germany's highest peak including the german environment agency. no man has brought a new measuring instrument for chemical engineer said he could take the french scientists to studying air pollution. we can measure impurities that come from very far away from africa or canada. enough to buzz feed for instance so horrid doest we can measure very high concentrations of. the location is ideal for studying the atmospheres microstructure the latest findings have shown a greater rise in c o 2 than the long term average. from inside the station in the 100 meter long tunnel where tourists were once cautioned about the thin air we it's through the mountains geophysicists to theme looks after

equipment that measures melt water. despite global warming the permafrost the ice frozen into the rock is currently fairly stable. and offers a spectacular natural display in a side tunnel. after a disastrous avalanche in 1965 an avalanche warning service was established here. specialists like michelle get hot still provide important data. this is quite interesting when you have a packed layer of snow on the loose layer on top of it and then another packed lab it's called a women slab and it can slide down over a loose let you look at a sheet of the apostle up like. the top layer slips down almost without resistance the risk of avalanches great the results are passed on to headquarters in munich

which issues a daily record bozo's the moon is going to move on it either that's a typical wind slap don't need to put these in loco to heat. outside there are more measuring stations depth of snow precipitation wind and temperatures are measured and recorded here. on blustery cold days hardly anyone is out on the slopes of the souks but except the scientists. my scanner and of the 3rd of it that's part of it being here not just when the sun shining but whatever the weather improvement of the sure that's really noise i like being up here every day surrounded by all this not lying on the beach with vicky on linked. in fact on the mountain everything's

a bit more extreme including the weather conditions. after visiting the summit of the 6 bits that i recommend you make your way to lake city situated at the foot of germany's highest mountain it's still nearly a 1000 meters above sea level. at this time of year you'll find plenty of peace and tranquility on the shores of the frozen lake. alexander phone home boat the most dangerous world views of the world views of

those who have never viewed the world. follow us on facebook d w dot travel. i'm now at the patna a mountain river fed by the melt water from the sewage. over the centuries the river eroded the rocks and left behind and deep core each. i'm meeting little of them even custodian of the potluck gorge for 18 years. believe can you tell us a little about what you do. get in the other to avoid that we have a fairly standard routine every day before we open the gorge my stuff conduct a thorough safety inspection then make sure all of the pathways and railings are intact sometimes they have to remove trash or debris. if there's

a problem of any kind they phone me and i have to decide whether it can be solved quickly and easily or whether we have to close the gorge at short notice on both light or put this in the mighty companies i'm not hiding that after all these years you probably know the gorge better than anyone and garmisch patent creation or even the whole world what's so fascinating about the partner. and is this for. the gore which has a different ambience in every season and even different times of the day if you're here at 7 in the morning it's not a toll like 230 or 3 in the afternoon. and some of the sun shines and the birds are singing as i think the light is reflected on the legitimacy will come when i'm here at 7 am all alone it's just wonderful to be the lead if i didn't. like the fact that it's always different as a kid i just i see him on the things but when do you like it best and tell you

honestly when it's just below flood level down started even after it's been raining hard in the park now is full to brimming with nature takes over. then you're really in wild pristine nature that's when i like it best. before it was open to tourism the pot now was used to transport timber which wasn't without its perils. if the now we're at your favorite spot why is it so special to you that coupled with it's the mother not the you could see the madonna it was she was put there in the 19th century before the gorge was open to tourism as a memorial to the lawyers who lost their lives in accidents but would fight the void me i always say it's the place where you can be a little closer to god on top of him. or beyond you we've also officially

illuminated the stature of the gentle art. which solar panels were installed on the upper edge of the gorge and so she is always based in an environmentally friendly light to catch visitors attention money but not day and night night in knowing the birds are mary's only live from 8 am to 6 pm so that at night all wildlife are bats and balls and all native water birds have some peace and quiet. even though if you try as much as possible to leave nature to its own devices but you've said up to 4000 tourists come here every day how does that work doesn't that cause some conflict that conflict with him yeah i've spoken to there's always a potential for conflict there are always reckless people who stray from the power switch is strictly forbidden and some of there's

a minor problem with trash sometimes we have to go through even when it's open to the public and clean up what people have left behind all natural scenery commands a fair amount of respect so joining the day only a certain number of people can come through in order not to disturb it than it would be to do with it off and then get us so future generations can enjoy it to do with us in a number of us isn't that that's very important to us we also have lots of visitors with children and children visitors of tomorrow. the else offer amazing natural experiences especially in the winter but as it gets one cannot forget that animals need their peace during the cold season because they're in their hibernating or they're having trouble finding food in the snow and need to conserve their strength. 80 radia come here every day when to to wait for col hill. you make sure they have

food when they need it but he's not the only human being in the winter forest all sorts of tracks crisscross the area for instance from snowshoe was. staying on the road is no fun people want to snowshoe through deep powder so they go all over the place. but they're irresponsible and even go to the areas where the wildlife if it some even ignore the signs and special beriah take. on and phone but there's some claim leontyne associations game protection area only refers to cross-country skiers and snowshoers and not hikers people can be really dreadful. in winter there's very little food for the animals apart from the young tree branches that's why herman feeds the dhea every day and makes sure they are left in peace. every disturbance across the manager in each of the

factors as they built up over the summer if the animals are constantly stressed by all the disruption it can lead to that death at the weapons temple. when it begins to snow the dhea come here to be fit every winter they used to call home and they have run away from strange is. this myth that the animals take flight and scatter in the forest delta not once they're scared off they don't come back for a long time but they still have to find food. it's not just the dia but also the natural surroundings that suffer from troublemakers invading areas where they don't get the lol. just so you can get a snow shoe trunks again there are other animals like grass and rabbit actually all the wildlife are in fact it's home to roost but there are. so alison the countryside it's crucial to keep to pods and trails especially in winter.
