This three-part series is an epic journey of discovery of the natural world along the Amur and its tributaries and of the rich wildlife and the native people inhabiting the Earth’s greatest remaining wilderness area – a surprising and exotic world shaped and perpetually reshaped by extreme forces of the atmosphere and one of the Earth’s most active tectonic zones.
The three episodes portray the unique characters of the Amur’s lower, middle and upper reaches – separate worlds that could not be more different and diverse.
The Poles endearingly call their slow train Rybak, which means “der Fischer” (the fisherman) in German. This train takes its passengers right across the north of Poland. Twelve hours from Stettin in the west to Bialystok in the east. The train passes through East Pomerania and dreamy Kashubia, and then skirts the Baltic Sea coast and magical Masuria.
Also in the Scottish Highlands, tourists are offered fantastically beautiful views on a train journey along the legendary Highland Main Line: hills covered with heather shimmering in violet, picturesque lakes and green forests.
In this documentaries, we get to know the landscapes of Poland and Scotland.
