Rivers and Lakes

Rivers and Lakes

Water is the beginning of all life - including the wildlife of Germany. Beavers fell trees, otters play under water, kingfishers catch fish for their young. Lakes and rivers cover just 2.5% of the total area of the country. The episode Rivers and Lakes takes the viewer on a journey through the water world of Germany. In winter, the few ice-free surfaces are popular with waterfowl. Coots throng the source ponds of the River Havel, while above them white-tailed eagles gather for the hunt, as their prey swim openly beneath them. The coots stick together, swimming to and fro to make it difficult for the eagles to pick out one individual bird. But with each attack, the coots grow increasingly tired. In Spring, the ice melts and the lakes and rivers awake from their winter torpor. Germany has more than 800 rivers longer than 10km. They transport the life-giving liquid into all corners of the country. The water of the River Danube alone would be enough to fill Germany's biggest body of water, Lake Constance, in 12 months. Every year, six times the volume of the lake falls in the form of precipitation: 800 litres per square metre. Otters and beavers had a very hard time in recent centuries. They were hunted mercilessly for their fur and eaten in periods of fasting. Today, both species are protected and their populations are recovering.

The Atlantic North

The Atlantic North

From the reedy areas in the Basque Country, via the fantastic world of the Cantabrian mountain range, to Galicia with its spectacular coasts: This is the North Spanish wilderness, which offers unheard of diversity and reveals a hitherto completely unknown side of Spain. In the wetlands during the rutting season, red deer carry out their bitter power struggles until the water around them appears to blister and boil. The Cantabrian mountain range is habitat for around 140 Cantabrian brown bears – Western Europe's greatest bear population. The females wander from place to place in search of food. Adult male bears and steep mountain slopes are a permanent danger for the youngsters. Iridescent blue throats, defending their territorial borders against rivals, appear to observe them. Above the timberline is the Kingdom of the Cantabrian chamois. They share their habitat with the colourful wallcreeper - an extremely rare bird of the tall mountain region. The Asturian fire salamander is the only one of its kind with a complete yellow hue - he hunts his prey on the banks of the countless streams that flow into the Atlantic, which is inhabited by giants from sperm whales to basking sharks, the world's second largest fish. The rugged north has shaped the identity of its inhabitants. The film accompanies a mountain farmer in the Picos de Europa National Park, who still operates traditional livestock farming and a goose barnacle collector on the Costa da Morte, who quite possibly has the world's most dangerous job. Common to both is the fact that neither of them would exchange their homeland for life in the city.
