Empty beaches and hardly any people at the chic celebrity hotspots: While around a million holidaymakers flock to the island in summer, Sylt goes into hibernation after the turn of the year. Germany's most popular North Sea island is transformed into a rough and icy beauty. You can find this and other documentaries from the North Sea Report in the ARD Mediathek: https://www.ardmediathek.de/sendung/n... Presenter Britta von Lucke explores Sylt in the quiet winter time. Frozen natural landscapes and romantic island towns that now belong to the locals. How do they actually use this time out? Breathe deeply and recharge their batteries, but also work hard so that everything is ready again for the start of the holidays in spring. Britta von Lucke is on the road with beach wood artist Bo Janssen and is shown how the thatch gets onto the beautiful Frisian houses. Also in the North Sea Report: An island ranger and her first winter job in the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site. A pastor who looks after her congregation's flock during the quiet season. And a flower fairy who brings colorful splashes of color to the island during the gray season. More: https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendunge... First broadcast: January 28, 2024 #ndr #winter #sylt
