Lappland - Europas wilder Norden

In the organizer's words:

Lapland, north of the Arctic Circle, is considered Europe's last wilderness. Bernd Römmelt has been traveling through this region, which stretches across the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and a north-western tip of Russia, for over 20 years. On foot as well as by kayak, car and helicopter, he takes us to see moose, bears, wolverines and Arctic foxes, which share the taiga, tundra and mountains with thousands of reindeer. On the coasts, puffins breed and sea eagles circle. He visits the Sami, the indigenous people of Lapland, who have lived here for thousands of years. In the past, they followed the reindeer on their long migrations, and even today the animals play an important role in their lives. This travelogue shows a wild country through the seasons, places of peace, tranquillity and vastness, spectacular coastal landscapes, mysterious forests and fantastic northern lights. A very special region in every respect!
