of germany the for. alice look at the code footage discovered 3 wonderful winter landscapes around makes this garden over stop and garmisch patton kitchen but have lots of fun in the snow the flame. first off nicole footage takes you on a trip in the underground but just got. my tour 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. now it is the haitian house on the market square

the murals on the facade depict ancient tales about back to scotty. and a little further down the road you'll find a lovely schloss plot or castle square. and i thought it would be nice to paid 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 fare from either that it really is it not too steep i'm not at all. gotten 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. 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 because something is missing 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 practice got national park is late couldn't 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 couldn't see echo.

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 vox 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 4th 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 the klaus fox 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 den lights of visitors. but almost 65 but the golden eagles are a bit shyer than the deer we're still waiting. so. this is. the 2 this was so there's no need to separate tourism and conservation they go very well together you see tom koenig say 600000 people visit some both amused and the lake water is so clean you can drink it because only electric boats are allowed on the lake you have to compromise a little that's not it 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 to steam. 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. and it gets even better we have no other 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 hunts. folks who might

want to start. with their turn right for the snowshoe if. you are done with the he will call it on here you know. just talking about the feds comfortably. sites without reading. let's go on as it was me who gives up 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 am going to make step and we're awful is on with that in the foot i had a. rather good let's talk for a minute can you look at the mountains when 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

2500 meters from the point of. the amazing thing about socialism is the fact that you literally get to walk off the beaten path on a completely untouched snow with views that cannot be beat. the next item on my tin or ari is a visit to the oldest gentian distillery in germany your girl you're 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 here as you can feel the warm. 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

a root looks like this when it comes out of the ground it's 4 or 5 years old and about 80 centimeters long. course the roots are chopped and mashed then the liquid is extracted and distilled into shops. and. drink schnapps made from tension or after unwieldy many people drink fruit like yours as a d.j.'s teef 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 to hopefully we are at the tasting you can try on our company's most popular products 1st of course is jensen primary product just from the root of. our strong spirit no residual sugar 40 percent by

volume. growth both for. their herds of conscience because of the bitters what i did 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 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 snobs 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.

a 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 enthusiastic. 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 all is located over there it's the winter sports center of the al gore 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 from the post-office mediæval origins. and. now with tricks for 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. those. 1st tourists arrived here in the late 19th century. old us all fishley as 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 big leather ski boot in the world. you can also find out how scheme 1st came to 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

those little guys 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 boise that's why i'm here we'll take it easy. to find out what does 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. after an hour i've learnt the basics and we start to send the. world.

and then downhill. 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 to preach even though i'm at the top often even on 2200 meters 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. as we saw him or my curving back and forth like with skiing. and you do know how to ski no 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 effort ski party and all of us told to find plenty of venue's for a relaxing drink with like minded people.

i. think. i like the snow all 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. with is the 3rd and last stop on our travels through the bavarian alps and the confluence has a lot on her agenda. today i'm going to check out still it's trolls germany's highest mountain and a dual core and all of it in and around one of the country's lowest popular destinations for a winter sports columnist 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 and 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 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 that emotion funtastic

emotion this is my 1st time in. 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 a 1st time i've been in the glacier balls so this is very exciting for the day here but i think we're going to stay a pair have some better and do the german thing right it was music me i 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.

the 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 the 6 beds that. over the centuries the river eroded the rocks and left behind and deep gorge. by meeting let us ask now he's been can stony end of the pot enough gorge for 18 years. he didn't 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 gorgeous 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 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 earth as i think the law you tis reflected in the legends 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 as a. human on this is but when do you like it best and tell you honestly when it's just below flood level and start getting it right 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 garmisch was once 2 separate communities the towns were joined in 1936 but both still retain very individual identities cotton kitchen is the older of the 2 situated along a trade route from venice to alex book it was founded by the romans over 2000 years ago. lou thanks trazodone with its historic facades that is its central showpiece. sounded 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. your. kids. and what better way to end an enjoyable visit to the kitchen and there are loads of taverns that serve delicious german cuisine i decided to go for a classic cheeses spezza with the british traditional folk dancing on the side. for a major break a trip to the mountain paradise of. known to be and mazing idea of all 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 recharge your batteries the perfect. get away.

the big dream of the islamic state for many it's a policy year for unemployment covered in range. thousands of muslim filipinos joined the ranks of jihad as. they were drawn into

dragons in his word as we call the heart of the tree is nothing to agree but on now to. cutting through the noise. where i come from people are known for being tough but fair new york can get loud and people tell it like it it is the they call it the concrete jungle the melting pot the city that never sleeps it's this energy that makes it feel like cold but amid the hustle it's important to listen and pay attention because it's not just the loudest voices who need to be heard we all have a story to tell but i see it as my job as a journalist to go beyond the obvious now i'm based in europe the my one takes me around the world but my instincts for me and the state to tell the important stories behind the headlines what is the heart of the story why does it matter who live in the united states focus what you want us to cut through the noise to get to
