0:00:06 > 0:00:09This week, treasure hunting in Poland.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12So you think personally that there is something within
0:00:12 > 0:00:12these mountains?
0:00:12 > 0:00:13We think so.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14Maybe gold.
0:00:14 > 0:00:15Keeping tabs on your bags.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19There are an estimated 23 million items of luggage that are lost
0:00:19 > 0:00:22all around the world each year.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25And rebuilding an aviation classic.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27It's an old aeroplane.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30It's designed 100 years ago.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35It's very exciting.
0:01:05 > 0:01:12The autumn colours of south-west Poland.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Peaceful now, but just over 70 years ago, this
0:01:16 > 0:01:22was a very different place.
0:01:22 > 0:01:27I'm arriving in a town called Walbrzych.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The Czech Republic is only about half an hour's drive away,
0:01:30 > 0:01:32and in the closing days of the Second World War,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35this place was on the front line as Soviet forces advanced
0:01:35 > 0:01:41on the occupying German army.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I'm looking for something very special, but it's a bit
0:01:54 > 0:01:57muddy and rocky.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01I think this is actually it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Somewhere around here, so local legend goes,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12a train filled with gold was abandoned by the Germans
0:02:12 > 0:02:14during the closing months of World War II.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16It's quite clear to see the train lines there,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19but some people believe that this is where the Nazis actually ran
0:02:19 > 0:02:26a train line right into that hill.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31This summer, the diggers moved in after radar scanning picked out
0:02:31 > 0:02:33some suspicious shapes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37But in the end, the search had to be abandoned.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41What looked like a train was nothing more than a rock formation.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Do you believe that there's something around here?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00But there are people who truly believe there is something
0:03:00 > 0:03:05hidden in these hills?
0:03:06 > 0:03:11Deep beneath the hills here, the Germans used thousands of forced
0:03:11 > 0:03:13labourers to build a series of fortified underground tunnels.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16They called it the Riese Project.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22Much of what's left is open to the public to explore.
0:03:22 > 0:03:28The last tour groups of the day are still down here.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31But Lukasz takes me off the trail.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33It's amazing, isn't it?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34So this is original track?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Original track.
0:03:43 > 0:03:43Amazing tunnels.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47My gosh.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48That is remarkable, isn't it?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50What is this room here?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So tell me about the Riese Project.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06What was it all about?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Despite this summer's failed to dig, news of the legend
0:04:27 > 0:04:29of the gold train has spread.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34And the area has seen a tourist boom.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40All three of the hotels in the grounds of Ksiaz Castle
0:04:40 > 0:04:43were fully booked when we arrived.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46A clear indication of many people's enduring fascination with this dark
0:04:46 > 0:04:51period of Poland's past.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54You can see I've got a couple of souvenirs here, very
0:04:54 > 0:04:55heavily branded indeed.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59We've got the old legendary Nazi gold train coming out
0:04:59 > 0:05:01of the castle there.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So it's quite a big pull here, especially for the tourists.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07So you think personally that there is something
0:05:07 > 0:05:07within these mountains?
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Yes, I think it's something hiding.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Something underground.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15They will find some kind of treasures, lots of paintings,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I think, maybe gold.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18I don't know.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21It's possible.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04The castle is the biggest attraction locally, and it,
0:06:04 > 0:06:08too, is connected to the Riese Project.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11The deep tunnels 50 metres below here are being opened up
0:06:11 > 0:06:13to tourists next year.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17So it's believed that Adolf Hitler was meant to come to Ksiaz Castle
0:06:17 > 0:06:20and use it as a stronghold, but he never made it,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22but it didn't stop him from fortifying structurally
0:06:22 > 0:06:26some of the rooms here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:32It is estimated that 6 million Poles died during World War II.
0:06:32 > 0:06:353 million of them from the country's Jewish community, which was
0:06:35 > 0:06:37decimated during the Holocaust.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41And the news of the search for the train has led to an outcry
0:06:41 > 0:06:42from the World Jewish Congress.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Gold and other valuables were often stolen from Polish dues
0:06:46 > 0:06:46when they were sent to the Nazi death camps.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55-- Jews.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58There is a call to return any stolen property if the train
0:06:58 > 0:06:59is ever discovered.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Under current Polish law, it would remain the property
0:07:01 > 0:07:02of the Polish government.
0:07:02 > 0:07:08This is what they expect is hidden somewhere in these mountains.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Despite the controversy, a whole tourist industry surrounding
0:07:10 > 0:07:16the missing train has sprung up in Walbrzych.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Walter will take you inside the apartment of Agent Eagle,
0:07:23 > 0:07:25who is trying to solve the mystery of the gold train.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29The year is 1944, and you are going to have to escape the room
0:07:29 > 0:07:31within one hour before the Nazis arrive.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34So, follow me this way.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36So, follow me this way.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38We are going to close the door behind you.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Your game starts and your time starts whenever the
0:07:41 > 0:07:41music stops playing.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43There are people waiting inside.
0:07:43 > 0:07:43Good luck.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Thank you, thank you.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Although critics say that the commercialisation
0:07:58 > 0:08:01of the legend undermines the true horrors of the Nazi occupation,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05others argue that things like the escape room and treasure
0:08:05 > 0:08:08hunt engage and educate a younger generation who have no direct
0:08:08 > 0:08:13link with the conflict.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Within the hour!
0:08:19 > 0:08:23Either way, whether the train exists or not, it's hoped that the legend
0:08:23 > 0:08:27will encourage more people to visit this fascinating part of Poland,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and learn about what happened here during the closing days
0:08:30 > 0:08:38of the Second World War.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41And if you're thinking of visiting Poland in the near future,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44here's our rundown of things you should know.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Look out for the new basement of Warsaw's striking
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Palace of Culture.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55It was a present to Poland from Stalin, and is loved
0:08:55 > 0:08:57and hated in equal measure.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00In recent years, groups have been allowed in to see the
0:09:00 > 0:09:02charismatic basement levels.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05You can explore the Gothic hall, the massive foundations
0:09:05 > 0:09:11and a special room built to house the palace cats.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13A major new highlight has to be the Green Velo,
0:09:13 > 0:09:17a brand-new cycling route that takes in the entirety of
0:09:17 > 0:09:21Poland's eastern border.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It passes through the beautiful Masurian Lakes and skirts
0:09:23 > 0:09:26untouched forests.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29And this year, they even made parts of it glow in the dark.
0:09:29 > 0:09:34And in the next month or so, Krakow will be buzzing
0:09:34 > 0:09:40with people heading for the big Christmas markets.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43It's got all the usual festive food, drinks and gifts,
0:09:43 > 0:09:56but it's Poland's biggest.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06After weeks on the road, we finally made it to Rome.
0:10:06 > 0:10:13A place where food, drink and taking it easy are top priorities.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16The Italians seem to have life all figured out.
0:10:28 > 0:10:28Grazie.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Ciao.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Ciao.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Perfect.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50To you.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52My new favourite after-dinner drink.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Still to come:
0:12:22 > 0:12:26High-tech ways to stop an age-old problem.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Tommy's here to test new ways of tracking your luggage.
0:12:28 > 0:12:36And we watch as an aviation classic gets a new lease of life.
0:12:46 > 0:12:46The Travel Show.
0:12:46 > 0:12:59Your essential guide wherever you're headed.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Hello and welcome to Global Gadgets.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Right now, it's all about a good set of wireless headphones,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and ones that give you great sound quality as well as superb
0:13:07 > 0:13:10connectivity when you're making phone calls as well.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15There are lots to choose from, but guess what?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18You can now add one more to the list.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20The Jabra Halo Smart wireless Bluetooth headphones are ultimately
0:13:20 > 0:13:23a two in one hands-free device for your mobile phone.
0:13:23 > 0:13:35It doubles up as a music player.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39My only real criticism with these is that you might not get a secure
0:13:39 > 0:13:42fit when you pop them into your ears, which leads
0:13:42 > 0:13:43to a reduction in sound quality.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47There is a handy little app that goes with the headphones that
0:13:47 > 0:13:50will tell you exactly how much battery life you've got left
0:13:50 > 0:13:54in them, so it will give you 17 hours of talk time and 15 hours
0:13:54 > 0:13:56of music listening time, which is ample for when you're
0:13:56 > 0:13:58on a long haul flight.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01And because of the design and the way it's shaped,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03it's ideal for people that are on the go, either
0:14:03 > 0:14:05on their travels or even in the gym.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I've arrived in my hotel room with my bag.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Everything is wonderful.
0:14:09 > 0:14:09But get this.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13There are an estimated 23 million items of luggage that are lost
0:14:13 > 0:14:14all around the world each year.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17And what do you have to do when you realise your
0:14:17 > 0:14:18case hasn't turned up?
0:14:18 > 0:14:23You've got to go to the airport desk or an airline official and ask them
0:14:23 > 0:14:24where they think your case might be.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well, no more, mister airline man or woman, I don't need you!
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Because I can tell you where my case is.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Because I've got one of these.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34The LugLoc luggage locator is a tracking device that
0:14:34 > 0:14:37uses GPS technology much like the way your mobile phone
0:14:37 > 0:14:38network contract your location.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The makers claim it's the first baggage tracker that also complies
0:14:41 > 0:14:48with regulations set by airlines.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52In order for the luggage to be able to tell you of its whereabouts,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55it needs to send you a message, which is why it comes
0:14:55 > 0:14:58with its own SIM card, and that means a monthly
0:14:58 > 0:15:00subscription cost, which varies depended upon the service
0:15:00 > 0:15:01plan that you go for.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04When you consider the cost of the contents of your luggage,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07plus the luggage itself, that might be money well spent.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Or maybe not.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11If you don't travel so regularly, you might want to opt
0:15:11 > 0:15:14for the tracking devices that don't come with a fixed monthly cost.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18When it comes to the Travel Show, we want you guys to keep it locked,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20which is exactly what this is all about.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23The makers claim it's the world's first Bluetooth-enabled padlock.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26The outer shell of the lock is made from stainless steel that protects
0:15:26 > 0:15:27all its internal digital components.
0:15:27 > 0:15:33Inside are all the buttons, sensors and batteries.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36This lock aims to keep water, mud and other outside elements
0:15:36 > 0:15:37from damaging the internal mechanisms.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Now, the whole point in travel gadgets and developments
0:15:40 > 0:15:42in technology is to make your life easier.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And this is perfect for someone who is prone to losing their keys
0:15:45 > 0:15:49or doesn't want to fiddle around with those little sets to try
0:15:49 > 0:15:50and get their case open.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51This is sturdy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52This is chunky.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56In fact, so much so that the lock is too big to fit through most
0:15:56 > 0:16:02standard Ziploc holders.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Mobile phone cameras and video quality is just getting better
0:16:05 > 0:16:07all the time, making the need for camcorders
0:16:07 > 0:16:07virtually nonexistent.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11So why not up your game and show what you are really
0:16:11 > 0:16:13about and release your inner Spielberg with one of these?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16The universal smartphone man from Steadicam is adjustable
0:16:16 > 0:16:27to securely fit most handsets.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It basically steadies your shot like the professionals.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Now, I'm no cameraman.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Unfortunately, I have people around me who are.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But even they have said that this is a little bit tricky to master.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39But isn't that where the joy lies?
0:16:39 > 0:16:42You slowly get better and better at using something like this,
0:16:42 > 0:16:44and then you can show off your travel memories
0:16:44 > 0:16:54in a way you may previously not have been able to.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57And to end this week, we had to Switzerland,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00where a plane designed a hundred years ago is once again
0:17:00 > 0:17:04taking to the skies.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07The Junkers F13 was the world's first all metal commercial aircraft,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and one last flew in the 1960s.
0:17:09 > 0:17:15Today, most of those that remain are stored in museums.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18But now, a team of engineers have built an F13 from scratch
0:17:18 > 0:17:37in the hope of selling these aviation icons to wealthy buyers.
0:17:37 > 0:17:37It's very exciting.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42It's great to fly with the F13.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43It's an old aeroplane.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47It's designed 100 years ago.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And it's impressive aircraft to reach an age of 100 years.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51It flies quite good.
0:17:51 > 0:18:11Of course, a lot of small problems, but it's going fine.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22I was born in 1923, and flew first in 1929 on the 8th of September
0:18:22 > 0:18:24was my first flight at all.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26That's me over there, the little boy and my
0:18:26 > 0:18:27mother in the background.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29And two more passengers, and the flight captain.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I was six and a half.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Six and a half, and I was just able to write my name in the flight book.
0:18:36 > 0:18:57That was all.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11We just see these five F13s in museums, but we don't
0:19:11 > 0:19:13have a complete set of drawings.
0:19:13 > 0:19:33We went to Paris to the Musee de l'Air in Le Bourget.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35And we scanned the F13 with a very modern scanner,
0:19:35 > 0:19:56so we got 3-D drawings, which is something incredible.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01To enter into the cockpit, it is not so easy.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02It's quite sportive.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06You go here, put your feet on the seat and you
0:20:06 > 0:20:20are in like that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22You have no computers, no electrical ways.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24No part of things that are electric powered.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27It's very different.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It open, not a lot of instruments, no computer.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31It's good.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36It's working.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38That was more than noisy.
0:20:38 > 0:20:52The old engines, there were quite louder than they are today.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53It's another flying.
0:20:53 > 0:20:59With the F13, you have to fly with your feeling.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02You smell the aircraft, you have an open cockpit,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04you smell the aircraft, you can hear the aircraft,
0:21:04 > 0:21:05that's different to other aeroplanes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:18And you have to feel it, and you will fly like you feel.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I'm afraid that's all the time we have for this week,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24but coming up next week: Carmen's in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
0:21:24 > 0:21:27as the naval base there prepares to commemorate the 75th anniversary
0:21:27 > 0:21:48of the devastating bombing raid by Japanese forces.
0:21:48 > 0:21:492400 people were killed in that attack.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52It prompted the US to join the Second World War.
