Dream event legit. And a river that unites it all. I meant by a blog on the lawn a tributary of the river running. Through my plans a 2 day canoe tour around the one valley. And. Im there were excited about what awaits me on this trip the river the landscapes and that challenges ill encounter along the way i have 25 kilometer the head of me from via walk all the way to a town called one could. Go on the show we catch up with our globe trotter on his adventure and kerrigan step. One of our viewers shows us the sights and sounds of moscow. And we take you on a tour of frankfurt. But for now im. Just like many towns along the line this small city to has a spectacular palace this one was built in the 17th century and thats considered one of the most Remarkable Growth castles of the region. From here i get a great view of whats coming next and heading down to the river and into the water. So this is your motor on the level its a single blade on stage public on one hand up here the other down here place it in the water and. By there are any typical beginners mistakes ive never really done this then yet if you go under some low drainage then paddle out backwards this is you dont want to get caught up in the branches otherwise you could caps are just wood the word is getting from there my best to avoid that. For that hard life. Your hold on to the boat sit down and thats it. For us. Oh my god oh my god dont you dare flip us over. We usually dont worry just let go its normal for it to walk as no flowers it does and its about. To go. And because ive got quite the trip ahead of me ive enlisted a little support my producer andreas has agreed to help me paddle. It seems like were not the only ones who have heard about the beauty of the law on groups of schoolkids keep us company on the 1st stretch. So much still that we even get into a little traffic jam after crossing germanys only boat tunnel we have to go through luck. On the other side peace and quiet the region along the line isnt just famous for its castles and fortresses its well known for its beautiful landscapes to. Getting back to the castles here is a figure that once surprise you according to the European Castles Institute there are about 25000 in germany many of them arent into going to state anymore but they all still have that i mistakenly romantic. Visitors come from all over the world to see germanys Many Councils and palaces. They stand as witnesses to a bygone era. And many date back to the dark and mysterious middle ages they were mostly designed as fortresses overlooking rivers all positioned in highland areas. Often destroyed in fighting some have been rebuilt many times over. Most of the consuls in germany are privately owned either inherited or bought. The council like this one in the west an eyeful region requires a lot of money to maintain. Built castle is one of germanys most outstanding gems a genuine medieval fortress that has never been destroyed. Tourism provides a key source of income to help for the upkeep there are guided tours every 10 minutes the council has belonged to the else family for more than 850 years. Because of the book and our generation has a duty to pass on the cost in a better state than they received it was so obvious so weve worked hard to restore the roof knew the windows and doors of the office. Jobs that need doing it. In this way but theres still a lot to do and there will always be was for me and for the next generation who for the next are going to thats. The need by listening consul is also privately owned horses going to listen board to the consul and its now restoring it in a labor of love the former teacher is investing a lot of money and effort in the project. Mushroom before you do have to be a little bit crazy to take on Something Like that so. Some of the supporting beams in the great whole rotten and the consul was in danger of collapse. So germanys monument Protection Authority came to the rescue along with the local authorities. And its getting this to you that moneys being invested here to preserve a historical monument. Its in the Public Interest of the public funds are going into it but without the owners financial commitment it would have been impossible. Without the love and dedication of the console owners these historical gems would surely been noticed. The landscape around the line is truly impressive and as intruders were being carefully observed by the locals came my looks like we have a new friend to. Bloodlet home ways. We survived our 1st day of canoeing and their reward will be spending the night at this riverside campsite in a tiny wooden hut. Tell us cramer shows me my home. For the night its all hopeless the food the hugs are mainly for a canoe or to stay one or 2 nights and want to have some home comforts which guns often come for petition or dont want their tent on the boat things stay off the boat yeah or on a bike about all the. So step this way. All. A lot more comfortable than a tent well these are yeah no comparison to your average town to. Night is falling on the lawn and the campsite too has calmed down. Before i hopefully get the well deserved rest i want to invite you guys to catch up with our globe trotter his most recent travels took him to central asia to kurdistan and there he had tons of fun hiking horseback riding and discovering the countrys cuisine of course. So numb and welcome to. The country which is defined by this is why in this episode we are focusing on how to introduce which account to local life and going to the local cuisine. Kyrgyzstan is naturally isolated by high you mountainous terrain which has helped preserve its asian culture the country gained its independence as a nation state after the breakup of the soviet union in 1991. When. The horse with. No other horses take a well deserved break or we can enjoy a few. Cool like. What you see here is a true nomad camp this is where people live they have to force here they have to go and cows over there this is the life that people used to have even if they were actually mountain nomads is that 80 percent of the country calm out and so they packed up their camp and set it up in the next really been at what they wanted to. Welcome to kind of cool the city would respond better russians a strategic location to explore everything which is south east the current cold today its in a strategic location fall out of love us because of its proximity to the highest mountains of the country. Sometimes you see to get food to stop with this week you come to the market youre with us and were doing the work youve got here the markets. With us ok thats right so what we have here is food and its basically. A bit like chinese muslims who live here. Thank you thank you ok so much like. The target called muscle which is basically french fries meat pickles you come bust on your own and again golly. The next stop is to have cats and this is also how i feel like everybody is that here for sure ok and sometimes like here. Im doing it one day track here with me and im its called the yoga looks like because of the village town thats named no the lot. So its a fall truck 6 kilometers. Just talk this through were going to go up if they. Want to take on the last too long. You know the thing with hiking for me is. That i always meet a good mutual make it worth it. And was the kind of. I would say mission accomplished. And this is it from she just found me youre still. Here in the countryside along the line its easy to fall right into a whole new bridge that you go to bed early and get up early after all and still have a long stretch ahead of me. Oh damn lets go. Home. Day 2 starts just like day one and its very relaxed not a person in sight just us and the river. Of. The serenity on the river really is Something Else thanks to the current and my cocaptain i can take some time to put my feet up. On the lawn you have to pass through plenty of blocks and since theyre not manned anymore you have to open them yourselves. Look for her and wait for help. Just open the gate. And keep paddling. In germany theres a popular slogan good it was here its used to describe the places this well traveled poet graced with his presence did an internship here on the lawn while he was in law school and it seems he did a lot of hiking here he was amazed by the quote unquote unspeakable beauty of nature to be fair he was also very much in love at the time the lady in question turned out to be the inspiration for the protagonist in his 1st novel the sorrows of young. And why am i telling you about all of this well because right now im going to take you on a lovely excursion to good birthplace france and only about 60 kilometers from here is definitely worth a visit and not just for a layover i would say was a report. For time mine is well known for its story line its banks. But theyre also the home for timber townhouses that surround the city hall a building known as the room and. Frankfurt is the leading Cultural Center and it hosts the Worlds Largest book fair. The fact it was 1st held over 500 years ago after you hunted squid and bag invented the printing press. Today used that she was just a stones. Throw from left of your handful of. Fun forward. Back in the 18th century when good was born from ford only had about 30000 residents. But it was the coronation city of the kaisers of the Holy Roman Empire and as a free Imperial City it had some autonomy. But above all it was a center of trade thanks to the trade routes and the trade failed to show how destructive for. The house where good was born is no newseum during 100000 visitors a year. The house has been restored to its original with great attention to detail. The famous writer lived here for 25 years this is also where he wrote his a pistol or a novel the sorrows of young. He wrote that in frankfurt and it was revolution of his isnt hind songs revolutionized poetry and his play goods from burleson and also written for the 1st transformed german drama for. A few meters from good us house you come to St Pauls Church in 1980 became the seat of the Frankfurt National Assembly the 1st freely elected parliament for the whole of germany so its considered the birthplace of german democracy. Time for to mine is also well known for its museums no less than 15 cultural institutions lying there with a mind forming the Frankfurt Museum embankment. It includes germanys Oldest Museum foundation the shade and was a. Collection of a 700 years of european art history from the 14th century right up to the present day. This is whats going to go on when it was founded 200 years ago in accordance with the will left by a wealthy frankfurt banker named your 100 jewish data he was an art collector which was not unusual in the age of a. Mightnt. He saw origin as a key part of his role in society from foresee although frankfurt was a free a material city there was no bishop and no royalty living here needs to nudist so its always been the local people who have shaped frankfurt and to this day this foundation relies on the huge support it receives from the people of frankfurt to and from put up a position. So look beyond frankfurt its modern skyline with its banks and office tower as and you find a rich cultural history. Ive arranged to meet klein on the banks of the lon he was raised around here and hes shake the ariens development in recent years through his work as a geographer enter as an consultant. Family is underway here we saw lots of bikers and paddlers it was all very calm and seemed extremely a daily is that really what its like is looking so if yes i design i think the non is one of the most delicate rivers in germany to explore by boat or by bike ones and thats why so many people comment on it and it remains unchanged you can really relax and slow down from the commotion on everyday life. On the line isnt quite as well known as the rhine or the moselle rivers especially outside of germany do you think that can or should change or is it fine the way it is. The only. Reason. I think its fine as it is thats what quite well known among the real commitment as you can see from the number of boat rental firms here and if we could have a bleak race or profile a bit of money michael its about enough of them and wed certainly like to be. Better known for hiking under and most people think of walking along the rhine think you know but id like them to consider the lawn 2. 100 baskets and so what are the challenges for the future you already said you want to promote the hiking trails but what else is on your list. Or to quote it if here we want to work on Quality Control when you market an area tourism and tell everyone to come then you have to make sure you have the necessary infrastructure you have to have that it made today areas where canoeists can get in and out of there both. Of those places you need. Public transport places to. Sustainable tourism means ensuring people dont get out in the middle of a Conservation Area and cause damage still a lot to do but it sounds like a lot of fun. Obviously to absolutely and i love it when visitors like what they see. This bridge and film are and this statue of st john of me are very special theyre made of so called larn larval which was mined in this area for centuries axel becker is an expert and takes me to a former quarry millions of years ago this was a reef in the ocean the continental drift carried that north along with fossilized the creatures and settlements. And here you can see this is a coral. Reef and this is a sea shell. Put on it after i mean youre not convinced 380000000 years ago our continent was on the equator and then the continents moved and where were standing now was 20 Degrees South of the equator and on this long journey away from the equator tectonic cracks developed fault lines because there was pressure here you see these regular structures that the stone was under a lot of tectonic stress and then fused together again through cement they were to go back and thats when did people here start mining law in marble. The 1st records are from 5099 were very proud we can say it was still the 16th century. And that was the start of the barong era when marble became popular rule there was a demand for large colorful structures that appealed to the sun from the business. So they realized they could make money here by the 17th century marble was in use around the world at the start of the 20th century marble from here was used in the Empire State Building on the moscow subway all over. As always on the south this time to where sharing the travel experiences of one of our viewers mari i am from karachi in pakistan travel to moscow and so does the video of her favorite spots the red square the t. V. Tower and a boat right on the mosque check out the russian capital in summer. My canoe tour on the lawn is slowly coming to an end the last of the 25 kilometers under the blistering sun seem to be the longest. Time if theres a local you dont. Do the. Good things you cant get long along the lawn you can always tell where exactly you are by the impressive buildings you come across this is a room called castle from the 12th century it was built in the middle ages to protect a River Crossing its a ruin now but still retains its charm and roll goal is also where my tour comes to an end. Who. 0 lean. You know people often say than journeys more important than the destination and this time the journey really was a lot of fun and helped me discover a whole new way of travelling a more relaxed one far away from the train schedules and traffic jams and one that really allowed me to get in touch with nature rather than just passing through highly recommend.
