Watch Wild Germany Season 1 Episode 4 Online

One of the most beautiful natural landscapes in the country lies on the Baltic Sea in north-eastern Germany. The chalk cliffs on the island of Rügen rise almost 120 meters into the sky and offer breeding opportunities for the rare peregrine falcon. In the beech forests of Jasmund on the edge of the white cliffs, badgers and fallow deer raise their young. The lagoons, known as Bodden, are among the most species-rich regions in Western Pomerania. They are only connected to the Baltic Sea by narrow straits and provide nesting and resting places for a large number of birds. In autumn, up to 60,000 cranes rest in the region where white-tailed eagles also hunt. In the Darsser Jungle, deer come to the dune belt of the beaches. There the bulls fight bitterly during the rut; a sight that can only be seen on the coast of Western Pomerania. In the shadow of the Dornbusch lighthouse on the island of Hidden sea lies one of the few colonies of little terns in the Baltic Sea.
