Wild Hungary

Wild Hungary

"Wild Hungary - A Water Wonderland" is a wildlife documentary about a white-tailed eagle family, a young otter and a giant catfish that share the wetlands of this country in Central Europe. Hungary lies in the bottom of the huge Pannonian Basin encircled by the peaks of the Alps and the Carpathians. Countless rivers and streams run from the mountains into the heart of the basin like the Danube or the Tisza and the countryside is densely scattered with thousands of lakes as well. In such a water paradise it's not surprising that wildlife is flourishing, often quite close to human settlements or well-known tourist destinations like the Lake Balaton or the Hungarian Puszta. "Wild Hungary" is also the story of a fisherman and a herdsman for whom the rhythm of the river and the moving of the water makes the yearly calendar. "Wild Hungary" offers a view behind the clichés that lives about this country. And there are much more to taste than the famous goulash soup.

Wild Poland

Wild Poland

Where in Europe are bisons still to be found in the wild? And where do probably more migratory birds breed than in any other European country? The flora and fauna of Poland are full of surprises: the South is dominated by the 2000m peaks of the Tatra, to the North-East the Biebrza river forms one of the largest swamp regions of Europe, a paradise for rare birds like the ruff. Masuria is the breeding-ground for thousands of white storks, more than anywhere else on Earth. The much shier and rarer black stork also finds refuge in the large expanses of forest that stretch to the Baltic Sea. In winter, an icy wind sweeps Eastern Poland and only those with a thick skin survive in the region bordering Belorus. The cold doesn't bother the bison. Thick coats protect these ancient cattle against the snow and icy wind, but lack of food in winter does present a problem. The bison here are among the last of their kind. Once upon a time, huge herds roamed most of the European continent, today the only bison in Central Europe living in the wild are located in Eastern Poland. Poland's hard winters are no problem for otter and beaver, whose extremely dense coats protect them against the cold and enable them to swim and dive in the icy water. Although both animals are water-dwellers, they're not rivals: beavers are vegetarians and in winter eat stores of leaves and bark. Otters are active hunters all year round and live on fish and crabs. As soon as spring arrives in Poland, the river Biebrza becomes a hive of activity: thousands of birds vie with each other to be heard as they use the vast area of swampland to rest and breed. White-winged black terns and black-necked grebes build their nests, then the mating season begins for the ruffs, with the males strutting their stuff for potential mates.

Episode 2

Episode 2

In this episode of the documentary series Andreas Kieling encounters the last gorillas in the mountain rainforests of the border areas between the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda and sets off in search of the perhaps most aggressive descendant of the dinosaurs, the saltwater crocodile, in Australia. With the help of local guides Andreas Kieling attempts to track down lions in a small region of India and encounters the elepahnt, the most hated at the same time most respected creature in Africa. Near Cape Town in Struis Bay, the filmmaker meets a woman who feeds seven stingrays each morning and evening.

Between Finland and Sweden

Between Finland and Sweden

The Baltic Sea is the youngest ocean in the world and first evolved after the last Ice Age. We think we know everything about it, yet still it has many surprises in store. Wind and waves still shape the shores of the Baltic Sea to this day. The third episode takes us to the Bay of Bothnia. More than double the size of the Netherlands, it is the most unknown region of the Baltic Sea. In the winter, the Baltic Sea freezes over at a length of 300 kilometres. In this 1-metre-thick ice tank, the third species of seal - alongside the grey seal and common seal - copes well with the Baltic Sea. The ringed seal is perfectly adapted to the Arctic winter and carves out breathing holes into the ice. More than 10,000 of the animals still live between Sweden and Finland. The Bay of Bothnia only has a salt content of just 1%, which is why it freezes quicker than other regions of the Baltic Sea. Many rivers disembogue here and “sweeten” the sea. The Tornio is the longest natural river in Europe. It forms the border between Sweden and Finland. Even when frost is severe, the Kukkolaforsen rapids in Sweden never freeze over, otters go hunting here. When it gets dark in the winter, solar winds conjure colourful light effects in the Baltic Sea sky. The Aurora Borealis can be seen in the northern regions of the Baltic Sea as of mid-October. The coast of Lapland is also the home of the reindeer. The Sami's, reindeer breeders, bring their herds in winter to the Baltic Sea, as the snow is not as deep here as it is further inland and the animals have better access to lichens and mosses. When Lapland's coast is still frozen, 300 kilometres further south in the Kvarken Archipelago, a special spectacle takes place. Millions of fish head for the coast. Barrier beaches prevent them from reaching the coastal lagoons. They can only spawn where the water is salt-free.
