sons of to many. posts look us to good nicole footage discover 3 wonderful winter landscapes around vegetable garden overstocked and cotton kitchen but have lots of fun in the snow blower. first off nicole footage takes you on a trip in an underground discarded. my tour begins in the city of back to scotland which lends its name to the region. it's over 900 years old and the architecture reflects its rich history. one building that really stands out is the haitian house on the market square the
2:32 am
murals on the facade depict ancient tales about back to scott. and a little further down the road you'll find a lovely schloss lot or castle square. i thought it would be nice to be a visit to the national park here i've met up with ranger klaus melba and we're off to see if we can. i have some golden eagle. tell me have a good fare from over there. really is it not just deep i'm not a total. god national park is the only national park in germany inhabited by golden eagles and there are about 10 of them from class back valley we have a good view of the rocky crags. this would be if you look at the trees the treetops up on the mountain those are the places eagles like to shoot that's where you can
2:33 am
best see them and see. but there's no sign of them yet. well looks like this is going to involve a bit of sitting waiting and wishing an ideal time for you guys to dive a little deeper into the national park. way to go back to scott national park is lake could see only environmentally friendly electric boats are allowed to travel the lake which is almost 200 meters deep sort of halfway across the captain stops because it's from here that the steep mountain flanks create the famous could be seen echo.
2:34 am
after about half an hour the boats reach their destination the hair shout peninsula and st bartholomew's an eye catching 17th century brock pilgrimage church. the church lies at the foot of the box money must see the height of over 2700 meters the mighty mountain has come to symbolize the national park and the entire region. the national park consists of a 4 zone in which nature is left to itself then there is a maintenance zone where alpine meadows are cultivated and tourism is encouraged. several information centers explain the parks flora and fauna one of them in the clouds above house is the perfect starting point for a walk to the deer feeding station. when the rangers replenish the food supply up to 60 red deer venture out from the shelter of
2:35 am
the trees to feet of the dead lights of visitors. but almost $65.00 of those but the golden eagles are a bit shyer than the deer we're still waiting. so. it's. there's no need to separate tourism and conservation they go very well together you see tom koenig's $600000.00 people visit some both amused and the lake water is so clean you can drink it and that's because only electric boats are allowed on the lake you have to compromise a little that's not what you do here apart from watching eagles. monitoring the golden eagles there's only one thing i do it's not i'm 9 times an important part of our job is looking after tourists we offer guided tours every day and of course we
2:36 am
rangers are often out somewhere in the park we have 250 kilometers of trials in the national park from barrier free to steep alpine pounds and we check them on a regular basis to make sure they're in order that sounds wrong to. have been about that's enough talking for the moment let's see if our luck with the eagles has improved a little right in the middle want to see. him looking this way and there really is one. is there. and it gets even better with their one flying through the air. i want to explore even more of best is god's nature so i'm going snowshoeing i've joined a group led by mountain guide hunters. don't focus too much but
2:37 am
if you start. with which are right for the snowshoe. yeah then with the he will call it on here you know. if you just tighten the binding but all that fits comfortably. sidespin i ready. let's start i was as it was me because it's but one important point we're going to our polls that are in our shoes so walk with your legs far enough apart so you don't step on the poles or your other shoe i'm going to get up and we're off falls on with it in the foot i had. the good luck to talk for a minute and look at the mountains then we're here to look at the next one over with the sun shining on it covered in snow. that's the horror girl and it's over
2:38 am
2500 meters from when the truth of. the amazing thing about snowshoeing is the fact that you literally get to walk off the beaten path on completely untouched snow with views that cannot be fixed. the next item on my a tenner ari is a visit to the oldest gentian distillery in germany there gears here for a tour of france history and i thought i taste my way through your range of products through ones are here to stick this distillery has been around since 6092 . wow there is no mistaking what is made in here if you can feel the warmth. gentian is an alpine plant that is cultivated and back to scotland and is still to make a better shops to be precise it's the route that used. the word since
2:39 am
a root looks like this when it comes out of the ground it's 4 or 5 years old and about 80 centimeters long off the course the roots are chopped and mashed and the liquid is extracted and distilled into. drink schnapps made from gentian or herb after unwieldy many people drink fruitless cures as a d.j.'s teef but that's not healthy it's not the alcohol that helps gesture and it's the bitterness that's why there's a german saying taste bitter makes the stomach fitter. well then time to give it a try there's a huge selection in the shop course all sorts of flavors but of course i want to try the classic version so if you're here so pale we are at the tasting you can try all our company's most popular products 1st of course is gentian primary product just from the root of. strong spirit no residual sugar 40 percent by volume.
2:40 am
both. their words are pungent because of the bitterness that has a well rounded taste. there's a stance the tension is the strength of the mountains how many do you drink a day it's worth to at least mornings and evenings one morning is really. well they're definitely able to hold their liquor that's not for me but a bowl of tension schnapps as a souvenir why not. later in the afternoon i treat myself to a drive through the mountains on the rust belt panoramic road. that you see. after just a few kilometers i can say it's well worth it behind every curve there is another amazing view of austria and the back just got no love.
2:41 am
the 2nd destination in this tekken special is the other guy alps and it will bust off here look as stated join some went to school it's interesting. snow and mountains that's where i'm heading i'm getting closer to the most southern point of germany the algo. the algo is a popular holiday region even in winter especially in winter in fact. almost all is located over there it's the winter sports center of the al gore region in southern
2:42 am
germany a perfect starting point for discovering the area i want to go up the mountains and of course come down in one piece i'll be on skis and on a snowboard like i look forward to lots of nature adventures galore. as many evil origins. now attracts over 2000000 overnight guests every year i want to know what draws them here. which means no is guaranteed because it's so beautiful the skiing is fantastic it's just a lot of fun here. because of the snow and i want to show my girlfriend for the. 1st tourists arrived here in the late 19th century. old us old people fish meat as a therapeutic climate it's a quality seal in germany given to places with among other things
2:43 am
a certain air quality and spa facilities. the local history museum is set up in an ex farmhouse where visitors can learn about the area. and marvel at the biggest level of ski boots in the world. you can also find out how skiing 1st came to a bust off. and skiing is the reason i'm here. cold feet. it's been over 10 years since i last put on skis so i spoke to a few hours with a real instructor. hello yes there were
2:44 am
those little guys there he is this is alex i warned him that i'm pretty much it told will begin or so we'll have to start from scratch yeah yeah i'll explain the basics and then we're off conditions are perfect. i'm a little nervous because it's all new to me boys well that's why i'm here we'll take it easy. but. my god what is this have to do with skiing a lot we have to push down and chill to ski with every step and we're putting our weight on it. after an hour i've learnt the basics and we start to send the.
2:45 am
can down down hill. i. like to. skiing it's a lot of fun but you have to be very careful plus i don't think that i'm a natural. now i need a bridge even though i'm at the top of the neighbour's 2200 meters and in the middle of nature i don't have to sacrifice on comfort to keep on top of the competition for everything here has been renovated faster ski lifts for example and
2:46 am
this trendy new restaurant right at the summit. of course there are other wind just. it's on offer in the algo alps beside ski in snowboarding and alex is going to show me one. so this is an alternative to skiing is it more fun or less easier or harder what should i watch for. when c.p.s. is basically it's like riding a bike but with one main difference we have no brakes but we still have to slow down either by digging our heels into the snow. as we saw him or by curving back and forth like with ski. and you do know how to ski now and let's go.
2:47 am
it's working. just like even managed to pull of a snowball like. my day in the elbow alps is almost over now it's time for the after a ski party in almost all you'll find plenty of venues for a relaxing drink with like minded people.
2:48 am
i. like the snow the elves and of course that's. feeling at the end of the day when you know you've really accomplished something i'm tired but happy and now i know why the al gore is one of germany's favorite holy their regions is specially in winter. that sucks but says the 3rd and last stop on our travels through the bavarian alps on the coast clearly has a lot on her agenda. today i'm going to kill it strolls charles highest mountain and a dual core and all of it in and around one of the country's lowest popular destinations for winter sports gone wish but the thing i'm most excited about is the right behind the new cable car will take me to the top note.
2:49 am
here i am at the foot of it's expected excited to board the brand new cable car which went into operation in december 27 teams. the new state of the art cabins can hold up to 120 people it's hoped that this will reduce waiting time in line especially on weekends. and in just 10 minutes we reached the summit out of breath taking 2962 meters. on clear days you can see all the way to switzerland and even italy it's a panorama that draws more than half a 1000000 people here every year there are. where you've come from russian ok what brings you to that 6 bits of today emotion
2:50 am
funtastic emotion this is my 1st time in dutch land to this is my 1st time to speak it's so fun to stick on some amazing fabulous view what do you think of the sushi but this is your 1st. time it is my 1st time i love it it's the 1st time i've been in the glacier balls so this is very exciting but what's your plan for the day here you. think we're going to stay a pair have some bear and do the german thing right. musically you don't look like you're going skiing i mean if i were going sledding i will take the cable car down and go sledding on the toboggan rob it's a bunch of the fun. but a lot of people do come here to ski and if you haven't got equipment of your own you can rent it right here.

2:53 am
quickly and easily or whether we have to close the gorge at short notice and both light up when we see them i think companies are 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. is this for new the gorge has a different ambience 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 on the law you to see reflected in the lit welcome when i'm here at 7 am all alone it's just wonderful. and i like the fact that it's always different. this doesn't you know on this is but when do you like it best and tell you honestly when it's just below flood level down started even after it's
