The romans arrived at the river history informs us that they found a celtic settlement with the same name here this is why kempton claims to be germanys oldest city but there is no definitive evidence for that. Centuries later during the reformation kempton was a divided city there was a catholic and a protestant part the church of st monk was once the protestant heart of kempton and its the oldest place of worship in town. Do you got the students these services were focused in the middle of the church until around 10 years ago that talk to small fund and the altar were in the center of the church then it was all moved to the east side imagine having to turn your head like this from mufon out here the minister was bearable.

We continue to the former catholic part of town with the basilica of st lawrence and the representative residence of the duke abbotts. And thats also where our tour of kempton ends and.

The biathlon is extremely popular in germany or at least lots of people like to watch the competitions on t. V. Welcome them how did the biathlon originate who came up with the idea of putting crosscountry skiing and rifle shooting together when you can use crosscountry skiing has always been popular in scandinavia even for hunting with a weapon thats how the idea was born. In germany most by athletes are in the military that means they train under professional conditions the biafran isnt really a recreational sport but here in nestle those who are curious can give it a try. For you my good heres what you do and you know down by your goals to the side as you can see theres 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. Hold it back push and how long does it take to do this. Goes really quick well practice makes perfect. A no. Again i dont know about the through here are there but i have been using the wrong one here for this little hole but look. If they would have got to know you yet so much better. Oh i. Know i was okayed it now im ready for a little friendly competition. Oh youve already said. Look out. Im going to pass you ok ok the final spurt is up and we made it.

Participants also get to build any glue and then sleep in it. We have to be finished before dark. The. Next day finishing the job quickly is the order of the day its minus 4 degrees celsius inside the a glue cooler than being in a refrigerator yet its still warmer than it is outdoors. Morning guys the next morning the group is richly rewarded with stunning views for braving that chilly night. Next we pay a visit to the eagle eye cheesemaking 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. What do we need for a good you know whats the most important thing when it comes to making a good cheese. And good milk milk and we can find the best milk in germany in the ill go of course a very good choice to turn the milk into cheese will need some Lactic Acid Bacteria and a coagulant the mixture is then heated to 35. 00 degree celsius. Lets test it take this kind of knife and stick it into the milk you know right now lifted like you would a cake so its like yogurt not right like you think youre going to put it in. The smaller the pieces the firmer the cheese gets. Back to the 4th. Gets heated and stirred some more of the whole thing all of it made little by little. This network and we call this one big cheese. With ok. Now our cheese has to sit for 2 hours but christiane khulna the chef at the linen bag a whole has prepared another cheese for us to make our case spots in a way so now were making the noodle dough its the guns and the recipe is quite simple if you take 2 weeks proportion what around 150 grams of flour and 100 milliliters of water. Lets get cracking. As this is. Kind of a poor mans 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 those finished its time to put it in hot salty water. Its not as salty as the mediterranean but in the general direction of the of the new here we have our ship beds to a Greater Knowledge but you can also use a press you put it in here old fill it with dough through them start writing torben and lay. No sooner said than done its 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 and 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 weve got ourselves some delicious varian soul food. People here in the elbow might not be too crazy about counting calories but theyre very eager when it comes to keep in their traditions alive a good example for that is the angle corn sledge race in florida an adventurous toboggan chase that puts a funny spin on century old customs. For decades the berrien town of homs has posted its traditional show lingo regs. On these so that just with dramas participants korea down a 1000 meter long slope into the valley below put blessings from above. Local clergyman are among the riders protestant and catholic alike are shot but i think the lord understands it when he sees the opportunity to goof around it well. I think it pleases him. 20 minutes later they are up at the starting line in fact the 2 chechnyan up taking the inaugural run. Only just really dont want to this race are the catholic or the Protestant Church so well just do it. When the clock strikes 12 the race begins. The Catholic Priest still is the sets with chris asian while his protestant copilot hangs on for denying. The godly team crosses the finish line i let you yeah. But i thought we came out surprisingly well because no mishaps which are answered i feel a lot better than an hour ago. There was a kilometer long trip that sled just experience a 200. 00 metre drop in elevation between the start on the finish line. Something that looks incredibly dangerous there are surprisingly few injuries. Braking isnt allowed unless its not intentional and only traditional style sledging is optimistic to race. But everyone gets a place in the final rankings as long as they in the National Make it to the finish. Why are these ledges with a hole in shakespeare honest cool chilling got. The name girl holding a comes from the bavarian sri lanka or schlink group which means to move back and forth to be on the left or the right thats where the name comes from i recall due to my going to know my the shining the race is unique in every way just like things were originally used to transport hay in firewood down from the mountain into the valley some of the locals demonstrate just how it was done. To show the race certainly is heaps of fun. Now for something completely different im going to check out the Carriage Museum and bought him a lot and its a labor of love for a passionate local collector but at times you get the sense here in a chamber of horrors the museum exhibits a large variety of sleighs and carriages fitted out with all sorts of paraphernalia that. One of the museums of most valuable pieces is this bill he may end funeral kerridge. The man behind the museum is my baby but hes a local contractor whos traveled throughout europe in search of items for his collection the Carriage Museum might not be everyones cup of tea but there is no denying that a lot of dedication and imagination is conned into putting it together.
