Before i keep following my fun time route there are a few tips for you what else does brant burke have to offer especially now in the summer many tourists come here to the most watery state in germany. Brandenburg has around 3000 lakes more than any other state in germany and the Water Quality measured at the lake shore beaches is generally excellent. South the water is clean its great swimming here on the sun sand what else. And then there are 33000 kilometers of flowing waters hobby navigators can traverse them to their Hearts Content a popular pastime is renting a house but the toll of family comes from dresden this is the 1st time traveling with brandon bros waterways.

In the past few years the brandenburg capital its become one of the most desirable and expensive cities in germany. Its 180000 residents include many young people plus the most free universities and more than 30 Research Institutes and. Put some as i did last time its really a small big city i like that thats being called much thats probably why so many people come or move here especially berliners because they appreciate that although were smaller we have everything. You can also meet the citys most famous son in the museum. Is one of the curators of an exhibition marking funtime his 200th birthday. The one in. This room has something really special. Yeah there arent very many remaining objects from front on it which is why the no ripping museum is very proud to have this clock. I mean its the funtown a familys grandfather clock. Its really old and it dates from 790 and the family owned it until 940 and kind of that its nice to imagine that it not only stood in front on a study but that he wrote to the rhythm of this clock and you can kind of hear that. With him but hes so im hearing more from tom heard the you hear hearing what went on heard. And there is also installation about one thomas most famous novel if you policed.

Into which is the most convincing evidence either making the acquaintance of winter lots of people picked that like seeing snow for the 1st time or the winter acquaintances someone who always keeps a distance was aloof or an affair at christmas with an affair or an affair at christmas time thats popular too or that or its someone you do wintertime things with like sledding or ice skating. Or winter time friends who you dont want to see in the summertime winter acquaintance. But lets move on the departure moment this year. From tom there was an attentive observer as a traveler and thats why we also find him in his work about what he ate on his travels well and thats an inspiration for chefs today to rediscover fontana who are merrily. Baker carl de mar plants in shanta on the hafele river got his inspiration from a poem by taylor a fun time. On a summer morning to take up field Walking Stick all your cast will fall away from you like morning haze that was the origin of the Walking Stick they gave me the idea of making blood gets in the fog of Walking Sticks.

That was just a fun idea we want to develop new please we dont want to just cook the same menu for 3 or 4 years and this. Was a nice challenge to market it gave us a chance to come up with something new awesome small stores. In his restaurant here can hope ngo offers a 3 course meal based on the real art of wild boar its certainly in tune with fun town as well known modeled after fortunes are not for me. The artist casino and marry again also has fountain on the menu the main courses feature freshwater fish trout and pike no surprise to find tons of fans after all the riders last completed novel was named after lakes fish lean.

Force the font on a menu includes dessert its called Bread Pudding a spice cake made according to fun time his grandmothers recipe answer it was pear poached in red wine. On. The. Front on a sister published their grandmothers recipes as a book in 1980 the meal ends with the dishes to. Get a 4th course the chestnuts look youre. Brown without fear but weve learnt a lot about it often town and his life not only about what he ate but what he drank and we found that he always liked the schnapps or the cure after a meal even after his coffee. So its nice that we can serve the. This is aware 4th course of the fun time and a menu to ground on. An ideal of a Village Church simple inviting nicely situated front on a road bed about the church in here he began in 859 with his rambling through brandenburg no village was too small for him no way to farm. This house was built later but its already over 100 years old now it houses a fairy with an exhibition of childrens paintings of course beer topic was from tonga. It is impressive that fontana was also curious about the most in conspicuous places. As a journalist from time to was also traveling to other countries in europe for example to england or to scotland and were also traveling right now but its going to Northern Ireland to visit Chrissie Greenway now. Kristie is going to show her hometown belfast. Hi everyone im christiane of the great pleasure of you and your. Today. I love belfast the player of the city the hustle and bustle the mix of all of the new america artists and musicians and its rich and diverse history. So 1st of all i want to introduce this in the Cathedral Quarter so its not just the oldest part about its also one of the ninetys parts about us its a beautiful cobblestone on the some of the most amazing bars near. Just come into the duke of york its one of the oldest pubs in belfast city its back to the hundreds of lots of bars in belfast but this is definitely one of my favorites of. The old. Murders so its a real iconic bar and the site of a really good start. Has a population of roughly 400000. 00 but considering the size of the study we have a really impressive civic building a beautiful city hall which at the same time is also the home of our lord mayor. And and. And. The next office are people telling museums its a symbol of our Industrial Heritage but its also a memorial for the many lies that were lost at sea and the reason the titanic was. At the turn of the 20th century was the largest and Fastest GrowingIndustrial City and the British Empire my parents were. On the 1st time that we had a sort of a hotel on board of a ship. And. This is more like what i would have travelled if i had left and 1912 3rd class cabin so a lot of the irish emigrants would have only had money to afford a small bed like this. Youll always be reminded of our. Beside me as one of the last remaining peace signs peace signs that we once had all across Northern Ireland used to separates the protestant from the catholic community. Its really become a remnant of the symbol of what used to be as you can see weve allowed. Those organized projects for both the communities where they come to. Gather and just participates in the project. So you can see people find all and leave their messages well wishes not just by Northern Ireland but also for peace all around the war. But it can come about without experiencing one of our many traditional music. So what a great way to end our day and i hope you have much fun as i did until next time slot on. The next stop on my journey through brandenburg in the footsteps of. Its kind. Of. The view of the pellets youre made a deep impression on the writer he wrote before us we have a picture of unusual beauty the smooth surface of the water line by a wreath of reeds and finally the palace itself in the distance. A gift from his father frederick the great rebuilt the palace and the rock style and extended. The showpiece is the hall of mirrors. With what was this room for us for here for this was frederick the great ceremonial and concert hall he wanted to have a big festivities and he wanted to give a concert see if frederick. A passionate flute planned he wanted to play here but any managed to do so once because the room was finished so late. But in that tradition we put on small concerts here and there mainly Chamber Music concerts with a photo piano for example small concerts with space for up to 100 people. And i was thrown out as one of them. Writes back palace is considered the model for song to see colors which frederick later built in potsdam in where he resided expression king. Looks gorgeous yes it was fredericks private study where he lived here and ryan spankers crown prince with it as one of the 1st rooms he moved into the 2 days later he wrote his 1st letter to voltaire.
