action

The focus of each season is the journey of six boys and girls from Germany to a remote area of ​​Europe and their way back to civilization. For a period of four weeks they hike together on different terrain, whereby they have to determine the route between the starting point and their next stage destination themselves using a compass . Most of the remaining decisions are also made by the participants themselves.

The young people usually spend their nights in tents, but also in caves or in the open air. They are supplied with different foods every day, which they have to prepare independently with the resources available.

On their journey, the young people are accompanied by coach Tobias Ohmann, who gives them tips and tricks for survival in the wilderness and also acts as a contact person in emergencies.

On their way through the wilderness, the young people have to face the challenges set by their coach on a daily basis. Some of these are physically demanding disciplines such as climbing , abseiling , diving , balancing and rafting . By overcoming the personal fears of individual participants, some challenges have the character of a test of courage . For each successfully mastered challenge, the young people receive a note which - combined with all the other notes - leads to a surprise at the end of their journey.
