This final episode takes the viewer on a journey through the water world of Germany. In winter, the few ice-free surfaces are popular with waterfowl. Coots throng the source ponds of the River Havel, while above them white-tailed eagles gather for the hunt, as their prey swim openly beneath them. In Spring, the ice melts and the lakes and rivers awake from their winter torpor . Otters and beavers were once hunted mercilessly for their fur and eaten in periods of fasting. Today, both species are protected and their populations are recovering.
