Germany's North Sea Coast (3/4): The Charm of the Tides - From Hamburg to St. Peter-Ording

Описание: From the mouth of the River Elbe this episode's route leads us to Germany’s only high-sea island Heligoland and all the way up to the coast of North Frisia. A unique world, which changes its face twice a day – floods at high tide and mudflats at low tide.

The island of Trischen is a breeding place for sea birds and is off limits for visitors. Only biologist Janina Spalke is allowed to live here, and solely for scientific purposes: she her feathered neighbours. For seven months her only contact with the outside world is a bumboat that lands once a week and supplies her with all necessities. Only a few kilometers away, in the middle of the national park, lies Germany's only oil platform, the Mittelplate, which delivers three percent of the German mineral oil. Near Dithmarschen farmer Rainer Carstens cultivates cabbage on 600 hectare land. The largest part of the harvest is used for the German "Sauerkraut" production. Not far off, the twelve kilometers long beaches of the North Sea spa Sankt Peter-Ording stretch as far as the eye can reach. This is the territory of the blokarts. With aerials of the famous pile dwellings, we end our journey.
