Herbert Tichy - Weltenwanderer, Bergsteiger, Sinnsucher

From Vienna to Kailash, from the summit of Cho Oyu to the depths of the soul: Based on Herbert Tichy's groundbreaking first ascent of Cho Oyu in 1954, the Bergwelten documentary paints a portrait of a seeker of meaning and a border crosser between Western belief in progress and Eastern wisdom, contrasting Tichy's impressions with the present day – and asking what remains of the wonder of yesteryear.
