christian tradition, lynch began on st. martin's day on november 11th and ended on december 24th, which is why traditionally a simple dish is served on christmas eve. the most popular being potato salad and sausages, the most german se, there's a sense of hominy is important for christmas. the only one in 3 german se they can trudy relax over the festive period. the the, the just an hour later all seems to be forgiven. and that's because half of germans believe that christmas is a festival of love. the. and with that we

a unique singing style. that's one of the oldest of its kind in europe. the make people to me singing is everything. it's been my passion since i was a boy. i feel it in my heart, i would the sounds may be somewhat unfamiliar with, learn more about dates. origins in a moment. can be sent because you feel it here. when everyone's singing in harmony, the big moved something here and you're good. because i'm just, i'm it comes from the remote mountain villages of the canyon island of sardinia. it's known as the come to out to north and is said to think back over 3000 years is positive daily life in many sardinian towns like all goes at all. for example. musicologist diego pony has been studying sardinian pastoral song for several years

. it's been declared an intangible world heritage. bi unesco, got the, is a 40 fixing, realize it by 4 parts of the courtyard. a factor of these 4 parts is that the, the tool was, the voices, are made that using the overtones in the super monte group breaks down the song for us into its individual voices in the mm hm. so, so much of the cancer all to note a remains a mystery, but there is no doubt that it originated among the shepherds and titus the highlands, traditional occupations. it's passed on by the north. on paper. i've always worked in the country around cows. the singing reminds me of cow's moving cab sound very similar,

while i tried to imitate that. it was the same sound all the time. yeah, so i might say this kind of song was inspired by the sounds of animals, but that really hasn't been proven. the condo often already is sung at certain festivals on holidays and occasionally it concepts. but here it's part of daily life. pop goes inside indian villages, often spontaneously breakouts in song about $3500.00 thing is there active in order of san dania. every village has its own styles, the what role does the singing play among this audience themselves? when the boys, when you get together, have some drinks and then hear this. it always gets really quiet and everyone loves

it. yeah. it's our tradition when we carry the singing in our heart part of sardinian identity and all goes, all those identity to the content belongs to this region and we're very proud of it . the way the lyrics were written in the san denny and language by son damien powers. they deal with love, friendship, religion, war and peace. how will this thing be passed on to the next generation? to the interior goes still young, 20 years old. it really was still a child when he came to us and learned to sing and families were so we all learn the tradition this way. you can't learn it at any school about whose whole life the origins of the account too often already will always be something of a mystery. but it's an integral part of something in identity that lives on to the present day. time now to head to one of the most beautiful winter paradises in

europe, the swiss resort assessed for it. it lies at an altitude of over 1800 meters and the surround it by stunning panorama. the . i'm almost there. all that's left is this mountain past. this time i'm going to be pretty high up in the, in the it's a valley in the swiss alps and it's my very 1st time my destination to saint margaret's. a place that stands for winter tourism like no other saint mar. it's used to be a simple farming village, but today you see massive hotels and shop windows with luxury items. the tour guide is only the place to go explained to me that winter tourism was the result of a bed between the hotel owner, 200 spotwood and a group of 4 summer travelers from england. then they made a bed in the fields. he said, come to save moritz in the winter,

and if you don't like it, i'll pay for your trip from london to saint moritz and back. and if you like it, you can stay at my hotel for free as long as you'd like died. needless to say, he won the bed and as a result, st mertz became a popular trouble destination in winter time to the international competitions. take place in this with mountain town regularly. even the st. lawrence lake is used in winter for a rather unusual events, a pool or tournament. slip out in december. we need about a week of minus 30 degree temperatures every night, ideally without any window, and then it freezes over and actually it will be covered in about half meter to one meter of snow. do you have what it is, the name of the sky area and you're st more it's we're going to an altitude of

almost 3000 meters and because i don't have a lot of experience leno's my ski instructor should helped me on the slopes. the i want to take it slow it 1st the yes. okay, perfect. perfect. where's the applause leaders? but when it gets a little steeper, i have to put in a lot of effort. and i'm glad when i make it down safely. to me as a beginner fear and sun is pretty close to each other, but this is what makes it challenging. anyway, i won't be the king of the as of today, this is santiago. originally from the going on, the bus has lift and work in st. moore, it's for many years as

a ski instructor and mountain bike guide. i go on a tour with him, followed by phone to business. what's special about the i can get in for you personally, i'm not a nature the best of the gas toronto me is great. so the ambience, i'm coming to and get in as like entering another world under the bed. the highlight of the tour is cycling through the dark. and of course, the rewards that awaits us the fun do is calling abrupt, put a few pieces of bread on your plate and philip stab one with your fork. yeah, i've just done good. so the

ready for the next one? the solution. if you lose your bread, you have to do the washing up. okay? so if you really want to get moving in winter, the and getting is the perfect travel destination for you. but there's not only when to sports action here, that's also something that's increasingly difficult to find to date and remote see an extra winter days in your or get chilly. there's nothing better than a delicious gould are soup to warm you up. we have now too hungry from where it originated to see how they make this famous signature dish. the

wash is a very simple dish. you want to pay the meat and you want to taste the pump. rico the good quality, top quality fuck because which is not easy to get your hands on even in hungry the you have to follow the shows just looking for a few hours and leave that out as well. the every 2nd week, me me and said with us on the fly, i'd say like as well the time i name of the saw sound. so i'm from hungry. i'm the expert that the shipping is probably gonna be the best. and one of the most popular, i've seen each of these come over menu that the traditional 100 and who do i. so

the, the best thing that out for a 100 and without hoops, we gotta get laser and the markets so we can find the way nice to meet the needs and the probably deposit as well, the progress. so fee was the semester, but as well. so that is the favor regarding much more each. so i showed that the basic who fish the bus is available all the time. and the additional some garlic is very important. and we're going to buy somebody showing them as well. that's going to be the base of this to to we're going to use the beef cheek, which is one of the most send the parts of meet the me. so after this part of muscle, the call we use the most of the that's why is a, is to the more much more than the

because the nice the actually cubes and be cooking. so gather with the one of them based on the slides. so it takes half an hour every one i mean maybe to just simple tories from which every part of the read or let me be a 3 me sure. last time chef up from the same as a kitchen. everyone who comes to hungry wants to face the perfect glass. hello, i'm still here. i'm out there hungry and full dresser, basically, and pulled up the edge. and i believe that perfect glass is really the best step into the ritual for giving me of the glass is a complicated issue because i think people normally international people are

expecting to get us to bend the order and selection of the restaurant. but even hungry if you think it will actually, if you order it from a restaurant menu, you would probably get a soup and less group which is more likely to reach the majority of the people who would expect to when they or the electric. it's cool. i've an angry inconvenience could put, could the subject case then other complex issue. it's obviously the signature of spice of hanging and cooking. if you have 1st look on the public eye, you can immediately say a lot about the quality. it should be very intense through the clean pace. the, the secret tape of all of the hanging in grandmother's. he was probably not. we didn't

ever recipe. and the secret is when you add the public um have to take the pen off of the heat. and for the top we get on the, on the is separately because it gets very easily bitter and it brings very easily so that's why you have this excess then the, the base. so for me, so is the because the wife of the, to the meat is nice think good. and we cannot, some of us will be mixed together with the meat heroes the bit we have to add the assembled up the so let's with these are the all the elements are cool. i like to do that too because this is a inside of somebody due to favors. so maybe that's why uh, the most of the finances of it, we do like the and with that we come to the

end of another. so remember to follow us on social media far more from the world of culture and lifestyle in europe. as always, thanks for tuning in and join us again. next week the, the, the,
