what secrets lie beyond small. discover new adventures in 360 degree. and explore world heritage sites. w world heritage 368 getting up now. welcome to a special edition of taken this time we head to the very end else in the very south of germany the for the. colonists look at stake nicko footage discovered 3 wonderful winter landscapes around bases gone over stuff

and. have lots of fun in the snow leopard. first off nicole footage takes you on a trip in and around discarding. my tour begins in the city a fact it's gotten 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 murals on the facade depict ancient tales about back to scott. and a little further down the road you'll find a lovely show. bus plots or castles where.

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 our view that it really is it not just deep i'm not at all. just got the national park is the only national park in germany inhabited by golden eagles and there are about 10 of them from close back valley we have a good view of the rocky crags in. this we do 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 wishing an ideal time for you guys to dive a little deeper into the national park. way too back to scott national park is lake county see only environmentally friendly electoral votes are allowed to travel the lake which is almost 200 meters deep but we are halfway across the captain stops because it's from here that the steep mountain flanks create the famous could we see echo. after about a half an hour the boats reach their destination the hare shoutin insula and st

bartholomew's an eye catching 17th century brock pilgrimage church. the church lies at the foot of the vox money machine with 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 for a 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 park's flora and fauna one of them the klaus buck 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 feet of the dead lights of visitors.

i thought that's a 65 but the golden eagles are a bit shyer than the deer we're still waiting. they said. this was so there's no need to separate tourism and conservation they go very well together you see tom koenig's 600000 people visit some both amused and the lake water is so clean you can drink it not because only electric boats are allowed on the lake you have to compromise a little but matter what you do here apart from watching eagles. monitoring the golden eagles is only one thing it's not a 9 time 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. and we check

them on a regular basis to make sure they're in order that sound job 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 we are one flying through the air. i want to explore even more of that 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 which are right for the snowshoe. yeah then with that he will buckle it on here now. just tighten the binding but all

that fits comfortably. shows it's the. sites with a ready. let's start i was almost week to get it but one important point we're going to our polls and i'm going to shoot the song walk with your legs far enough apart so you don't step on the polls or your other shoe i think or thanks stephanie we're off falls on with that in the freiheit. the good let's talk for a minute and look at the mountains then we'll hear what the next one over with the sun shining on it covered in snow. that's the horror 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 on a completely untouched snow with views that cannot be picked. up the next item on my tin or airy is a visit to the oldest gentian distillery in germany your girl here for a tour of france distillery things that 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 mistake it was made in here as you can feel the warmth is counted. 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 root that's used. what some say my root looks like this when it comes out of the ground it's 4 or 5 years own and about 80 centimeters long off the course. the roots are chopped and mashed then the liquid

is extracted and distilled into shops. and knobs form in some drink schnapps made from gentian or herb after in the real thing many people drink fruit like yours as a d. 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 jensen 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 that has

a well rounded taste. this estate's attention is the strength of the mountains how many do you drink a day it's worth to at least one 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 tension says 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 now lots of.

second destination in this taken special is the alps near all bus stops look at stake it joins 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 i hopes. 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 snow bike i look forward to lots of nature adventures galore. as mediæval origins. 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 i'm. there. 1st tourists arrived here in the late 19th century. old us dollar bill 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 the next 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 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. fellow yes there were those little guy there he is this is alex i warned him that i'm pretty much a total beginner 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 more for me that's why i'm here we'll take it easy. but. my god what is this have to do with skiing a lot you 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. air down down hill.

i. like to. 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 a bridge even though i'm at the top of a neighbor 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 c.p.s. 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 and. that's what we saw with more of my curving back and forth like with ski. and you do know how to ski now. and let's go.

it's working. something like even managed to pull off a snowball like. my day in the algo alps is almost over now it's time for the f.a. ski party and all of us still to find plenty of venue's 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. it sucks but says the 3rd and last stop on our travels through the bavarian alps on the coast clearly has a lot on her gender. today i'm going to check out till it's true germany's highest mountain and gorge all of it in and around one of the country's lowest popular destinations for winter sports. but the thing i'm most excited about is right behind the new cable car will take me to the top note. here i am at the foot of the 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 and 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 come from russia ok what brings you to that 6 bits of today emotion fantastic emotion this is my 1st time in do it slanted this is my 1st time to speak it's so fun to stick on some amazing fabulous view what do you think of the 6 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 ball so this is very exciting but what's your plan for the day here you . think we're going to style 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 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. this ski resort was established in 19495 different lifts give you access to 20 kilometers of slopes.

i'm now at the patna

a mountain river fed by the melt water from that suit them. over the centuries the river eroded the rocks and left behind and deep chords. i'm meeting who does i know he's been can stony end of the pot now gorge for 18 years. even 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 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 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 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. and this is for. the gorge has a different ambience 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 light is reflected in the little welcome when i'm here at 7 am all alone it's just wonderful when you don't leave the room i didn't. like the fact that it's always different as a. this doesn't mean not on the things but when do you like it best until you honestly when it's just below flood level down started even after it's been raining hard 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.

the city of garments was once 2 separate communities the towns were joined in 1936 but both still retain very individual identities. and creation is the older of the 2 situated along a trade route from venice to alps book it was founded by the romans over 2000 years ago. thanks trazodone with its historic facades that is its central showpiece. founded about 800 years later garmisch isn't as old and grand more like a quirky little sister with lots of pedestrian zones shops and restaurants to get

used to. and what better way to end an enjoyable visit to god. there are loads of taverns that serve delicious german cuisine i decided to go for a classic jesus bets with the trend of traditional folk dancing on the side. for a major break a trip to the mountain paradise of. known to be and mazing idea up on that so expensive i got to take a breather with the incredibly fresh and well at least a bit thin air and even down here in the valley there are plenty of ways to
