Built on sand
Beach sailing. Walking. Enjoy culinary delights. Let yourself be pampered. Experience human originals. Being outside...St. Peter-Ording is booming and reinventing itself - without denying its origins as a family seaside resort. More and more people find the place with its fading former charm more exciting than Sylt - rightly so.
From nature to sports events and fun sports, from bike burning to dragon festivals to the wellness experience, from gourmet stations to the best cycling and walking routes, from the history of a small seaside resort to the construction of pile dwellings and the over a kilometre long beach promenade: nothing is left out in this book. And each individual area is enriched with background information on formative personalities (roofers, bathmasters, pile dwellers, conservationists, amber collectors).
Approx. 100 photos show everything: from fun to recreation - plus 15 portraits photographed by Harald Schmitt (6-time World Press Photo Award winner).
