ah ah ah ah, one square kilometer of red rock in the middle of the north sea. this is hello galant . germany's only hi cease island. enjoying nature, letting the wind blow all around you and relaxing. that's what many people who come here want me to the journey from hamburg to helical and takes 3 and a half hours. a catamaran takes me there. no other boat is faster

for you probably already on arrival, the holiday mood kicks in. all the passengers initially half the same route. everybody passes the colorful lumps the huts and walks along the promenade somewhere. here is my hotel most of the truth to arrive here. go back in the afternoon. there are more or less $3000.00 visitors here every day. but i would like to stay overnight, so i have more time and no stress to discover this small island. a must on helical land is a visit to the seals. if you like it loud, you're in for the punk festival. whoo bhutto fox. and

there is another holiday video of the week. this time it's from australia. ah, my 1st walk takes me into the country side all the way up to the over lugs a route along the edge of the rock that forms helical and leaps around the island. the cliffs path water, water, as far as the i can see, the mainland is 50 kilometers away. i passed the langer anna, that tall anna. this free standing rock is the landmark of helical land. every one hopes that it can withstand the wind and the waves for a long time. and i continued to germany, smallest nature reserve the lumen fez and the rock of the gilam us. it is the

nesting ground of many see birds, but it is named after the gillmet in june. these small feather, bolts, take, wing, amateur photographers wait for them to take their courageous plunge. they are not many places in europe where you can get so close to wildlife bird watching isn't the only thing you can do here over there is the do not and off shore island and even smaller than hellig over and germany's largest greasy column. he lives over there and you can join a guided tour to get really close to those animals. some animals have got it figured out. they lie on the beach all day, basking in the sun and cool off now and then when a quick dip in the sea and life and helical, and is generally tranquil and unhurried. that do not island ranger makes sure it

stays that way. where not jonnesho, sr, come mindful, more and more guests to see hillock or land and one to benefit from the high seas air that more and more animals are coming as well done. and the dealer ranges are here to make sure we can all live together and get along. all right. people can ask me questions and enjoy the beach in harmony. i've got to read a tilly's area. responsibility is just 7 tenths of a square kilometer. the island of dune and a couple of dunes is about all it is in whom land dino range. is there any found here because this island is called dina and i medina, ranger random once a week, halligan's visitors have an opportunity to tag along with the ranger unexplored juna island on an organized nature. to read the muffin, if you find something and think it looks exciting, pick it up and take it along. we'll have a look and i'm sure we can figure out what it is said to them. often both of is

somewhat rare and not easy to find is the red flint thought us and mother i becomes than 3 variations, but it's always some shade of red. 5 or not ross colored and not orange, as you can find it in yellow and several variations of that. but the red flint is what's unique to hillock or land ah, for most of the visitors here, the true stars of the island or the seals. whatever happened over the birthing season begins around november and almost as soon as the females given birth, she's able to mate again, the longer also name. so 2 weeks later, the 1st bulls are back trying to get at her again won't. i'm not as cute and harmless as the seals may look, they're not necessarily cuddly. all the gray seal is germany's biggest predator and it can move a 20 kilometers per hour as being mom. so it's not a good idea to get too close to them. and even if nothing's happened so far,

the possibilities always there. i can't read their minds even come flying. but she can count the animals. monitoring that population is one of her routine tasks along with showing visitors around can't you see this on the sand and surf fit for man and beast the like? oh, although this island is very small, it has an incredibly eventful history. and you can learn more about it in the hellig olette museum yoke and blaze is the boss. here. he tells me that this island used to be a pirate's nest, a navy fort, and a trading post. in the early 18th century, it was just as important as the international port of hamburg is to date, helical,

and was once part of denmark than of great britain. it was not until $1890.00 that the island became german, a fiercely contested piece of ground. when was the most dramatic moment in the history of the island, the indian i had at a modest the most dramatic moment was definitely the end of world war 2, the great bombardments and young as an immense, everybody had to be evacuated into and then came the big bang, in april 1947 resulted in the complete destruction of the islands. buildings that had the british occupying forces once tried to destroy all the islands military facilities with 6.7, killer tons of explosives. never again, should it be used for military purposes for many years. hello galant remained uninhabitable. busy a few in fulton county before 1954, the population began returning to the island, and tourism immediately started appear again of our money off that 1st they slept intense. undo because there was no place at all to stay here on the island. there

were no houses or anything. so they stayed in little tents, undo in stunt sold, whatever they needed, call we could pass true and by little souvenirs and people came and rose to see helical. and again, if he had seen soon tourist came in massis. not because of the beautiful nature, but to buy duty free liquor and cigarettes and anointing long. doyle would be an how did the island and your this or i just imagine 10 or 12000 visitors here on this really small island, a small fortune. it was terrible, it must be said, there was no room between all the people which is headed past the shops and through here shoulder to shoulder and florida, where he thought he might see something nice and one of the shops b didn't stand the chance of getting to it, to buy it, who just pushed on ahead by the crowds until you ended up back of the ship and at the sail home again upon me and how come prices are so cheap on elegant i at us. and we believe that's a privilege we had from her time with britain,

and it's been preserved through all the changes and rule on just it was taken on in the tracy's. and so we've always had her duty and tax we status here. now it still exists, but to day the tourists come here for the nature almost as it used to be when helical and became a seaside resort in the early 19th century. at 1st, people came here for the good air. it was the beginning of helena, lance tourism this island is so small, you can easily walk around it, and it just takes one or 2 hours helical and is pretty popular with tourists. and we will show you why lou henley's land starts getting crowded every day around noon. you can almost set your watch by us. that's when the excursion ships arrive from the north sea coast and hand bag. the visitors

a fairy to land from the ship's in jolly boat's known locally as built boats in 2018. they were listed with unesco, intangible, world heritage. it's after known as humans from when the seaside result was founded here in 1827. we didn't have any harbor, no break waters or peers. we had nothing at all nights and i just when the 1st passengers ship arrived a year later, they had to drop anchor somewhere. and our fishermen and pilots went out in our fishing boats and brought the guests for the 1st time over to land in there, bought a boat smooth and he got 2 of my brother. go come on my land, give them eventually the harbor was built and ferrying passengers was no longer necessary. soon after the ships put in the pedestrian malls, philip visitors still come to shop duty free. oh, they generally have 4 hours before their ship sales. again. the tours are time so that the day trip is can go along to the bunker to it,

brings them some 25 meters deep inside the red cliffs. this is where the heli galandes sought shelter from the bombings. it's the only remainder of a once vast bunker complex running through out hello good. and what is the time to be at the park? we're in now came through all the bombings in and after the war on damaged the last . bombs fell in february 1952. so it's important to us shuttles. many helical anders, especially the older ones, older lives to whitland out in the car. the i'd been from id number to leave. the lobster hats are typical of helical land. that few people know they were built here in the 19 fifties and sixties as part of a plant city. as i let her 1st, of course the cliff was here and a huge bunker. the english blew up in 1947, then bid the english as the more fits that led to the formation of the lines now called the midland hunt us midland. and duncan, or,

and the lobster hot saw now essentially a retaining wall for the loose rock offered us out. we look at the english dime. an architect competition was announced for the reconstruction. 1951 over a 1000 architects to part their task was to find the optimum use of the limited space while orienting the houses favorably to the sun and wind. every detail was thought up down to the paint. it was limited to 14 callous to day heyliger land is i can open a museum of the 19 fifties and sixties building style. almost every house is listed as historical a closer look at hellig land quickly reveals that it's full of fascinating stories and worth the longest stay or even a return visit. ah,

i want to do that to get on the boat and go around the island. it takes 45 minutes. the excursion boats only put out if the waves are no higher than 2 meters. oh, thank goodness ah . in the slipstream of the island it is still peaceful. but as soon as we clear the tip of the island, the rocking starts almost to meet her waits. all you need now is a strong stomach and occasionally something to hold on to nobody get seasick. we all have our sea legs.

water, when and weight. that's what our weekly v mail is about as well. our viewer johan is from singapore, loves traveling just like me. he's been to the other side of the world to australia and heres his holiday video. ah, ah ah ah

ah, ah ah ah. ah, ah ah . almost 1500 people live on the

elegant and the sea is part of almost every one's lives. most of them have ancestors who were sailors or fishermen, maybe even pirates. oh, see shanties and sailors, songs are part of the cultural heritage. oh, i'm here for a rehearsal of the head with in the cock st, and shanty choir. hello, good, a song you just thank you, was that a regular sailor song or a shanty? judith? what i did know that was actually our theme song. it has nothing to do with either the can and it was in hollander, the fusion dialect and her and it just means the cock thing, canal. great guys. no more than that. you're told the girl is in reminding me that there are shanties in sailor's songs. what's the difference he does? he must be dead. the sailor songs are simply romantic songs. they used to sing out, but the shanties were the work songs for the seamen of earlier time was agreeable. it was hard work on the shapes of a dog, one of them a call, the tune,

and the jobs and the choir would answer and do the work. the lead singer never had to work, and it's just the same with us was i'm was doing monique, our widened doses bonds, gonzalgo whose lead singer forcing her to day deleting his home. he sings the song of home often. can i sing a shanty like that voice your brochure? we can do that in google. like i said, the lead singer hoff. he'll sing the beginning when we jump in, when you can just sing along the thing, the thing doesn't matter. i've got like, so i go mad. i'm ah, a oh no. bell? no. vin murphy. oh, a long. oh i

oh, nice lake names. i mean good. oh i a so oh, that was really good job. middle doesn't go. so really want to join the cock finn, have to meet 3 conditions. be a man, live on how legal and, and be able to sing. they have strict rules,

but they are friendly guys. i every spring because you have an important job. they open the punk festival organ, who boots are thought hero helical, and with their shanties, 3 days in a row of bands from all over europe gather here on the island. oh, opens the festival here on healey. go land, ladies and gentlemen, the car thinkin. 8 0 mm. with our of see shanties. everyone's had amenities before and likes to sing them over a beer, shanties and pung, actually go together him. mm. the storm battered seagulls face an invasion of odd buds. we can guess who flocked to dina island for the rock and roll, but

a thought which means something like booze. cruise to necessities are good weather and better beer. 12 kegs have to be put away and nothing changes faster on hillagada and then the weather. by the time the 1st rays of sun appear on the gena restaurants terrace, the 2nd grog, chris disappeared. ah, i know they didn't have any guns, just get tons, beer morbid and a party ship all their own then a good and is, has did their 1st pung fest in 2003 with mixed feelings? as the former mayor recalls? i'm yes, at 1st. the gave the decision makers here the town hall, a little shock when they heard the words punk festival. they could the see it happening and do now with the nature reserve new to some people over 70 years old.

and then here comes punk rock. how could it work? no matter how you do it, it wouldn't work. then a little administrative voice piped up and said, well, we could give it a try before we on the 150 fans at the 1st one quickly grew to over 1000. the bands even played for free just for the atmosphere, the see the applause and what the fans would give her. now bands come from all over this end of europe for the rock and roll, but i thought they play and party till midnight. then the fans will crawl into their tents unless the wind has swept them away. in the meantime, the lobster housed by the harbor are a good place for a snack. these used to be warehouses for the fisherman to day restaurants have moved in they mainly offer seafood dishes, for example, helical and can hipa crap pincers. crab went under spectrum,

but the cutlery is strange by and i'd like it's only been ever radius with a hammer. okay. though up we have to break it a little like this. crack it sound done calmed us here. i think my colleagues, the finish would love this. our globetrotter always tries to the local food on his travels all around the world. and this time, steve has been to cuba and here's his new video. ah, havana is the capital largest city major ports and leading commercial center of cuba. the city has a population of 2100000 inhabitants and attracts over a 1000000 tourist annually. when you are in now of course, you need to go on

a tour with a classic car. so we're doing exactly that for 3 hours. going around around havana and seeing all the spots old havana, la habana via was declared a unesco world heritage site in 1982 with a today very good, very with

low visit to havana is complete without experiencing life music. actually, it's hard not to, as music is happening everywhere throughout the old town a ah, [000:00:00;00]

with me, it's evening on helical land. i am on the cliff path. again, the best place to wait for the sunset. you can only experience that when you stay here over night or a day trip is nice, but it's even better to stay 2 or 3 days on the island that makes it a real difference. because then you can experience the perfect the celebration. so just give it a try by, by the next time somewhere else in germany. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah ah,
