Pellworm, the green island between high and low tides
the ferry reached the Ascended to Seeheilbad Frisian Islands Pellworm, see the newcomers nothing – except a green dike, is maintained by woolly lawnmowers, the sheep. but they have climbed the eight-meter, they realize, Why: The marshes Island is located 60 to 120 cm below the sea. The dike to protect against storm surges 26,4 Kilometers long and surrounds 13 Køge, were wrested from the North Sea and made arable. On him, partly in front of and behind him can turn his rounds, on foot or by bike.
On the dike are beach chairs to relaxOn Pellworm there is hardly built-up areas. The large farms are, often alone, on high mounds and provide locals and visitors with island own products. In memory of a sure the "island milk" remains with 5,5 Percent fat content, which is "exported" even to the mainland. One verkoste also plenty of the "Pellwormer storm surge", the refined with vodka and lemon milk, 2 cl for three euros. So you can brag, how many floods they had survived.
From the time before the big storm surges in the years 1362 and 1634 told the Island Museum: The exhibited pots, mugs, Urns can still be found in the Wadden. They testify to the port city of Rungholt, which fell victim to the "Blanken Hans". each visitor is allowed to take one as a souvenir to take home from the baskets with the fragments of pottery.

The ruined tower of the ancient church is preserved as a landmark Pellworm
Beautifully the brick church is St. Salvator (1096), called Old Church – the new one is so new not, namely 1529 -, with the most precious Arp Schnitger organ of Schleswig-Holstein. Unusually a towel rack next to the baptismal font and outside the ruins of the Tower of 1839. Through the holes in the apse patients had been listening from outside the sermon. Every Wednesday there's an organ concert by candlelight. Power the Old Church does not know. Of yore 14 sunken today windmills on Pellworm is only the Nordermuhle from the 17. century, which became the Café.
In addition to tea punch – Swivel tea bags once in hot water and fill with "Geele Kom" – you learn to know the Pellworm Frisian Roulette: The cars – Buses, incidentally, take the biodiesel rapeseed oil – lawn around the curves, without paying attention to oncoming traffic – yesterday was indeed none! We also know for a stay in Pellworm, what is a "Möwenschiss" and as a "Hot Virgin" is a "gentle angel". But that should explore every man for himself on site.
