Unberührtes Lappland (Muddus Nationalpark) | Europas Urwälder, Folge 5

High in the north, at the Arctic Circle, in the Swedish part of Lapland, lies Muddus National Park (photo above), home to reindeer, elk, brown bears, numerous rare birds, and Sweden's oldest pine tree. Humans have never set foot in most of Muddus. A special natural spectacle: In autumn, trees and mosses glow golden yellow and deep red – "Indian Summer" at the Arctic Circle.

Just 2,000 years ago, almost the entire continent—from the Arctic Circle in northern Sweden to Sicily—was covered in dense forests. Over the past centuries, most of it had to make way for settlements, roads, and cities, or was cleared due to the high demand for timber. Most of the forests that exist today in Europe are man-made forests that bear little resemblance to the continent's original forests. But they still exist: Europe's last green paradises—primordial forests that have never been altered by humans. In this five-part series, ARTE embarks on a journey of discovery, immersing viewers in the secrets of Europe's primeval forests with their unique flora and fauna, their myths, and their enchanting beauty.
