We were on the weirdest event ever.The Rabensteiner Bauernmeisterschaften. Where local farmers do a relay with hay-sledging and iceclimbing.And when you win, you get a sheep. What better price could you ever imagine! Just ‘priceless’ :) See here the result. (Oh, yes, that song is Dutch, about a yodel-boy, thats why…) ↵ Use original player …
