Vienna's Forests - Jewels of Green (2005)

Vienna's Forests - Jewels of Green (2005) is a cinematic homage to the natural jewel that cradles Austria's capital city. Enclosed by a verdant belt, Vienna is a city where urban life harmoniously intertwines with the wild, contributing to its high quality of life. Yet, Vienna's green legacy extends beyond its boundaries, reaching the protected source areas of Hochschwab and Schneeberg-Rax, where the city's water originates. Celebrating the centennial of the green belt's creation, Georg Riha and his team, commissioned by the City of Vienna, weave together a stunning ORF-UNIVERSUM documentary. The film invites viewers on a visually stunning journey through Vienna's natural wonders. From the rugged charm of the Hochschwab region to the towering majesty of Schneeberg, the diversity of Vienna's natural landscapes is breathtakingly showcased. The film also captures the picturesque allure of autumn scenes, the timeless elegance of the "classic" Vienna Woods, and the mesmerizing winter enchantment of the Danube Wetland Forest National Park. Vienna's Forests - Jewels of Green (2005) is more than a documentary; it's an immersive exploration of Vienna's relationship with nature, a testament to the city's environmental stewardship and a celebration of its green heritage.
