The Balkan Peninsula is notorious for being one of the great battlegrounds of history. And yet, it possesses another side unknown to many, where ancient forests and vast wetlands harbor pristine wilderness, and sheer cliff walls and desolate plateaus preserve a seemingly unchanged past. Buy the DVD. This film premiered January 31, 2010.

The Nature programs are remarkable and educational. When I watch them I find myself wanting to travel and see what there is to see in this beautiful world. Maybe someday I WILL go to the Wild Balkans, you never know. I really loved this episode, especially the segment on the birds who pulsated in the sky as one unit.
One of the most beautifully done films on Nature!
This is a beautiful show, which I am watching again online, but you have done a grave disservice in two ways — first interrupting the online video twice with a “commercial” for a soul food show that airs on Jan 13 2013; and then cutting the very end of the show when it is about to display the amazing display of millions of starlings swarming in the Danube Delta, performing an amazing feat of flight. Someone on the PBS web video team needs to CORRECT this at once. That last sequence is, in fact, one of the most spectacular aspects of the entire Nature episode. Shame !
Just love to watch PBS Nature epidoses. This one was incredible, beautiful, amazing and just awesome! Our earth is such a wonderful place with all it’s beautiful creations.Thank you PBS.
I thought everywhere on earth was populated by humans. What do you know really good episode!
Another fantastic virtual travel film! I loved the teardrop river and the deep, deep caverns. And the amazing
starling formation dances at the end. With all the ugliness we see lately on the news-and sometimes around
us, it is refreshing to see places untouched except by God’s hand on this planet! thank you and keep up the
good episodes!
