To lovely weather were having enough wanted someone to ladies and gentlemen i like to welcome you to our wintry tour of kempton one loses. Kicks off our tour and front of the town hall its a landmark of kempton and dates from the fourteenth century. But kempton is a lot older than that two thousand years ago the city was called. In this is really still trying to come but you know just over the top the roman outpost was situated on the other side of the in the river and thirty three meters above it. In fifteen b. C. The romans arrived at the river history informs us that they found a celtic settlement with the same name here this is why kempton claims to be germanys oldest city but there is no definitive evidence for that. Centuries later during the reformation kempton was a divided city there was a catholic and a protestant part the church of st mung was once the protestant heart of kempton and its the oldest place of worship in town. Do you got the students deserve a says will focus in the middle of the church until around ten years ago the posit talk to small front and the altar were in the center of the church then it was all moved to the east side imagine having to turn your head like this from a half an hour to hear the minister and the hundred it was bearable. Only in recent days for that one. Thats why these adjustable benches were built just flip the back rest and you have a perfect view of the pulpit pretty practical and you think. We continue to the former catholic part of town with the basilica of st lawrence and the representative residence of the duke abbot. And thats also where our tour of kempton ends there. Yeah. Canton is the perfect starting point for a tour through the i would call your region particularly famous for the beautiful nature and now during the cold months turned into a real winter wonderland. Its a magical place just waiting to be explored. The ice towboat gorge town of disney. In winter its actually closed. But people can still enter the gorge at their own risk. The paths here arent cleared of snow or ice for you to come up with overthe watch out its really slippery. Regardless if. Its a fascinating world of rock water and ice. But i talk am also a gorge in the aisle going reveals another side of its Natural Beauty at night during torch light tours. This find its sensational first the rushing of the water below which you hear more than see. The i sat behind because our incredibles like huge cuts and this is like a fantasy its amazing. The part i talked tom is located near or best off the regions best known Winter Sports resort. But the alkaloid isnt just famous for its nature in Winter Sports its also home to germanys most famous castle game noise. Each year some one and a half million visitors flock to see it. What would look big the second think. The enter verted king of but varia built noise feinstein as a place of refuge somewhere he could retreat into his own fairy tale world. Another place thats pretty as a picture is the Pilgrimage Church of peace. Gotten. In seven hundred thirty eight a peasant woman is said to have seen tears in the eyes of a statue of jesus many called it a miracle. Soon became a place of pilgrimage today its Rococo Church is a unesco World Heritage site. If you have plans to visit the algo its best to fly to munich and rent a car not only will you be able to get from one place to the next you will be treated to speak tackler nature at every turn. Before i started be a full length part of my journey were going to hop on over to the other side of the elves to italy our of europe with llamas and they were stolen from ukraine send us a video from her trip to venice the visit to the city of water was a mothers day gift from her son and as she told us it left her in awe. Its either arrived at my next stop nestled here im going to rent the equipment i need for my next and deaf or an introduction to the biathlon. So. My instructor for the day is to flick. Ok ok lets go youre probably a bit faster than me but if you ask me the traditional way and ill skate oh so i guess ill see you in half an hour sounds good. So i left. The biathlon is extremely popular in germany or at least lots of people like to watch the competitions on t. V. Welcome them how did the biathlon originate who came up with the idea of putting Cross Country skiing and rifle shooting together who thing is crosscountry skiing has always been popular in scandinavia even for hunting with a weapon thats how the idea was born to be born. In germany most by athletes are in the military that means they train under professional conditions the biathlon isnt really a recreational sport but here in nestle those who are curious can give it a try. For it so you my good heres what you do and you know down to the side as you can see theres already a bit of snow on our weapons. Ok the skiing really gets your heart pumping that makes it difficult to hold the rifle steady and hit the targets fifty meters away. So i go back. To back push and how long does it take pros to do this. Goes really quick well practice makes perfect. We know. Again no night in night no no id love to hear god there you and i have been using the wrong one i know here for this little hole but look if you think what ive got now you yet so much better. Oh i. Know i was ok and it now im ready for a little friendly competition. Oh ready set. Go. Im going to pass you ok ok the final spurt is up and we made it. Congratulate yet i have to admit that was a lot of fun unfortunately by affluent is only practiced on the competitive level luckily around these parts there are plenty of other ways to have fun in the snow here are a couple of. The most popular winter past time downhill skiing. The alkaloid boasts forty three ski resorts with over five hundred kilometers of slopes. And hauling and neighbors hauling are among the best known. And of course there is also Cross Country there are around one thousand kilometers of groomed trails and the al gore. Sledding is loads of fun at the regions numerous toboggan runs. Many can be reached by Mountain Railway or cable car. You can also go snowshoeing this tour pleats to the top of a fifteen hundred metre alpine peak. Participants also get to build an igloo and then sleep in it. Really have to be finished before dark. But if. Its the finishing the job quickly is the order of the day its minus four degrees celsius inside the ego cooler than being in a refrigerator yet its still warmer than it is outdoors. Morning guys the next morning the group is richly rewarded with stunning views for braving that chilly night. Next we pay a visit to the eagle eyed cheesemaking school and linden back here they offer workshops where people can learn how to make a spots in the. Cheesey pasta dish is a specialty of the. Even the cheeses handmade here. What do we need for you know whats the most important thing when it comes to making a good cheese. And good milk milk and were going to find the best milk in germany in the ill go of course a very good choice to turn the milk into cheese will need some Lactic Acid Bacteria and a coagulant the mixture is then heated to thirty five degree celsius here this is the same lets test it take this kind of knife and stick it into the milk you know right now lifted like you would it takes over its like yogurt not right like you think youre going to put it. The smaller the pieces the firmer the cheese gets. Back to the fourth when its heated and stirred some more. The whole thing all of it they little by little. This network and we call this one big cheese. With a way ok. Now our cheese has to sit for two hours but christiane khulna the chef at the linen bag a whole has prepared another cheese for us to make our case spots in a way so now were making the noodle dough this is guns and the recipe is quite simple you take two weeks proportion what around one hundred fifty grams of flour and one hundred millimeters of water. Lets get cracking. Its kind of a poor mans meal in the past two people simply took leftover cheese grater this and added it to pancakes another simple dish and flour based dishes used to be staples and they just mixed something with it they can make. The noodle joes finished its time to put it in hot salty water. This mission may have if not a salty as the mediterranean but in that general direction. Here we have our special a Greater Knowledge but you can also use a press you put it in here old fill it with joe stork writing. No sooner said than done its also hard and the noodles look just like they should. Cook them for a minute or two removed from the water and then add that the mixture should be tossed rather than stirred until the cheese evenly distributed then topped the noodles with fried onions and some mountain herbs and weve got ourselves some delicious but very unselfish. People here in the elbow might not be too crazy about counting calories but theyre very eager when it comes to keep in their traditions alive a good example for that is the annual corn sledges race in florida and the venture is to bargain cheese that puts a funny spin on century old customs. For decades the fairy in town of honey just to state its traditional shelling go right. On the beasts that just with dramas participants to riyadh down one thousand meter long slope into the valley below with blessings from above. Local clergyman are among the riders protestant and catholic alike but shopaholic i think the lord understands it when he sees the opportunity to goof around. I think it pleases him. Twenty minutes later they are up at the starting line in fact the two chechnyan are taken the inaugural run. Only just read we dont want to the screen size of the catholic or the Protestant Church so well just do it. Strikes twelve the race begins. The Catholic Priest stands the snatch with chris asian while his protestant copilot hangs on said dan knowing. The godly team crosses the finish line hallelujah. I find i thought we came out surprisingly well because no mishaps asia answered i feel a lot better than an hour ago that. The un has a kilometer long at the tropics ledges experience at two hundred meter drop in elevation between the stocks on the finish line. Something that looks incredibly dangerous there are surprisingly few injuries. But breaking isnt allowed unless its not intentional and only traditional style sledging is optimistic to race. But everyone gets a place in the final rankings as long as they a national ngong make it to the finish. Thats why obviously just with the whole new shape drama School Shelling got the. Girls shelling that comes from the bavarian sri lanka or schlink which means to move back and forth every from the left to the right thats where the name comes from i recall did you come to know my the shining the race is unique in every way just like things were originally used to transport hay and firewood down from the mountain into the valley. The locals demonstrate just how it was done. By the shining the rays certainly is heaps of fun. Now for something completely different im going to. The Carriage Museum invite him to laugh its a labor of love for a passionate local collector but at times you get the sense here in the chamber of horrors the museum exhibits a large variety of sleaze and carriages fitted out with all sorts of paraphernalia that. One of the museums of most valuable pieces is this bill he me in funeral carriage. The man behind the museum is my team veba hes a local contractor whos traveled throughout europe in search of items for his collection the Carriage Museum might not be everyones cup of tea but there is no denying that a lot of dedication and imagination has gone into putting it together. Now off to warmer climes were heading to colombia our globe trotters steve has visited kali in the southwest of the country its one of the oldest cities in the america and the selfproclaimed salsa capital of the world.
