8:41 am
a try. for it so you my good here's what you do and you know down by your balls 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 meters away. you pull back push and how long does it take pros to do this. goes really quick well practice makes perfect. a no. again. no no i've looked through here there and i've been using the wrong one right here through this little hole in the book. i think what i've got now you get so much better there's a. 0. 00000000 hit
8:42 am
now i'm ready for a little friendly competition. oh you've got ready set. go go. i'm going to pass you ok ok the final spurt and we made it. gradually yes 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
8:43 am
most popular winter pass time downhill skiing. the alkaloid boasts 43 ski resorts with over 500 kilometers of slopes. that haul in 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 mountain railway or cable car. you can also go snowshoeing this tour leads to the top of a 1500 metre alpine peak. participants also get to build an igloo and then sleep in it. we have to be finished before dark. the. next day
8:44 am
finishing the job quickly is the order of the day it's minus 4 degrees celsius inside the eagle who 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. the. next we pay a visit to the cheese making 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.
8:45 am
what do we need for it 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 degree celsius here this is the same let's test it take this kind of knife and stick it into the milk you know right now lifted like you would have. it's like yogurt not right to put it. the smaller the pieces the firmer the cheese gets. back to the 4th. it's heated and stirred some more and the whole thing all of it ladle by little. this network and we call this one big cheese. with ok.
8:46 am
now our cheese has to sit for 2 hours but christiane cornet the chef at the linen bag a whole has prepared another cheese for us to make our case spots and with so now we're making the noodle dough. this is guns and the recipe is quite simple you take 2 x. 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 to get more of. the noodle goes finished it's time to put it in hot salty water. it's not as salty as the mediterranean but in that general direction here we have our share to
8:47 am
a greater bonus but you can also use a press you put it in here old fill it with dough start writing and told in that way. 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 betfair himself 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 sleds race in florida and then ventures to bargain chase that puts a funny spin on century old customs. for decades the fairy in town of homs has hosted its traditional show lingo regs.
