Theres a huge bicycle rental parking and Service Garage right at the central train station. Its got room for three thousand three hundred bikes very convenient especially for commuters. You can have your cycle repair it serviced or even washed its all here. And tourists like me cant even rent a bike to explore the city. Though was founded one thousand two hundred years ago this is where great european history once took place but Environmental Protection also has a great reputation and is considered a green city sounds like an exciting day to me. Well also spend time in the surrounding area known as moonstone will see lots of lovely castles and visit a diving park where you can explore and on the water world. Will also see the spectacular scenery of newfoundland sent in by a viewer. I thought the best place to start my tour was the problem enough its sort of moose just bicycle highway and circles the outskirts of the old town. Moonstone may be old but its population is young off the citys three hundred thousand inhabitants sixty thousand are students nearly everyone here writes a bike cycling paths crisscross the city and the direction of signage is excellent. The principal i mocked in the heart of the old town is considered one of the most beautiful squares in germany the gabled houses date back to the days of the hands at a clique. A splendid example of late gothic architecture st lumbee at the church. The town hall was the site of an important event in the seventeenth century. In recognition of that it was awarded the european heritage label in the Council Chamber known as the today i have an appointment with historian funs jules if to be. Reckoned what happened here in this room in sixteen forty eight. In the. Book peace of westphalia was signed in this room namely the special peace to separate peace between a spanish hapsburgs and the rebellious calvinist northern provinces of the netherlands. Lets go over here. We go beyond the barrier. This isnt a picture of a Council Chamber just as you also see it now and the swearing of the oath of the ratification of the contractual document is in this cost get. The swearing on the bible as you see on the right the dutch are raising their hands to take their oath from where they all look so alike they have the same hairstyle was that usual for the time. If you look closely they do differ of course. The dutch are wearing clothing and the spanish or wearing the diplomatic garb of the time. But what did that piece mean for europe at that time. For freedom she was the first an illusion of the peace of westphalia the great overall Peace Agreement put an end to the thirty years war. Many of spoken of the fact that it was also the birth of the International Law an essential point was recognition the absolute guarantee of the independence of sovereign nations. Start with what was significant about it. Wouldnt conflict lugosi ations were used to resolve a conflict. There was no cease fire until this Peace Agreement was reached. And you could negotiate a peace treaty without that being clear victors and vanquished. That i was unique at the time. And it. Played a big part in that event what does that mean to the minister of modern day. We fought a lot about the relevance of events back then to the present day and in my view would boils down to vis that it is possible to resolve conflicts through negotiation instead of violence stop to provide we highlight that central value in the commemorative events that take place for him to some extent that has already begun by. Well before i hop on my bike again theres still some time for all meet a local flood our viewer shows us the capital of europe white want to be there oh by the way according to a study its the city with the highest quality of life in south america.

Now id like to pay a visit to minster cathedral it was built in the thirteenth century and is a city landmark. About ninety percent of the old town was destroyed during World War Two in many large german cities the ruins were replaced by modern buildings after the war but the people who reconstructed their alltel and. The part as of once was the cathedral suffered heavy damage but thanks to the determination of the locals it was reconstructed by one thousand nine hundred fifty six by the way is a catholic bishop. Ive been given special permission to go behind the altar to the cathedral its where the bishop sits journeying mass. Time for a coffee break twice a week on wednesdays and saturdays theres a market set up front of the cathedral. You could pick up homemade delicacies and organic products much of it comes from the surroundings the moon style on. Which is also worth exploring because there are more than one hundred castles and palaces of course the best way to do a trip to the countryside is by bike. Most are not to region around minster is so flat you almost grown along with no effort her health cost of is a typical measured cost of a famous german polish was born here about two hundred years ago i met up from foster herself. She actually wrote her poems in a small Country House lucia six kilometers from the castle. Were now entering and that is a very private living and work room she called it her snail shell.

R. s pick one of his areas of responsibility is sustainability and so naturally hes come to our appointments for bike. Pick but how come everyone amongst us cyclists up isnt tied or leave School Cycling is just part of a monster lifestyle for everyone from the man to the bishop to City Employees rides a bike as far because its the fastest way to get around here. But what can traffic planners from other places learn from unstuck. And im one of wouldnt we have a wonderful infrastructure for cyclists and it starts with a promise not by careening road around the old town. There are a cycling streets and a four hundred kilometer network of cycle paths in the minster area and we have to allocate a lot of money to expand the network and thats why the also. Has also want to work for climate protection and its Energy Policy what have you done to achieve that now i mean the muslim is one measure is the change in Pension Funds for employees and staff in the city of a minister if you have a council consciously decided on diesel and c o two neutral investment or avoiding child labor avoiding businesses that invest in armaments in order to point the way to climate protection and sustainability know how to cut so thats. Climate protection has a long tradition in winstead since the late one nine hundred ninety s. Where we even had a department in the City Administration devoted to the climate and energy and we engage the public in discussions on these issues issues such as Wind Turbines we have our own combined cycle power plant and funding programs for solar energy so it is a central focus in ministers considered a green city how much is that the result of citizen involvement. Were very interested in discussing and even deciding fundamental questions with our citizens thats also because we have a very young city with Many University students but also a very committed city which weighs in on many social issues and were quite proud of that. Are you always bike or do you have a car if you have a car very rarely i drive less than five thousand kilometers a year thanks for your time. And off we go. Well and now we have to go to the wild major of canada from ottawa was traveling with some friends to newfoundland and has captured his impressions of this green island in a video heres our weekly view me.

And here comes my lift it runs on solar power once an hour this boat cross the lake to take passengers to places like bazooka im going on around trip. Unless youre a captain but not a typical captain you skipper a solar powered boat is that something youre proud of. Josh langston i say im proud. Mars are among the first solar boats in operation. To keep guns and up there you can see the number the shipyard gave us bonamassa zero one. What happens if the sun fails to shine for a longer period does the boat still operate. As here does we have are chargeable batteries down the hall. And we have enough power to travel for three days so far may i take a turn at the wheel. So here on the lake sure. I wont have an accident and be right here but. Not much can go wrong at this speed. Is about sebastian you want to take over. If you want to i dont know. Surrounding the lake is in one thousand hectare park mainstays green in more ways than one. On the water a little bit if youre interested in scuba diving about forty kilometers away from here is the place for you they have an underwater world for amateur divers.

The couple will swim a long steep reef like warms to a temple with columns that are five meters told. Them to see in nice a bit mysterious do you feel like an underwater archaeologist the water is slightly mucky and then suddenly figures if he had out of nowhere else to mix all.
