Hiking

Gannets are exceptionally good fliers and divers. They also attract attention because of their size and coloration. In Germany they only breed on Heligoland and have been since 1991. These pretty seabirds can be observed there every year in their breeding colonies.

Hiking

Here you can get very close to the animals. It is also interesting that the nests are already largely made of plastic. It is worth taking a look there to be able to marvel at something beautiful and at the same time to learn the extent of environmental pollution.
