A film about respectful forest management and exploitation, and an insightful documentation of forestry work, felling trees, and the rafting trade; a unique tradition that technological progress has not been able to replace in this region. Lake Aegeri is the only area in central Europe where log rafting is still carried out professionally.

“Gli zatteri al lago di Ägeri” vi mostra un rispettoso rapporto nei confronti del bosco e dà un’idea approfondita in merito al lavoro forestale, al taglio del legname e alla navigazione su zattere: una tradizione unica che, finora, non si è lasciata reprimere né dalla tecnica né dal progresso. Oggigiorno il lago di Ägeri è l’unico luogo nell’Europa centrale in cui la legna è ancora resa adatta alla fluitazione in maniera professionale.
