March 7, 2025,☀️⚓ Frühlingsgefühle in Heiligenhafen - NSG Graswarder / Seele baumeln lassen

It's getting more beautiful every day on the Baltic Sea 🌊☀️ what an incredible luck to be here this week 🥰 in 16 degrees and sunshine - sometimes barefoot - walked through the sand, sat on the beach and watched the extremely windless Baltic Sea and the birds 🐦.
Strolled to Graswarder with the pretty colorful houses.
In between there …

August 2, 2023,Sightseeing Heiligenhafen

Today's excursion went to Heiligenhafen.
The popular holiday resort is on the eastern tip of the Wagrien Peninsula, just before the Fehmarn Sound Bridge, which leads to the sunny island of Fehmarn.
The holiday resort is located directly on the Baltic Sea and on a shallow inland lake, so bathing fun is guaranteed for all ages.
Unfortunately, it was too …
