Ireland - The Emerald Isle rediscoveredTV Show

The eastern part of the island is a center of culture, but also of history. This is where old and new Ireland meet: on the one hand the modern capital Dublin, an IT and business metropolis. Next to Newgage and Knowth, impressive Celtic burial mounds from prehistoric times. In County Wicklow, the influence of English colonial rule has left the great art of horticulture in full bloom to this day. While houseboat tours are now common on Ireland's longest river, the Shannon, Viking ships once raided the country on it. The ancient history with its various influences is omnipresent in the Easter of the Irish island. Where ancient and modern Ireland collide, a new zeitgeist is emerging.
