Beach chairs on Steinwarder in Heiligenhafen, Germany
Did you know that the first beach chairs were developed in the 19th century to protect against the fine sand and wind? Beach chairs have a special charm even in stormy weather, as in the picture today in front of the pier on Steinwarder in Heiligenhafen, Germany. Steinwarder, a picturesque peninsula, was originally only connected to the mainland by salt marshes and the Eichholz lowlands. Today, it is a paradise for vacationers seeking peace and nature.
Right next to Steinwarder lies Graswarder, a fascinating nature reserve covering 230 hectares. Graswarder was originally an island, but was artificially connected to Steinwarder in 1954, creating a sprawling peninsula. Graswarder is known for its lush flora and fauna and is home to numerous plant and bird species. Heiligenhafen itself is a charming little town with a rich history and many recreational opportunities. It's an ideal place to escape from everyday life and unwind. What are you waiting for? Plan a trip to Heiligenhafen, enjoy the fresh Baltic Sea air and let your gaze wander over the vast ocean.
