I will say were excited about what awaits me on this trip the river the landscapes and the challenges ill encounter along the way i have 25 kilometer the head of me from via walk all the way to a town called one could. Go on the show we catch up with our globetrotter on his adventure and care to step. One of our viewers shows us the sights and sounds of moscow. And we take you on a tour of frankfurt. But for now im. Just like many towns along the line this small city to has a spectacular palace this one was built in the 17th century and is considered one of the most remarkable baroque castles of the region. From here i get a great deal of whats coming next and heading down to the river and into the water. So this is your motor on the level its a single blade paddle boat on stilts public one hand up here the other down here place it in the water and. By there are any typical beginners mistakes ive never really done this then yet if you go under some low drainage then paddle out backwards this is you dont want to get caught up in the branches otherwise you could caps are just wood the word again if im doing my best to avoid that. One is a hard life. Youll hold on to the boat sit down and thats it. For us. Oh my god oh my god dont you dare flip us over. With your feet dont worry just let go its normal for its walking as necessary as it does and its about. Barry go. And because ive got quite the trip ahead of me ive enlisted a little support my producer andreas has agreed to help me paddle. Board not the only ones who have heard about the beauty of the law on groups of schoolkids keep us company on the 1st stretch. So much still that we even get into a little traffic jam after crossing germanys only boat tunnel we have to go through luck. On the other side peace and quiet the region along the line isnt just famous for its castles and fortresses its well known for its beautiful landscapes to. Getting back to the castles here is a figure that one surprise according to the European Castles Institute there are about 25000 in germany many of them are into going to state anymore but they all still have that i mistakenly romantic. Visitors come from all over the world to see germanys many castles and palaces. They stand as witnesses to a bygone era. Many dates back to the dark and mysterious middle ages they were mostly designed as fortresses overlooking rivers or positioned in highland areas. Often destroyed in fighting some have been rebuilt many times over. Most of the consuls in germany are privately owned either inherited or bought. A council like this one in the west an eyeful region requires a lot of money to maintain. Its castle is one of germanys most outstanding gems a genuine medieval fortress that has never been destroyed. Tourism provides a key source of income to help for the upkeep there are guided tours every 10 minutes the car still has belonged to the family for more than 850 years. Because of the book and are introduced on generation has a duty to pass on the castle in a better state than they received it was so obvious so weve worked hard to restore the roof of the windows and do. Offer jobs that need doing it. In this way but theres still a lot to do and there will always be for me and for the next generation if you next are going to. The nearby listening costal is also privately and horses going to listen board to the consul and is now restoring it in a labor of love the former teacher is investing a lot of money and effort in the project. More mushroom because you do have to be a little bit crazy to take on Something Like that. Some of the supporting beams in the great hall were rotten and the consul was in danger of collapse. So germanys monument Protection Authority came to the rescue along with the local authorities. And its good invest your money is being invested here to preserve a historical monument. Its in the Public Interest of the public funds are going into it but without the owners financial commitment it would have been impossible thats the traditional members without the love and dedication of the consolation as these historical gems would surely be in not just. The landscape around the lot and its truly impressive and as intruders were being carefully observed by the locals came my looks like we have a new friend and. A. Lot of the little boys. We survived our 1st day of canoeing and their reward will be spending the night at this riverside campsite in a tiny wooden hut. Tell us cramer shows. My home for the night is the hopelessness with the hugs are mainly for a canoe or to stay one or 2 nights and want to have some home comforts which guns often come for physician or a man dont want their tent on the boat things stay off the boat yeah or on a bike all paula. So step this way. All this is a lot more comfortable than a tent well these are yeah no comparison to your average. Night is falling on the lawn and the campsite to calm down. Before i hopefully get the well deserved rest i want to invite you guys to catch up with our globe trotter his most recent travels took him to central asia to kurdistan and there he had tons of fun hiking horseback riding and discovering the countrys cuisine of course. The moment were come to. A country which is defined by its moms this is why in this episode were focusing on how to switch it on to the local life and were going to taste the local cuisine. Kyrgyzstan is not really isolated bikes heidi mountainous terrain which has helped preserve its asian culture a country gained its independence as a nation state after the breakup of the soviet union in 1901. 100 years away. The horse with. Knowledge of horses take a well deserved break for a weekend in. If you. Take. What you see here is it true no matter this is where people live they have to have forces here to have goats and cows over there this is the life that the people used to have. Were actually mountain nomads a sap 80 percent of the country a mountain so they expect that they can set it up in the next valley but now that they wanted to or to. Welcome to kind of cool the city would respond better russians a strategic location to explore everything which is south east of cockle today its in a strategic location fall out of love just because of its proximity to the highest mountains of the country. Its time to introduce you to the feast on this week you encounter at the market with i and were doing of course what you got here to market. Ok thats right so what we have here is. And its basically this i think im like chinese muslims. Here and thank you thank you but its a case of like.

The next stop is to have carrots and thats also how i feel like we have a dessert here for sure ok and sometimes like here. Im doing it one day a track here with me its called the yoga looks like because of the village town thats named talk about. So its a false record 6 kilometers. Is where were going to get out thats the. Sort of take on the last too long. You know the thing with hiking for me is. That i always leave a good mutual make it records. And with the Conrad Murray i would say mission accomplished. And this is it from she gets down to were still. Here in the countryside along the line and its easy to fall right into a whole new friends that you go to bed early and get up early after all i still have a long stretch ahead of me. Ok lets go. Home. Day 2 starts just like day one and its very relaxed not a person in sight just us and the river. The serenity on the river really is Something Else thanks to the current and my cocaptain i can take some time to put my feet up. On the lawn you have to pass through plenty of locks and since theyre not manned anymore you have to open them yourselves. Or wait for help. Just open the gate. And keep on paddling. In germany there is a popular slogan good it was here its used to describe the places this well traveled poet graced with his presence goods entered an internship here on the lawn while he was in law school and it seems he did a lot of hiking here he was amazed by the quote unquote unspeakable beauty of nature to be fair he was also very much in love at the time the lady in question turned out to be the inspiration for the protagonist in his 1st novel the sorrows of young. And why am i telling you about all of this well because right now im going to take you on a little excursion to good birthplace france and only about 60 kilometers from here is definitely worth a visit and not just for a layover and its being as a report. Time for a time mine is well known for its skyline its banks. But there are also the half timbered towers is that surround the city hall a building known as the roman. Frankfurt is a leading Cultural Center and it hosts the Worlds Largest book fair. The fact it was 1st held over 500 years ago offer you how to school bag invented the printing press. Today you start she was just a. Stones throw from left of you have. Fun. Back in the 18th century when good was born from ford only had about 30000 residents. But it was the coronation city of the kaisers of the Holy Roman Empire and as a free Imperial City it had some autonomy. But above all it was a center of trade thanks to the trade routes and the trade fair participation had been stopped in the house where good was born is now when you see him during 100000 visitors a year. The house has been restored to its original with great attention to detail. The famous writer lived for 25 years this is also where he wrote his a pistol or a novel the sorrows of young. Because i looked at r. P. Wrote that in frankfurt and it was revolution and his eason hind songs revolutionized poetry and his play good from burleson and also written for the 1st well transformed german drama. A few meters from good us house you come to St Pauls Church in 1980 became the seat of the Frankfurt National Assembly the 1st freely elected parliament for the whole of germany so its considered the birthplace of german democracy. Time for to mine is also well known for its museums no less than 15 cultural institutions lined the written mind forming the Frankfurt Museum embankments. It includes germanys Oldest Museum foundation in the shade and was a. Collection of a 700 years of european art history from the 14th century right up to the present day. This is whats going to go on when it was founded 200 years ago in accordance with the will left by a wealthy frankfurt banker named your 100. Youth he was an art collector which was not unusual in the age of enlightenment when. He saw origin as a key part of his role in society. Although frankfurt was a free emperial city there was no bishop and no royalty living here with our needs a new dish so its always been the local people who have shaped frankfurt and to this day this foundation relies on the huge support it receives from the people of frankfurt doctor and from put a book at their shop. So look beyond frank for its modern skyline with its banks and office tower as and you find out which cultural history. And i very much to meet me on the banks of salon he was raised around here and he shaped the Areas Development in recent years through his work as a geographer enter as a consultant. On our way here we saw lots of bikers and paddlers it was all very calm and seemed extremely daily is that really what its like is this work i saw that with yes i design i think the lawn is one of the most delicate rivers in germany to explode by boat like this and thats why so many people come and it remains unchanged you can really relax and slow down from the commotion on everyday life. A lot isnt quite as well known as the rhine or the moselle rivers especially outside of germany do you think that can or should change or is it a sign the way it is. The only one that isnt so. I think its fine as it is quite well known among the Real Community as you can see from the number of boat rental firms here and if we could probably raise our profile a bit of money michael is about enough of and wed certainly like to become better known for hiking under and most people think of walking along the rhine think but id like them to consider the lawn 2. 100 left and so what are the challenges for the future you already said you want to promote the hiking trails but what else is on your list steve. Steve im down to 40 credit if we want to work on Quality Control when you market an area tourism and tell everyone to come then you have to make sure you have the necessary infrastructure and once you have to have designated areas where canoeist can get in and out of there both. Of those places you need. Public transport places to. Sustainable tourism means ensuring people dont get out in the middle of the Conservation Area and coast. Which is still a lot to do but it sounds like a lot of fun. Obviously absolutely and i love it when visitors like what they see in the 1st. Place branson film are and the stats us st john of me are very special theyre made of so called london marble which was mined in this area for centuries axel back as an expert and takes me to the former quarry millions of years ago this was a reef in the ocean the continental drift carried it north along with fossilized Sea Creatures and sediments. Here you can see this is a coral. Reef and this is a sea shell. Put on it after i mean you when you are not 10380000000 years ago our continent was on the equator then the continents moved and where were standing now was 20 Degrees South of the equator and on this long journey away from the equator tectonic cracks develop fault lines because there was pressure here you see these regular structures that the stone was under a lot of tectonic stress and then fused together again through cement they would have to go back im not like when did people yes start mining law in marble so there seem to are some of the 1st records are from 5099 were very proud we can say it was still the 16th century. That was the start of the wrong era when marvel became popular in its rule there was a demand for large colorful structures that appeal to the sense of fun the business. And so they realized they could make money here by the 17th 18th century lawn marble was in use around the world at the start of the 20th century marble from here was used in the Empire State Building and the moscow subway all over.
