The Priwall in Travemünde is only three kilometers long and is home to one of the largest tourism projects in northern Germany: the BeachBay. Almost 500,000 overnight stays are counted on the small peninsula every year. It gets tight when tourists flock to the Priwall in summer, most of them arriving by ferry. You can also find more documentaries in the ARD Mediathek: https://www.ardmediathek.de/dokus Restaurant owner Andrea Grube-Przybyl has to take the ferry to the other side of the Trave to go shopping and hopes every time that she doesn't get stuck in a traffic jam. She needs all her time to keep her Seglermesse restaurant running. To survive, she has to attract new guests. To do this, she is always on the lookout for new attractions and is planning, for example, a performance by a shanty choir to attract visitors to her restaurant. There is a lot of competition in the catering industry on the Priwall, but Andrea never gives up. Harbor master Tim Fladung cannot complain about a lack of interest. On the contrary, the 500 berths in Passathafen are quickly taken. Then he has to improvise. The same applies when he suddenly has to pull a sailing boat with engine failure out of the water so that it can be repaired and continue its trip. The harbor master as a savior in times of need. 150 arrivals in six hours: It gets stressful for the holiday park crew around Nicole Lampe when guests leave at 10 a.m. and the next ones want to get back to their cleaned houses and apartments by 4 p.m. And if something breaks or a lot of guests are stuck in traffic, it gets really hectic in the evenings too. Until the border was opened in 1989, Priwall was an almost untouched natural paradise. With the construction of BeachBay, tourists came in droves. Now conservationists like Matthias Braun have to look after not only the birds on Priwall, but also the tourists. Special offers such as guided tours for families are intended to help direct the flow of tourists and raise people's awareness of nature conservation. Will this succeed?
