#ndr #ndrdoku #hiking From sea to sea as the crow flies: The two reporters Vanessa Kossen and Thilo Tautz are looking for the shortest route across Schleswig-Holstein, from St. Peter-Ording and Maasholm. The route is 100 kilometers long: Thilo Tautz is on the east coast, Vanessa Kossen on the west coast. They walk consistently as the crow flies, without money or a tent, always straight ahead. How is that supposed to work? There are lakes, motorways, ditches and huge fields on the way. Should they put on their swimming trunks or ask the boater for help? After all, after three days the two of them want to meet exactly in the middle of the straight line: on the Treene Bridge in Treia. Vanessa has to learn the hard way that flat land does not mean that it is good for hiking. Again and again she has to ask the locals for help, but in most cases this works promptly. And even in high season, when everything on the coast is actually fully booked, she finds a place for herself and her cameraman to sleep: in a stranger's mobile home. Thilo and his colleague get a mattress in a sauna room, also after a long march and various means of transport: on a sailing boat across the Schlei, on a tractor across the field and in a 100-year-old Ford along the country road. The air distance forces Vanessa Kossen and Thilo Tautz to leave the beaten track and give chance a chance. The result is street acquaintances that no script could think up.
