Comeback for salmon and lynx
In 2004 the 45-minute nature documentary "Comeback for salmon and lynx" was completed on behalf of the Saxon State Foundation for Nature and Environment. The film shows landscape images and aims to describe the complex and centuries-old coexistence between man and nature in the Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland national park region , one of the most important natural areas in Germany.
The film premiered on July 6, 2004 at the film nights on the banks of the Elbe in Dresden . A version was then shown in the “Nature Reporter” series on 3SAT and was also nominated for the “Environmental Communication Award” in this context. The DVD , which contains 6 languages, is available from the National Park Center.
National Park Center
The Saxon Switzerland National Park Center (NLPZ) in Bad Schandau was opened in October 2001. A modern visitor center was created with the help of funding from the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU) and the Free State of Saxony .
