Heligoland Attractions Helgoland

 
The island of Heligoland (Helgoland in German) lies in the Deutsche Bucht (Heligoland Bay) some 70km/45mi from the Elbe estuary and 50km/30mi west of the Eiderstedt peninsula. It is a rocky island of red sandstone with fringes of white dunes and a rich vegetation cover.

Heligoland is now a popular holiday resort, attracting visitors with its mild climate, pure sea air and modern spa installations, as well as its duty-free facilities.

The local fishermen enjoy the long-established privilege of bringing visitors ashore; incoming vessels must therefore discharge their passengers into the fishermen's boats.
