5:37 am
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 the other this is quite interesting when you have a packed layer of snow on the loose layer on top of it and then another packed ladder it's called a wind slab and it can slide down over a loose let me look at a sheet of their close 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 report bozo's the move we're going to move on to the other that's a typical wind slap don't need. the 50 loco to seek. 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 except the scientists. my skill or improve the thought of it perhaps 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 or the movies liberal right on linked. in fact on the mountain everything's

5:40 am
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 2. over the centuries the river eroded the rocks and left behind and deep gorge. i'm meeting little of them he's been can study in of the pot not gorge for 18 years . he didn't you tell us a little about what you do you didn't bother 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
5:41 am
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 and both light equipped with 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 this is for a new club the gorge has a different ambiance in every season and even at different times of the day if you're here at 7 in the morning it's not a troll like 230 or 3 in the afternoon. and some of the sun shines and the birds are singing or as i think the lightest reflected in the literature will come when i'm here at 7 am all alone it's just wonderful when you don't leave the room didn't . like the fact that it's always different as a. human on this but when you do you like it best until you
5:42 am
honestly when it's just below flood level down started it after it's been raining in the park now is full to brimming with a 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 that now were at your favorite spot why is it so special to you live up to its name i don't know the year you could see the madonna it was she was put there in the 19th century before the gorge was opened to the tourism here as a memorial to the lawyers who lost their lives in an accident what would the voice make the of i always say it's the place where you can be a little closer to god on top of my. own beyond we've also officially illuminated
5:43 am
the stature of the gentle art. solar panels were installed on the upper edge of the gorge so she is always based in an environmentally friendly light to catch visitors attention money but not day and night night in no mary is only lit 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 at home or you. even though 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 what would you have put into there's always a potential for conflict there are always reckless people who stray from the power switch is strictly forbidden in some of there's
5:44 am
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 during the day only a certain number of people can come frugal in order not to disturb it than it would be to do with an office and then get to so future generations can enjoy it to do this and that other stuff is something that's very important to us we also have lots of visitors with children and children visitors of tomorrow. the else offer an 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 either 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. he makes sure they have
5:45 am
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 farmer people want to snowshoe through deep proudest so they go all over the place. but they're irresponsible and even go to the areas where the wildlife a fit some even ignore the signs and special beriah tape. on and phone but there's some claim the alzheimer's association has game protection area only refers to cross country skis and snow shows and not hikers as there are 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 dia every day and makes sure they are left in peace. and you know every disturbance costs the managing any
5:46 am
type of fat reserves they've built up over the summer if the animals are constantly stressed by all the disruption it can lead to that dance at this temple. when it begins to snow the dia 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 ultimately once they're scared off they don't come back for a long time but they still have to find food and. 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 of wildlife are affected. so alice in the countryside it's crucial to keep to pods and trails especially in winter.
