Heligolands coast from the sea

Heligoland, island on the high seas

60 km off Germany's North Sea coast lies Heligoland. For decades now, guests from all directions have been coming to this unique island to enjoy the unusual landscape and the peace and quiet. Pristine red rocks, a white sandy beach on the dune, blue-green sea and unspoiled nature with rare seabirds make up the special charm of Heligoland. Holidaymakers and day visitors can also stroll along the maritime mile, visit the colourful lobster stands, enjoy Heligoland specialities in the numerous restaurants or marvel at pictures and handcrafts by the island artists.

Flora & Fauna on Heligoland

Every year in spring, Heligoland becomes a unique bird paradise. Common Guillemots, Northern Gannets, Northern Fulmar, Common Petrel, Kittiwake and Razorbill gather on the Guillemot Rock to breed and rest on their way to their home areas. From the cliff edge path, you can observe the birds particularly well and study their individual characteristics. Meanwhile, several hundred seals lie on the dune and can be admired from only a few metres away.
The nature on Heligoland is also unique, many plant species can only be found here.
