WWF and SF reach agreement on "Pile Dwellers" filming location

The WWF does not want to stand in the way of the production of the SF summer series "Die Pfahlbauer", as long as the filming is as environmentally friendly as possible. According to SDA, Swiss Television SF and WWF Bodensee/Thurgau have agreed on this. They have reached an agreement to protect the filming location, the nature reserve near Pfyn TG. The WWF had originally had strong reservations about the realization of the series, as the Hinterrietweiher nature reserve is a gem of extraordinary beauty. The agreements that have now been reached will be monitored on site by an independent expert. The basis is a ban on access to over 80 percent of the shoreline and the nature conservation zones. The area must be fully restored after the broadcast.
Onlookers should not have access to the sensitive nature reserve. SF will regularly point out during the series that it is not possible to see the pile dwellers with one's own eyes. These arrangements between SF and WWF supplement the expected requirements of the Canton of Thurgau and the municipality of Pfyn. SF will finance minor upgrading measures in the Hinterrietweiher to compensate for the intensive use of the area during the television program.
