Plot

On the second day at the Steineralm, Anna is shown how to milk by Kati, the dairymaid. Soon she will have to be able to do it on her own. The calves get part of the milk. Anna is only too happy to take over feeding Xaver and his siblings. Then she meets Friedi, the slack liner. The rope acrobat teaches her how to balance on a taut ribbon. He himself is in the mountains looking for a suitable location for a high line: in other words, a slack line hundreds of meters above the ground. In a few weeks, the spectacle is to take place. But first there is a rude awakening: a predator has struck in the chicken cage. The search for the culprit begins. Anna spends a summer on the mountain pasture - together with cottage dog Lukki, the cows, calves, chickens, ducks and many other surprise guests. Anna is not here for pleasure. She wants to find out how hard the work is on an alpine hut and helps dairymaid Kati wherever she can. This includes herding and milking cows, mucking out the barn, making hay and sweeping and feeding numerous visitors who are hungry and thirsty after a hike. Anna gets quite out of breath. But besides the work, there is also time for fun. Anna meets Friedi, one of the world's best slack liners. He teaches the reporter how to balance on a narrow, taut band. With naturalist Steffi, Anna observes cute marmots doing their gymnastic exercises on the mountain slopes and learns exciting information about the life of the mountain dwellers. And with forester Christian and hunting dog Nira, Anna sets off in search of tracks in the mountain forest. Every day a new adventure awaits the young alpine dairymaid.—Zalhera
