Rügen
Today we visit Germany's largest island, Rügen. It is 52 kilometers long and up to 41 kilometers wide. It is home to a number of luxury seaside resorts that since 1990 have been restored to their former glory. We visit the famous resort of Binz and take a look at the various architectural styles.
Fehmarn
Today's episode of our current series on German islands takes us to the island of Fehmarn in the Baltic Sea.
Sylt
Today we are off to what is probably Germany's most famous North Sea island, Sylt. It is linked to the mainland by a causeway. You can either take the train across the causeway, use the motorrail link if you want to use your car on the island or also cross to Sylt from the Danish island of Römö by car ferry.
The Halligen
The Halligen are small islands in the North Sea. Some of them used to be part of the mainland or larger islands that became isolated due to erosion. Others were formed by the tides. There are ten of them off the coast of Schleswig Hostein and six of them are inhabited all year round.
Helgoland
We continue our series on German islands with a trip to Heligoland off the coast of Schleswig Holstein in the North Sea.
Langeoog
Anyone who needs more proof or wants to see other projects by Christian Waldvogel can visit an exhibition in Rapperswil in northeastern Switzerland until August 22nd. Our series this week will take us on a journey to six of Germany's most beautiful islands. We're starting in the North Sea LM REIN off the coast of Lower Saxony, where the East Frisian islands stretch for some 90 kilometres and thereby help protect the region's famous mudflats. Our destination today is the island of Langeoog between Baltrum and Spiekeroog LM RAUS - like many of its neighbouring islands it has no autombile traffic and is therefore a perfect place to unwind and commune with the elements.
