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 mung was once the protestant heart of kempton and it's the oldest place of worship in town. do you go to students the services were focused in the middle of the church until around 10 years ago and it talks to small farms 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 100 and it was bearable. only in recent days for. that's why these adjustable benches were built just flip the back rest and you have

a perfect view of the pulpit pretty practical don't you think. we continue to the former catholic part of town with the basilica of st lawrence and the representative residence of the duke abbott. 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 towboat gorge the town of business. 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 over top watch out it's really slippery. regardless if. it's a fascinating world of rock water and ice. the by tough calm also a gorge in the isle going reveals another side of its natural beauty at night during torch light tours. that find its sensational 1st the rushing of the water below which you hear more than see. the ice of the ice because our incredibles like huge cuts and there's

like a fantasy it's amazing. the fight i talked tom is located near or best door to regions best known winter sports resort. but the alkaloid isn't just famous for. nature in winter sports it's also home to germany's most famous castle noise. each year some one and a half 1000000 visitors flock to see it. what would look big the 2nd think. the enter verted king of bavaria built noice 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 vece. in

738 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 nature at every turn. before i started the 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 we 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. here i'm going to rent the equipment i need for my next and deafer and introduction to the buy 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 he's a traditional way at all skating so i guess i'll see you in half an hour. 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 hoofing is cross-country skiing has always been popular in scandinavia even for hunting with a weapon that's how the idea was born and we're born. in germany most by athletes are in the military that means they train under professional conditions the biathlon isn't really a recreational sport but here in nestle those who are curious can give it

a try. for you my good here's what you do and you know down by your goals to the starting out as you can see there's 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 50 metres away. so i go back. to back push and how long does it take to do this. because really quick well practice makes perfect. a no. again. no no no but i've looked through here there and i've been using the wrong one you know here through this little hole but look. thing would have got now you get so much better if there's a. 000. 000000000000000000 he did it

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 one else bird and we made it. very gradually yet 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 algo it boasts 43 ski resorts with over 500 kilometers of slopes. and hauling and neighbors hauling 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 at the region's numerous toboggan runs. many can be reached by mounting a railway or cable car. you can also go snowshoeing this tour pleats to the top of a 1500 metre alpine peak. participants also get to build any glue and then sleep in it. we have to be finished before dark. next to

finishing the job quickly is the order of the day it's minus 4 degrees celsius inside the eagle to 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 eye cheesemaking school and linden back here they offer workshops where people can learn how to make a spots and the popular cheesy pasta dish is a specialty of the. even the cheese is handmade here. was put off by

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 where 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 the 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 not right and i think you're going to put it. in the smaller the pieces the firmer the cheese gets. back to the 4th when it's heated and stirred some more and the whole thing all of it 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 now with so now we're making the noodle dough this is guns and the recipe is quite simple you take 2 weeks proportion what around 150 grams of flour and 100 millimeters of water. let's get cracking. 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 more of. the noodle goes finished it's time to put it in hot salty water. this middle may have if not a salty as the mediterranean but in that general direction. here we have our shirts

to a greater but you can also use a press he put it in here old fill it with dough through them 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 there in 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 sledge race in florida and ventures to bargain chase that puts a funny spin on century old customs. for decades the varian town of homs has faced its traditional shelling go right.

on these so that just with runners participants korea down 1000 meter long slope into the valley below the blessings from above. local clergyman are among the rioters 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. 20 minutes later they are up at the starting line in fact to to check up taking the inaugural run. on this really 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 discuss that with chris asian while his protestant copilot hangs on for denying. the godly team crosses the finish line

i let you yell. fun i thought we came out surprisingly well because no mishaps which are the answer but i feel a lot better than an hour ago. the run was a kilometer long trip it's ledges experience at 200 meter drop in elevation between the stops on the finish line. something that looks incredibly dangerous there are surprisingly few injuries. braking isn't allowed unless it's not intentional and only traditional style sledge is often mentioned to race. but everyone gets a place in the final rankings as long as they actually make it to the finish. line. but why obviously just with the

whole shakes promised cool challenge god. telling girls oh there you go comes from the bavarian sri lanka or schlink either which means to move back and forth to be from the left or the right that's where the name comes from 3 computers and i don't know my own the shilling 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 shelling the rain specifically is heaps of fun. now for something completely different i'm going to tell. the carriage museum and bought hinted that it's a labor of love for a passionate local collector but at times you get the sense here of the chamber of

horrors the museum exhibits a large variety of sleaze and carriages fitted out with all sorts of paraphernalia . one of the museums of most valuable pieces is this bohemian funeral carriage. the man behind the museum is my team veba he's a local contractor who's traveled throughout europe in 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.
