Summer, sunshine and the sound of the sea – for most people, beaches are the epitome of the perfect holiday paradise. But they’re much more than that: they are natural habitats, and no two of them are exactly alike. The ‘Beaches of Europe’ series visits six different beaches and shows how they were formed by geological, meteorological and biological forces, and how they shape nature, above and below the water. And it introduces the people who dedicate themselves to their beach habitat in very different ways.
We are delighted to have the authors Herbert Ostwald, Rosie Koch & Roland Gockel, Annette Scheurich, Mi-Yong Brehm and Boas Schwarz take you on a journey to the ‘Beaches of Europe’ one after the other. The films are narrated by Hans Henrik Wöhler.
From Monday, 26 August 2024 at 18:35, the 6-part series will start with the first film:
