Euromaxx - Highlights of the Week

Walking on water

The latest installation by Bulgarian artist Christo is just as spectacular as the previous works that he created together with his late wife Jeanne-Claude. Floating Piers are yellow walkways on Italy’s Lake Iseo.

An island getaway


Ralph Justus Maus calls a luxurious thatched house on the island of Sylt his own. It has two living rooms, four bedrooms and ample space for visitors. The house is estimated to be worth 7 million euros.

A gigantic music box

For months, inventor Niklas Roy has been working on a gigantic contraption that will turn any average person into a musician. The creator himself admits that, while the machine might fascinate, it's totally useless.

White nights in Saint Petersburg
