A tour on the cliff path is always nice, regardless of whether you are attracted by photo motifs, just feel the wind or take a break on each bench and enjoy the different perspectives.

Highlight (Segment) • Natural Monument

There, where the sky and the sea meet, on the horizon and then a little further, there lies Helgoland, Germany's only offshore island.

March 26, 2022,Helgoland 🏝️ Inselrunde mit Klippenweg zur Langen Anna
A great afternoon on Germany's only offshore island.

In the morning in Hamburg on the catamaran, back the next afternoon. Once along the Elbe and out onto the North Sea. The island is really small, but this tour, which is quite short in terms of the number of kilometers, could have taken a few more hours, there was so much …

The island of Heligoland is now heavily influenced by tourism. The colorful lobster shacks look beautiful and the harbor facilities are well-maintained, but we quickly left them behind and focused on nature. I saw three animal species here for the first time: the northern gannet, which only breeds on Heligoland in Germany, the large woodlouse (a red spider species), and …

This weekend, @Deleted User, @De Höchte, and I met up for a girls' weekend😉 in Otterndorf.

Unfortunately, @De Höchte had to work during the day on Saturday, so @Deleted User and I set off alone to visit Heligoland😀.

A decision we absolutely don't regret. Heligoland is a beautiful island😍, we had great weather, and the landscape is magnificent. We were …

1 day in Heligoland. You can easily hike the island in a day. Super beautiful. Steeped in history. Geologically very interesting. Lange Anna is definitely a must-see. But the Lummenfelsen rock with its gannets and the cliffs in the north of the island are also truly worth seeing.

Rarity: red flint.

Funny: the island belonged to England until 1890.

Pretty tired after a long day on Heligoland, the high seas climate is exhausting 🛳😉. The island showed itself from its best sides today 🌤, I roamed it all over the place and spontaneously fell in love a little. I could never really imagine what you can find so fascinating about a small rock 🪨 in the sea 🌊, now …

Explored the "back" of the island today. A beautiful park, a beautiful stretch of beach, small allotment gardens, and between the hundreds of guillemots we discovered Tortalk and Fulmar today.🤩😍 (The fulmar, however, with expert help). After delicious ☕️&🍰 we went to watch the sunset again..
A relaxed day on Helgoland. 🐦‍⬛🌅
