We watch Martin Göksu cave diving and learn about the safety rules. Then the journey continues through the Austrian limestone Alps to the Erzberg, where iron has been mined for many centuries.

From Herberstein Castle, we continue into the mountains of the Fischbach Alps and Semmering with its historic railway line. Finally, we meet Markus Göksu, who dives into mysterious mountain caves.

At Herberstein Castle, Andrea Sagmeister creates fragrant culinary works of art from rose varieties that have blossomed for centuries. We learn how carefully she selects the flowers, processes them, and transforms them into delicious syrups and jellies.

Piber Castle in the Styrian Alps is home to one of the world's noblest horse breeds: the Lipizzaners. Each animal is carefully prepared for the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Our journey now continues through western Styria to Herberstein Castle.

How good are Wiesbaden’s playgrounds, really? Chiara, Johannes, and their friends put them to the ultimate test: They climb, swing, and slide, using their expertise as children to rate where the most fun can be had and what could still be improved.

Above the rooftops of Graz, master roofer Barbara Rockenbauer takes care of centuries-old roofs, preserves historic tiles and thus ensures that the old town is preserved.

In this episode, we're going up high—right into the heart of Styria! We discover the city of Graz from a bird's eye view, meet a brave master roofer and learn why working on the old city roofs is almost as adventurous as mountain climbing.
