Wildes Elsass is a nature documentary that explores the diverse ecosystems of France's Alsace region, nestled between the Rhine and the Vosges mountains. A white stork guides viewers through natural habitats where Mediterranean warmth meets alpine cold, revealing the lives of creatures adapted to each landscape. Follow dwarf mice in riverside meadows, green lizards in sun-baked vineyards, chamois on rocky mountain peaks, and a stork family in the Schlettstadter Ried wetlands.
