Baltrum Hafen

Baltrum Hafen sits on the smallest of the East Frisian Islands, a quietly charming spot where tides run the show and the pace of life slows right down. You'll need to time your arrival with the tides carefully, but that's part of the deal out here — Baltrum is car-free, and the whole island has that rare, unhurried feel that's hard to find. The island's village and beaches are a short walk from the harbor, and the surrounding Wadden Sea National Park makes this one of the more scenic stretches of the German North Sea coast.
