25.07.2015: Day 5

Klettergarten

For today the plan was to visit the power station, but unfortunately it had to be changed: at breakfast we were told that we would go into the DAV adventure crag with 26 routes, called a climbing garden. Really beautiful name for a place but unfortunately again we didn't reach the place. First of all going there we had two maps and both showed different location for the climbing garden, but then we found an amazingly steep, bush-covered mountain-slope and we decided to climb it up.

After a difficult descent from the mountain side we continued on our way but soon it was interrupted again. We reached a river which started from the Gepatschferner. Of course everyone wanted to see how cold the water was and so boots and socks were taken off and we all went into the river. It was really cold and that's the reason why we wanted to complete against each other who could stay longest in the water. Our winner was Leda, the second place belonged to Kamil.

 One world - changing the game

Soon it was time to start moving again but now our group split into two, some went back to Gepatschhaus but Kamil, Kaius, Merlin and Lucia decided to hike a bit further. They finally reached Red Rocks and this place was simply stunning.
However, 12:30 was the time at which everyone had to be back at Gepatschhaus because Justus had prepared several activities for the afternoon. First of them was a presentation on energy production and we learned about energy as such, sustainability and also about the energy system in Germany and the first rule of thermodynamics in energy productions perspectives. After a short break (which was spent sleeping), we played the game "One world - changing the game".

In the game we had to create sustainable energy system for Northern Europe in 2030. We discussed cons and pros of different energy production ways and formulated targets for 2030, for example CO2 emissions, oil and gas use etc. Then we had to decide what to change in the world of energy use financed by 14 billion Euros.

For dinner we were served with broccoli soup, rice and strogranoff and ice cream. Next it was time for the simulation game. Today we had to find and save (well, sink it) a burning Russian LNG-tanker in a storm. Then, as a tradition in I.C.E. camps, a football was covered with our signatures and memorables from our camp.
