land’s end at Holnis
In October, I visited the northernmost point of Germany along the coast of the Baltic Sea.
A tiny speck of sand forms the peninsula of Holnis in Schleswig-Holstein. The landscape is characterized by fields, meadows, and some tiny villages with wetlands serving migratory birds as resting and feeding grounds. Farm tracks and beaches allow hiking and offer views across the Baltic Sea towards Denmark. While the German North Sea island of Sylt is still further north, it is also much more crowded with visitors. At Holnis you instead feel like you reached the end of the road…

I had a nice afternoon walk at the peninsula even though the weather was cloudy. Autumn migration was in full swing with geese crowding the wetlands.

Thank you! 🙂 I changed the name only once some weeks ago… are you still traveling?
I thought you changed to to Matt Travels A Lot We’ve been home for about a month. I can’t believe how clean and quiet Canada is!!!!
no – that is my instagram name 😉 yes, Canada might be quiet – but does it have such beautiful temples? jungles with tigers? medieval palaces? spicy food? 😉 I guess each country has its own advantages 😉 but I hope you enjoy your time at home!
Oh sorry, I got confused. You’re right, home is great, but we’re already planning our next trip – but a little shorter this time.
