discovered. subscribe to the documentary. welcome to a special edition of chicken this time we head to the very end else in the very south of germany oh. alice look at the cove footage discovered 3 wonderful winter landscapes around but it's this

garden stuff and garbage patented have lots of fun in the snow leopard. first off nicole footage takes you on a trip in and around fish discolored. my sure begins in the city a fact it's gotten which lent 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 murals on the facade depicts ancient tales about back to scott. and a little further down the road you'll find a lovely schlosser. or castle square. and

i thought it would be nice to pay a visit to the national park here i've met up with ranger klaus melba and we're off to see if we can spot some golden eagle. tell him we'll have a good view from of that it really is it not too steep i'm not at all. back to scotland national park is the only national park in germany inhabited by golden eagles and there are about 10 of them from glass box valley we have a good view of the rocky crags. with somebody 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 best see them local muslim distances. but there's no sign of them yet. well looks like this is going to involve

a bit of sitting waiting and a wishing and ideal time for you guys to dive a little deeper into the national park. to back to scott national park is lake county city 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 clooney seat echo. after about half an hour the boats reach their destination the hair shout peninsula

and sing bartholomeusz an eye catching 17th century brock pilgrimage church. the church lies at the foot of the box money must see the heights of over 2700 meters the mighty mountain has come to symbolize the national park and the entire region. the national park consists of a forest 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 the trees to feed to the delight of visitors.

at almost 65 but the golden eagles are a bit shyer than the deer we're still waiting. this it's. so there's no need to separate tourism and conservation they go very well together you see it on koenig's a 600000 people visit some both on a museum 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 a main task an important part of our job is looking after tourists we offer guided tours every day and of course we rangers are often out somewhere in the park we have 250 kilometers of trials in the national park from barrier free to steam. and

we check them on a regular basis to make sure they're in order that sound 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 if 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. folks who might want to start. with their tour right for the snowshoe. yeah then with the he will call it on here you know. just tighten up by making it

all that fits comfortably. sites without ready. let's start i was almost weekly visits but one important point we're going to our pollster are in our shoes so walk with your legs far enough apart so you don't step on the polls or your other shoe i think on stakes testing we're awful zone with that in the foot i had. the good looking talk for a minute can you look at the mountains when we're here and look at the next one over with the sun shining on it covered in snow new britain and that's the horse girl it's over 2500 meters from the peak of. the

amazing thing about snowshoeing is the fact that you literally get to walk off the beaten path and completely untouched snow with views that cannot be picked. the next item on my a tuner ari is a visit to the oldest gentian distillery in germany here for a tour of 5 distillery and i thought i taste my way through your range of products through rooms are here to stick this distillery has been around since 6092. wow there is no mistake it was made in here as you can feel the warmth counted. 60 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's used. 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 then the liquid is extracted and distilled

into shops. drink schnapps made from gentian or herb after a real thing many people drink fruit like yours as a de just tif but that's not healthy it's not the alcohol that helps digestion 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 companies most popular products 1st of course is to ensure primary product just from the root of a clear strong spirit no residual sugar 40 percent by volume. both . their words are pungent because of the bitterness but it has

a well rounded taste. there's a stance the tensions the strength of the mountains how many do you drink a day it's worse who 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 bottle of gentian 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 is. 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 the lot.

second destination in the 2nd special is the other guy alps near all bus stops here look i stay get join some went to school it's interesting yes. 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 golf is located over there it's the winter sports center of the algo region in southern 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. postoffice mediæval origins. and. now attracts over 2000000 overnight guests every year i want to know what draws them here. bush knows 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. the. 1st tourists arrived here in the late 19th century. or bust all fishley has a therapeutic climate it's a quality seal in germany given to places with among other things a certain air quality and spa facilities. the local history museum is set up in an x.

farmhouse where visitors can learn about the area. and marvel at the big use leather ski boot in the world. you can also find out how skiing 1st came to a bus stall. 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 those little guy 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 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 boise 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 tilt the ski with every step and we're putting our weight on it but. after an hour i've learnt the basics and we start to send the. ball. and then john hill.

i. think 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 to preach even though i'm at the top of the neighbors in 2200 metres and in the middle of nature i don't have to sacrifice on comfort to keep on top of the competition everything here has been renovated faster ski lifts for example and this trendy new restaurant right at the summit.

of course there are other winter. it's on offer in the algo alps beside skeet 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 stupid is definitely 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 you know and let's go.

it's working. something like you can manage to pull of a snowball like. my day in the elbow alps is almost over now it's time for the f. pretty ski party and all of us golf you'll find plenty of then use for a relaxing drink with like minded people.

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 say it is the 3rd and last stop on our travels through the bavarian alps and they call it clearly does a lot when harry agenda. today i'm going to check out chill and stroll germany's highest mountain and gorge all of it in and around one of the country's lowest popular destinations for winter sports congress but the thing i'm most excited about is the right the new cable car will take me to the top note. here i am at the foot and it's expected excited to board the brand new cable car which went into operation in december 27th. 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 the weekend. and in just 10 minutes we reached the summit at a breathtaking 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. where you've come from russia ok what brings you to that 6 bits of today emotion fantastic emotion this is my 1st time in atlanta 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 don't think we're going to stay a pair have some better and do the german thing. was for me is it me you don't look like you're going skiing i mean we're going sledding we'll take the cable car down and go sledding on the toboggan rock 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. this ski resort was established in 19495 different let's give you access to 20 kilometers of slopes.

i'm now at the pot now

a mountain river fed by the melt water from the 6 beds that. over the centuries the river eroded the rocks and left behind and the koreans. i'm meeting with us now he's been constantin of the pot now gorge for 18 years. we've can you tell us a little about what you do. taking the other 2 we have a fairly standard routine every day before we open the gorge my staff conduct a thorough safety inspection they make sure all of the pathways and railings are intact sometimes they have to remove trash or debris or 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 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 ambulance 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 law you to reflect it and the legitimacy will come 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 until you honestly when it's just below flood level down started it well after it's been raining in the park now is full to brimming with nature takes over . then you're really in wild pristine nature but that's when i like it best.
