Dear RMK Team, I am getting in touch regarding a filming for the German public service travel program "Wunderschön" (transl. Beautiful). Our film crew, including our host Ramon Babazadeh, will visit Estonia from the 27. May to the 04.June to show the beauty of the country and to do several activities. This also includes camping and several other activities in the nature. If possible, we would like to film at the following locations: Altja Beach 28.05: ~09:00 -12:00 Activity: Walking around the beach and using a SUP Start SUP: 59°34'53.3"N 25°58'02.3"E End SUP: 59°35'09.0"N 26°07'07.5"E Laheema National park 28.05-29.05: ~12:00 – 16:00 Activity : Filming the nature RMK Purekkari telkimisala 28.05-29.05: ~14:00 – overnight Activity : Filming the camping Set-Up Kakerdaja raba matkarada 29.05: ~15:00 – 19:00h Activity: Moor hike with guide (Martin Schröder) RMK Kalajärve lõkkekoht 29.05 -30.05: ~16:00 – overnight Activity : Filming the camping Set-Up Saarnaki laid 01.06-02.06: ~11:00 – overnight Activity: guided Seal watching and staying over at the island Hiiuma - Lavadel fields & Kõpu Lighthouse 02.06: ~ 09:00 – 15:00 Activity: Beauty Shots of the nature Matsalu Bay (around 58.768652, 23.753468) 02.06: ~13:00 – 19:00 Activity: Beauty Shots of the nature Paldiski Coast (from 59°23'15.0"N 24°02'11.1"E -Paldiski Picturesque Seaside) 03.06: ~09:00 – 15:00 Activity: Beauty Shots of the nature Keila waterfall 03.06: ~09:00 – 15:00 Activity: Beauty Shots of the nature Forrest near Natourest - Bear and Wildlife Watching in Estonia Palasi, 46630 Lääne-Viru County, Estland 03.06: ~13:00 – overnight Activity: Beauty Shots of the nature and watching bears from a hide with a guide Our team consist of 6 people from the 27.05 to the 01.06: Our host Ramon, our author Joshua, our cameramen Paul and Daniel, our sound engineer David and our set-manager Antonia, whom I also put in cc. After that it will only be four people. We would use hand-cameras and have no superstructures. The timing is not yet fixed, as it always depends on conditions like the weather. Are there certain things we should pay attention to while filming? At the same time, we are also asking the various contacts about permission to fly drones. Is there anything else we should be aware of from your side? We would be very grateful if we could get a filming permit or be referred to the responsible contact. Here are some facts about the documentary series: ‘Wunderschön!’ is a travel format produced by the WDR and SWR, two of the biggest broadcasters in Germany.

The production company responsible is Bavaria Entertainment (https://www.bavaria-entertainment.de/) based in Cologne. The show has a duration of 90 minutes and airs on Sundays at 8:15 PM on WDR, followed by other regional channels and the cultural channel 3sat. Each episode presents a different travel destination. 'Breathtaking nature, spectacular sights, culinary delights, and interesting people: Our hosts are on the trail of the perfect vacation and explore the most beautiful regions of Germany and Europe.'" If you want to take a look at the series, you’ll find a youtube-links to former episodes (well, it’s completely in German, but you can get a visual impression) here: https://www.youtube.com/@ARDReisen/search?query=wunderschön If more information is needed, please tell me!
