First and foremost these boats are Tourist Attractions but they were once the only way to get around the. They have flat bottoms because the canals arent all that deep each property has its own moorings.

Any calls about and i know and dont worry i speak german as well which additionally welcome visitors with bread and salt so welcome to help. But think you. Are stepping into these replicas of original slave out houses one can easily imagine what life must have been like in the 19th century 150 years ago family life took place in one single room and in one single bed then they thought they had no notion what your life would have been like if you married into a family and later youd be sharing a bed with you in laws and your kids should he have any would sleep in your bed too along with your husband of course you know. That. One of the houses is dedicated to sorby and culture and traditional stormin costumes. At this museum which was which additionally banal costumes consisting of a blue apron and underneath we were a sky started out one dot in the ocean to hawk a how you can see money as. A woman wearing this kind of signals that shes married as a married woman you always wear muted colors whether that be blue green or purple what he thought when young girls tend to wear bright shades of right my not yet also wear a kind of blouse but without passions and this piece of cloth keeps it all together for the. Museum is very interactive this is how laundry was done a 100 years ago. If hes going to really push it hard against the board and im getting a good workout here i will. Play. What i wish. I dont think. Its much of school now if the stops of the wind and sunshine can draw everything. Came a great day for. The head of the Museum Stefan heinz tells me a bit more about tradition and culture in this play but. I mean no my boy. Well lets talk about the source why did they decide to settle a misplay about it either because all because you dont give me the actual sorbs settlement region is much larger and it reaches all the way to dissolve the river and up to berlin and down to the saxon or mountain its best to leave it as you could think this spray broadswords might have made a bad choice by coming here with all the canals and many mosquitoes here but water played an Important Role its essential for catching fish and there are plenty of forests in the area and the swamps help keep invaders out. So i think the overall conditions for settling right here in the middle of the spray about werent actually that bad after all. That he didnt. Need to get us out when he went over the century storms have been persecuted their language for baden can you tell us a bit about the history. Versus the sorbs were christian honest and they were treated like a minority for hundreds of years when they were more or less suppressed across the ages into the book. They never govern themselves there was never a sore bridge again. But against all odds the sorbs managed to preserve their culture especially by adapting on postle that was their key to success and thats it give us the unpossible at this. Point and with the heat now with us from who is it difficult to keep the army and traditions alive. They are the ones they sort of if you look at the customs the celebrations are traditional costumes often those are really popular in the villages as you can see here in the museum. So its a very different story with this or blank which its a complicated language thats tricky to learn it takes effort to say there are language initiatives and even a high school in columbus were pupils going to learn the sort of language there is a sword media to newspapers t. V. Radio and so i think people are quite worried about how to keep their complicated language alive and open to make it appealing enough so others want to learn it.
