At the sight of the sunset on the extensive beaches of the North Sea coast, the worries of everyday life are quickly forgotten.
Destination # 1: Butjadingen - a paradise for young families
Comfort is the top priority on the green North Sea peninsula between the Jade Bay and the Weser. Children in particular can let their adventurous spirit run free here. This is ensured by the pirate playground on the Friesian beach in Tossen. In addition to tire swings and a climbing net, a Noah's Ark ship awaits the little ones.
New parents and their babies also get their money's worth in Butjadingen. Because in Tossen is the first baby beach in Germany. This is an area of 250 square meters, which was framed with glass elements and equipped with awnings, hot showers and changing tables.

In the meantime, it is worth taking a closer look at the picturesque village. In addition, concerts are held almost every day at the harbor from April to October.
Destination # 2: Henne Strand - ideal for bathing holidaymakers and friends of water sports
Water sports enthusiasts in particular like to spend their vacation in Henne Strand and book a suitable holiday home for this purpose nordsee-holidays.de. On the dreamy beach you can enjoy the wonderful view in any wind and weather.
Henne Strand is located around 150 kilometers north of the Danish border and impresses above all with its Scandinavian cosiness, the extensive beach regions as well as the imposing dunes on the North Sea and the very original forest areas in the hinterland.
No special equipment is required for Blaabjerg, the highest mountain in Henne Strand. The "summit" is at a height of only 64 meters, but offers an impressive panoramic view of the vast country, which can almost be compared with the view from the Lupfenturm in the Black Forest.

The nearby towns of Esbjerg, Ringkøbing and Varde invite you to take a short trip.

Esbjerg, on the other hand, attracts visitors with the largest pedestrian zone in Denmark.
Travel destination # 3: Borkum - the island for allergy sufferers
Allergy sufferers who suffer from pollen count especially appreciate the good, iodine-rich air in Borkum. Here it is possible to take a deep breath and leave the tissues and medication in your pocket. The reason for this is that Borkum is influenced by the ocean climate all year round.

The endless sandy beaches with beach chairs and the Wadden Sea National Park are perfect for a vacation with the whole family. Children are particularly enthusiastic about the bark reef lightship. This is the last German lightship, but today it can only be admired as a museum ship.
Borkum can be reached from Emden with a two-hour ferry ride. Even the trip to the island, with the salty air blowing in your face and the screeching seagulls circling the boat, is the first great holiday experience.
Allergy sufferers can finally breathe freely again with the prevailing North Sea climate on Borkum.
Destination # 4: Vejers Strand - it doesn't get any more hygienic
