This new episode of "Land der Berge" explores life in Lech during the summer months, far removed from its well-known winter tourism. The focus is not on the visitors, but on the local residents and their deeply rooted traditions. The film follows several individuals who preserve and pass on traditional crafts such as woodworking, fence building, hunting, and wildlife management. The importance of herbal medicine and knowledge of nature also plays a central role. Here, the mountains serve as a source of strength, providing both energy and challenges.
A film by Stephan Pichl.
