The Stechlin In the Realm of Clear Lakes

Images one cannot get enough of - blue lakes, surrounded by forest, charming bays, wild solitude: In the north of Brandenburg there are lakes, whose clarity reminds one of crystal. Especially lake Stechlin. Sunbeams play on the backs of silver perch, many feet below the surface. In the thicket of the riparian vegetation, pikes lurk, waiting patiently for the right moment to attack, at breath-taking speed. As soon as the water warms up in spring, several pike males try to woo one female. They get as close as they can in order to signalise to the female, that she should deliver some spawn. Scenes never before captured on film. Cutting edge HD-technology with extreme slow motion and time-lapse features, as well as the deployment of macro optics, lightweight cranes and new underwater camera technology, provide rare and magical insights into the world of the clearest lakes in Brandenburg. Water lilies, growing toward the sun, hatching mosquito larvae - all provide fascinating and magical moments. Extreme slow motion footage reveals how the water hose, a carnivorous plant, hunts down water fleas, or the dazzling kingfisher darts majestically into the waves.
