Wild Germany

Stabilised helicopter footage shows a bird's eye view of Germany's coasts, the North and Baltic, coastlines and islands in astonishing, brilliant pictures. State-of-the-art HD cameras capable of slow-motion at 2000 frames a second, time lapse, miniature cameras, macro lenses and lightweight cranes lend the episode an especially high-gloss look.

This episode shows unique insights into Germany's mountain world, travelling from Saxonian Switzerland to the Palatinate Forest, from the Harz to the Alps. The spectacular results are to be seen in the episode Mountains from the series Wild Germany.

The episode Forests of the four-part documentary series shows Germany's "green lungs" from spectacular angles. Serene tracking shots filmed from hot-air balloons show the magnificence of the landscapes, while cameras in miniature helicopters take the viewer into the thick of the action.

Germany's best nature filmmakers spent five years collecting material for this unique view of Germany's water worlds. With the help of state-of-the-art HD technology and extreme slow-motion footage of dragonflies and kingfishers, white-throated dippers and otters, they have put together a moving portrait of the watery landscapes and their inhabitants.
