In southeastern Iceland, Europe's largest glacier, the gigantic Vatnajökull, covers an area of around 9,000 square kilometers. Beneath it lie the world's most active and dangerous volcanoes. This extreme landscape is as dangerous as it is fascinating: glistening white glacier tongues, lagoons covered with icebergs, bizarre green lava mountains, snow-covered volcanic cones, solidified lava flows and imposing waterfalls overwhelm everyone who gets to see them. In 2008, Icelanders declared the glacier and adjacent areas a national park, the largest in Europe. In this documentary, the team meets people who live, work or do research here: a life with the dangers of fire and ice in the overwhelming landscape of Vatnajökull National Park.

Wild & Wide Awake

Wild & Wide Awake

The first part of the spring journey takes us from the Spanish inland to the rugged Atlantic and to the Mediterranean, through the French Provence, and finally into the Alps. Along the way, flamingos perform their bizarre dancing rituals, wild horses storm through the wetland… While the North is still covered by snow and ice, the South will soon turn into a blooming garden and every creature is enjoying the first signs of the awakening.

Germany's Mystic Forest

Germany's Mystic Forest

2.000 rivers and streams dig deep into the underground and transport their water into reservoirs or "Germany's Wild Amazon", the Wupper. These forests and rivers, together with heathlands and moors, are home to a diverse fauna. Martens, badgers, wild boars, hares, roe deer, and red deer, even black grouse and hazel deer find shelter in these parts. Wolves also have a dominant presence, not to mention those who live underground, such as lizards, bats, and snakes. Accompany us on a journey where we explore every corner of this rugged land. Climb underground into the Bergisches Land, through the vast hidden cave systems that sprawl far beneath the forests. There is also much to be discovered in the water, dive with us in crystal clear streams and rivers with their diverse flora and fauna.

Antarctica

Antarctica

The Antarctic region is undoubtedly one of the most remote and inhospitable, yet one of the most beautiful landscapes of the world. This documentary takes us on a journey to the stormy isolated islands of the Southern Ocean. Seals, penguins, seabirds and numerous other animals live and breed in this hostile environment and harsh climate. Only by an icebreaker can we reach the remote coasts of the Antarctic continent where Emperor Penguins defy the life-threatening environment of the vast ice desert at the end of the world.

Deadly Roads

Deadly Roads

Some risks on these car routes have natural causes: Extreme weather, avalanches and landslides. In some areas, the locals even believe that evil spirits kill travelers. But many of the dangers are man-made: robbers or terrorists lie in wait for travelers, and tough labor pressures, social hardship and greedy mass-transit businesses also cause tragic driving accidents around the world. In the 20th century alone, 35 million people died on roads worldwide - plus 1.5 billion injured!

Magic Lakes

Magic Lakes

At 117 square kilometres, the Müritz is the largest lake on German territory, but it's far from the only one in the north east of the country. Even the Mecklenburg Lake District, between Waren and Feldberg, contains around 2 lakes alone. Thanks to the Müritz National Park the species diversity is particularly high in the region: half of the German crane population breeds in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern the osprey is typical of the Müritz area the lively Eurasian otter hunts here and the endangered red milan circles the skies above. Fred Bollmann knows the national park like hardly any other. The former ranger and voluntary nature conservationist is actively involved in the preservation of ‘his' wildlife world. Filming for this production took two years. The outcome is a unique portrait of this stunning region.

Wild Skagerrak

Wild Skagerrak

The strait that connects the North Sea with the Baltic, with depths of over 700 metres, is notorious for its dangerously strong currents. But currents also mean food and therefore nourishment for the large swarms of fish that inhabit the region. The sea grass meadows are comparable with those off the Californian coast. Harbour seals, grey seals and orcas hunt here, as do the rare black mouth cat shark and porpoises. Close by, catfish mate, which in itself is quite spectacular and never caught on film in this way before. Lion's mane jellyfish with nettle threads of up to 30 metres in length make their way through the open sea. Skagerrak's coastal regions are amongst the most beautiful and varied in Europe and boast one of the world's great bird paradises. Oystercatchers, sandwich and arctic terns are more plentiful here than anywhere else in Europe. The infinitely long dune landscape of the Skagerrak, is Denmark's answer to the skerries of the Swedish and Norwegian coasts. Large seal colonies can be found in the isolation of the small, picturesque islands and one can come face to face with the animals. In this rough, yet infinitely beautiful landscape, the many streams and rivers that open out into the Skagerrak, are quite remarkable. We accompany salmon in an equally beautiful river landscape and meet with ospreys and sea eagles and eventually come face to face with a brown bear mother and her little ones.

Europe's far North

Europe's far North

Lofoten is the rugged archipelago in the Norwegian Arctic Ocean. Whoever arrives here is really at the end. Moskenes is the end of the line, and anyone who wants to go further needs a boat or a plane. The only way to get to the open sea is via the Maelstrom, which is quite dangerous. On the outermost headland, there are only a few ruins left. The last inhabitants are long gone, a supply was hardly possible. But fishermen are on the way, mainly to catch cod. And there is the coastal administration, which takes care of broken sea marks and lighthouses. A visit to one of the luxurious ships of the Hurtig Line is not to be missed. They shuttle off rough coasts on an eleven-day trip between the Russian border and southern Norway. A floating workplace for a wide variety of professions. The island of Andøya is not served by the Hurtiglinie. It lies too far out in the Atlantic. One of the most important observatories in Europe is located here. A young woman, Sandra Blindheim, is the boss. She is responsible for the large laser that delivers important information to scientists around the world. On clear winter nights, there is a wonderful panoramic view of the aurora borealis.

Legendary Paddle Steamers

Legendary Paddle Steamers

Lake Lucerne in the heart of Switzerland stretches from the foothills of the Alps to the first three-thousand-meter peaks of the high mountains. Home waters of the paddle steamer Unterwalden. For two and a half years she was not on the water. Now, after the biggest renovation in her history, the life of the 110-year-old paddle steamer is starting all over again. Her first voyages, with all the imponderables and challenges for the crew, take her into a diverse, wild landscape, right into the mystical heart of Switzerland. In their territory, scenic contrasts collide: barren high moorland and gently rolling alpine meadows, modern tourist resorts and quiet mountain villages, caves hidden deep in the earth and snow-covered two-thousand-meter peaks. The Unterwalden is part of the oldest and largest fleet of paddle steamers so high above the sea. Here on Lake Lucerne, according to national legend, the three original cantons swore eternal allegiance to each other over seven hundred years ago. A land around which countless myths entwine and whose lifeline since the opening of the Gotthard Pass in the thirteenth century was the shipping traffic on the lake.

Legendary Paddle Steamers

With a length of more than 1000 kilometers, the Elbe is one of the largest rivers in Europe. The river has shaped landscapes since time immemorial: geologically, economically and culturally. One of the most beautiful sections of the river - in Saxony in southeastern Germany - has been navigated by the Saxon Steamship Company since 1836. One of its most beautiful ships is the Diesbar. Its engine is considered the oldest paddle steamer engine still in use in the world, the ship is the only steamer in the fleet still powered by coal.

Lunenburg: Where the Land Meets the Sea

Lunenburg: Where the Land Meets the Sea

On the east coast of Canada, a place whose name sounds strangely familiar. The small town of Lunenburg, west of Halifax, was founded in 1753 by North German immigrants. Today, the idyllic town with its many wooden houses is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the 19th century, Lunenburg was one of the richest towns in the British Empire, becoming prosperous through fishing and shipbuilding. Glenn Rhodenizer's family traces back ten generations directly to German immigrants. And what the Rhodenizers primarily grow on their fields directly by the sea could hardly be more typical: it is white cabbage, which the farming family processes into sauerkraut. Sauerkraut can be found in every restaurant and supermarket in this area it is the specialty of the region. The heritage of wooden boat building is successfully maintained by David Westergard. In his ancient shed, he is assembling a 20-meter schooner from four different types of local wood. Building wooden boats, he says, is like "slow food": sustainable, conscious, environmentally friendly, waste-free.
