    The water quality improved a lot in the last 40 years. The major input came from the "Schweizerhalle disaster" in 1986. A chemical plant by the city of Basel was on fire and firefighters had a hard time to put out the fire. The used water mixed up with chemicals and drained into the river Rhine. The contaminated water was pumped back to put out the fire again and caused uncontrolled chemical reaction at the high temperature. All animals in the river Rhine died. That was the start of a major awareness campain. The chemical plant now must have containment for the possible water used by the firefighters, chemical measurements have been established and the countries France, Germany and Switzerland now work closely together for communication, firefighting and preservation of the river Rhine. Today the river Rhine is in a better environmental shape, than 1986. So some people say, it needed "Schweizerhalle" to help the environment. Disaster as a chance.

    Those bells are huge! Just for the ceremonial walking through the village I'm guessing? Do they keep smaller ones on during the summer? I bet these big bells must be generations old!

    • @togsikmale5625
      @togsikmale5625 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Those large bells are called „Fahr-Treichel“ and are only used when the cows are taken to their alpine pastures im early summer or on live stock exhibitions and such. The are not casted but forged by hand and therefore look heavier than they actually are (8-10 kilos).

    I agree with you driving in Europe in general is more complicated than in the United States. It's even easier to drive in a large city in the United States than in a very small medieval town in Europe. European towns/cities were never made for such a large population!

    That’s awesome!! We’ve raised turkeys quite a few times. Just keep them away from the chickens. Chickens pass a disease on to the turkeys called coccidiosis. We kept colloidal silver in their water as a preventative against the disease. Anyhow! Good eating or even their eggs.

    On September 2, 1998 Swiss air flight 111 and MD-11 bound for Geneva Switzerland from JFK airport in the United States caught fire shortly after takeoff they attempted to make an emergency landing at Halifax airport in Nova Scotia Canada. They never made it. The MD-11 slammed into the Atlantic Ocean with the force more than 350 gees killing all 229 people on board.

    Cool video! Thanks for sharing! The closest American comparison for the booth activity is perhaps a scavenger hunt of sorts. I think it is important for kids to know where their food comes from. The work and sacrifice it takes to raise and butcher the animals. It's pretty shocking when you talk to kids and they truly believe that their meat comes from Walmart.
