Sankt Peter-Ording

My mother spends three weeks at the North Sea, to be concret at Sankt Peter-Ording. It is famous for surfers, kite surfers, and sand yachting, and there are some clinics to be found there, too. Very crowded is summer but even now there was much ado.

There are still some old houses, but there were build many new ones not as nice as this old one.

In Northern Germany there are wonderful garden doors with big knobs on the posts.

Amber is something that can be found on the beach after storms. I think these come directly from the Baltic coast, it's not easy to find them.

As in most of our touristic places most of the shops sell clothes. Tourists often come with the wrong clothes in their luggage, obviously.

This is on an old house, it says "It might be well for us in our old days."

In the back you see the remains of the old village Sankt Peter. That gray building is part of the church.

These pics are taken in front of the Eiderstedt Museum.

On a small market they sold mustard of different and very tasty kinds. Yummy. With whisky for example. Or chili. Or herbs of the Provence.

In the old days many people at the sea were poor, and Sankt Peter was considered poorhouse of Eiderstedt. The man is catching flatfishes, the woman is hunting shrimps. Those yummy small ones, called Granat (granate) here, because they get red when cooked.
