Thats region is absolutely magical and autumn theres forest as far as the eye can see. Im starting my excursion at perhaps the most exciting spot in the area that got pulled it down. This new pedestrian suspension bridge is one of the longest in the world. For a long time the hard mountains were more of a destination for people looking for a quiet vacation hiking enjoying the silence not much more to do around here but as you can see a lot has changed since then theres of course still a lot of hiking to be done but today i want to get to know both sides of the hearts the old and the new. Notice it here is complete without a ride on the Narrow Gauge Railway up to the block and the highest mountain in the hot. Inbetween will take a quick trip to amsterdam where locals sebastian bundestag and will show us around town. And we got an email one of our viewers sent and a vacation video from dubrovnik crew a shot. But the first thing im going to do is cross the bridge its over four hundred fifty metres long and a terrifying one hundred metres above the dam and river. It weighs some one hundred twenty tons and its firmly anchored in the cliffs on either side. It can feel pretty shaky up here on windy days. But no doubt about it the view is spectacular. And if youre daring you can fly over the water on a ship line. No way im missing out on that. Before i leave to go and catch a birds eye glimpse of all this you guys get less frightening overview of the area and you can see the hearts is full of surprises. The huts Mountain Range extends across parts of three german states sex any sex any unhurt and. Many hike is a draw into the areas wild and dramatic nature like here in the board if eddie. Visit is can take the cable car to arrive at one of the regions most popular destinations. The hexan tons bill which just onslow. This used to be the size of pagan ceremonies legend has it that which is gathered here on this night and revelled with the devil. Today there are more animals than which is around you can see red deer. Lynxes. Wild bulls and wild cats and even wolves are spotted here from time to time. And these plenty to be seen from above to. Book the tree top trail leads visitors through the crowns of an old mixed forest. It was really an experience all this is very impressive. The different stations are interesting its like a puzzle. The region also has a strong cultural heritage. Old town is a unesco World Heritage site. Here a palace of course that was built in the eleventh century and the city was an important center of power in the holy roman empire. The minerals in the imperial whole depict scenes from german legends and royalty who held court here in the middle ages. The World Heritage site also includes the mind of thomas back or mining was an important source of wealth for many cities in the hundreds. According to legend it was a miner who discovered bowmans cave. Its one of the oldest show caves in the world with guided tours going back to the seventeenth century. Here every year on the thirtieth of april reading. Its come back to mock the pagan festival. Its a gathering of modern day devils and witches. Traveled over six hundred kilometers for the us its a lot different from how we celebrate at home its unique really special we wanted to experience it firsthand but. Others get their kicks from ohare rising up inches. Ziplining will running or taking a leap into the unknown. It definitely gets the adrenaline pumping. And thats why the company that offers these activities has called itself. Im fighting myself up to make the jump i have to be quick because before taking off im to interview the man behind all these attractions. The how did you come up with the idea of building such a huge suspension bridge. Initial idea of hearts drawn a line was the pendulum jump and we needed half a bridge to get to the middle of the valley. And if youre going to build half a bridge you might as well build a whole one when. You come to some of the bridge was kind of a byproduct but now its topped Everything Else its. Thrill seeking and nature dont seem to be contradictory for you. Absolutely not the bridge is very well integrated and the natural landscape. Tried not to do any damage either the pendulum one or the bridge need any motors or anything. And. I mean you know its up to you youve got something thats unique here in the hadal and actually in germany how is tourism changed in the. Yard here to this new tourists are coming from all over the world. When. There are more people staying in hotels i know these people are staying longer so that they can see the british. Statistics busines when i talk to her to region is popular with both young and old people. And thats very positive for us and a local resident. You know i did almost gives them is there anything like an average visitor are tourists now younger than say ten years ago or is it about the same. Hits that. I think people were younger when we opened the mega supplies and i thought you know weve got to bridge older people are coming from groups and pensioners and the supply and the pendulum jump and the extreme activities are more for younger people. And of britches for children and the elderly or middle aged people. And i lose money not for scaredy cat and i are really secure i wont fall when i know for the first promise ok because i am a little nervous you know itll be fun. Its good to be a little scared otherwise it wouldnt be an experience you lot of guys dont say ok all right lets do this you have fun. Here we go. No turning back now as they must know when. But i dont know her. Its a kilometer long and im flying at a speed of nine Kilometers Per Hour and. Its over. Im going to need a moment to recover from this so before we continue exploring the hans you guys get to hop over to the netherlands sebastian funda is going to show us around his hometown amsterdam. Hi im sebastian and welcome to amsterdam im very happy to show you the highlights of my city and the best way to start this too is of course on about. Yeah one of the sixty five canals in amsterdam and in the center around eighty bridges so one can say that im saying this event is the norm but i rather say venice is the amsterdam of the south. It is pretty bridge. As you can see its a room rich very special and it was built thats the story because of two sisters and one lift on the one side and the other lift on the other side and because of the fact that they didnt want to war over way down there they built this bridge in between here so they could get to reach out to foster. What i really like about them is that on the one hand its just affinity with the heart of a village and on the other hand its a true metropolitan city to me it has an amazing vibe. So many bikes in amsterdam so when you hear them because they are for your easy. Out of a machine is something that people like it because we dont always have time and its just me. Im. A relatively new part of the city. You can still feel the Industrial History of this town and see it just like this crane which is. Tell room. So much creativity in this area they even made a restaurant out of shipping containers. Used to build ships but nowadays artists work here but also flea markets are being organized in the week. Imagine myself about a place. In the north. So frank you for being with me and i hope to see you here. So now im doing something a little less nerve racking hike through the for. About ten percent of the house is been declared a natural reserve receiving special care and protection thats about twenty five thousand acres made up mostly of spruce and beech forests and now in fall theyre at their most beautiful. I started off in the ils a valley according to legend you know there was a princess who ventured into a scepter reigning world ruled by the queen of the mountains the queen allowed her to leave if she promised not to reveal any secrets it was a fail to keep her word and was turned into a river. On no it started to rain well its autumn after all im here to meet National Park ranger and they asked penny i know i have been a hello there but im worried you this is helix typical for whether i could know you better have anybody have pennies you must have experienced your fair share of autumns here whats so special about the hogs region in the season you are in the us i know that its usually one of the nicest times a year your leaves are changing colors you can see in the upper areas a good one but i its a sign that the year is slowly coming to an end to all that nature is preparing for the winter will be right and everything is a bit quieter before when i just little will make a point strays are particularly beautiful at this time intend to be that side how did you figure that out the working of course everyone has different tastes and i really like beach like this one which first turns yellow and then becomes a reddish color but is also a little wonderful in fall each tree has something you know a ball but i dont. The river might be looking very calm at the moment but it was a different story in the summer there was far more rainfall than usual and some major flooding all over the region. The damage can still be seen on some of the trails in the National Park. What often and what might be the cause of such a stream rainfall to look sophie. The Climate Change is making its mark in the hearts as well. Weve got a lot of hot summers recently and temperatures are prison. And there was a lot of rainfall in a short amount of time. Were seeing more and more of this. What are other signs of Climate Change here. Dry summers are of course ideal conditions for. They are maturing earlier than usual and attacking the spruce trees in particular. The the many are what is the future looks like to expect more natural disasters you know you hope that it wont be that bad in the hearts but these downpours and extreme weather conditions are increasingly frequent. Average annual temperature on the broken used to point six degrees celsius but now its four degrees both told by your vote on your life a living so the temperature is rising. But thats just one of the reasons the park is being restructured the trees being planted today are more resistant than spruce unable to cope with the consequences of Climate Change. The part beetles have wreaked havoc here and doesnt look so great but it does accelerate the conversion of the forest beaches are being planted which used to be the main tree here. Now im going to climb to the top of shaphan stein cliff. Its almost seven hundred meters high still im getting in a good hike. The views from the top part incredible in good weather at least. Behind me is the ecker dam and over there in the fog is the heart is highest and most famous mountain the brockman im saving that for my next visit but why dont you check it out right now. Im going.

Also many other mountain plants from other parts of the world him. Next to the park and hotel is the balkan house which has been nicknamed the stasi mosque now a museum it used to be a surveillance installation for the east german secret police. Between nine hundred sixty one and nine hundred eighty nine the whole area was a military zone. The antenna were once used to spy on west german politicians for example.
