Seasons & Episode
The Poles lovingly call their slow train Rybak, in German: the fisherman. He takes us on a journey of discovery across the north of Poland - from Stettin in the west always eastwards, in 12 hours to Bialystok. The train crosses Western Pomerania, the dreamy Kashubian country, and touches the wide, wild Baltic Sea coast with its famous tricity by the sea: the seaside resorts of Gdynia - Sopot - Danzig. Then we continue through the magical Masuria with its over 3000 deep blue lakes. We immerse ourselves in the majestic forests of West Prussia.
New, fantastically beautiful views await behind every bend: heather-covered hills that glow purple, picturesque lakes and deep green forests. These are the Scottish Highlands. But what would these still largely untouched spots be without the people who live here? For their 90-minute, visually stunning travel documentary, authors Babette Hnup and Maik Gizinski and their camera team set out on the train route of the legendary “Highland Main Line,” which runs through the middle of the Cairngorms National Park.
