As soon as you board the ferry to Föhr or Amrum in Dagebüll, or roll over the Hindenburg Dam by train in front of Sylt, a very special atmosphere sets in: You take a deep breath of the fresh, pure North Sea air, feel calmer, and look forward to relaxing days on the North Frisian Islands. Whether on the green island of Föhr, the wide sandy beaches of Amrum, the characteristic dune landscapes of Sylt, the Nordstrand peninsula, the marshlands of Pellworm, or the Halligen, the sea has always shaped and continues to shape the landscapes, people, and history. With around 200 images, the North Frisian Islands are presented in all their facets, with specials covering the Wadden Sea National Park, the island churches and talking gravestones, customs and festivals, as well as culinary specialties.
