Warth

The first section of the Lech is as close as possible to the idea of an alpine paradise: ice-cold waters running through bright green meadows and dark pines, and people wearing dirndl and lederhosen walking through the quiet, sleepy towns. But the silence was deceptive. October, when we visited, felt like a moment of repose between the busy summer season and the even busier winter season. The chairlift operating in Warth was a reminder of that, with its incessant drone and metallic clang.Recorded by Riccardo Fumagalli.-------Flow is a creative exploration telling the story of a river through the power of sound.
