Alpine lakes - silent beauty. At the source of the water
Specials • E3 Nov 27, 2003 45m
Next to the mountains, water is Austria's greatest wealth. Springs, streams, ponds, lakes and rivers have characterised and shaped Austria's landscape over thousands of years. The documentary traces the paths of water in the Austrian Alps - from the glacier to the valley and through the mountains to the source - and describes the beauty of the unspoilt smaller lakes with their diverse flora and fauna. Each Alpine lake has its own story. It is about enchanted rocks, spectacular underwater worlds, dragons, ancient fish species, but also about cave explorers and modern science.
