Wadden Sea - East Frisia Islands in the North Sea - between high and low tide
Moin, moin East Frisia: this is a land of islands on the wide horizon, shaped by the rhythm of the tides; of romantic fishing villages nestling behind the dykes, sheltered from the rough sea; of flat green countryside framed by windmills and old farmsteads; and of its endearing people.
