Seals and royal city - Friedrichskoog and Glückstadt

ئېلان قىلىندى: 16.03.2024

In the afternoon we arrived in Friedrichskoog and first drove to Friedrichskoog-Spitze.


Friedrichskoog Peak

The district of Friedrichskoog is located directly on the North Sea.


Friedrichskoog Peak

Only the dike separates the land below sea level from the water.


Friedrichskoog Peak

We walked across the dike along the water and enjoyed the sun, even though the wind was blowing quite freshly around our noses.

Friedrichskoog Peak


We walked into the sea on the Trischendamm.


Friedrichskoog Peak


The dam, which was supposed to prevent the dike from being washed out, runs towards the island of Trischen.


Friedrichskoog Peak


The island, located in Wartenmeer National Park, is inhabited only by wild birds and a bird warden in the summer months.

The next morning we drove to Friedrichskoog-Ort to visit the seal station there.


Seal station Friedrichskoog


First we saw the feeding of the older animals that permanently live there.


Seal station Friedrichskoog


These were either born in captivity or could not be released into the wild, which is why they live permanently in the seal station.

Otherwise, young animals are housed there and are released back into the wild as soon as they are old and strong enough.


Friedrichskoog

From there our journey continued to Glückstadt.


Am Fleth Glückstadt


Glückstadt is the only city in Schleswig-Holstein that was founded by a king.


Bridge house Glückstadt

Christian IV had it built on the Elbe in 1617.


At the port of Glückstadt

He wanted to compete with the Hamburg trade.


Glückstadt Market Square

We walked through the large market square into the center of the city.

The street “Am Hafen” on the water was particularly beautiful.

After the city tour in sunshine and icy wind, our day ended with a delicious meal.
