About this season
The traditional "Erlebnisreisen" series on WDR television will be continued at irregular intervals, featuring reports on local and distant destinations. The basic idea is that a reporter - representing the viewers - explores a region, visits sights, and meets people. The experiences and adventures gathered along the way are reflected in the travel reports.
