I am on the edge of the hans a low Mountain Range in the east of germany it is a journey into history thats why i chose the hots Narrow Gauge Railway for the trip its been around for quite some time. My destination a town thats over one thousand years old. Im in korea then book and i want to find out what earth this mediaval town World Heritage status will be visiting the famous cathedral and treasury and be looking at what else you can experience here in the run up to christmas. Course we also show you what you can experience in the hearts mt yes in winter. A peruvian shows us the sights of her hometown. And we have a pure video of a tour of japan. Has been a unesco World Heritage site since one thousand nine hundred ninety four no other german town has so many will preserved half timbered buildings im meeting a real expert on the subject a local tour guide. Book is a World Heritage site why is that fact there because of the beautiful have timid house thats built over many centuries its never been destroyed back i just traffic pa is a was written book has an Architectural Heritage stretching back over a thousand years which you can still see today. A typical style for it be done with. The most striking thing is the pointed beam ends nominee and designs with exposed to beam and they round it to allow the wood to teacher of. The thirty years war left a lot of destruction in its wake all over Northern Europe north are open and there was a building boom here on a really major scale because as i said the individual buildings were destroyed not untied districts but those houses were rebuilt with simply decorative animals and carvings thats where the pointed beam ends come from the bits are they just easier to cut than a round and surface. And that innovation was only introduced here the idea didnt spread among other carpenters in the country and other places didnt copy it they didnt like it so its a unique characteristic. Are all beautiful buildings but thats my take to the towns condition. I must this is something you have to see when you come to get involved so see the organ i stand about is in a sense the original vision of the heart in building dating back to the fourteenth century understood never back then the stars around continuously from the choice to the who are at the ceiling of the room have seems that was secured with wooden shims its still an excellent condition on even though it was built into as he was he said of to one thousand six hundred thirty it would be able to find a half to that house must older than that because its a really interesting building. As you can see everythings gearing up for winter and the Holiday Season the hearts mountains also have a lot to offer for outdoor enthusiasts this time of the year Winter Sports and a beautiful scenery. If youre an early riser with a bit of luck you might catch sunrise over the hops mountains from their highest peak the brook one thousand one hundred forty one meters up. For the meet your want to just at the weather station here its a nonstop natural spectacle even on i to be cold mornings like this one. Is funny told often when it was gorgeousness morning the air was very clear the trees covered in ice. And i was like a toy in the sun rises everything is bathed in pink to go with the snow its now minus twenty two degrees celsius really crunches under your boots as a lovely winter morning. Published one exist fantastic visibility but would not see if you can see one hundred seventy kilometers all the way to hess and it has been shown you can also clearly see the bustle cokers were not in their own mountains the reason of her Indian Forest could be more beautiful. When the weathers like this how about a romantic train journey to the summit. The rail Service Serving the Hearts National park runs nine trains a day during the winter time. But many this to speak her to do the journey uphill on foot. Ever since the early one nine hundred ninety s. Been no smith has been climbing the broken nearly every day. This couple are already on their way down benno tells them how when the weathers nice he has to go out hes an optimist rain or shine he hits the trail they have it all begin to winter is just starting here most of this year doesnt really get going until february or march which is when we get snow drifts up to five meters deep lets in the last few years or tapered off a bit but i hope this winter will be a good one thousands and you want eight thousand the time was in october or torrential rain as one official said so that was something. Right after reaching not goals. He wanted to start only coming out every second day but i cant resist a mountain. The broken is popular with hikers in daytrippers but Winter Sports fans prefer the second highest peak in the hawks the form back. Because theres often not enough natural snow in the region ski lift operators have to lend a helping hand. It was given we have to make a lot of snow with the work itself is really murderous lot especially when you do evaluate what you know during the day and then snow quite a bit on the not so the mix was really excellent primo thats a huge amount of work to building up a good base over such a large area. But its worth it and with a little luck if the weather plays bold visitors can revel in another stunning win today in dots mountains. The history of friedland book goes back to the tenth century emperor also the first established a last resting place here for his father he had a church built on the silk and a convent. Became a paletta knit a seat of power visited by emperors and kings and the town accumulated quite a bit of wealth in the middle ages. Pastor of pissed off costumes takes me to the treasury here you can find the cathedrals famous collection of artifacts which was lost for forty years. But what is actually in the treasury. Dont have the students mostly made up of liturgical objects objects made in the middle ages that the field of function in the church. During services for example or things that were perhaps used display normas aerated during mass given that i can toggle and today the treasures are displayed on cabinets. For viewing purposes only if the google isnt the treasure is comprised of a range of smaller and larger items is there perhaps one thing that stands out companies on the net really because even some of the smaller objects have a great history and was a good speech to the most important items are made from very Different Things that have been put together the diligence to go as guns. As it still is and some of the samwell gospel for example is in a limited work and put on that later receive the cover of gold the hudspeth in good and i clicked into the ground that cover also had materials worked into it in the dignified than it will and useful in the game had. Done it to trial and as an eagle when the book like this has a history stretching back hundreds of years it was a long time in the making when doesnt that makes every object in the cathedral treasury a work with its own unique and exciting story stick. In all things and you see. Why it is the treasure disappeared from creating books for a while where was it. Yes thats what was it funnily enough the treasures here have a knack for being stolen which i started during the reformation when i had people back then they have to send the treasure off to relatives for safe keeping the food today because she was worried that it would be taken away after the monastery had come down on the side of the protestants that done later holy and had the treasure taken elsewhere fortunately it was then brought back and thats it was it was the most recent stories from the period after the Second World War when kramer was occupied by the americans significant portions of the treasure were sent back home to the us i think they were stolen and disappeared to housing to seek bones and get all clones and he was a mystic bones and. Becomes who discovered it in the us and brought it back here as is given that we can do it when the treasure of such significance is stolen one thats also well documented and there are always people keeping an eye out to see if it pops up again somewhere. One day one of the missing items appeared on the market which came to the attention of people who hadnt any case suspected it could be in the us and he was a hundred would have such could be mistys in terms of mix on the board and they started trying to track down there. At the end of the one nine hundred eighty s. They managed to find the treasure that had been stolen food and the items were returned to germany at the start of the one nine hundred ninety s. And from then on to go on so we can come to. Another little recommendation once youve visited the church and the cathedral treasure check out this terrorist afterwards.
