※ This video is part of the June 10, 2024 broadcast of <World Theme Travel - House in the Scenery Germany Austria Part 1 Submerged Island Langenes>. Unlike Korea, Germany has only one northern side bordering the sea. There is a mysterious island here that sometimes looks like an island and sometimes like the sea, like a mirage? Let's go meet the unique life on Halligen, an island that submerges during high tide! Halligen, an island that is low and flat, submerged more than ten times a year. Langenes (Langeneß), the largest of the ten Halligen islands along the North Sea coast, has a population of less than a hundred since sailors formed a village in the 17th century. We get a glimpse into their daily lives, helping each other when there is a shortage of workers. The tidal flats are rich in food, and up to 12 million birds fly in and breed here every year. Especially in the spring, black geese stop by every year to stock up on nutrients before their long-distance flight to Siberia, a 'bird paradise'! The number of them reaches thousands, and the rich bird sounds, as if a speaker was turned on, surround the entire island. As I look around the island, a unique sight catches my eye here and there! Houses are all on hills? This is an artificial hill called Warf, which is like an island within an island, and is a unique residential form in Halligen where houses are built on hills to prevent the houses from being submerged in water. We meet the Honke family of four living on one of the only 18 hills left on the island. The only family on the island that raises cows themselves. They say that since there is no market, they have to order groceries from the mainland, so they make and sell cheese and butter themselves. While I was taking good care of the cows with my family and enjoying a short tea time sitting on the hill, I heard the sound of a tractor from somewhere! It was Grandfather Freak, the oldest member of the Honke family who had just returned from a trip to the mainland. After a warm greeting, when a guest comes, the grandfather tells him that there is a place he always shows. It is the treasure trove of the grandfather, the head of Langenhagen, the family museum! It is filled with strange objects that cannot be seen now, and it feels like walking into a fairy tale. Among them, there is one object that particularly catches the eye, a sharpening iron that was commonly used in Korea in the past? Following the history of Langenhagen preserved in various antiques, there is also a school with only three students and a handmade railroad truck that crosses the sea, Lore! Let's take a look at the unique life of the Langenhagen islanders who enjoy living in the harsh natural environment. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - House in the Scenery Germany Austria Part 1 Langenhagen, an Island Submerged in Water ✔ Broadcast date: 2024.06.10 #TVRoboBoRaDunDocumentary #UnimaginableTerritory
