Our viewers' most beautiful travel videos
March 27, 2019
The winner of the competition for the best travel video organized by DW's travel show Check-in is Miguel Angel Sotelo from Spain. With his wife and two children, he traveled on the Trans-Siberian and Trans-Mongolian Railways from Russia's capital, Moscow, to Ulaanbaatar in Mongolia in the summer of 2018, covering 6,500 kilometers in four weeks.
"The journey was an unforgettable experience that left an everlasting footprint in my memory. Recommended for anyone who is an adventurer in the heart," said Miguel about the trip.
His video convinced our jury thanks to its mysterious imagery offering rare impressions of the people, all while revealing a vast and beautiful landscape. It's a film that will make you want to discover more about the longest railway line in the world, with a total length of 9,288 kilometers (5,772 miles).

The three most beautiful travel films will be rewarded with a DW backpack along with a smartphone lens set and a selfie stick.
Wolf-Peter Steinheisser from Germany came in second, with his video of a hot-air balloon ride over the old royal city of Bagan in Myanmar.
