Thats region is absolutely magical and autumn theres forest as far as the eye can see. Im starting my excursion at perhaps the most exciting spot in the area that got pulled it down. This new pedestrian suspension bridge is one of the longest in the world. For a long time the hard mountains were more of a destination for people looking for a quiet vacation hiking enjoying the silence not much more to do around here but as you can see a lot has changed since then theres of course still a lot of hiking to be done but today i want to get to know both sides of the hearts the old and the new. No visit here is complete without a ride on the narrow gauge railway. Up to the block and the highest mountain in the hot. Inbetween well take a quick trip to amsterdam where locals sebastian bundles are going well show us around town. And weve got an email one of our viewers send and a vacation video from two graphic crew a shot. But the first thing im going to do is cross the bridge its over four hundred fifty meters long and a terrifying one hundred meters above the dam and river. It weighs some one hundred twenty tons and its firmly anchored in the cliffs on either side. It can feel pretty shaky up here on windy days. But no doubt about it the view is spectacular. And if youre daring you can fly over the water on a ship line. No way im missing out on that. Before i leave to go and catch a birds eye glimpse of all this you guys get less frightening overview of the area and well see the hearts is full of surprises. The huts Mountain Range extends across parts of three german states sex any sex any unhurt and to yelling and. Many hike is a draw into the areas wild and dramatic nature like here in the board of eddie. Les sposi visit his can take the cable car to arrive at one of the regions most popular destinations the hexan tons plus bowl which is done slow. This used to be the size of pagan. Ceremonies legend has it that which is gathered here on earth and reveled with the devil. Today there are more animals than witches around you can see red deer. Lynxes. Wild bulls and wild cats and even wolves are spotted here from time to time. And theres plenty to be seen from above to. Book the tree top trail leads visitors through the crowns of an old mixed forest. It was really an experience all this is very impressive. The different stations are interesting its like a puzzle. The region also has a strong cultural heritage. Old town is a unesco World Heritage site. The imperial palace of course that was built in the eleventh century and the city was an important center of power in the holy roman empire. The minerals in the imperial whole depict scenes from german legends and royalty who held court here in the middle ages.

You know we traveled over six hundred kilometers for this and its a lot different from how we celebrate at home its unique really special we wanted to experience it firsthand but. Others get their kicks from ohare rising up inches. Disciplining will running or taking a leap into the unknown. It definitely gets the adrenaline pumping. And thats why the company that offers these activities has called itself the holster unless. Im fighting myself up to make the jump i have to be quick because before taking off im to interview the man behind all these attractions. The how did you come up with the idea of building such a huge suspension bridge. Initial idea of hearts drawn a line was the pendulum jump and we needed half a bridge to get to the middle of the valley. And if youre going to build half a bridge you might as well build a whole one when. You come to some of the bridge was kind of a byproduct but now its topped Everything Else its. Thrill seeking and nature dont seem to be contradictory for you. Absolutely not the bridge is very well integrated and the natural landscape we tried not to do any damage either the pendulum jumped one or the bridge need any motors or anything. Youve got something thats unique here in the hospital and actually in germany how is tourism changed. To you tube this new tourists are coming from all over the world. When you look me. There are more people staying in hotels i know these people are staying longer so that they can see the british. Statistics im talking to region is popular with both young and old people. And thats very positive for us and a local resident. And you know it will more than gives them is there anything like an average visitor are tourists now younger than say ten years ago or is it about the same. Hits the. People were younger when we opened the mega supplies and i tell you now that weve got the bridge older people are coming from groups and pensioners and the supply and the pendulum jump and the extreme activities are more for younger people. And the bridges for children and the elderly or middle aged people i mean i lose money not for scaredy cat and i really secure i wont fall when i know for the first promise ok because i am a little nervous itll be fun. Its good to be a little scared otherwise it wouldnt be an experience youll love it i dont say ok all right lets do this you have fun. Here we go. No turning back now as a muscle. But i dont know her right. Its a kilometer long and im flying at a speed of ninety Kilometers Per Hour and suddenly. Its over. Im going to need a moment to recover from this so before we continue exploring the hans you guys get to hop over to the netherlands sebastian funda is going to show us around his hometown amsterdam. Hi im sebastian and welcome to amsterdam im very happy to show you the highlights of my city and the best way to start this too is of course on about. Yeah one of the sixty five canals and in the center around eighty bridges so one can say that im certain this event is the north but i rather say venice is the amsterdam of the south. Bridge. As you can see its a room rich very special and it was built thats the story because of two sisters and one lives on the one side and the other lived on the other side and because of the fact that they didnt want to war all the way down there they built this bridge in between here so they could get to reach out to foster. What i really like about them is that on one hand its just affinity with the heart of it and on the other hand its a true metropolitan city to me it has an amazing vibe. And you can see theres so many bikes in amsterdam so when you were here for child support. Because they have priority. Machine is something that people like it because we dont always have time and its me. Field Industrial History of this. Tell room. So much creativity in this area they even made a restaurant out of shipping containers. Used to build ships but nowadays artists work here but also free markets being organized in the week.

The damage can still be seen on some of the trails in the National Park. What often and what might be the cause of such extreme rainfall look so if. The Climate Change is making its mark in the hearts as well. Weve had a lot of hot summers recently and temperatures are prison. And there was a lot of rainfall in a short amount of time. Were seeing more and more of this. What are other signs of Climate Change. Dry summers are of course ideal conditions for. They are maturing earlier than usual and attacking the spruce trees in particular. What is the future looks like to expect more natural disasters. You hope that it wont be that bad in the hearts of these downpours and extreme weather conditions of our increasingly frequent. Average annual temperature on the broken used to be two point six degrees celsius but now its four degrees. So the temperature is rising. But thats just one of the reasons the park is being restructured the trees being planted today are more resistant than spruce unable to cope with the consequences of Climate Change.
