Our 2nd quarter call is how the land a small archipelago foal of Natural Beauty and germanys only island in the high seas its located in the north sea nearly 50 kilometers from the mainland. Ventured out to sea its. The journey from hamburg to heligoland takes 3 and a half hours a catamaran takes me there no other boat is faster. Than. All the passengers initially have the same route. Everybody passes the colorful up stops. And walks along the problem not. Somewhere here is my hope. So for most of the tourists who arrive here afternoon there are 3000 visitors every day but i would like to stay over night so i have more time to discover this small island. I check in at my 1st walk takes me into the countryside. All the way up to the. Route. Around the island the cliffs. Far as the eye can see the mainland is 50 kilometers away. I passed. This Free Standing rock. And everybody hopes that it can withstand the waves for a long time and i continue to germanys smallest nature reserves. The rock of the. Ground. But it is named after the. The small feathered. Amateur photographers wait for them to take their courageous plunge. Because there are not many places in the europe where he can get so close to wildlife. Although this island is very small it has an incredibly eventful history. You can learn more about it in the helical let me see im. The boss here he tells me that this island used to be a pirates nest a navy fort and trading post in the early 18th century it was just as important as the International Port of hamburg is today. It was once part of denmark then of Great Britain it was not until 890. 00 that the island became german a fiercely contested piece of ground. When was the most dramatic moment in the history of the island. The most dramatic moment was definitely the end of world war 2 when the great bombardment everybody had to be evacuated came the big bang in april 947 resulting in the complete destruction of the islands buildings. The British Occupying forces once tried to destroy all the islands military facilities with 6. 7 kilograms of explosives never again should it be used for military purposes for many years heligoland remained in the habitable. d within 150. 00 for the population began returning to the island and tourism started to appear again. First they slept in tents and because there was no place at all to stay here on the island there were no houses or anything. So they stayed a little tense and doing stunts sold whatever they needed. You could pass through and buy little souvenirs and people came in droves to see. Soon too risque masses not for the beautiful nature but to buy duty free liquor and cigarettes. Or how did the island endure this i just imagine 10 or 12000 visitors here on this really small island. It was terrible i must say there was no room between all the people that we just heard of past the shops and through here shoulder to shoulder. You might see something nice one of the shops we didnt stand a chance of getting to it to buy it we were just pushed on ahead by the crowds until he went out of back at the ship not to say home again. How come prices are so cheap on helical land. Thats a privilege we heard from our time with britain and its been preserved through all the changes and rule was taken on in the treaties so weve always had our judy and tax free status here. It still exists but today the tourists arrive here because of nature almost as it used to be when heligoland became a seaside resort in the early 19th century and 1st people came here because of the good air it was the beginning of how legal lance tourism. Thats the cue for me to look around for a souvenir this will fly from my balcony.
