Wild Balkans

Thick forests, vast wetlands, deep chasms – this is a wild, inaccessible place which belongs as much to myth as to reality.  In the Balkans, Tolkien might have placed his Middle Earth.  But there are neither orcs nor elves here.  Rather, there are bears and wolves, otters and lynx, millions of birds, and the most endangered carnivore in Europe.  Notorious for the wars that devastated so much of its land, the Balkans is virtually unknown for the unspoiled wilderness that thrives here.  It’s as if the smoke and fire of centuries of war have conspired to conceal and protect the natural wonders that have all but vanished from the rest of the Europe.  Narrated by ALAN COATES.
