Mountains

Mountains

A mother lynx feeds on freshly caught prey with her cubs, agile chamoix leap along mountain ledges, bee-eaters dig nesting holes in vineyards, black storks bring up their young on narrow ridges. From the rugged peaks of the Alps and the dark woods of the Black Forest to the sandstone cliffs of Saxonian Switzerland, Germany's mountains are home to very special animals. The episode Mountains from the four-part series Wild Germany shows a world full of breath-taking images. We witness the first few days of baby marmots in Alpine meadows, inexperienced and unaware of the dangers lurking outside the den. The opportunity that the golden eagle in the cliff face has been waiting for. Taking to the air, it glides over the steeply sloping pasture. The older marmots recognize the danger and send out shrill alarm whistles. Will the younger marmots heed the warnings in time? It's been more than 150 years since the last lynx was seen in Germany. After a reintroduction project in the Czech Republic, the first big cats crossed the border into the Bavarian forest. Similar projects in the Harz mountains have also brought the lynx back to Northern Germany. Only 30km South of Dresden, majestic table mountains stretch into the sky: Saxonian Switzerland with its unspoilt rocky cliffs and towers. Habitat of peregrine falcons and white-throated dippers, as well as the shy and seldom seen dormouse. The spectacular beauty and diversity of form of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains are unique in Europe. The film shows the magnificence of the mountains in the different seasons and the rich variety of flora and fauna. Unique animal footage rounds off the portrait of landscapes which have much more than just barren rocks to offer.

Wild Serbia

Wild Serbia

Serbia is in the heart of the Balkans, a “little Europe“ within Europe with its rich variety of landscapes and natural beauties, it certainly does this name justice. This nature documentary presents Serbia's breath-taking, picturesque regions and unique wildlife on a journey to the most beautiful and wildest areas of the Balkan peninsula, from high mountains across gentle hills to the vast plains of the Puszta. Serbia is only about five times the size of Schleswig Holstein, yet here the most varied vegetation zones, animal kingdoms and cultures meet. And even today a large number of Serbian people live in close communion with nature. They are proud of the storks' nests in the villages, the ancient species of livestock that have been preserved and the vultures that return to make their home here. In many places people are pleased to see bears, lynx and wolves, and even jackals are at home in the forests of Siberia. It is a country full of traditions and folklore, with deep influences from the Orient as well as the West. The Danube is the most prominent river in Serbia. As it makes its way through the Carpathian Mountains of Rumania it forms the most imposing gorge in Europe, the Iron Gates. Other striking features of Serbia's landscape include the archaic earth pyramids of Devil's Town, towering up in powerful red colours - and what must be the driest region of Siberia, the Deliblatska Pescara, which is also known as Europe's Sahara. Colourful birds called bee-eaters have settled on a rocky slope - a whole, noisy colony of them. They make their nests in caves which they dig themselves in the ground, and the inaccessible location means it is difficult for enemies to reach them. The more frequently the male brings the female insects it has caught, the more powerful is the bond between them later.

The Mediterranean South

The Mediterranean South

From the dreamlike Mediterranean and spectacular canyon landscapes of Andalusia, to the expanses of the Extremadura with its holm oak forests that stretch toward the horizon. Even in the south of Spain, highly popular with holidaymakers, there is still much waiting to be discovered. Genets hunt for prey under cover of night. These viverrid representatives can be found in their greatest numbers on the Iberian Peninsula. And nowhere else in Europe are there as many vultures as here in Spain. It's an unparalleled spectacle, when griffon vultures quarrel over carrion. The European Chameleon has a by far more ingenious method of feeding: within a fraction of a second, he shoots out his half-a-metre-long tongue once in his sights, the insects don't have a chance. The unmistakeable hoopoe with his typical feather bonnet is also pleased with the rich variety of insects on offer in Spain. Especially in the spring, when the birds have to feed their insatiable juniors. With around 30,000 brooding couples, white storks have one of their most important areas of distribution in Spain. But it's underwater, where the wealth of animals in Southern Spain reaches its zenith. The protected reserves in the Mediterranean reveal an incomparable variety of species: weird sea slugs of almost alien appearance, graceful sea horses, huge swarms of barracudas and elegant blue sharks all have their habitat here. Spain's south has shaped the identity of the regions inhabitants. The film accompanies a farmer in the Extremadura, Spain's Wild West, as well as a fisherman who operates sustainable fishing off the coast of the Cabo de Gata reserve. Common to both is the fact that neither of them would consider exchanging their homeland for a life in the city. Wild Spain – The Mediterranean South reveals the unknown side of a region that many think they know, but in which there is so much more to discover.
