[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY FRIENDS OF NCI] >> WELCOME TO "TRAVELSCOPE" WITH JOSEPH ROSENDO, WHERE EACH WEEK YOU JOIN US AS WE ACCEPT THE WORLD'S INVITATION TO VISIT.

>> WOO HOO!

>> TODAY ON "TRAVELSCOPE," I RIDE TO THE TOP OF EUROPE FOR ADVENTURES ON THE FAMOUS PEAKS AND IN THE BEAUTIFUL VALLEYS OF SWITZERLAND'S JUNGFRAU REGION.

>> I'M ON THE FINAL LEG OF MY RAIL JOURNEY FROM ZURICH AIRPORT TO GRINDELWALD IN THE JUNGFRAU REGION, ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND BEAUTIFUL, SPECTACULARLY SCENIC REGIONS IN SWITZERLAND.

WHAT GIVES THE JUNGFRAU REGION ITS STELLAR REPUTATION IS THE DRAMATIC JUXTAPOSITION OF ITS DEEP VALLEYS AND LOFTY MOUNTAINS.

THE GRINDELWALD VALLEY HAS AT ITS HEAD THE CHARMING RESORT OF GRINDELWALD, A GATEWAY TO NUMEROUS MOUNTAIN ADVENTURES.

TOWERING ABOVE IT ARE THE EIGER, MONCH, AND JUNGFRAU, ALL OVER 13,000 FEET.

TO GET A HEAVENLY PERSPECTIVE ON THE REGION, I TRAVEL INTO THE HEART OF THE MOUNTAINS ABOARD THE JUNGFRAU RAILWAY TO THE JUNGFRAUJOCH, THE HIGHEST TRAIN STATION IN EUROPE.

AS ONE OF THE ONE MILLION TRAVELERS THAT VISIT THE JUNGFRAUJOCH EACH YEAR, WHETHER YOU'RE COMING FROM INTERLAKEN OR GRINDELWALD OR LAUTERBRUNNEN, ALL RAILS THROUGH THE JUNGFRAUJOCH COME THROUGH KLEINE SCHEIDEGG.

NOW, FROM HERE, IT'S 9.3 KILOMETERS TO THE HIGHEST TRAIN STATION IN EUROPE.

MORE THAN 7 KILOMETERS OF THAT RAIL JOURNEY IS IN THE MOUNTAIN ITSELF.

THE RAILWAY TO THE JUNGFRAUJOCH IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE WORLD'S FOREMOST RAIL ENGINEERING FEATS.

IT TOOK 16 YEARS TO BUILD AND WAS COMPLETED IN 1912.

PRIOR TO THAT, THERE WERE 2 STATIONS THAT WERE OPEN: THE EIGER NORTH STATION IN 1902; IN 1905, THE EISMEER, THE SEA OF ICE STATION.

HERE WE GO.

YOUR FIRST STOP ON THE JUNGFRAUJOCH RAILWAY IS AT EIGER NORTH STATION, WHICH WAS THE END OF THE LINE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20th CENTURY.

WE'RE AT 9,400 FEET.

WE'RE INSIDE THE EIGER, AND WHAT'S MOST IMPRESSIVE TO ME ARE THESE WINDOWS FROM THE FACE OF THE EIGER OUT ONTO THE WORLD.

THE NEXT STOP ON THE JUNGFRAUJOCH RAILWAY IS IN MONCH MOUNTAIN AT 10,368 FEET, AT THE EISMEER STATION, THE SEA OF ICE STATION.

IT WAS THE END OF THE LINE FOR 7 YEARS, STARTING IN 1905.

NOW, THE REASON IT WAS THE END OF THE LINE IS BECAUSE THE NEXT MOUNTAIN, THE JUNGFRAU, IS MADE UP OF GRANITE, WHICH IS MUCH HARDER THAN MONCHOUNTAIN.

YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO GET OFF THE TRAIN AND TAKE IN THIS SPECTACULAR SCENERY.

IF YOU WANT TO STAY A LITTLE LONGER, PUT ON YOUR CRAMPONS AND HEAD OUT TO THE MITTELLEGI HUT, WHICH SLEEPS 40 PEOPLE IN RELATIVE COMFORT.

AS THE TRAIN TUNNELS THROUGH THE MAJESTIC EIGER AND MONCH MOUNTAINS, I PONDER THE MINDSET OF ADOLF GUYER-ZELLER, WHEN HE IMAGINED HIS RAILWAY TO THE SKY WHILE HIKING IN THE REGION IN 1893.

ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED AND PLANNED AS A TOURIST ATTRACTION, IT HAS FULFILLED ITS DESTINY IN A MAJOR WAY.

>> HI, JOSEPH.

HOW ARE YOU?

WELCOME TO THE TOP OF EUROPE.

>> YOU TOLD ME TO MEET YOU AT TOP OF EUROPE, AND HERE WE ARE.

>> THAT'S IT.

NOW, THIS IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW, JUST INSIDE FROM THE MAIN RAILWAY STATION.

BUT FIRST OF ALL, I THOUGHT WE'D GO AND HAVE A LOOK AT THE VIEW, AND THEN WE'LL COME DOWN THROUGH FROM THERE, WALK OUT HERE ONTO THE GLACIER ITSELF, AND MAYBE WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF FUN OUT THERE.

>> OK. >> AND THEN WE'LL GO THROUGH TO VISIT THE ICE PALACE.

>> SOUNDS GREAT.

I'M FOLLOWING YOU.

>> GREAT.

YOU'VE GOT THE MONCH MOUNTAIN, THE ONE THAT YOU JUST TRAVELED THROUGH BY TRAIN TO COME UP HERE.

AND JUST OVER ON YOUR LEFT, YOU'VE GOT THE JUNGFRAU MOUNTAIN.

SO THIS IS NOW THE JUNGFRAUJOCH, OR THE SADDLE OF THE JUNGFRAU, SITUATED BETWEEN THE 2 SUMMITS.

>> NOW, WHAT ARE WE SEEING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TERRACE?

>> HERE ON THE SOUTH SIDE, WE HAVE A VIEW OVER THE ALETSCH GLACIER, WHICH, AT 22 KILOMETERS, IS STILL THE LONGEST ONE HERE IN EUROPE.

>> LAST YEAR, WE WERE AT THE OTHER END, AT BETTMERALP, SO WE WERE ABLE TO WALK OUT ON THAT END.

IT'S WONDERFUL TO SEE IT ALL.

WHAT ELSE CAN PEOPLE DO, THOUGH, WHEN THEY'RE HERE, BESIDES JUST COME OUT AND LOOK AT THE SCENERY?

>> WELL, APART FROM VISITING THE ICE PALACE, YOU CAN ALSO GO OUTSIDE ONTO THE GLACIER, WHERE WE'VE GOT SUMMER SKIING, SNOWBOARDING, SNOW DISK, THE ZIP LINE.

>> THAT SOUNDS FUN.

>> IT IS.

>> WELL, LET'S GO DO SOMETHING.

>> OK, LET'S GO.

>> SO THEY TALKED ME INTO DOING THE ZIP LINE AND, YOU KNOW, DANIEL, I'VE DONE THIS IN THE JUNGLES OF GUATEMALA.

>> OK. >> LET'S SEE, I'VE ALSO DONE IT THROUGH THE TREES OF TASMANIA, AND NOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT OVER A GLACIER IN SWITZERLAND.

WHOA HOO HOO!

ZIP-LINING OVER THE ALETSCH GLACIER!

HERE COMES THE SNOW!

WHOA!

WHOA!

WHEW!

HA HA HA!

OH, WOW!

ALL RIGHT, SO LET ME TELL YOU, IT'S A LOT COLDER THAN GUATEMALA.

>> WHOO!

>> AT 11,000 FEET, CONDITIONS CAN CHANGE QUICKLY.

ONCE I GET BLOWN OFF THE GLACIER, SUSAN AND I FIND SHELTER INSIDE THE GLACIER AT THE JUNGFRAUJOCH'S ICE PALACE.

>> GOOD TEMPERATURE DROP, EH?

>> YES!

MY GOSH.

SUDDENLY IT GOT VERY COLD.

>> CAREFUL THERE.

IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT SLIPPERY, YEAH?

>> YES, IT SURE IS.

>> IF YOU HAVE RUBBER-SOLED SHOES, YOU SHOULD BE OK. >> WOW, THIS IS SLIPPERY.

>> HERE YOU ARE, RIGHT IN THE HEART OF-- >> WILL MY TONGUE STICK TO THE WALLS?

>> YES, IT WILL!

HA HA HA!

YOU'LL BE THERE FOR ANOTHER 10,000 YEARS.

WE'RE INSIDE A GLACIER... >> YEAH?

>> AND TO COMBAT THE EFFECTS OF ALL THE BODY TEMPERATURE EVERYBODY GIVES OFF, THEY ACTUALLY BLOW COLD AIR THROUGH HERE TO KEEP THE WALLS AT -2 CENTIGRADE.

NOW HERE WE ARE NOW IN THE ICE PALACE WITH THE ICE SCULPTURES.

THIS IS ONE OF 7 THAT WE HAVE HERE.

HA HA!

WHOOPS!

>> I'M SORRY, SUSAN.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLACE THAT JUST MAKES ME WANT TO DANCE.

[BOTH LAUGHING] >> DO NOT GIVE THIS GUY ANY MORE COFFEE TODAY, SO--HA HA HA!

>> WHOO!

>> AT THE ASPEN RESTAURANT IN GRINDELWALD, I LOOK BACK ON MY CONQUEST OF THE EIGER AND TOAST THE MOUNTAIN WITH A GLASS OF BEER.

>> JUST ME AND MY BIG, 13,000-FOOT FRIEND, THE EIGER, HAVING A BEER TOGETHER.

PROST.

>> PROST.

[ACCORDION PLAYING FESTIVE MUSIC] ON SUMMER NIGHTS IN SWITZERLAND, THE DIFFERENT VILLAGES HAVE A STREET FESTIVAL, AND HERE IN GRINDELWALD, IT'S ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS, AND THERE'S FOOD AND THERE'S MUSIC.

THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

>> [ALL SINGING] [SINGING ENDS, APPLAUSE] >> PETER, WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE GROUP THAT'S PERFORMING THERE?

>> IT'S THE FOLKLORE DANCING GROUP OF GRINDELWALD.

>> NOW, IS THIS A PROFESSIONAL GROUP OR JUST-- >> NO, NO, NO, JUST REGULAR PEOPLE.

HA HA HA!

>> SO YOU HAVE YODELING AND THEN YOU HAVE DANCERS.

>> YES, GRASS BAND, ALSO.

>> AND THIS HAPPENS EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT HERE IN GRINDELWALD?

>> IN SUMMER.

>> WELL, THANK YOU.

>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

ALL THE BEST TO THE STATES.

I'VE BEEN IN ALL 50 OF THEM.

>> ALL RIGHT!

I'M IMPRESSED.

[FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYING] [THUNDER] [CAR HORNS HONKING] >> IF YOU REALLY WANT TO GET A GOOD TASTE OF A REAL ALPINE EXPERIENCE, YOU MUST STAY IN ONE OF THE MANY HUTTES THAT ARE UP IN THE MOUNTAINS, AND BRUNO'S FAMILY HAS RUN THE GLECKSTEIN HUTTE FOR... >> 35 YEARS.

>> 35 YEARS.

IT'S ONLY A HALF-HOUR BUS RIDE UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS AROUND GRINDELWALD TO THE TRAIL HEAD TO THE HUT, SO LET'S GET GOING.

>> LET'S GO [INDISTINCT].

>> WHOA.

IT'S A LITTLE STEEP OF A DROP HERE, BRUNO.

>> YES.

CAN YOU IMAGINE, PEOPLE, THEY CARRIED EVERYTHING UP, ALL THE MATERIAL FOR THE HUT?

>> NO, I CAN'T.

HEH HEH!

YOU NEED TO BE A MOUNTAIN GOAT TO GET AROUND HERE.

BRUNO, DID YOUR FAMILY LAY THESE CABLES?

>> YEAH, MY FATHER LAID MOST OF THESE CABLES AND HE JUST TRIED TO KEEP THEM IN SHAPE.

>> WELL, THANK YOU TO YOUR FATHER.

>> YEAH.

>> BRUNO, THIS IS LIKE A WILDFLOWER GARDEN.

>> YEAH, IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ISN'T IT?

>> OH, IT IS.

>> YOU SEE THE YELLOW EISENHUT HERE?

>> EISENHUT?

>> [INDISTINCT] >> OH, THIS IS LIKE A TROPICAL FLOWER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ALPS.

>> ALMOST EXOTIC UP HERE.

>> THAT'S FABULOUS.

>> OVER THERE YOU SEE THE ALPEN ROSE, WHICH IS A VERY FAMOUS SWISS ALPINE FLOWER.

>> IS THAT TRAFFIC, THAT NOISE BELOW?

>> NO, THAT'S THE RIVER FROM THE GLACIER.

YOU CAN HEAR IT.

>> I'VE LIVED IN THE CITY TOO LONG.

>> HEH HEH HEH!

>> HEY, A WATERFALL.

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT'S IT CALLED?

>> IT'S THE WIESFOCH... >> UH-HUH.

>> WHICH MEANS "WHITE STREAM."

>> HOW HIGH UP DOES IT START?

>> IT STARTS ABOUT 2,500 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL.

>> ABOUT 8,000 FEET.

>> YES, EXACTLY.

SO BE CAREFUL HERE.

IT'S SLIPPERY.

>> LOOKS LIKE A NICE SHOWER.

>> YES, A NICE SHOWER HERE.

HEH HEH HEH!

>> HOO HOO!

WHOA!

HA HA HA!

>> WELL, THE FOG IS TRYING TO LIFT.

YOU CAN SEE GRINDELWALD VILLAGE NOW.

>> IT'S CLEARING.

>> YEAH.

>> NOW YOU SEE THE GLACIER LINE.

20 YEARS AGO, THE GLACIER WAS FROM THIS GREEN LINE TO THIS GREEN LINE.

THAT WAS ONE GLACIER, AND NOW THAT'S WHAT'S LEFT.

>> 20 YEARS AGO ONLY?

>> YEAH.

IT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

IN THE VALLEY THERE ARE 2 GLACIERS.

THIS IS THE UPPER AND THEN WE HAVE THE LOWER, AND THEY BOTH REACHED THROUGH THE VILLAGE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

>> IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS COME TO SWITZERLAND.

>> HERE, TOO, WE HAVE A GREAT VIEW HERE.

>> THIS IS THE PIECE DE RESISTANCE.

>> THEN YOU SEE THAT'S ALL PART OF THE UPPER GRINDELWALD GLACIER, AND BECAUSE IT FLOWS LIKE A RIVER, THESE BLOCKS OF ICE, THEY BREAK DOWN.

>> I'VE ALREADY COUNTED 10 WATERFALLS COMING OFF THE SIDES OF THE MOUNTAIN, OFF THE GLACIER.

IT'S JUST EXTRAORDINARY.

>> ON TO THE HUT?

>> OK, LET'S GO TO THE HUT.

SO...WELL DONE, JOE.

WE MADE IT.

>> WE DID.

>> YEAH.

>> IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

>> [SPEAKS FOREIGN WORD] >> [REPEATS FOREIGN WORD] >> "CONGRATULATIONS."

>> OH!

MERCI!

THANK YOU!

BEAUTIFUL.

IT WAS WORTH IT.

VAYA LA PENA.

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

>> NO.

>> "IT WAS WORTH THE EFFORT."

>> YEAH, OK. WELL, COME TO THE HUT.

>> LOCATED AT 7,602 FEET ON A ROCK OUTCROPPING OVERLOOKING THE UPPER GRINDELWALD GLACIER, THE GLECKSTEIN HUT HAS A LONG HISTORY.

WINSTON CHURCHILL SLEPT IN A HUT ON THIS SPOT IN 1894.

THE PRESENT BUILDING DATES FROM 1978 AND OFFERS COMFORTABLE BEDS, A RESTAURANT, AND HOT SHOWERS.

IT MAY NOT BE AS EASY TO GET TO AS A JUNGFRAUJOCH...

BUT THE EXPERIENCE IS PURE SWITZERLAND.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> ANOTHER SHOWCASE ATTRACTION IN THE JUNGFRAU REGION IS THE LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY.

FROM THE VALLEY FLOOR, SHEER ROCK CLIFFS RISE MORE THAN 3,000 FEET, AND WITH ITS MANY WATERFALLS, IT IS CONSIDERED THE MOST PICTURESQUE VALLEY IN EUROPE.

ELEGANT STAUBBACH FALLS, THE LARGEST IN SWITZERLAND, PLUNGES 984 FEET TO THE VALLEY BELOW.

>> PETER, THAT'S SUCH A BEAUTIFUL, DELICATE, GRACEFUL WATERFALL.

I UNDERSTAND IT'S THE LARGEST FREE-FALLING ONE HERE IN SWITZERLAND.

>> IN SWITZERLAND, YES.

>> YEAH, LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY HAS BEEN CALLED THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VALLEY IN SWITZERLAND.

WHY IS THAT?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

>> IT DEPEND OF THE WATERFALLS.

THE NAME LAUTERBRUNNEN IS IN 2 PARTS: "LAUTERBRUNNEN"-- "MANY WATERS."

>> HOW MANY WATERS ARE THERE?

>> THERE ARE AT LEAST 300 FALLS ALL AROUND THE VALLEY.

>> AND THIS, OF COURSE, IS THE LARGEST.

>> THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FALL, YEAH.

THE HEIGHT IS ABOUT 300 METERS FROM THE TOP TO THE GROUND.

>> IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND PEACEFUL, AND I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF THE LUSHNESS THAT YOU DON'T GET IN OTHER MOUNTAIN AREAS.

>> THE COLOR OF THE VALLEY IS HARMONIOUS.

FIRST YOU HAVE GREEN, THEN GRAY, WHITE, AND THEN THE BLUE SKY.

>> SORT OF MAKES YOU FEEL IN HARMONY WITH THE BEAUTIFUL NATURE AND THESE BEAUTIFUL PEAKS.

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE THAT ARE LIVING UP HERE ON THE MOUNTAINSIDES.

>> YEAH.

FIRST THEY LIVED UP ON THIS HEIGHT, ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VALLEY.

THE MAIN VILLAGE HERE IN LAUTERBRUNNEN WAS THE LAST ONE.

HERE THEY COULDN'T LIVE BECAUSE THERE WAS TOO MUCH [INDISTINCT].

>> FROM THE GLACIERS?

>> FROM THE GLACIERS.

>> ONLY SLOWLY, WITH ONE STEP AFTER THE OTHER, PEOPLE COULD LIVE HERE.

>> ON THE GREEN MOUNTAIN SLOPES OF THE LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY, FARMERS HAVE BEEN SURVIVING FOR CENTURIES.

AT STAEGERHOF, GENERATIONS OF NIKLAUS STAEGER'S FAMILY HAVE RAISED GOATS AND COWS.

>> WHAT'S IT LIKE BEING A DAIRY FARMER HERE IN SWITZERLAND?

>> MMM.

>> UH-HUH.

NIKLAUS, HOW LONG HAS YOUR FAMILY BEEN HERE IN THE JUNGFRAU?

>> HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN HERE AT THE FARM?

>> THAT'S AMAZING.

HOW LONG DID YOUR GRANDFATHER LIVE?

>> AH, 90 YEARS.

WELL, I GUESS SO, IF YOU'RE CLIMBING THE ALPS EVERY DAY.

NIKLAUS, HOW MANY COWS DO YOU HAVE?

>> DO THEY EVER FALL OFF THE HILL?

>> HA HA HA HA!

>> KEEPING WITH THE REGION'S TOURISM TRADITION, SMALL FAMILY FARMERS LIKE THE STAEGERS OPEN THEIR DOORS TO VISITORS INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT SWITZERLAND'S MOST UBIQUITOUS PRODUCT, CHEESE.

>> I'M WITH RICHARD AND HIS FAMILY, AND YOU GUYS CAME HERE FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC.

>> YEAH.

>> TO LEARN ABOUT CHEESE?

>> ABOUT CHEESE, YEAH.

>> YES, WHY?

WHAT WAS IT ABOUT CHEESE?

ARE YOU A CHEESE FARMER AT HOME IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC?

>> NO, NOT AT ALL.

BECAUSE I THINK IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO FIND OUT HOW THEY PRODUCE THE CHEESE BECAUSE SWITZERLAND IS VERY FAMOUS FOR ITS CHEESE.

>> AND IT'S NICE TO LEARN ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE COUNTRY.

>> YEAH.

>> HOW'S THAT MUESLI?

>> MUESLI.

>> MUESLI.

>> THIS IS THE LOCAL TRADITIONAL CHEESE.

I'VE NEVER TASTED WITH MILK.

WHAT DO YOU SAY IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC?

>> NA ZDRAVI.

>> NA ZDRAVI.

[TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS] >> WE'RE TAKING THE COG TRAIN UP TO WENGEN, ONE OF THE SMALL CAR-FREE VILLAGES HERE IN THE LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY.

>> ALTHOUGH THE RESORT VILLAGE OF WENGEN HAS BEEN WELCOMING HOLIDAYMAKERS SINCE THE 1800s, THE COMMUNITY OF A THOUSAND INHABITANTS STILL EXUDES A GENUINE SWISS CHARACTER.

ALONG ITS STEEP, NARROW SHELVES OF PASTURELAND, THE MOUNTAIN FARMER STILL THRIVES.

>> [CHANTING IN GERMAN] >> WERNER?

>> HELLO, JOSEPH.

>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING, FEEDING YOUR GOATS?

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT KIND OF GOATS ARE THEY?

>> THIS IS PFAUENZIEGEN.

>> THAT MEANS, LIKE, PEACOCK.

>> YEAH.

>> CAN I GIVE THEM SOME-- >> YEAH, SURE.

>> WHOA!

>> WHOA!

>> I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE PARTICULAR GOATS, THEY'RE ALMOST GOING EXTINCT.

HOW MANY GOATS ARE THERE ALL THROUGHOUT EUROPE NOW?

>> 2,500.

>> HOW MANY GOATS DO YOU HAVE?

>> I HAVE 14.

2 IS IN THE ALPS.

>> HOW COME THEY'RE IN THE ALPS?

>> FOR MILKING AND TO MAKE CHEESE.

>> OH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THE CHEESE?

>> YEAH, WE HAVE.

>> MMM!

AH, VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD.

OH.

DANKE, DANKE.

LOOK AT THIS.

PLEASE, CHRISTINE, PLEASE JOIN US.

I'LL SIT HERE BECAUSE YOU GET TO SEE THIS EVERY DAY AND I ONLY GET TO SEE THIS ONCE.

I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU'RE WORKING HARD TO PRESERVE THE SPECIAL SWISS BREED OF GOATS.

THEY SEEM TO BE VERY CLOSELY CONNECTED TO THE IBEX WE SAW UP IN THE ALPS.

>> YES, AND THEY ARE, I'D SAY, STRONG, SO WHEN IT'S COLD, IT'S NOT REALLY A PROBLEM FOR THEM.

>> WHY DID PEOPLE NOT LIKE THESE GOATS, THAT THEY LET THEM GET DOWN TO JUST, LIKE HE SAID, ENOUGH FOR, LIKE, 2 HANDS?

>> WITH PEOPLE, THEY'RE VERY FRIENDLY, BUT NOT TOGETHER.

SO THEY HAVE BIG HORNS, THEY-- >> THEY HIT EACH OTHER, JUST LIKE THE IBEX DO, RIGHT?

SO THEY'RE KIND OF A LITTLE BIT WILD AND PEOPLE DIDN'T LIKE THAT.

THEY WANTED VERY TAME, DOMESTICATED GOATS.

>> RIGHT.

>> BUT IT'S SO WONDERFUL THAT YOU'RE WORKING HARD TO PROTECT IT.

WELL, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL TO BE SITTING HERE LOOKING OUT ON THE LAUTERBRUNNEN VALLEY, AND THEY SAY THAT THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VALLEY IN EUROPE.

AND I TELL YOU WHAT, TODAY I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH IT, AND YOU A BEAUTIFUL DAY, SO DANKE.

>> [INDISTINCT] [HORNS PLAYING SLOW TUNE] >> THERE'S A SUMMER FESTIVAL TODAY IN WENGEN.

WERNER'S GOATS ARE LEADING THE PARADE, AND I VOLUNTEER TO PLAY GOAT HERDER.

>> OK!

>> OK, WE TURN AND COME IN TO MUSIC.

HA HA!

>> ALL RIGHT, COME ON!

[BAND PLAYING PARADE MUSIC] >> YOU GOT TO GO THE SPEED OF THE GOATS.

[INDISTINCT] AND THEY'RE MUCH FASTER THAN I AM BECAUSE THE MORE YOU RUN, THE MORE THEY RUN.

[PANTS] NO, NO!

>> [WERNER SHOUTING IN GERMAN] >> NO, NO, NO, NO!

>> [SHOUTING IN GERMAN] >> [PANTING] >> [WERNER SHOUTING IN GERMAN] >> AH!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE'S GOING!

THAT LAST BAND WAS THE LOCAL WENGEN PEOPLE PLAYING THE WENGEN TOWN SONG.

THIS IS SUCH A SWEET LOCAL VILLAGE FESTIVAL.

IT'S REALLY WONDERFUL.

YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD OF RUNNING WITH THE BULLS.

I'M PROUD TO SAY THAT I RAN WITH THE GOATS.

AND NOW WE'RE GONNA GO INTO THE TENT AND THERE'S GONNA BE FOLK MUSIC AND DANCING.

COME ON.

WELL, THE MUSIC'S RIGHT, THE BEER IS RIGHT, THE TENT IS RIGHT.

WE'RE IN A GERMANIC PART OF SWITZERLAND, AND THIS IS TRADITIONAL TO HAVE A BEER TENT AND THE PEOPLE ARE GONNA BE HERE THE PARADE'S OVER, BUT THE PARTY GOES ON, SO...PROST!

[MUSIC CONTINUES] [MUSIC ENDS] [CHEERS AND APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME ON MY JUNGFRAU SWITZERLAND ADVENTURE.

SURROUNDED BY SWITZERLAND'S MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPE, I AM IN AWE OF THE POWER AND THE ENDURING BEAUTY OF NATURE, YET I KNOW IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO UPSET THE BALANCE AND DESTROY THE MAJESTY.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS FORCES THAT AFFECT OUR NATURAL WORLD.

AT ONE TIME, MAN THOUGHT THAT HE MUST PACIFY NATURE AND BEND OUR PLANET'S WONDERS TO HIS WILL.

THESE DAYS, WE UNDERSTAND THAT WE MUST BE A PART OF THE NATURAL, RATHER THAN APART FROM IT.

THE SWISS UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF NATURE; IT IS NOT A LUXURY RESERVED FOR A FEW, BUT A TREASURE SHARED BY ALL.

AND ALTHOUGH THEY PASS MEASURES TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THIS NATURAL RESOURCE, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THE ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE PROTECTION OF NATURE IS OUR LOVE FOR IT.

IN SWITZERLAND, AND IN PARTICULAR THE JUNGFRAU REGION, NATURE'S GRANDEUR IS READILY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL.

UNTIL NEXT TIME, THIS IS JOSEPH ROSENDO REMINDING YOU OF THE WORDS OF MARK TWAIN: "TRAVEL IS FATAL TO PREJUDICE, BIGOTRY, AND NARROW-MINDEDNESS."

HAPPY TRAVELING.
