In Macedonia the traveller can discover lakes from prehistoric times, in which dinosaurs have bathed and on whose shores the traces of many thousands of years of human history can be found.

More than 5,000 archaeological sites can be visited in this small country north of Greece. It is a country where you can still hear the silence. Life in the Macedonian villages is simple and without hustle and bustle. But traditions and original way of life are not signs of backwardness. In Macedonia they show the way into the future, examples of ecological agriculture, building with historical materials and the touristic potential of the unique natural treasures prove this.

Macedonia is also a land of contrasts. We will visit an orthodox monk who lives alone in an old monastery. Next to it, a modern vineyard is visited, which produces and sells historical wines with much commitment. Traditional grape varieties, which were already consumed here in the times of the ancient Greeks and Romans, are to be made popular again. The past and the future in Macedonia are close together.

The deepest canyon in Europe, the continent's last primeval forests, important cultural sites and a unique diversity of species - it is an area with spectacular natural phenomena full of undiscovered beauty. The five-part documentary series "The Balkan Express" is a visually stunning discovery trip through mysterious landscapes and untouched wilderness in the middle of Europe. The stations are Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia.
