Tradition & nature
In the north of Schleswig-Holstein, with the North Frisians, everything’s different. They have their own language, traditions and customs. They celebrate their favourite old festivals – such as the Biiken on St. Peter’s Day and the ring jousting in summer – and the Frisian women are often seen in their gorgeous traditional costume.
February 2010 ‘Biikebrennen’ in North Frisia
An ancient tradition. On this day, the bright fires on the islands, Halligen and coasts can be seen from far out to sea.
March 2010 Crocus Blossom Festival
Each year, the grounds of the castle near Husum are transformed into a purple sea of blossom from the crocuses which bring in the spring in the stormy city.

Huge flocks of brent geese on the lush Hallig fields and numerous events related to the brent goose.
