This time, Anna is mistaken. The word „Schnüffler“ does exist. Can you explain where the word comes from? I will tell Anna. Write your answer below in the comments and send it to me.

(Note: The word „Schnüffler“ comes from the German verb „schnüffeln,“ which means to sniff or smell, particularly in an inquisitive or investigative manner. „Schnüffler“ is commonly used to describe someone who is nosy or prying, trying to find out information or secrets.)

Where does the word „Sniffer“ come from?

The mills in the Black Forest are powered by water flowing from the mountains down to the valley. In flat regions like Holland, there are windmills that are powered by the wind. Even today, in the Black Forest, there are still mills that grind wheat into flour using water power. But how is wheat turned into flour? Write the answer in the comments below and send it to me. Then I can tell Anna and her brother, who have already asked me about it.

Answer: To turn wheat into flour, the wheat grains are first cleaned to remove any impurities or foreign particles. Then, the wheat is ground into flour through a process called milling. The milling process involves crushing the grains between two large stones or metal rollers to break them apart and create a fine powder. The resulting flour is then sifted to separate any remaining coarse particles, leaving behind the smooth and fine wheat flour that we commonly use for baking and cooking.

Anna and her brother continue their journey towards St. Peter. As they pass through Denzlingen, they can already see Glottertal in the distance. „In Glottertal, there used to be the famous Schwarzwaldklinik (Black Forest Clinic). Buses with tourists who wanted to visit the clinic came from all over,“ explains Anna’s brother. „Some even wanted to have surgery there!“

„Why not?“ asks Anna.

Can you explain why having a real operation at the Schwarzwaldklinik was not a good idea? Then write your answer in the comments below. I will then explain it to Anna.

after the excitement with the strange noise, which turned out to be just the roaring of a deer, Anna and her brother discover peculiar tracks on the forest floor. These are traces of an „ast Siberian Eumel Flying Dragon,“ says Anna’s brother, grinning. „He has no clue again,“ thinks Anna. „Just babbling nonsense!“

After the adventure with the thunderstorm, which Anna and her brother survived thanks to your help, they continue hiking happily. They enter a forest where they discover numerous white flowers on the forest floor. „What kind of flowers are these?“ Anna asks her brother. „Am I Jesus, do I know everything?“ he replies and continues walking. But Anna wants to know. Can you help her?

If you know the name of the flowers, write your answer below in the comment and send it to me. I can then pass it on to Anna.

Good luck!
