Bjørn Dunkerbeck is the greatest legend windsurfing has ever produced—surpassing even his long-time rival and now friend, Robby Naish. RTL reporter Laura Pröscholdt went to visit him and his family on Gran Canaria and learned: Windsurfing keeps you young!

In this part we learn more about Björn's family and what influence they had on his career as a professional windsurfer.

This part is about how windsurfing has changed throughout the years. Björn Dunkerbeck talks about new sports, his own goals, and why today it's mainly his sons who compete in the harsh conditions.

This next part of the series "The Alps from Above" first takes us to Salzburg, the city of Mozart, which besides Baroque residences and gardens also boasts one of the largest European fortress complexes.

High above Salzburg's old town, mountain cleaners ensure that loose rocks don't become a danger to the people in the city. It's a profession with great responsibility that requires trust in oneself, teamwork, and plenty of courage.

Alina has completed a degree in early childhood education and talks about her new job at a children's daycare center.

The next stage on the journey from Salzburg to Königssee is Anif Palace, which served as a refuge for King Ludwig III during the November Revolution. We also meet a biologist who prepares an endangered bird species, the northern bald ibis, for life in the wild in an extraordinary way.

This video is about the long journey of the northern bald ibises to their wintering grounds in Italy and about traditional craftsmanship in the Alps. Besides nature and the mountains, the production of loden, a traditional and very durable woolen fabric, also plays an important role.

Jörg Steiner tells us about the craft of loden production, a tradition that has been passed down through generations. In Sankt Veit im Pongau, we visit a very special marmot sancutuary.

In this part, we learn more about the marmots that the Radels have taken care of for many years. After that, the journey leads to Hohe Tauern National Park and to Austria's highest mountain, the Grossglockner.

In this video, Ivana tells us about her degree program in Geodesy and Geoinformatics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. She talks about hands-on surveying exercises, working with specialized measurement equipment, and student life during the main field surveying course in the Black Forest.

This episode takes us to the Grossglockner High Alpine Road as we explore the history of the old Alpine passes. In the past, packhorsemen transported goods across the mountains. Today, Toni Sauper continues this tradition and offers trail riding as a unique experience for tourists.

Toni Sauper carefully prepares his horseback riding tours in the Alps and repeatedly explores new paths in the high mountains for this purpose. The journey continues through the impressive landscape of the High Tauern with its mountain lakes, glaciers, and important water reservoirs.

The Viennese theater group "Ortszeit" stages its productions in an old quarry in the Leogang Mountains. The actors perform in the midst of nature, drawing inspiration from their surroundings and the region's folklore.

This section leads into the impressive mountain landscape around the Steinerne Meer and Lake Königssee. Besides extreme weather conditions and famous sights, it also looks at the life of the farmers who bring their cows to the alpine pastures every summer.
