Full and happy i get on the road this bridge connects to the island of luton and to prepare you for my next destination heres a little overview. Bergen is germanys largest island and like she does in the state of mechlin book for almost 80000 people live here added to that are far more than a 1000000 tourists annually the sandy beaches can get really full in the summer but things are quite relaxed in the winter. When. The island is known for its distinctive chalk cliffs they rise up over a 100 meters above the sea and are part of the national park. The british to Information Center lies above the cliffs. It takes you through 70000000 years of the earths history from the primordial era to the present. Beyond the coasts brogan is also shaped by its landscapes. The island alone has 3 nature reserves. And the rushing roland is another of logans attractions. The steam train has travelled the narrow gauge track since 895. 00 at a pace more leisurely and then its name implies. One of the places that i wasnt at all and take is to go on its hunting lodge. The building in italian renaissance style dates from the 19th century and became a popular destination for the nobility and celebrities back then. Autobahn bismark is said to have climbed the 150. 00 more steps in a tower to enjoy the view. Like other seaside resorts going to has benefited from tourism since the early boom in the late 19th century. Former villages like selling then been developed into fashion of baltic sea spas with their magnificent villas near the beach. There were leaning white wooden decorations are typical of the architecture associated with seaside resorts. In 870 bins had a total of 80 vacationers nowadays you can add over half a 1000000 to that but in winter i can barely imagine what this must look like in summer. Because as you can see in the low season things are just like back in the day no people no hustle and bustle just perfect if youre looking for some peace and quiet. Well now take a giant leap from the baltic sea down to this with our video blogger steve heymans and a fellow globe trotter paid a visit to the world famous wondrous sports resort of holes and from the look of it they spend their entire time on skis skates and they are. Our quest to show you the best winter destinations brought us to the alps again. From davos switzerland. Davos is a municipality in the country on of or 3 songs at 1560 meters its the highest town in europe and home to one of its or lins biggest ski resorts with 6 main ski areas totaling 320 kilometers of slopes. Good morning i got 33 to get to so everyone else. Was a full day of skiing some time to have some pasta chartrand which. You may complain about the ski break. But. The time for us to sit in this ice skating rink of doubles and perhaps a little hope to see you out it looks so elegant interested. Enough to spend a little while ago saying. Ok we get. Yes we are getting desperate. But it was a big 0. Were now taking such disparate its called boarding. Today were on the radar called song which is another of greenpeace popular ski and snowboard spot right next to the horse some time and ive heard that the earth will down that. Hard not to rock the boat so much. Isnt. Going to go in as much experience before you come to my next stop on the island of blues is got next its the islands gateway to the baltic sea from here im setting out to see the famous chalk cliffs from the water. But unfortunately today is not my day the sun cant get through the mist and clouds. But its certainly striking the way they tower majestically out of the water. Is chock lives for with our will leave the islands most suspect. But the chalk is also a natural raw material with many useful applications for example. Cliffs were created 68000000 years ago in Southern Europe through the shifting of tectonic plates the chalk deposits were pushed to the north. They were thrust to the surface the chalk is made from the remains of tiny marine organisms. Especially because no other sediments were dragged into this basin with it. And there are those for the last 150 meters or truck sediment sitting here on the surface. And some of them are up to 160 meters above sea level but a militia and theres only one place in germany where they exist and thats here on the island of kruger does a c. F. That is all you. Can even has a museum devoted to chalk its been mined here for almost 200 years chalk is used as fertilizer in paint and in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. To process the chalk its soaked in water separated from undesired components and dried what used to take 8 weeks now takes about 8 minutes. For medicinal chalk only especially fine material is used after its been additionally cleaned what remains as the museum informs visitors are mainly residues a planktonic form enough era these single celled animals had skeletons made of small calcite platelets when the organisms died they sank to the seabed and form the chalk sediment. Physiotherapist york snyder from sasnett has been using hogans medicinal talk since the early 1990 s. This natural product dissolved in water is said to stimulate the heart and circulation and have an anti inflammatory effect. On very few you know if its used as a poultice on the back or joints warm or cold or if youre experiencing a rheumatic episode for instance its applied cold or market for chronic conditions it tends to be used warm or cool. When. The poultice is sealed to stop the talk from drying out medicine or chalk was used on the flu going as early as the turn of the 20th century. The sediments from the cretaceous period are. Also used to help cleanse and regenerate the skin as a face mask. This absolute bicester skin is so soft off to its stomach at 1st it tingles a bit but the skin regains its moisture quite quickly and then it feels so much softer to put it is absolute pleasure. One thing thats never lacking on a Holiday Island leg looting is accommodations there are thousands of Hotels Apartments and vacation homes but if youre looking for something a little unusual head to allow talk about where you can rent floating lodges and houses on stilts and you can try out a whole range of Water Activities tell ya he is the man behind the idea. Give us a this is a truly unique place how did you come up with it and. We have just about everything on offer when it comes to water sports and that makes us unique and we can. You can learn sailing with us go swimming off the terrace of your house you can go fishing you can do everything related to water. From a launch them to floating houses were the 1st of their kind in germany and the houses on stilts that you see in the background are still unique in germany i think thats right what kind of tourists come here do they like the concept. In the summer and in the Holiday Season many families with children come here because they can spend their time sailing swimming and fishing. But we also have guests who come only in the winter because we have regular customers who have been coming for decades i mean every winter for 3 or 4 weeks they know what to expect and they have their favorite floating are. They bring their own red wine and pasta turn off their cell phones open a good book and really enjoy the tranquility of winter. By. The still taxes on luton Southern Coast are inspired by similar constructions on the maldives. That goes for the inside too. I may not have brought any red wine and pasta but a book is enough to make myself at home.
