Brief overview of topics:

The Friedrichskoog Seal Station is the only authorized reception center for seal pups that have been abandoned or found to be sick in Schleswig-Holstein. This spring, a major overhaul of the facility was to take place. Now visitors can once again watch the seals, watch them being fed and learn about the animals. The main purpose of the station is to raise and release howlers found in the Wadden Sea. For this, contact with people should not be too close. However, some animals cannot be reintroduced into the wild, e.g. B. due to illness or injury. They then stay permanently at the Friedrichskog Seal Station.

Bukkeburg Castle has 250 rooms. A prince cannot live in all these places with his family, so there are some that have been empty for a long time: the Lost Places, so to speak. And you can explore them with the camera. From the former wine cellar to the attic where the servants lived. Photo tour for hunters with special motives.

One of the biggest attractions in Teufelsmoor around the artists’ town of Worpswede is the so-called peat barge trips. Farmers from the surrounding area used to transport peat to Bremen in these boats under large brown sails. Several associations work to preserve this cultural heritage and offer tours on the Teufelsmoor waterways with original replicas of historic barges. Special tours are also offered: with lanterns, at sunrise or sunset, and recently with the accompaniment of gongs. Sound practitioner Elizabeth Dierlich from Worpswede came up with the feature and a team from the northern tour accompanied the trip down the Hong River.

Stud manager Menke has been working at Ganshaw since 1971. He has already studied there. In 1995 he took over the stud farm at Treuhand, created a breed of Trakehner and Mecklenburg Warmblood and made a name for himself across the country with his parade mares. He, his people and many volunteers from all over Mecklenburg-Vorpommern offer the audience a four-hour program. Weeks in advance, after work, they practice individual points of the program. One of the attractions is the largest pair of quadrilles: 32 horses are harnessed, 16 carriages roll across the square — not just like that, but in choreographed patterns.

At the age of 60, Joachim Bittins-Schmeichel realized his lifelong dream: a hotel on the shores of the Baltic Sea. In 2019, he opened the “Hotel zur Seemöwe” in Kirchdorf on the island of Poel. Now a qualified restaurant manager manages 17 rooms and 10 apartments directly opposite. And soon the old captain’s house will be added. In “Seemöwe” he created a cafe for day visitors to the island. Big hit: Joachim’s homemade cheesecake and fruit spreads with fruit from our garden. 20 years ago, Joachim Bittins-Schmeichel moved from North Rhine-Westphalia to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern because of love. Now the hotelier is constantly shuttling between Poel Island and Küllungsborn, his very private retreat.

The bed of the Wandze river stretches idyllically in the east of Hamburg and provides a green city. There is also the Wandsbeek Special Botanical Garden, a small paradise of lawns between beautiful grass beds and an array of exotic plants such as a kerchief tree, banana trees and two sequoias, complete with a domed tropical conservatory. Helge Maas has been the owner of the 1.5-hectare facility for 40 years. From very precise to today’s natural design, it witnessed and initiated a number of changes. He attracts visitors to his biotope with constantly new ideas, such as garden workshops and plant exchange tables, and is happy to support all gardeners with valuable advice. The amateur photographer also captures on camera everything that blooms and thrives around his home and regularly posts his impressive photos on the garden’s website. “Nordtour” discovers the features of its park together with Helge Masch and is inspired by his down-to-earth passion.

They release childhood memories and feelings of happiness: Lego bricks transformed into spaceships, zoos and knightly castles. Moritz Morbach gives old bricks a new life: he looks for discarded Legos at flea markets and uses them to create pictures and objects: Mickey Mouse, emoticons, skyscrapers. So Moritz Morbach created his own form of art.

Tomatoes, potatoes, lettuce, radishes: growing and harvesting all this yourself has become fashionable again, and not only after the corona pandemic. But not everyone has their own garden with a sufficient area, and queues for receiving gardens are long. Near Altengolz near Kiel, there is now a new option for those who want to pick their own organic vegetables: GSE (vegetable self-picking) Kubitzberg. Marko Rostermund is an agricultural economist who, together with two friends from his studies, cultivates seven hectares of land according to ecological criteria. He divided this land into 150 plots, which he rents out. The principle: he and his colleagues prepare the field, plant and sow vegetables, give tools and follow everything. Tenants harvest their own vegetables all season, take care of watering and weeding themselves. Marco Rostermund says that this principle is much more valuable to him than if he had to pick and sell the vegetables himself. “Nordtour” visits GSE Kubitzberg, presents the concept with advantages and disadvantages and accompanies the tenants during the harvest.

Most people associate ice cream with good memories, the taste of summer. In areas such as Schantze, Eimsbüttel or Eppendorf, there are trendy ice cream parlors one after another. But in Dullesberg, Kim and Julian were first. Now they have ice cream fans all over Hamburg.

Penguins live mainly in the southern hemisphere. Their range extends from the Galapagos Islands on the equator to Antarctica. And in Cuxhaven there are many of them, even very many: in the unique Birgit Behrends Penguin Museum. The passionate mother of all penguins gathered a unique collection in the world on almost 130 square meters.
