Silesia – Exploring the Heart of Europe

We climb the weather station on the Schneekoppe in the Giant Mountains, experience the Silesian Fujiyama in the "land of extinct volcanoes" and marvel at the beauty of the city of Wroclaw, formerly known as Breslau. We meet people who are passionate about rare plants and Poland's ancient horses. And we see how a miller's family produces the finest organic flour with ancient machines.

We drift along the Oder river, experience the cheerful hustle and bustle in a romantic mountain hut in the Owl Mountains, and climb down into the stalactite caves of the Krakow-Częstochowa Jura with researchers. We look over the shoulders of passionate winegrowers, experience the Silesian craft of basket weaving, and accompany wildlife rescuers as they release falcons, deer, ducks, and hedgehogs into the wild.
