Am Stein

Despite the excesses of nature commercialisation, only a few high-altitude areas in the Alps are able to retain some of their magic. One of these inaccessible plateaus is the eastern Dachsteinstock. AM STEIN explores the lost myths of this area and looks at the real world of the Grafenbergalm and its people.

‘We immerse ourselves in the realm of the extraordinary writer and author Bodo Hell, who has looked after, explored, researched and described this high plateau for over 45 years as a shepherd of the Ramsau farmers,’ writes director Othmar Schmiderer about his friend Bodo Hell, who has been missing in the area since this summer.
