Berlin –

It is a small country, the people there speak four languages, and it is a stable federal republic with 26 cantons in the heart of Europe.

The documentary "Wunderwelt Schweiz" deals with four languages. Consequences around four different landscapes: Jura, Graubünden, Ticino and the fluvial and lacustrine world of Switzerland. Monday, July 2 and a week later, 3sat will present a double sequence at 8:15 pm

The canton of Jura is located in the French-speaking part of French-speaking Switzerland, from north-east to Lake Geneva. The Jura is sparsely populated and offers visitors a lot of peace and opportunities to explore the nature of the region. The meadowfoam and damask plum, which is made of schnapps, and many species of birds are native to the region, as well as the lynx and ermine, which has been used as a pet. On the high plateau of the district of Franches-Montagnes live the Freiberger, a primal breed of Swiss horses bred in Switzerland for more than 200 years.

The canton of Graubünden, on the border with Austria and Liechtenstein, with the capital Chur, lies completely in the region of the Alps. Nearly 200 000 inhabitants speak three languages: German, Romansh and Italian. In Ticino, in southern Switzerland – the episode takes place on July 9 – live about 350,000 inhabitants. The most famous cities include Bellinzona, Locarno and Lugano. It rains more than anywhere else, but the sun shines at least as often, and to the south, camellias and magnolias bloom, and marmots and emerald lizards live there. While Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano are fun for tourists, there are mountain villages with many abandoned houses elsewhere.

The fourth part (July 9) concerns really high mountains like Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. the underground falls of Trümmelbach and the beautiful Lauterbrunnen valley with its 72 waterfalls. Several film crews were on the ground, under the ice and in the air, and also used a Cineflex system, which allowed the surprisingly silent shots of the helicopter to be rotated. They found exactly those places where the Swiss painter Caspar Wolf represented the magnificent glaciers in massive oil paintings in the 18th century. The comparison of the old splendor with the current situation tells without the words of climate change

The Swiss actor ("men heart") and moderator ("title thesen temperamente") Max Moor (60) speaks the text of the four programs, which by the two authors Mi-Yong Brehm and Ulf Marquardt were filmed. People who live here are less interested in nature than they are – and they show really amazing images.

Switzerland is certainly a small country, with about 8.5 million people living on more than 41,000 square kilometers. But it offers a variety of natural landscapes with high mountains, deep peat bogs, wild waterfalls and tranquil lakes – and this shows the very impressive documentary. (dpa)
