Holiday in North Sea

About North Sea

The German North Sea coast is one of the last great natural paradises in Europe – a place where the horizon seems endless, the wind tastes of salt and freedom, and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Wadden Sea reveals its fascinating underwater world at low tide. For millions of Germans, the North Sea is not an exotic distant destination, but a deeply rooted piece of home: Here, as children, they built sandcastles, peeled crabs, and listened to the sound of the waves. The East Frisian Islands – Borkum, Juist, Norderney, Baltrum, Langeoog, Spiekeroog, and Wangerooge – are the crown jewels of the North Sea. Each island has its own character: Norderney, the fashionable seaside resort with a thalasso spa, Juist, the car-free dream island, Spiekeroog, the untouched natural beauty. The North Frisian Islands Sylt, Föhr, and Amrum complement with kilometers of sandy beaches and thatched-roof villages. Wadden walks at low tide are among the most unique natural experiences in Germany. Walking barefoot through the mud, discovering lugworms and heart clams, perhaps even taking a guided walk to a Hallig – these create memories for a lifetime. The Halligen, those tiny marsh islands that are almost completely submerged during storm surges, are unique in the world. Along the coast, the seaside resorts line up: Cuxhaven, Büsum, Husum, Sankt Peter-Ording with its 12-kilometer-long beach and iconic stilt houses. The North Sea is perfect for families – the healing climate, the shallow beaches, and the abundance of nature experiences make every vacation an adventure. The journey is incredibly easy: reachable by car or train from almost any German city in just a few hours, no flights needed, no language barrier.
