Episode synopsis
From the barren island of Arranmore to steep piers off the Atlantic coast, to extensive sandy beaches to moor and rocky landscapes: many areas are still a real insider tip. Often left out of tourism due to the cool weather. While the north-west of the island is part of the Republic of Ireland, the north-east is part of Great Britain. In the rocky north-west of Ireland in particular, life mostly takes place on the coast. A life with tradition and craftsmanship that offers space for challenges and adventures. Despite the often difficult living conditions, people often find surprising ways to defy the challenges.
About Ireland - The Emerald Isle rediscovered
The journey through Ireland begins in the Rugged North, in the middle of the rough and untamed nature. From there, we travel to the West of Ireland, where the original, traditional life is preserved. From the traditional west, our route takes us to the popular south, with a milder climate and lush vegetation. Our journey ends in the lively East, where the contrast between today and the past is not only palpable, but also visible. On our journey we meet people who would never leave their homeland despite the harsh living conditions, we wander through spectacular landscapes, get an insight into the traditional ways of life and experience the four sides of Ireland in a completely new way.
