land. germany's only high seas island enjoying nature, letting the wind blow all around you and relaxing. that's what many people who come here want me to the journey from hamburg to helical and takes 3 and a half hours. a catamaran takes me there. no other boat is faster. probably. i'm already on arrival the holiday mood cakes in all the passengers initially half the same route. everybody passes the colorful lumps the huts and walks along the promenade. somewhere. here is my hotel. most of the tourists to arrive here. go back in the

afternoon. there are more or less $3000.00 visitors here every day. but i would like to stay overnight, so i have more time and no stress to discover this small island. a must on helical land is a visit to the seals. if you like it loud, you're in for the punk festival. we'll boot our thoughts and there is another holiday video of the week. this time it's from australia. ah, my 1st walk takes me into the countryside all the way up to the over lugs. ah, a route along the edge of the rock that forms helical and leaps around the island,

the cliffs path water, water, as far as the i can see, the mainland is 50 kilometers away. i passed the langer, anna, that tall anna. this freestanding rock is the landmark of helical land. every one hopes that it can withstand the wind and the waves for a long time. and i continued to germany, smallest nature reserve the lumen fez and the rock of the gilam us. it is the nesting ground of many see birds, but it is named after the gillmet in june. these small feather, bolts, take, wing, amateur photographers wait for them to take their courageous plunge. there are not many places in europe where you can get so close to wildlife bird watching isn't the only thing you can do here over there is the unit and off shore island

and even smaller than hellig over and germany's largest grease. you're calling me lives over there, and you can join a guided tour to get really close to those animals. some animals have got it figured out by law on the beach all day, basking in the sun and cool off now. and then with a quick dip in the sea and life, and halligan land is generally tranquil and unhurried. but do not island ranger makes sure it stays that way. where that, joshua, sr, come, mindful, more and more guests are coming to see hello land and want to benefit from the high seas air that more and more animals are coming as well. summit and the dealer ranges are here to make sure we can all live together and get along. all right, my people can ask me questions and enjoy the beach in harmony. i've got to read a tilly's area responsibility is just 7 tenths of a square kilometer. the island of dune and

a couple of dunes is about all it is in human land dino range. is there any found here because this island is called dina and i medina, ranger random once a week, halligan's visitors have an opportunity to tag along with the ranger unexplored tuna island on an organized nature to read varying muffin. if you find something and think it looks exciting, pick it up and take it along. we'll have a look and i'm sure we can figure out what it is said to them. often both of is somewhat rare and not easy to find is the red flint thought as in mother i becomes and 3 variations, but it's always some shade of red to you or not. ross colored and not orange, as you can find it in yellow and several variations of that. but the red flint is what's unique to hillock or land ah, for most of the visitors here, the true stars of the island or the sea home affairs will happen over the birthing

season begins around november and almost as soon as the females given birth. she's able to mate again, the lago, also name. so 2 weeks later, the 1st bulls are back trying to get at her again. won't. i'm not as cute and harmless. as the seals may look, they're not necessarily cuddly. the gray seal is germany's biggest predator and it can move a 20 kilometers per hour. so it's not a good idea to get too close to them. and even if nothing's happened so far, the possibilities always there. i can't read their minds even come flying home. but she can count the animals monitoring that population as one of her routine tasks along with showing visitors around dance. you see this on the sand and surf fit for man and beast the like. oh,

although this island is very small, it has an incredibly eventful history. and you can learn more about it in the het legal museum yoke, unless is the boss here. he tells me that this island used to be a pirates nest, a navy fort, and a trading post. in the early 18th century, it was just as important as the international port of hamburg is to day. elegant was once part of denmark than of great britain. it was not until $1890.00 that the island became german, a fiercely contested piece of ground. when was the most dramatic moment in the history of the island to the indian? i had at a modest the most dramatic moment was definitely the end of world war. 2 the great bombardments and he hung up on him, and everybody had to be evacuated into and then came the big bang. in april 1947

resulted in the complete destruction of the islands. buildings, not the british occupying forces once tried to destroy all the islands military facilities with 6.7, killer tons of explosives. never again should it be used for military purposes for many years elegant, remained uninhabitable. busy a few in fulton county before in 1954, the population began returning to the island, and tourism immediately started appear again of our money off that 1st they slept intense. undue not because there was no place at all to stay here on the island. there were no houses or anything, so they stayed in little tents and do, and stun sold whatever they needed. call we could pass true and by little souvenirs . and people came in droves to see helical. and again, he had celine. soon, tourists came and masses. not because of the beautiful nature, but to by duty free liquor and cigarettes and anointing emphasis on voice when we had how did the island and your this or i just imagine 10 or 12000 visitors here on

this really small island as, while fortunately it was terrible, it must be said that there was no room between all the people who we just heard had passed the shops and through here shoulder to shoulder and florida. we might see something nice and one of the shops b didn't stand the chance of getting to it to buy it, which is pushed on ahead by the crowds until you ended up back at the ship and at the sail home again upon me come and how come prices are so cheap on helical ent, i at us and we believe that's a privilege we had from her time with britain. and it's been preserved through all the changes and rule on does it. it was taken on in the treaties. and so we've always had her duty and tax we status here. now it still exists. but today the tourists come here for the nature almost as it used to be when helical and became a seaside resort in the early 19th century. at 1st, people came here for the good air. it was the beginning of helical, lance tourism this

island is so small, you can easily walk around it, and it just takes one or 2 hours helical and is pretty popular with tourists. and we will show you wide mm hm. pentagon lance, dance, getting crowded every day around noon. you can almost set your watch by it. that's when the excursion ships arrive from the north sea coast and hand ag. the visitors a fairy to land from the ship's in jolly boat's known locally as built at boats in 2018. they were listed with unesco. intangible world heritage. oh, it's afternoon as humans from when the seaside result was founded here in 1827. we didn't have any harbor, no break, waters appears. we had nothing at all notes and i just went 1st. passenger ship arrived a year later, they had to drop anchor somewhere and our fishermen and pilots went out in our fishing boat and brought the guests for the 1st time over to land in their berto

boats. and he guessed of my brother, go, come on my lunk of them. eventually the harbour was built and ferrying passengers was no longer necessary. soon after the ships put in the pedestrian malls, philip visitors still come to shop duty free. oh, they generally have 4 hours before their ship sales. again. the tours are time so that the day trip has can go along to the bunker to it brings them some 25 meters deep inside the red cliffs. this is where the heli, garland is, sought shelter from the bombings. it's the only remainder of a once vast bunker complex running through out hello good. and what is the time to reconsider the part we're now came through all the bombings in and after the war on damaged. the last bombs fell in february 1952. so it's important to us shortens

many halleck gl unders, especially the older ones, older lives to whitman, don't recall the item from id number to leave. the lobster hats are typical of eleger land that few people know they were built here in the 19 fifties and sixty's as part of a plant city. it's a little 1st, of course the cliff was here and a huge bunk of english blew up in 1947. when did the image, the more fits that led to the formation of the lines now called the mit land plant . us midland and standing or, and the lobster hearts are now essentially a retaining wall for the loose rock autodesk alfred locker. the english dime and architects competition was announced for the reconstruction in 1951 over a 1000 architects to part their task was to find the optimum use of the limited space while orienting the houses favorably to the sun and wind.

every detail was thought up down to the paint. it was limited to 14 callous to day heyliger land is like an open air museum of the 19 fifties and sixties building style. almost every house is listed as historical a closer look at hellig land quickly reveals that it's full of fascinating stories and worth the longest stay or even a return visit. ah, i want to do that to get on the boat and go around the island. it takes 45 minutes. the excursion boats only put out if the waves are no higher than 2 meters. thank goodness, ah.

in the slipstream of the island it is still peaceful. but as soon as we clear the tip of the island, the rocking starts almost to meet her waits. all you need now is a strong stomach and occasionally something to hold on to nobody get seasick. we all have our sea legs, water, windy, and waves. that's what our weekly b mail is about as well. our viewer johan is from singapore, loves traveling just like me. he's been to the other side of the world to australia

and heres his holiday video. ah, ah, ah. ah, ah. ah

their tents unless the wind has swept them away. in the meantime, the lobster house by the harbor are a good place for a snack. these used to be warehouses for the fisherman to day restaurants have moved in they mainly offer seafood dishes, for example, helical and can hipa crap pincers can put on the spectrum. but the cutlery is strange by consensus, and i'd write that on it with an ever read yes. was a homicide. ok. though. up, we have to break it a little like this. not crack it sound done. combed us here. i think my colleagues, the finish would love this. our globetrotter always tries to the local food on his travels all around the world. and this time steve has been to cuba and here's his
