Whether it’s a sandy beach, a grassy beach, or a pebble beach, when the waves of the North Sea or the Baltic Sea roll onto the shore and the seagulls screech, it’s time to unwind. For some much-needed activity on vacation, try a bike ride, a canoe trip, or a beginner’s course in sailing or stand-up paddleboarding. When clouds roll in, there are plenty of ways to spend a fun-filled day at our animal and nature parks, in museums, at thermal spas and swimming pools, or at indoor playgrounds. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
