An attempt to remap Europe and claim back the lost territories of the North Sea
Butjadingen
During one of the warmer weekends in early August, we took a day trip to the peninsula of Butjadingen, between the Jade and Weser estuaries. I’d been interested to go there for some time, as I was taken by the way it looks on maps, criss-crossed by thousands of small drainage canals.
Hooksiel
Since the beginning of April, we’ve been staying in Wilhelmshaven, near the harbour. Last Wednesday, as sun was forecast at about the time of high tide, we took an afternoon off and went to the nearest beach at Hooksiel.
