how in 15 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 germany's 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 monk was once the protestant heart of kempton and is the oldest place of worship in town. do you go to students to service is with a focus in the middle of the church until around 10 years ago wasn't it taught to small fund and the alternatives were in the center of the church and 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 high bridge when he was bearable. only in missing this 5. that's 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 that's also where our tour of kempton and. yeah. canton is the perfect starting point for a tour through the i would go a region particularly famous for the beautiful nature and now during the cold months turned into a real winter wonderland. it's a magical place just waiting to be explored. the ice cores of the town of disney. in

winter it's actually closed. but people can still enter the gorge at their own risk. the paths here aren't cleared of snow or ice for you to come up with over thought watch out it's really slippery. as if. it's a fascinating world of rock water and ice. the by tough clam also a gorge on the al gore reveals another side of its natural beauty at night during torch light tours. let's find it sensational 1st the rushing of the water below which you hear more than see. the ice of the icicles are incredible like huge cuts and this is

like a fantasy it's amazing. the but i talked tom is located near or best off the region's best known winter sports resort. but the alkaloid isn't just famous for its nature in winter sports it's also home to germany's most famous castle noice feinstein. each year some one and a half 1000000 visitors flock to see it. what would look big the 2nd think. enter verted king of but varia built noise feinstein as a place of refuge somewhere he could retreat into his own fairytale world. another place that's pretty as a picture is the pilgrimage church of peace. and

1738 ringback 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 it's rococo church is a unesco world heritage site. if you have plans to visit the algo it's 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 speed tackler in nature at every turn. before i started the leg part of my journey we're going to hop on over to the other

side of the elves to italy our viewers with llamas that were stolen from ukraine sent us a video from her trip to venice the visit to the city of water was a mother's day gift from her son and as she told us it left her in.

i've arrived at my next stop nestled here i'm going to rent the equipment i need for my next and deafer and introduction to the by after launch. so. my instructor for the day is to flick.

ok ok let's go you're probably a bit faster than me yes me the traditional way and i'll scare kiddo so i guess i'll see you in half an hour sound. right 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 when the thing is cross-country skiing has always been popular in scandinavia even for hunting with a weapon that's 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 biafran isn't really

a recreational sport but here in nestle those who are curious can give it a try. to tell you my good here's what you do and you know down by your goals to the started out as you can see there's already a bit of snow on our weapons. the skiing really gets your heart pumping that makes it difficult to hold the rifle steady and hit the targets 50 meters away. so i go back. to back push and how long does it take to do this. goes really quick well practice makes perfect. a no. again i know no other look through here there but i've been using the wrong one right here through this little hole in the book. if you think what i've got now you get so much better of. 00.

000-000-0000 extension 000 hit now i'm ready for a little friendly competition. oh you got ready so. look out. i'm going to pass you ok ok the final spurt you know and we made it. congratulate you that i have to admit that was a lot of fun unfortunately by athlon 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 pastime downhill skiing. the al gore boasts 43 ski resorts with over 500 kilometers of slopes. that haul in and neighbors haul are among the best known. and of course there is also cross country there are around 1000 kilometers of groomed trails in the i'll go. sledding as loads of fun of the region's numerous toboggan runs. many can be reached by mountain railway or cable car. you can also go snowshoeing this tour leads to the top of a 1500 metre alpine peak. participants also get to build any glue and then sleep in it. really have to be finished

before dark. so the. next day finishing the job quickly is the order of the day it's minus 4 degrees celsius inside the ego cooler than being in a refrigerator yet it's 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. popular cheesy pasta dish is a specialty of the. even the cheese is handmade here.

what do we need for you know what's the most important thing when it comes to making a good cheese. and good milk milk and what can you find the best milk in germany in the i'll 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 $35.00 degree celsius. let's test it take this kind of knife and stick it into the milk you know right now lifted like you would a cake so it's like yogurt right now like you think you're going to put it in. the smaller the pieces the firmer the cheese gets. back to the 4th. gets heated and stirred some more. and the whole thing all of that's made little by little. this network and we call this one big cheese. with

ok. now our cheese has to sit for 2 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 we're making the noodle dough with some guns and the recipe is quite simple you take 2 weeks proportionate around 150 grams of flour and 100 millimeters of water. let's get cracking. as this is it's kind of a poor man's meal in the past 2 people simply took leftover cheese grated it and added it to pancakes another simple dish and flour based dishes used to be staples and they just mixed something with it thinking what. the noodle goes finished it's 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 dough start writing. no sooner said than done it's also hard and the noodles look just like they should . cook them for a minute or 2 removed from the water and then add the cheese 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 we've got ourselves some delicious varian soul food. people here in the elbow might not be too crazy about counting calories but they're very eager when it comes to keep in their traditions alive a good example for that is the annual corn sleds raised in florida and then ventures to bargain chase that puts a funny spin on century old customs. for decades the fairy in town of homs has hosted its traditional show lingo regs.

on the beasts that just with dramas participants korea down a 1000 meter long slope into the valley below with blessings from above. local clergyman are among the riders conscious and and catholic alike but shopaholic i think the lord understands it when he sees the opportunity to goof around. i think it pleases him. 20 minutes later they are up at the starting line in fact the 2 chechnyan are taking the inaugural run. only just read we don't want to the screen size of the catholic or the protestant church so we'll just do it. when the clock strikes 12 the race begins. the catholic priest discussed that with chris asian while his protestant copilot hangs on said dan knowing. the godly team crosses the finish line i let you yeah.

but i thought we came out surprisingly well because no mishaps should be answered i feel a lot better than an hour ago that. there really was a kilometer long at the tropics ledges experience at 200 meter drop in elevation between the start on the finish line. something that looks incredibly dangerous there are surprisingly few injuries. oh my drinking isn't allowed unless it's not intentional and only traditional style sledging is optimistic to race. but everyone gets a place in the final rankings as long as they end mashing gonna make it to the finish. that's why i'll be slick just with the whole shakes promised cool channeling god.

calling girls culture language comes from the very in sri lanka or schlink other group which means to move back and forth everyone the left to the right that's where the name comes from i recall did you 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 . the shining the race certainly is heaps of fun. now for something completely different i'm going to check. the carriage museum invite him to laugh it's a labor of love for a passionate local collector but at times you get the sense you're in

a chamber of horrors the museum exhibits a large variety of sleighs and carriages fitted out with all sorts of paraphernalia . one of the museums of most valuable pieces is this bill he me in funeral carriage. the man behind the museum is my team vega he's a local contractor who's traveled throughout europe and search of items for his collection the carriage museum might not be everyone's 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 we're heading to colombia our globe trotters visited colony in the southwest of the country it's one of the oldest cities in the america and the self-proclaimed capital of the world.

well i mean yes yeah me go see em when you don't act i lean in this episode we don't explore the city of santa and we're going to do some day trips out of the city this time with me as my buddy from germany that farm. we are hiking up to the settle the last 3 years since the hill with the story crosses to get an overview of cali and we already have on the way out pretty much. are you feeling. really cool here from here. since we are in the south side. we need to learn some stuff sorry you're right and being straight right now

having little group because my time feel this. hard. and scholarly is the capital 1st also monuments dedicated to one of the most famous musicians is name a writer by the left and he was the founder of evolution. and the monument you see here is basically a big from that and when you go into something you can hear something missing. in this thing to do if you want to check out the city center of charley to walk along the river so you start at church and you walk down there. very hard so you

get to the area of some i phone you can find old restaurants bars. and other street just. never know what i'm going to say that this is a good neighborhood arkansas are pretty safe. when you walk around san antonio should at least be clear that it's a month or 4 remaining you know you're from over. if it's raining in the rain forest we've free hours out of cali to do another teach work profession really. because we're now in sun cipriani we're going to take. the fish. and we're going to go something to get money went.

so we made it to sun. and now. next make stuff is being we're walking up to 0 point one hour to go swimming and them which you've been down. this river over here. beto way to end my visit to the algo region and then with a walk through the incredibly and chancing mountain landscape. this. where it ends my little tour of the al gore no matter if you're into winter

sports or nature or whether you're a fan of time honored traditions or quirky curiosities we do in kempton and but in the long you'll find it all it's truly worth a visit for you next time somewhere in germany.
