Discover the rare and hidden wildlife flourishing in Germany's Leine Valley
In short: Explore a mosaic of forests, meadows, and ponds south of Hannover. This documentary captures rare, seldom-filmed natural moments, from courtship displays to nocturnal migrations, within a landscape of increasing biological importance.
The film traverses the Leine Valley, a region characterized by its varied habitats and the historic Marienburg castle. It highlights species that are becoming increasingly rare throughout northern Germany, such as common kestrels that hunt voles near farmhouses and kingfishers patrolling the river's tributaries.
The footage provides a rare look at the nocturnal movements of fire salamanders as they seek spawning grounds. It also demonstrates the resilience of nature in urban settings, noting that six beaver families have established themselves within the city of Hannover alone.
