Kessler gets lost: New Danube expedition full of surprises!
There is exciting news from the heart of Vienna! Today, June 4, 2025, the popular television presenter and adventurer Michael Kessler started his eighth expedition for Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (rbb). After adventurous trips in the past - from a canoe tour to a husky tour to a raft trip - this time his journey takes him along the course of the Danube to the source in Donaueschingen.
After a small incident in geography in which Kessler got lost and ended up in Vienna, he is now starting the 14-day expedition that will take him through the Bavarian Danube valleys and the Black Forest. On this varied journey, Kessler uses different means of transport, from bicycles and scooters to ships and senior mobility vehicles - a real challenge that appeals to his spirit of discovery, as [rbb](https://www.rbb-online.de/ Fernsehenen/programm/18_06_2025/2019785.html) reports.
Adventurous encounters and impressive landscapes
In addition to getting around these picturesque regions, Kessler also talks to the people on the Danube. He would like to find out their views on the advantages and disadvantages of the river. This makes it clear that the beauty of nature is often accompanied by its dark sides. Kessler is accompanied by cameraman Sören, and together they will uncover new and unexpected stories.
Another exciting expedition by Kessler took him across the Alps in winter. Here he reported temperatures below zero and fought his way through a snowstorm without oxygen equipment. The 200 kilometer long route took him from Samnaun via Ischgl and Galtür to Langen am Arlberg. Adapted means of transport such as snowshoes and snowcats made this adventurous journey possible, as tv.de highlights.
Special trips on the Danube
Interested travelers can also take a look at an upcoming New Year's Eve cruise on the Danube, which offers a wonderful way to welcome the New Year. This eight-day trip begins on December 28, 2025 and costs from EUR 1,995 with a minimum of 15 people. A good opportunity for everyone who wants to experience the special flair of this region, according to Zeitreisen.
With this year's first expedition, Kessler shows once again that adventure is never far away. Whether on foot, by bike or comfortably in a senior mobile home – a trip along the Danube promises many exciting insights and unforgettable encounters!
