My first longer vacation for over a year took me back to Fehmarn, a little island in the eastern sea that I had visited the last time when I was 8 or 9 years old.

We had rented a flat in Puttgarden on the northern coast in „Op de Wei 2“ which was called „Große Strandperle“. This turned out to be a very cosy and nice flat which had exactly the right flair for summer vacation. Obviously the in 1900 built house had been restored with great effort and furnished and decorated with love and Ikea.

From our flat one could easily reach the northern beach by a short walk. Puttgarden beach is not really meant to be a beach for swimming. It’s stony and only provides a small area with sand but more than nice for a walk in the evening which we did directly the first evening after an eleven hours drive (lots of traffic jams)

There’s a lot to see and we didn’t make all the spots I would have liked to ..but those are the areas that can be seen in the pictures below:

• Puttgarden Beach
• Reptile Exhibition
• Aquarium
• History Museum
• Westermarkelsdorf Beach
• Lemkenhafen Mill Museum
• Lighthouse Flügge
• Nature Protection Area „Grüner Brink“
• Beach „Grüner Brink“
