On the 26th April, the Tuesday after Easter, Bavarian Television broadcasts “Frühling im Bayerischen Wald"; a 45minute film from Dr. Michael.

Go to the Riesloch waterfalls near Bodenmais, probably one of the most magical places in the entire Bavarian Forest, led by hiking guide Uschi Rankl at the beginning of the film. There’s hardly a more fitting introduction to spring in the Bavarian Forest, than the mighty roar of water from the flume of the waterfalls.

The film covers further topics such as:

The “Hiensölde“. “Sölde” means house and “Hien” are the former inhabitants. It’s one of the oldest block constructed houses worldwide. At present the house in Mitterfels is being painstakingly renovated.

Virtual “spring beer“, appropriate to the stout beer season, is currently being brewed in the oldest Bavarian family brewery. Described is the “Rhaner Beer” brewery that exists since the year 1283 in Rhan, a village in the borough of Schönthal.

“Diweilen St. Isidor bet, der Engel seine Arbeit tät“(while praying to St. Isidor, the angel did his work) is an inscription that is partially ironical, and partially with an earnest significance. It’s a reverse glass painting on a stone pillar that can be found on the edge of a field near a place called Wegscheid.

“S´Bleamerl“ is a song that the over 16 year existing “Old Bavarian brass music group” called ”G´steckenriebler” will play for us. The ”G´steckenriebler” are at home in Wiesenfelden in the foreholds of the Bavarian Forest.

The film also includes: A bird song walk, a walking path for visually handicapped and blind people, an onomatologist,who knows a lot about the word “Lenz” and many lovely examples of nature.
