Into the Carpathian Wild (2025)

Overview

Imagine a country where you can roam freely through ancient forests and encounter wild animals. Where you can see the stars as our ancestors saw them. A land of endless inspiration and beauty. An oasis of life. The Carpathians are among the most inaccessible mountain ranges in Europe, and at the same time, no other continent has such endangered wildlife. We will introduce you to life in these mountains, their wildest corners and most beautiful scenery from the Făgăraș Mountains in Romania, the Bieszczady Mountains in Poland, and the Tatra Mountains in Slovakia. Throughout the different seasons, you will follow the stories of charismatic species such as bears, wolves, lynxes, bison, chamois, and capercaillies. We begin our four-part series on the Carpathian wilderness and its amazing ecosystem in spring.
