of them is unique. as you stroll through the city you'll see little channels called places you know they can be found along many of freiburg streets during the winter months they're empty but in summer they're full of water . those have been around since the middle ages and they stretch out over more than 15 kilometers back in the day they were used to assure water supply but nowadays they've become more of a tourist attraction and a pretty dangerous one legend has it that whoever steps into them will have to marry a freiburg or so be careful. freiburg is germany southernmost city and the perfect starting point for a trip to the black forest. during the winter months the region's biggest draw is of course the snow i'm a huge winter sports fan and i'm going to do my very best to try everything the black forest has to offer the 2 classics skiing and sledding are on the very top of my list. and there is one thing i'm particularly looking forward to there's only so much i'll give away it's not going to be me who exercises i'm going to let a couple of furry friends do the work for me. also in today's program will show you some black or it's essential is from the cuckoo clock to the famous ball in which. one of our viewers shows us around his hometown valencia in spain. and as always we got mail this time from paris. the black forest is germany's highest low mountain range and botton virgin bags number one tourist destination. from freiburg it takes you about half an hour to get to the black forest by car on the way you pass by some fascinating site says you had for the so-called valley of hell. but in reality it's not hellish at all quite the opposite the valley shows nature at its best. this gorge for example is so narrow that if the legend is to be believed a deer once jumped from one side to the other. my journey and leads me to the frozen lake city one of the many must sees in the black forest. every year thousands of tourists full pir to like t.t.c. in both summer and winter to stroll along the problem dogs. a few kilometers away. it is even more water like shanxi. mean. you can walk the entire perimeter of the black forest because like on an 18 kilometer trail. nestled in a valley you'll find santa claus in cathedral it's domus 36 meters in diameter. like many towns here santa claus in a surrounded by dense stock woods they look almost black hence the name black forest the abundance of wood is reflected in the local products the best known is the cuckoo clock. the wrong bank of the house company and shawna has been making them for more than a 100 years. and before not in started with this design issue that well it's called a shield cloth it's hand painted and it's the original cuckoo clock try the vide of the value on our company has developed variations on market so now we also make contemporary cocoa crop. went and they all strike the hour. and other regional tradition it is a ladies' hat called the bottom hoot actually it's only more than 3 neighboring villages but it's become a symbol of the whole black forest. were these hats the inspiration for black forest gateau there's no proof but they could be because the chocolate shavings somehow look a bit like the dark woods and here it is black far scatter a sponge cake basically push it your whipped cream cherries and chocolate shavings . and. you know the forest isn't just a place to go sightseeing or enjoy a meal it's great for winter sports. but nearly 1500 meters its highest mountain in the field but is almost guaranteed to have snow and it's home to the region's biggest ski resorts. the black forest biggest skiing ariad no way i'm missing that but 1st i need to fetch them gear no problem because there's a rental spot at the foot of the slopes. the there are 38 lifts around the field back and some 63 kilometers of peace. i'm going to start with a blue slope one of the easier ones i haven't read in a while. great weather perfect snow and a view all the way to the alps i couldn't ask for more. time to try something a little more challenging. but. that was amazing. and considering it's my 1st piece from of the year i don't think that is too bad but if he is way too old school for you and you'd like to try out more innovative ways of moving around the globe i've got a great tip for you why don't you try snowkiting. snowkiting on the failed back it involves a car turning your way over the ice or snow on a snowboard or skis you can even take to the air. but of course you have to learn to land a break because well the fell back off is plenty of courses for beginners. there's s. there and the 1st thing i have to know when setting up my kite is where is the wind coming from what do you think where is it coming from what is on by and then both your ears have to feel cold equally it's a bit hard with a helmet but still an out where your nose is pointing that's where the wind is coming from but i have come to what i know right down with our friends who. first you practice without a snowboard and with a mini cart that's not so easy right now the wind is gusting getting stronger but already the 1st participant is having a go with a large car. with winds of 47 and above things start to get uncomfortable but whether often changes fast on the fall back to the group has to start as you go. to. the next day the skies are clear perfect conditions for snowkiting. in all or nothing too bad the only tree farm boy is in the way sometimes snow can't see involves climbing. me half a mile it's not the 1st time i've had to climb a tree. i have a 3rd now you will know why we don't snow cockney obstacles. after that lesson suddenly everything goes beautifully but. yeah. everyone's really enjoyed it and they get plenty of praise for the efforts. of the good guys on flights most don't. so if you want a new experience no county is just the thing and there's no doubt you'll get better drilling rush. hour break here in the black forest that's no problem there are lots of chalets restaurants and rustic and for instance the right marty holds a guest house run by the andres family. and all home to the car you know any cars like me that. it's located in beautiful surroundings near the fastback. hikers and cross-country skiers often stop here it's one of the oldest inns in the black forest. these are new how long have you been running to guest house in my generation since 1905. and before that. another 5 generations. 825. the andrus family's attachment to the region is reflected in their menu. and i can really recommend steaks from steaks and. they come from the council out there from a farm just 50 meters away. the 1st answer so here raise your own food here. than i have has to go back to work but before i leave i need to charge some of his food the best way to try as much as i can seems to be a platter with regional delicacies. trying local fare is definitely one of my favorite parts about traveling our new york i couldn't agree more he invited us to the spanish city of the birthplace. and we met up with him on the central market among regional fruit veggies and of course come on let's go meet a local. hello i'm carl this club bad and i love traveling the world but today i want to show you some of my favorite spots in my hometown of the lens here we start our tour in the heart of the city at the

there you know. what a well aimed at us we are very proud of this building it was declared a unesco world heritage site in 1996 on december the 7th my birthday is that more than i thought they would i mean i suspect this is the most impressive room he's on with it's elegant columnist ellis in a theater they say that they say your 30 silk and other products were traded here from the 15th century all months for naught it will be important. stuff. is the thing. that you. when i got out of the game i also like to thank him because it is around the old central and south bend that this district with its narrow streets is called el countermand and used to be pretty rundown with the bath and some 20 years ago restoration began and now a lot of young people live here. and there where the people there. he was the old buildings have interesting features like can't stand balconies that are decorated with tiles you know now those corners that one sample for the region i mean we put up your jacket. they help us out of us time now to leave the past behind us and head for valencia's most modern landmark which will really surprise you yet this is the city of arts and sciences it's made up of a number of different buildings think loued the opera house and a science museum with. this whole complex reflects our mentality in valencia we do things in a big way. but it's not a thin though you get to know that it is getting dark so times when dark by the sea i hope you enjoyed it and that you'll come and visit as one day here in berlin soon . see that. charles taylor. would you like to show us around your hometown. become our travel guide. to find out check you out on our website. u.w. dot com slash travel. for you have i been waiting for this moment i know i know been as russia because i saw him come over and. i get to go dog sledding with these adorable huskies my gal luna and the rest that's a ban from lenz kay says it is important that his visitors learn how to handle the dogs. yeah well do they have to be before they can be harnessed to a sled skipped i need to huskies a husky just size that for him so that officially they can take part in races off to the 18 months old. dozens of them he said while racing harnesses and there are different sizes. and the most money you have to put them on. the strongest dogs pull the sleds and the ones that listen well the leaders on your ok on the harnesses are always the same for the front and the back. you know it's the only different size not marxist at the business i hear but starcom i think of going to have. the or take it. on. when i have harnessed the dog. the dogs can hardly wait. before we get to the sled we give them a drink now in winter the huskies are really busy but what's it like in summer. almost under basically they rest in song they don't do anything anymore that's what we give them less to eat it's like when bess hibernate. the monkey can watch them as usual but in temperatures above 20 degrees celsius when you don't do much with siberian huskies gone it's male that ok so let's get going. and where our sasha's assistance attach the dogs to tell clients. that. to get used to it i go for a spin with sasha staring. it's hot but i look at trying to love myself he has a few tips. he doesn't need me the what happens when i lean into a curve to the dogs go along with mean by they don't know in front what i'm doing behind them. they dust me and no they don't you talk to them but then what are the commands how can i get them to do what i want. young ones we've trained them in german and in english to languages but also i guess we've found that works best when opening few want to go there you say links in with a smooth if you want to go right you see the movie if you want to slow down you say slow to stop you say stop and go is go go go ya boy i fell. off again. not easy but the docs aren't listening to you they're. pretty damn. good to make a beginning to. the 1st even if i didn't mean to say that was truly a once in a lifetime experience but much like skiing it's an experience that can only be had if there's enough snow during the month of january and february snow is pretty much assured here in the black forest but still being at the mercy of the elements always makes for a bit of an unpredictable vacation but don't you worry even if there is no snow at all you won't be getting bored here in the black forest. with. the ski lifts may not be running but the dogsleds could run on wheels on the summit to poke around and talk now is going at full tilt. if there's no snow in the black forest it doesn't mean you'll think haitian is over . the summit toboggan run takes you almost 3 kilometers downhill. oh you can carry tried. complete with mulled wine or a hot toddy. if you plan to go cross-country skiing get out your poles anyway and go hiking instead. and if you just can't do without eyes at least there's some at the skating rink not only can you skate here you can also try your hand at curling. or you can just relax and enjoy the gorgeous scenery with or without snow. thankfully i have snow to spare so i can give sledding a shot no huskies this time. ok so that. there are countless to bottom runs in the black forest i'm at the one in lens kit the track is over a kilometer long and it's nothing for the faint hearted. usually there's a bus that will take you back up the mountain but it doesn't run very often and just missed it so i have to walk on. time now to leave this to go into her wonderland behind once more and dive head 1st into the hustle and bustle of beautiful paris our viewer freddy corrosive in costa rica travel to the french capital and shot a video of his very memorable trip thanks for that freddy and everybody else
