An attempt to remap Europe and claim back the lost territories of the North Sea
Eiderstedt
A day later, we used the hire car and drove to Eiderstedt. We had been here once before, as we’d planned to move to Tönning when circumstances changed and we ended up in Bremen.

The campsite was on the southern side of the island facing the mainland. The terrain was flat, and as it neared the Wadden Sea, it became marshy. A fence prevented us from getting close to the water.
