Helgoland in autumn

Small treasures of nature

Autumn on Helgoland is the best time for a spa or vacation for all those who want to “relax” with leisure on the island. Even in the autumn months, the Oberland with its cliff walk and the dune attract nature lovers and the decelerated to the island. At low tide after a storm, you hike along the north beach of the dune formerly connected to Helgoland, keeping your eyes on the ground. In the process, one searches for fossilized sea urchins, starfish, shells and also amber.

Blown away by the day, guests on Helgoland enjoy egg grog in the evening and have the opportunity to chat with the islanders before returning to the hotel, thus bringing the day to a pleasant close.

Heated sea and a trip to the past

Should the weather be too uncomfortable for walks around the island, a visit to the swimming pool “Mare Frisicum” with its sauna area is a good option. The heated bath with outdoor pool is a practical alternative to the North Sea, which is already quite cool on Helgoland at this time of year. The highlight here is the pool on the roof, which is filled with seawater and has a temperature of over 30 degrees.

Those who would rather learn something about the history of Helgoland will find a lot of information about the high seas island in the museum. Here, guests will especially learn a lot about the life of the former inhabitants. A guided tour of Helgoland’s bunker complex is also worthwhile. 18 meters below ground, one gains a lasting impression of the situation of the inhabitants during the war and the complete destruction of Helgoland in 1945.

Paradise for birdwatchers

Especially for birdwatchers, autumn is a particularly suitable time for a trip to Helgoland. Because during the largest bird migration from August to November, songbirds rest in flocks on the North Sea island during their flight over the sea. Already during the journey with the ferry, so some birdwatchers get into the rapture.

Rare bird species can constantly be discovered and observed on Helgoland. The “Lange Anna” and the Lummenfelsen are absolute hotspots of the main island, because here a large amount of birds cavort in a very small space. Among others, guillemots and gannets stay on Helgoland. A must for autumn vacationers is also the dune, where there are also many grey seals.
