes from further away boats go both from the towns of plato and born with my day on the peninsula is coming to an end too soon. when 2 waves and white sands, the fish land does things, peninsula is
