of the light traffic and renee sound serious. the beginnings of today's complex date back to the thirteenth century the council's heyday came three hundred years later. in the nineteenth century the jukes of coworkers established an important art connection in the castle. it includes a large armory. and a collection of carriages and sleighs. the nearly two thousand historical glasses are

visible from afar it dominates the region so a visit to the castle is worthwhile not only because of its many art treasures but also for the view that come out. of. a big topic is that beer the region has the highest brewery density in the world the one million inhabitants have about two hundred breweries and more than one thousand different beers to choose from many circular walks leap from beer chapel superior to anything else it's the franconian switzerland the breweries are especially close to each other the community is even mentioned in the guinness book of world records the circular road here is fourteen kilometers long takes about four hours and connects four breweries. and. the first stage leads to the start up brewery. they have dark beer. but. in general i prefer light but this dark one is really delicious. breweries hiker's pass you get a stamp in it for every brewery you visit and when you have all four stamps you get a certificate as a franconia an honorary beer drinker here's our stamp to start with. with the hiking pass i continue to the county boy. and the guy choice breweries spirit tastes different from sweet to smoky to tart they've got everything a lot. in the brewery restaurant i meet beer creme christina i have a few questions but first of all we order a beer and something to eat. thank you. and i'd like an off the sit down and rest put together with it. all have the two. while we wait for a meal you can take a look at the surroundings this is located in what's known as franconian switzerland and there you'll find case castle ruins and bizarre rock formations. franconian switzerland picturesque river violence alternates with woodlands and limestone cracks. going to villages national in the country science like this one. in the portlock valley. the bizarre rock formations are especially popular with climbers. there are also lots of trials for hikers you go up and down hill through sinkholes and past council rooms. there's a mysterious place hidden in the forest here possibly of pre-christian cult site. regularly gives guided tours of the natural wonders in franconian switzerland. i thought that though we had a high in the druids grove these are basically a labyrinth of rocks. it was probably originally a cave system. in closing for you now there's no roof to the cave anymore so you can see all the rocks and it's definitely quite a rarity. office with a gun safe in itself fun. just. as they have almost this was a cia during the late jurassic period and that's where the name franconian giora comes from this feeling that there was many million years ago and these layers of limestone were deposited in the sea. to discuss how the rocks originated. and it's just those rocks that break the region its name because it reminded people of a swiss alpine landscape crabs violet caves and small hamlets bit of switzerland in germany but franconian in character. but of. another beer. and there are certain the more you can think of what is this beer the opening grab and don't wind up drinking. from the alphabet of ringing out which is a six generation family run business one i love this. one this is a light. color in the glass glass and it's lovely delicate creamy head because it's really a treatment we should try it out so absolutely i'm all for that so more. like . i'm sure people who would agree that if i could. how would you describe recording in cuisine so it would have good question franconian cuisine is hearty as a does it go is includes me then dumplings are served to accompany it. often it's actually cooked in a beer source because like this one sport this is. what we often find a partner. pork roast is also a hearty dish that lines your stomach for the next beer sure the beer cream what's your actual job day in day out that's pretty good as it's been missed i'm not a big twenty four hours a day actually i'm a full time teacher absolution after school is over and at weekends and during school holidays when i travel through my realm is be a queen. and now throughout germany to raise the region's profile and spread the word about its high quality beer and. indeed it and also. already had a bureau to aid you as an expert might have a tip on how to not get too confused if you know what i mean. you know what's on your mind. as a risk assessment it is important to line your stomach eyes with a dish like sauerkraut. there's a saying that you shouldn't drink beer before four pm but that doesn't apply it with frank and often we're going to. have people often drink beer that morning get togethers. but you don't want to drink on an empty stomach. if i know l.d.s. an event where i have to drink several beers would have been off and i think water in between to thin out the alcohol. now works well. for two men or undone tapazole conclude thanks and before i forget if i've got my hiking pass and there's still a stamp missing. then can you get that for me. you know it's us

of history and it became a unesco world heritage site twenty five years ago school when the stuff we see please come into the cathedral with me now so good. so visit we're now in bumbag cathedral the first cathedral here was commissioned in one thousand four by the emperor haile and his wife who were later canonized. what's here now is the third cathedral from the thirteenth century it was billed as a pilgrimage church rather than a parish church so the focus is on the tomb of the saints. so of us what you see here is the only marble piece in the church on the lid are the recumbent figures of the two saints. on its side are legends so when sit down here from here you have a lovely view of the back horseman what was so unusual about it and well first it was the first life size statues since antiquity if the writer were standing up he'd be about my size one meter sixty five and about the average height for his times as i'm outside. whom he represents remains a mystery. bombeck was billed as a center of ecclesiastical power built like rome on seven hills the city is therefore also called for. the cathedral square was the political heart of comeback to this day there are magnificent buildings such as the idaho and the noir is the dense. down in the valley the citizens settled in today city center so mission it's here and now we're at the own town hall we've just come from the cathedral and episcopal town district and when we cross the river we'll be in the middle class island distractions the town hall was meant to link both parts of the town and that's why they built it in the middle of the river. and then first of all just giving bum back another landmark. as you know you can send us your travel videos but we also love to visit you and this time we met the musician

end of july to the end of august wagner offense from all over the world come to the famous by a wide festival. loudness fest in the house pool festival theater in by white. every year celebrities and v.i.p.'s grace its red carpet. it's as much a part of the festival as richard wagner's music. does is probably mainly because of this there's his acoustic sound because it's a unique all frantic venue and this theater was built by and for richard wagner well over one hundred years ago now and it still standing in the same place and basically functions just as it did in the nineteenth century view. that must be a major part of its fascination and that's when i was among. the pirate festival is a media event the british era parents prince charles queen sylvia of sweden and german chancellor angela merkel have all been hand. celebrities and journalists batna would have loved it. the festival keeps up with the times. from two thousand and eight to twenty eleven one production a year was publicly screened on festival square. since two thousand and nine there have been children's versions of the wagner's operas. and since twenty twelve one production a year has been streamed live to cinemas. but the many thousand i love as there is nothing better than being right there in by right. this december whole package is fabulous the atmosphere and of course the theater itself it comes in what if i can't put it into words it's just a feeling. that's what's wonderful about music and art that they grip you emotionally. fast you don't want to miss it and you have to learn wagner and
