The Rhine: A river everyone visits, but few truly know
In short: While the Rhine is world-famous for its medieval castles and industrial history, this documentary looks past the human landmarks to explore the river's hidden biological diversity.
With a length of roughly 1,230km, the Rhine ranks as Central and Western Europe's next longest waterway, traversing six nations. While it has served as a vital transportation route for thousands of years, its banks remain a complex tapestry of alluvial forests, waterfalls, and canyons.
The film focuses on the river's fauna and flora, highlighting species like beavers, seals, wild boar, and the white-throated dipper. By traveling from the Dutch delta back to its source in the Swiss Alps, the documentary reveals a landscape where nature persists alongside human civilization.
