After dinner, we walked for another few minutes to the Alp Bommen. At this mystical place we spent the night in the middle of cows and cheese. We spent the evening outside together with the family Peterer with a good glass of wine. It was so calm and we could see millions of stars and even the milky way. The night we spent in a dorm in a little alpine hut. It is also possible to sleep in the straw above the animals. In the morning we got up at 6a.m. so that we could see the wonderful sunrise. Afterwards we went to the father of the family. He is cheesemaker and produces cheese out of the milk his 24 cows give every day. We could help him with the cheese production and learn about cheese making. It was very interesting. After this good start into the day, we could enjoy a good breakfast with fresh milk, homemade cheese and more.

| The "Höhlenkäse" (cave cheese) is a speciality on the alp. The cheese rests in the cave for one year which gives him a very special taste. The family produces 3.5 tons of cheese every saison! And they all sell it directly on the alp. If you spend the night on the Alp Bommen and tell them our code word "TraineesOnTour" you will even get a piece of cheese to take with. |
