Wildest Places explores some of the most incredible natural habitats on earth & a diverse range of wildlife.
"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.

On the remote coastline of Australia's northwest, there are great natural wonders to be found. Above the sea on this sunbaked coast, there is very little only a sparse landscape shaped by the arid conditions. But here, the miracle reveals itself…
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.
