He explains to me how difficult it was to get a place to stay in this Winter Sports center during the communist era. Came to during east german times. Well an east german times many of the people who came had connections because it wasnt generally advertised by the us what it might. We had lots of places up here but you needed a bit of luck to get one. You see over there the oval the whole of it with a 1000 seats that used to be the biggest cafeteria in east germany. I remember that on ascension or fathers day at 7 am about 3000 men would be sitting here waiting for it to open at 7 or 8 oclock so they get a seat and beer or other alcoholic drinks. Or. I can remember that was the highlight of. My life. I can tell from the snow measuring column in that Climate Change is also right here you can see that there used to be more snow in the past and in years gone by the small town in the thuringian forest was not just the well known Winter Travel destination. Of. If were going to talk about all the who will have to go back in history a little and talk about the sports practiced over 100 years ago john were standing here by a well known spot the old golf course over a century ago it was an important place for the high and mighty to get together.

In 2017 new ice rink was opened on the site of the old natural i stadium. Now skaters can race around the artificial all winter just to give up to him and get their guys hit with a new stadium especially the ones who remember the old one. This isnt they are its a dream come true that we finally got the stadium and if the kids can learn to play hockey again here as far as im concerned it would be absolutely great. To. Be used in germanys next traditional Winter Travel destination oval both in the syringe and forest east germanys top athletes who used to come here.

Over those gargantuan indoor ski haul is the one and only of its kind in europe heres skiers can hit the slopes even during snow this winter is. The highest winter vacation spot in eastern germany is. In the war mountains. Given enough snow for the fish to back off his runs for both skiers and snowboarders it even has a special cock for snowboarding. But now snow cover is rarely sufficient without the aid of snow cannons so the turn of the started looking for ways to draw tourists outside the winter season as well. We changed our strategy to move away from the Winter Sports only resort to war year round tourism and weve been making an effort to invest the currently high revenues from the winter to develop summer activities. For ending in terms of more invested. Snow is one of these and most precious resources if not from the sky then from the mouth of a cannon. Off. The back end all balls in the biathlon stadium at a junior competition. Biathlon is crosscountry skiing combined with target shooting. The sport is quite popular in northern and Central Europe and involved they also teach amateurs some of the basics. I want to try shooting today.

The south is on the right by the water with the impressive opera house. Oslo opera house hope and in 2007 and is the home of the Norwegian National opera and ballet the angled exterior surfaces of the building are covered with marble and white granite and make it appear to rise from the water. Its time to learn something about norwegian history x. Was fortress is a great place to do so and even better completely free of charge. Boxes with castle or whose fortress is a medieval castle that was built to protect and provide a royal residence for. Today the castle is a museum open to the public.

Been here grab a little love thank you brad shes hot dog we say he sounds good to me and after words were heading to the football match norway is playing sweden tonight. Thank you. Thank i. Thank you. Thank you thank you. Thank. You just like us i. Wish i could say. There are many sports facilities in obama wolf where professionals train and where competitions are held here on the bobsleigh run amateurs like me can also try out how it feels. Unfortunately or maybe i should say fortunately the run is close. Amateurs today the professionals are training to give you an impression of what to expect we have installed a camera on the training ball. At the finish line i meet puts it in for man bobsled he is world and olympic champion but whats fascinating about bob slaying his force in them before its fascinating about bobsledding is mostly the speed you can achieve really high speeds up to 156 Kilometers Per Hour this is. The interplay between man and technology and the emotions that you experience both at the start and throughout the ride up thats something very very special this is so little and so if i not only pros use the run here its open to visitors to how does that work up there is to me thats gusts here but its a visitor can book a ticket for the guest bob run a Tourist Information is there a schedule times when you can write in a bobsled with bona fide world champions for example maximillian in a 4 man bobsled you can get a little taste of the bobsled supportable indifferent how dangerous is the guestbook run fine. We never reach the speeds we do in regular bobsled sport its a kind of racing competition and we wear helmets crashes happen but its very very rarely so really i can recommend it for everyone. Even if it doesnt look like it right now yes sometimes theres lots of snow in winter and then theres not only this track here for the action but also a toboggan run there you going to have fun on natural snow very traditional with a sledge. This is what the winter in the syringe and forests can look like sun and snow with temperatures just undef reasoning. Lobos natural bobsled track has to be meticulously prepared. To get it right is dont even have to walk up the 2 kilometers they can ride in the comfort and warmth of a bus seat of a you see everyone passing by and all our rental sleds around and lots of visitors are in line waiting for them to come back in because theres a river to overcome for. A local company handles the organization and operation of the natural ice track an overhaul of the spot is especially popular with families the track doesnt have many tricky stretches so they can just let their sleds carry them along how fast they go depends on the riders skill and equipment and they can depend on the bus to shuttle them back every 20 minutes. To. Take up on the floor for these visitors from south africa the bobsled track is a special experience. Very good very different to use the sledge of a very fine very very fine very cold you have followed for a few times but no one saw research right here. Is this a 1st time here in the snow yes yes 1st time time in germany and 1st time sings. With adequate snow cover theres also a good 700 kilometers of winter hiking and crosscountry skiing trails to explore in the area of the bobsled track. There is of course more to the region than Winter Sports i am on the way to mining it 35 kilometers away. The town is best known for its theater.

Traditional backdrop of 3 painted doors made way for all kinds of highly realistic sets. 2 the do come self created many of them his sketches can also be found here. As a d. V. D. But theyre really well fall through sensationally good use and theyre worthy of a train set designer who had to study 4 or 5 years to learn his craft and was. The duke was indeed talented often he even designed the costumes for the mining and production some self theatres unique costume collection has also been preserved.
