Its a Pleasant Walk to the end of the pier. During high season encouraging boat dock here several times a day. Getting stuff back and are nicknamed the emperors resorts why well because already 200 years ago the rich and the famous like to spend their vacation here one of them was german Emperor William gray times long past but still very much alive you only have to look. Struggle round the imperial seaside resorts known as the kinds of data and soak up the atmosphere you get a sense of what it was like here in the 19th century back when cuz of it had the 1st came to saddam to relax as well as to see and be seen. I was to curts artists and wealthy merchants from the capital followed his lead and spend their free time here and it was that im has remained a favorite vacation destination to this day. The un and is even nicknamed brandons both top. Because it was it always located just 200 kilometers from the german capital. Columnist balustrades and balconies adorn the islands but as many of which date from the turn of the 20th century. This style is a relic of a bygone era just one that continues to captivate visitors to this day. Even back then it was a status symbol to own a house of one of them or seaside resorts. During the communist era the biggest fell into disrepair but theyve now been restored with many being turned into hotels or apartments. The tourists dont just flock to the 3 period seaside resorts with the architecture these spawn chalons have a charm all their. All as german off a tutor funtown i once wrote the view of the grays see through the trees is poetic and infinitely pleasing to the heart and so. Today its hard to find that poetic tranquility at the bustling kinds of it or that the enticing atmosphere remains. About 1000000. 00 visitors come to the island every year especially in some a during the high season. That brings in a bike and rode down the boardwalk. Only a couple of minutes later average poland. And. The sculpture is meant to remind Border Crossers of the fact that it wasnt always this easy to get to the neighboring country. These times are long gone today and can be easier to get since we dont wish to. Seem like im not the only one to notice here too huge crowds everywhere. The street at least shit is popular with shoppers prices being much lower than on the other side of the border but thats not the only thing that makes a visit to saddams biggest city worthwhile we dont wish to is nicknamed the 4th ever as resorts and as many beautiful spots. Back on the german side ride by the border and stop to visit the island sand sculpture exhibit. General manager. Kluger leads me past 100 sculptures to the work of 25 artists from all around the world. How does and become art yes how does sand become art we have these big crates which are prepared and filled with sand and water then the mixture is compressed and the next last added on top. And then next when it solidified the artist can start working on it from the top and work from the top right down to the bottom of the whole story about if there isnt only sand dont you spray it with anything to make it stick together. Let them know it really is just sand thats why theres a roof over our heads to protect the sound from the elements its simply compressed and the artists many many years of experience in dealing with this material within the actual thats the secret of income. But not the only one the artists also use a special kind of sand. Shows me how that works one to stand back that you know you have to try here we have our baltic sea sand like youd find on the beach its very fine and even if you squeeze it together not much happens. When that happens theres our sand sculpture sand. And take it. Pretty sure and press it together quite firmly. And you have a really nice group. Sam they use here comes from a gravel quarry in a village on. Ready ready the sand hasnt been worn smooth by the sea sold packs together better. Than sculptures dont last forever so each year there is a new exhibition with a different motto this years is expedition earth. But im going to if i wanted to build Something Like this although of course much smaller on the beach how would you recommend i go about it. Yes with my 1st it would be to get the right kind of sad but i think thats a bit difficult otherwise i advise you to work from a. Dont go up too high but well from above and then you can create a lovely object. Time now to meet a local our viewer that i want to take us around his hometown granada in spain back in the middle ages it was ruled by the morris nazareth dynasty and they turned the city into the center of andalusia arabic culture that legacy can still be felt today. Hello and welcome to grenada one of the most beautiful cities in spain my name is manuel and today i will show you why i mean not with this city. Not a family now where in the. Also known as the america itself grenada this name comes from its resemblance to typical streets in iraq over here. We can find different products from the arab lateral thought than one lot i. If you at the mall and if you want to take a break you can have a seat and relax in one of the many cafes to enjoy a moroccan see. How don im going this is how they see the family more supporter of the city and one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in 1904 it was declared a World Heritage site by unesco so i love it i love getting lost in it streets in it are in that beauty. Like your. Mother. I mean what right now were at the meter do with the new collage which is one of the most important and beautiful a few points from granada to from here we have a view of the Sierra Nevada mountains and yell ombre which is the symbol of this city as i dont feel now 30 get that one point though its made up of the now 3 palaces by the more recent months and more to lived as one of the elica saba the walls that surrounded the ancient city and the gardens of the hen early thing the royals recreational and holiday residents at iowa state that make avail that i feel ive been one in a piece of advice if you want to visit. Be sure to reserve tickets send them as they usually send out a month in advance. I mean this is one of the most beautiful walks to take and her daughter officially its called said robin or the to say the last 3 so this woke up a sad one piece since the road led to the cemetery. This is the really cool the jewish quarter of granada and among other things this popular front street by world famous graffiti artist. Or one of the most famous place to listen to Farming Community kanada is the state but today i want to take you to one of my favorite boss lets go. After you look at buffalo they are. Going to go to get tough. Down there. And i hope you enjoy touring my city and i hope to see you soon and get out of. That. Comes out. Is a long island the beach stretches out over 42 kilometers. In the hinterland youll find forests meadows and lakes the island is separated from the mainland by the october informed by the river pina flowing into the baltic sea. All the places ive seen so far were full of tourists now i want to discover saddams more quiet parts so im off to the hinterland and im treating myself to a truly special experience ill discover in the area on horseback on goes a dumb there are many riding stables ive chosen this one in. A group of locals had planned a tour and theyve invited me to join. This is adriano my best buddy for today or at least i hope so before hitting the road we need to curry the horses. Saddled them. And put their boots and. Almost ready but safety 1st. Oh gosh i dont like her a long time 123. Made us do this. First we need to cross town ive been in the saddle a couple of times already so i was able to join the tour right away but if youve never sat on a horse youll have to do a couple of practice rounds at the stables or let someone else take the reins in any case this is a great way to discover nature in the in. Here in the hinterland there arent nearly as many tourists as there were at the beach and in the resorts nature and beautiful scenery and as far as the eye can see. But before i get too romantic we decided to sleep it up a little to attract is as far as ill go this time around but. The leave the gallop to the pros but i do have to say this area is the perfect spot to go horseback riding and we could even take a good dip with the animals. Move. Not to move. Now if youre interested in military history you should take a trip to the other side of the island to peenemunde during National Socialism it was the site of an Army Research center specialized undeveloped in new weapons the historic Technical Museum reappraise is this history. Archivist told must current shows me around the premises. Now we come into the rocket which made peenemunde a famous the one most people associate with this black and white rocket known as the v. 2 or retribution weapon to aggregate fear as it was called here. Yet how destructive was a. Little just wipe out a single building it leveled half the neighborhood especially when buildings were hit directly the impact was already devastating thought of it wasnt just precise as originally planned so it was only used to bomb bombed want to area target selection area targets meant big cities. The v 2 was launched about 3200 times targeting mostly london and and were more than 8000 people died as a result of the attacks. Take an elevator to the roof of the museum in order to get an idea of the extent of the area occupied by the former military training center. To this day a big part of saddams northern tip is its only guarded exclusion zone to protect people from left over ammunition buried in the ground. Between 943 and 44 the majority of the center was destroyed in allied airstrikes what was left was the Army Research Centers Power plant and 991 the museum it describes the history of the center of its technologic milestones as well as the horrific and inhumane sacrifices made in the name of scientific advancement. The months i cannot. There was europes Largest Military Research Facility 94312000 people worked here they had different professions only a few were engineers there were heaps of administrators a huge bureaucratic machine went along with it and many others who werent here by choice. Thats forced laborers p. O. W. s and prisoners and concentration camps many of them lost their lives working on the weapon serial production the museum also conveys the idea that the v 2 should not only be seen as a destructive weapon that killed thousands its launch was also a watershed moment for the evolution of modern space technology. It was the 1st manmade object to reach space wasnt. 942. 00 was an historic day october 3rd is now reunification day in germany but this was in 1942 the rocket took off and reached a peak altitude of 84. 5 kilometers. Back then the 50 mile mark was sent as the boundary of space thats roughly 80 kilometers so the gateway to space was really pushed open here. On which side of history would you place the v. 2. Really thats really a tough question its a balancing act we try to perform here in the museum too it was the mother of all wrong kids but here it was primarily about Weapons Development off shore they motivated the engineers by saying after we won the war with it will go to the moon but they could only say that behind closed doors. Games you know how do you go about it here in the museum with this heritage that very much needs to be put into context for the visitors. And we can do right by everyone your technicians are often disappointed that we dont explain how all the plants functioned in say just a concentration Camp Memorial on the other hand others accuse us of glorifying nazi engineers and their technology. Its hard to please everybody but we try to find the middle ground if we are attacked from both sides then we know we found the middle ground and we hope to continue doing that in the future in the new permanent exhibition we have. A lot of. Pain in the end it is a place in history that offers a stark contrast to the beach holiday now its your turn again its time for our weekly v well as always well show you travel impressions of one of our viewers this week we got mail from new york who visited mexico and to. My stay here in new saddam is almost over but theres still one thing on my to do list. Me to face up to the late 19th century fishing was the islanders livelihood i mean kozel where fish was made more durable by coding and what solves food conservation kept the islands mostly poor population from starving in winter today the historic salt trucks are under a preservation order. And 991 the Family Restaurant because it was i would sit to open. Stores but here at the fish. And smoked thats typical for a whos a dog and master smoker steph and i live just going to show me how its done. And you will how do you prepare the fish for smoking does it have to be salted or otherwise spice to move them over 1st becoming to pushing soldiers and then hand it to dry just like we have here. How long do you leave it hanging a street called its been our just to drive when smoking fish. Smoking takes time. Well working for them because. They can which types of fish are particularly good when smoked but here we have elan salmon. And below thats part of the thats one of us are here. Once the fish is dry in the oven is closed for about an hour. In case you were wondering why they call it smoking. Time to get a taste im going to try them all ill salmon and howl of it. I wonder if these are the ones i smoked but at this point care the most important thing is theyre all delicious. Bustling life at the beach and tranquility in the back country good food and plenty to do offers all the ingredients you need for a perfect Summer Holiday i for one had a great time i hope you get to see you next time somewhere and germany.
