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.

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.

This video is about the life of alpine farmers along the Königssee and how they handle their cows. The journey also continues to the mysterious Untersberg, which is known for its legends and caves.

We accompany cave explorers in the Untersberg. Deep underground, they explore unknown terrain, work under extreme conditions, and are completely cut off from the outside world. Teamwork and trust are vital for survival.

Successful ice climber Ines Papert talks about how she discovered her passion for the mountains, the challenges the sport entails, and the life lessons she has drawn from it.

We travel from Untersberg to Berchtesgaden. In doing so, we learn something about the history of the region, salt mining, and the training required to become a miner.

In the second part of the interview with the German band The BossHoss, Thomas Raudnitzky from RheinMain TV asks the band members about their upcoming performance at the Old Opera and raffles off concert tickets.

On some sections of the Hessian autobahn speed limits have been lifted or raised. The Green Party is not very enthusiastic about that and feels that the climate protection is being neglected.

The original dream of flying fascinates Wolfgang Labudde, owner of Vierwerk GmbH, a company that manufactures light aircraft. He draws his inspiration from the flying machines of Otto Lilienthal, the pioneer and first successful aviator in human history.

"The Story of the Flying Robert" is another one from Heinrich Hoffmann's famous children's book Der Struwwelpeter, published in 1845.

Pope Benedict is visiting his old home country. His first stop will be Berlin. As with every official visit, he will find rest and peace at the apostolic nunciature of Germany. The Apostolic Nuncio of Germany, Jean-Claude Périsset, shows "dpa video" around.
