S4.E1 ∙ Na ceste po Mosambiku

Sun, Sep 02, 2007

He endured massive waves of power struggles, devastating cyclones, floods and fratricidal civil war. Mozambique is a somewhat neglected African pearl that is now rising from the ashes. That's why Limpopo Park recently joined Krugr National Park in neighboring South Africa to make it easier to move and plant wild animals that were nearly extinct during the war. The hard work of the locals is a guarantee that they will really succeed soon. Proof of this is the pace at which bricks are being dried in the hot African sun for the construction of new hotels or the deployment of local fishermen.

S4.E12 ∙ Na ceste po jizním Izraeli

Sun, Nov 18, 2007

The Dead Sea has long been considered a devil's place. Just because no birds flew over it. It is this reputation that, on the other hand, has made it an ideal place for political refugees. King David, John the Baptist and Jesus Christ found temporary hiding here. The beneficial effects of the Dead Sea and the development of tourism come only with the British and in the 1920s. Today, however, human activity has a devastating effect on this natural phenomenon, with levels falling by one meter each year. However, a program is being launched to save him. You will find plenty of deserts in the south of Israel. We will set out for the Negev desert, which the Nabataeans once traveled with a load of spices. Later, they even settled there and, using an ingenious irrigation system, built vineyards that still function today.

S4.E14 ∙ Na ceste po Tokaji a Egeru

Sun, Dec 02, 2007

There are several "best" in northern Hungary. There are the highest mountains and the smallest Hungarian village, which is an open-air museum registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List, but with permanent residents. The famous Tokaj wine matures in the local wine cellars and there is also an extensive stalactite labyrinth underground, unique in that it is located on the territory of two states. You will enter in Hungary and exit in Slovakia. However, this is far from the only local geological interest. When visiting Hungary, of course, you can't miss a visit to the spa, or a real gypsy cardas.

S4.E15 ∙ Na ceste po jizním Altiplanu

Sun, Dec 09, 2007

With Jiri Bartoska and Miroslav Donutil for the tough robot of miners on the Bolivian plateau, the Indian carnival and the salt hotel. The Altiplano plateau is located in the southwestern part of Bolivia and is inhabited by predominantly Indian people - the Quechua and Aymara. Against the backdrop of the stunning natural beauty of the inhospitable region, they lead a rough life that combines the Spanish influence of the Catholic faith with traditional pagan customs. This is beautifully illustrated by the Carnival of La Diablada, which is a unique show of Native American costumes in the name of the veneration of the Virgin of Socavonia. The area is sparsely populated, but Potosí was once one of the most populous cities in the world. Silver was mined under the Cerro Rico mountain. There has been no such demand for it for a long time, but the method of mining has changed little since the Middle Ages and children are still going underground. However, this does not prevent them from engaging in popular water battles. At the largest salt lake in the world, there is an architectural uniqueness - a hotel built of salt bricks and equipped with salt furniture.
