Karl Neuhaus from Switzerland creates entire landscapes from ice. The frozen fairy tale world is around 30 kilometers south of Bern and a huge tourist attraction in the region. It features ice palaces that are up to 15 metres high.

The trenchcoat has been named the number one trend for the coming season. But they‘ve actually really been away from the fashion scene. It was invented by Thomas Burberry for British soldiers in World War One and the Burberry company remains famous for its trenchcoats to this day.

Fed up with old cruise boats and their drab interiors, two party organisers from the city of Regensburg make over a Danube pleasure boat with the help of Porsche design.

Costas Varotsos is famous for his huge sculptures and installations made of glass, steel and stone. His latest exhibition Utopia is showing in Athens until the end of February.

Fashion designer Christian Lacroix has designed costumes for a Berlin production of the baroque opera Agrippina by Georg Friedrich Händel.

There has been a lot of snow here in Germany this year and most traditional wooden sleds are sold out. But there are alternatives around and euromaxx sent out reporter matthias Stamm to risk his life testing some of them.
