Expedition in den Bayerischen urwald

Expedition into the Bavarian forest

Georg Bayerle / Germany / 2006 / 13 min / Colour


A few kilometers from the Tegernsee mountains, heavily visited by mass tourism, lies one of the last of the wild Bavarian forests. Following in the steps of ancient Bavarian lumberjacks, the film shows how man left no visible trace of his presence here, except for the ancient and now abandoned wood dykes found along the streams. Enormous trees, hundreds of years old, are the true protagonists of this wild and fascinating place, where the forest renews itself. The mere fact that an area this untouched can be found so close to civilization is proof that it is possible to explore and discover wonderful places without traveling to exotic, faraway lands.
