LENKtastic II - 5th day



Cheesefactory


Today we went to a cheesefactory that was situated high up on a mountain. There we saw how cheese is really made. We followed our guide when he was stirring in a big bowl of cheese-water and later he took out the cheese and put it into forms. We got to eat alot of different types of cheese that was produced at the factory and they were so delicious! We also got to taste fresh milk from the cows at the factory.



Later the boys went up to the top of a big mountain and Martin, who wanted to walk fast reached it as the last. When we came back the factory and we wanted to go down the ”city” fast  so that we could go to the pool but unfortunately we went into the wrong direction a couple of times and reached the camp about one and a half later than we had planned... 




Biking



Our group, composed of five camp participants and a leader, set of for Speiz at 09:30 on this summer morning.




After a quick lunch break near a river in the forest, the group finally arrived at destination, exhausted after a four hour trip, but very happy. Thier efforts were rewared by a short visit to Spielz’s castlefollowed  by a dip in the lake of Thun and in the local swimming pool. One hour oft rain-riding later, we were back at Lenk.






Rope Park


Early in the morning we took the train to Zweisimmen and we hiked to the rope park. Since we didn’t know how to use all the gear they gave to us, a strong looking woman taught us how to do so. Then we had to practice our newly gotten knowledge on a baby rope (!), but that was just a little anticipation of what we would get later. They had courses for all kind of people: small ones, big ones, long ones, short ones, and even one that was pretty much all zip-lines.









After a couple of them we ate lunch and headed to the swimming pool, where we played volleyball (on actual sand!), football, went down a big slide and jumped off a diving board. As you may or may not have seen, we had lots and lots of fun. :-)
