society. women move differently. what they believe. and closest anable this culture. clings over rango for starts march 8th on g.w. go. today i'm off to the north sea going to visit germany's most popular island zits

and the state f.c. charge time. if like me to travel here by train your vacation starts at best and one train station. and these guys will be the 1st people you meet or meters tall they are the traveling giants in the way it was by much. the best part is it's only a 10 minute walk to the beach not too shabby am i right. here invest in london where zilch roll as a vacation hot spot to get the island has been a magnet for tourists since the mid 19th century. but. nowadays though it has a lot of fans and more 4 visitors than residents so it is home to about 20000

people and welcomes some 900000 tourists every year so the plate can get pretty crowded in the summer if you're looking to be the crowds you should definitely come here between the month of november and april today i want to find out what still has to offer in the low season. activities that will chase away your winter blues tips for the great outdoors and indoors. our hot spot this week of the oyster farm in germany. and you are from hong kong. shares his make a shit. if you want to hit the beaches on suits you'll have to deal with the do this they're everywhere on the islands but make sure to stay on the walkways the jews provide natural coastal protection the grass on the make sure the sand doesn't get blown are washed away

and the islanders really need for it to stay this way. it will. follow me up there will have a great feel. do you know is the island's biggest elevation its 52 meters high a great starting point for my trip around but before we kick things off properly here's a little overview for you guys to get a bit of a feeling for the island. the west beaches more than 40 kilometers of fine white sand. the scene is wild here nowhere else on german coasts to the waves break with such

force that's why surfers love this place. air here is especially healthy the surf sprays fine droplets of mineral rich sea water and the wind just blows your cares away. hiking and bicycle trails take you across the dunes to the east side of the island . this is the gentler side here the intertidal much flats of the one seat. life here is determined by the tide every 6 hours the sea comes in or goes out. and natural landscape especially worth protecting the widened sea with its denizens

has been a unesco world heritage site since 2000. and 10 villages have a distinctive style. compass embodies. with its. place for the well heeled. is the most elegant of the 12 german north sea islands. the phrase in village of chitin is steeped in tradition the buildings date from the 18th century they're known as captains houses in the local museum you can find out about the way people used to live. they were seafarers and winners captains and fisherman. then tourism came towards

the end of the 19th century and turned the fishing island into a vacation island. everyone finds something special about. somewhere between the sea and the title flats and the inviting for miss fear. made my way up to the north of the islands to live. northernmost town it's the northernmost town in all of germany everything the list is denmark. started from list harbor and this ship is going to take me to see what might be the mud flats most popular inhabitants. the seals were lucky enough to see some. circling the north seas because zealand parents lived between the north friesian i'm a. little word of advice don't make the mistake i mean and leave your binoculars at home. there they are and.

have it in a month class is one of the highlights of any trips is good but of course around this time of year there's lots more to do around here check out our accommodation. if you're on suit in february you can help drive away the winter. the big burden is the 1st big festival of the year and it always takes place on february 21st it's goodbye to winter. the sound of the sea in your ears and almost nothing else. the great thing in the offseason blues the solitude on the beaches. you can stroll

for hours it's ideal for anyone who enjoys braving the elements. or a brisk jog around the dunes. if you're interested in learning more about nature on the island there's a huge selection of guided tours all year round. there's a lot to learn about suits landscape. gardener sand dunes. the wind blows the sand off the windward side pushing the dunes forward and the sand slides back down on the other side you know not far off and i don't know. but it's some point it's time to go inside and. what better place than a cosy tea shop. tea talking is

a beloved ritual all over north freesia ideally with delicious cake to go with it. the tea is strong the perfect pick me up. another place you can go to warm up the beach sauna 5 of them along the west beaches sitting here you have a great view of the sea and you can jump in to cool all. the saunas usually open in early april as spring makes it's come back. to landmarks art it's light houses there are 54 of which are still in operation but you can only visit one the helm night house and the far south of the island and that's exactly where i have my next date. to hurt me very close to her the

lighthouse. like to tell you a bit about the lighthouse and show you what it looks like inside do you understand the northern dialect. we are. told this little about i'd prefer to speak standard german. then let's do that how come this way into the lighthouse. there counted tours of the lighthouse several times a week. yeah he doesn't get higher no we're now in the holy of holies a lighthouse where in the lantern room every light house has its own i did signal. i couldn't even how do they work no one's doing it manually girls i didn't do that well since the light house was converted to automat. operation it is run automatically no one has to control it or not. and the line will speak and runs

from an hour before sunset to an hour after sunrise this. long it emits light or. well i learned something today. quite windy of here but it's a great spot to check out the southern tip of the island this is pretty much the only place where you can get such an amazing view of the south shore. lets out continue our journey r.v. middle of the week takes us to warmer climes to laos that's where our viewer from hong kong spent his vacation always with his yo yo at hand and.

my picks up is the forces of nature museum and the clue is in the title here you can experience firsthand how natural forces impact the islands the wind for example is pretty much moves mountains here or at least do. and storm tides there are extremely heavy on the beaches. every year winter storms and storm tides take a heavy toll on those it's coast the coastal protection service works hard to make

sure the island stays in its current shape and throughout the decades the methods they have for keeping the sand on the island have all greatly see for yourselves. first they built a growing and hope the waves would break on it before they hit land a good idea but it didn't work. the spit of land on sort southern tip is the most at risk their enormous tetrapods were installed on the beach in hopes of keeping the sand in place but the sea was stronger now adays sand is retrieved from the sea ship suck it up off the coast like that can cleaners and pipelines pump it out to the beach that costs $46000000.00 euros a year. suit is an island in motion and that process really be stopped i'm talking to dr strasser who runs the forces of nature museum. is it because it is known for its

beautiful beaches but the sand keeps causing problems why is that. because the sand gets washed away by storm tides is the it is prey to coastal erosion that is if sand isn't washed up on to the beach the way it used to be and the beach doesn't grow but naturally get smaller because the sand is carried away that. the muck why doesn't and that's even worse when there are storm surges. so if you want to preserve the shoreline the sand has to be added to it every year . and we do that with beach nourishment or sand replenish land force people even what would soon look like without human intervention doesn't mean it's in the nature of a coast to be in a state of flux everything changes it's only a question of time and then here owns those it's easy to see that if we didn't take measures to protect the coastline the island would continue to move toward the

mainland that is eastwards. is that really the best solution i assume that the animals that live 10 kilometers from the coast are very different from those that live near the beach can this interference in the ecosystem become a problem. that's true. it is interference but considering the alternative measures coastal and nature conservationists agree that this is the most environmentally friendly intervention. to take least i know how is climate change affecting. i mean we have a rise in sea levels around served. that means storm surges begin at a higher level because the basic sea level is already slightly higher we also notice a change in the species composition in the water and seen national park. that may not be something tourists notice but those of us doing research here really see

changes in the habitat. in the home. by the changes problematic. the term problematic is a very human viewpoint here to change is a part of life it's unstoppable that much is clear. on the one hand we have to consider how we can take climate protection measures where we have a human influence. on the other hand some of these alterations are irreversible and we have to adjust to them and make the best of the situation. on the. ones in general we as a civilization there are a great responsibility to deal with the environment more carefully than we have done in the past for the sake of future generations. to be. honest and that's what the reasons have always done the fine natural forces and

adapt the. f.a.q. for talking to us thank you. speaking of change up until the 1950s the freezing month flats where a natural habitat for all the stars but that change suddenly when they were wiped out due to overfishing but now they're back. in 1986 deep myers i was stunned company began to revive insults oyster tradition oysters are no longer fish they're farmed this is germany's only oyster farm what now comes to your table as a sorta right is an oyster species made up to japan that's been introduced on sort of. being a parent or head to the oyster farm she's responsible for the well being of the shellfish. more than a 1000000 of them

a year are harvested in list. in the spring the oysters are taken to the wild and see and stay there all summer so they can grow to a good size so to write out those need a lot of care the mesh sacks they are in have to be turned over and shaken daily. these are juveniles. as you can see they're still very small they need to go through a few more growth phases we take them in for the winter and put them out again in the summer to continue growing. this bay is a unesco world heritage site so you can only get close to the oysters habitat on a guided tour otherwise it's off limits. the oysters spend the winter in a tank filled with sea water a sea water pipeline keeps them in the right environment.

also in general people say that oysters taken out of cold water tastes better off but personally i like them the way nature delivers them. and if that's 20 degrees celsius they taste like oysters from 20 degree c. water and also the. if you like them even hotter so it's a right to be steamed or baked and serve any number of toppings. to try them myself what an amazing selection but i'll start with the classic raw oyster. 10 times for the best flavor apparently. it's a good job i'm hungry. my buddy steve hamish one will love this place he's
