Charlie Ottley

A travel documentary exploring the scenic beauty and rich culture of the Romanian Carpathian mountains.

A stunning tv travel series aimed at protecting and promoting Romania's natural and cultural legacy. Join us for a road trip through Romania's great historic regions celebrating the country's diverse cultures, landscapes, gastronomy, people and music and showing how eco-tourism and conservation could provide the best road map for the future.

The Carpathians span over 190,000 sq. km. of wilderness across 7 countries, including Poland, Slovakia, Romania, and Ukraine. The vast untamed region is home to most of Europe's surviving large carnivores and its last great forest. More than half of this ancient mountain range lies within modern-day Romania. British journalist Charlie Ottley takes viewers through the land where, for millennia, the man had lived in harmony with nature, but today that delicate balance is under threat from neglect and ruthless exploitation.
