How does and become art yes how does sand become art we have these big crates which are prepared and filled with sand and water then the mixture is compressed into the next added on top. And then next when it solidified the artist can start working on it from the top work from the top right down to the bottom of the hour about if there isnt only sand dont you spray it with anything to make it stick together. Let them know it really is just sand and thats why theres a roof over our heads to protect the sound from the elements its simply compressed and the artists many many years of experience in dealing with this material they wouldnt actually thats the secret to going home doesnt suit us. But not the only one the artists also use a special kind of sand.

And i hope you enjoy touring my city. And i hope to see you soon. Ok. Come down to the. Is a long island the beach stretches out over 42 kilometers. In the hinterland youll find forests meadows and lakes the island is separated from the mainland by the octopus informed by the river of pain overflowing into the baltic sea. All the places ive seen so far were full of tourists now i want to discover all saddams more quiet parts so im off to the hinterland and im treating myself to a truly special experience ill discover the area on horseback and over the dome there are many riding stables ive chosen this one in odds on a group of locals had planned a tour and theyve invited me to join. This is adriano my best buddy for today or at least i hope so before hitting the road we need to curry the horses. Saddled them. And put their bits and. Call most ready but safety 1st. Oh gosh i dont like her so long i dont 123. Made us do this. First we need to cross town ive been in the saddle a couple of times already so i was able to join the tour right away but if youve never sat on a horse youll have to do a couple of practice rounds at the stables or let someone else take the reins in any case this is a great way to discover nature. Here in the hinterland there arent nearly as many tourists as there were at the beach and in the resorts nature and beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see. The 1st. Before i get too romantic we decided to spin it up a little for the track is as far as ill go this time around. The leave the gallop to the pros but i do have to say this area is the perfect spot to go horseback riding but we could even take a quick dip with the animals. To move. Move. To. Now if youre interested in military history you should take a trip to the other side of the island to peenemunde during National Socialism it was the site of an Army Research center specialized on developing new weapons the historic Technical Museum reappraise us this history what. Are convinced still must hurt us shows me around the premises. Now we come into the rocket which made peenemunde a famous the one most people associate with this black and white rocket known as the v. 2 or retribution weapon to aggregate fear as it was called here. Yet how destructive was a. Little just wipe out a single building it leveled half the neighborhood especially when buildings were hit directly the impact was already devastating for the thought of it wasnt as precise as. Originally planned so it was only used to. Talk its meant big cities. The v 2 was launched about 3200 times targeting mostly london and more than 8000 people died as a result of the attacks. Take an elevator to the roof of the museum in order to get an idea of the extent of the area occupied by the former military training center. To this day a big part of northern tip is guarded exclusion zone to protect people from left over ammunition buried in the ground. Between 1943 and 44 the majority of the center was destroyed in allied airstrikes what was left was the Army ResearchCenters Power plant in 1901 the museum describes the history of the center technologic milestones as well as the horrific and inhumane sacrifices made in the name of scientific advancement. Was europes Largest MilitaryResearch Facility 14312000 people they had different professions only a few were engineers there were heaps of administrators a huge bureaucratic machine went along with it and many others who werent here by choice. Thats forced laborers p. O. W. s and prisoners and concentration camps many of them lost their lives working on the weapon serial production the museum also conveys the idea that the v. 2 should not only be seen as a destructive weapon that killed thousands its launch was also a watershed moment for the evolution of modern space technology. It was the 1st manmade object to reach space wasnt a. Historic day. For cation day in germany but this was in 92 the rocket took off and reached a peak of 84. 5. It has become of back then the 50 mile marker senses the boundary of space thats roughly 80 kilometers so the gateway to space was really pushed open here. On which side of history would you place the v. 2. Minutes really a tough question its a balancing act we try to perform here in the museum too it was the mother of all rockets but here it was primarily about Weapons Development off shore they motivated the engineers by saying after weve won the war with it well go to the moon but they could only say that behind closed doors. Indeed and how do you go about it here in the museum with this heritage that very much means to be put into context for the visitors. We cant do right by everyone your technicians are often disappointed that we dont explain how all the plants function than say just a concentration camp the morial on the other hand others accuse us of glorifying nazi engineers and their technology. Its hard to please everybody but we try to find a middle ground and if were attacked from both sides then we know we found the middle ground and we hope to continue doing that in the future in the new permanent exhibition were planning. Peenemunde it is a place in history that offers a stark contrast to the beach holiday now its your turn again its time for our weekly v well as always well show you travel impressions of one of our viewers this week we got mail from new york who visited mexico into.
