Panoramic hike across the "green, red and white" North Sea island of Heligoland
This is a fantastic and easy tour of the only German high seas island with a few stops at the long Anna, the fish stalls and the duty-free shops.
At a good 50 metres above sea level, there are sweeping views over the sea from almost everywhere in good weather. With a bit of luck, harbour seals and grey seals at close range can be spotted. The wealth of flora and fauna is impressive.
Highlights:
- Local flora and fauna
- Heligoland lobster shacks
- Lange Anna
