Baltic Coast - Ostsee Tour

08/08/2024

Bremerhaven was the busiest port for emigrants leaving Europe between 1830 and 1874. The Deutsches Auswandererhaus is an award-winning experiential museum with an average of 180,000 visitors per year, making it one of the most visited museums in Germany. It not only portrays the emigration flow overseas but also 330 years of immigration history to Germany.

At the entrance, visitors will receive a boarding pass with which they can listen to real-life stories at audio stations. The museum tour is a journey through time from 1870 to the 1920s with lots of replicas, real documents, and amazing expositions. Visitors get the full experience from the Norddeutscher Lloyd departure waiting hall, the passage on typical emigrant ships, arriving at the Ellis Island US immigration station and finally the Grand Central Terminal in New York.

You can experience this extraordinary museum at the Hanseatic Pearls eco-cultural tour from October 2 – 11, 2024! This is a unique, private roundtrip from/to Hamburg for max. 8 persons. Registration closes on August 31, 2024, as rooms cannot be guaranteed after that. Details & Reservations: https://www.accessecotours.com/hanseatic-pearls-tour/

There is only one part of Hamburg that you cannot reach by public transportation, car, or bike.

It’s Neuwerk - an island located 120 km (75 miles) from Hamburg which belongs to the city. From the coast, it’s only 15 km (10 miles) out in the North Sea and you can reach it by horseback, horse carriage, or walking. Neuwerk is part of the Wadden Sea Natural Reserve also.

While Neuwerk was strategically important in the medieval to fend off pirates and as a marine port, today it almost entirely serves as a wildlife habitat and tourist destination. Neuwerk’s est. 21-25 inhabitants occupy a surface of ca. 2 x 2 km (ca. 1.5 x 1.5 miles). The lighthouse, finished in 1310, accommodates visitors today.

Join us for the unique Hanseatic Pearls eco-cultural tour and experience a carriage ride through the Wadden Sea Biosphere Reserve to the island! Details & Reservations: https://www.accessecotours.com/hanseatic-pearls-tour/

You’ll be surprised about how much you can do on the island of Rügen in October. Rügen in the autumn offers a mix of natural beauty, cultural experiences, and a peaceful ambiance with fewer tourists. The island's beech forests with their vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues create a picturesque landscape, and spectacular views are possible from the panoramic tower at the Granitz Hunting Lodge, a 19th-century castle located within a biosphere reserve. It’s also the start of the Baltic amber season when the ocean conditions change and facilitate washing more of these precious fossils ashore.

And hey, maybe you are lucky and take one home when you join the Hanseatic Pearls roundtrip – an eco-cultural tour along the two coastlines of Germany!

October 2 – 11, 2024 from/to Hamburg. The Early Bird price of $2,060 ends this Sunday, 6/30/24. Info & Reservation: https://www.accessecotours.com/hanseatic-pearls-tour/

Did you know that the Speicherstadt in Hamburg, built between 1883 and 1927, is the largest warehouse district in the world? And that the interconnected brick buildings sit on oak pile foundations? The Speicherstadt is crisscrossed by a network of narrow canals reminiscent of Venice, earning it the nickname "Venice of the North."

Only in 2015, this remarkable architectural masterpiece with its unique blend of Gothic Revival and neo-Renaissance styles was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A bustling hub of international trade in the Hanseatic days, the Speicherstadt now is a vibrant cultural landmark, housing museums, theaters, cafes, and shops; attracting visitors from around the world.

The Maya predicted chaos before our next step in evolution, and with this larger perspective in mind it's so much easier to deal with the craziness these days!

I wonder how many times I'll be forced to re-schedule my flight because of changes made by the airlines. But as of today I'm flying :)

I'm sorry to say that I'm cancelling the Wadden Sea and Baltic Sea Tours though.

Who would have thought what happened to International travel over the past two months?!

Per their website, the Stoertebeker Festival seems to be playing on their Open Air site, and I am going to be in Germany in July too - but I have the feeling that I'll be cancelling this exciting tour over the next few days, unless a group of min. 5-6 travelers want to experience this Baltic Coast Tour.

Let's cut it on June 7, 2020!

As we all know, everything has a chocolate-side, right? So does the COVID19 hype:

The history of this project is so interesting - come join us in July 2020!

Would you have guessed that a beachfront resort on the prestigious coastline of the island Rügen had such a dark side to it? There are still many Germans who are not familiar with its history. I am a born German and it took me until probably just a year ago! In 1936, the N**i organization
