Travel: "We don't want to create a Sylt 2.0 here"
For holidaymakers, Carolinensiel is often just a stopover. The people who live there have a vision for making tourism sustainable for the future. Can the town become a blueprint for this?
Carolinensiel is working to attract more tourists to stay in the town. Many visitors currently pass through on their way to other destinations, such as the island of Wangerooge, which can be reached by ferry from Harlesiel. Those without cars face a difficult journey to Carolinensiel, with 54 bus stops on the K1 line from Norden train station, and the bus often bypasses stops. The town's leaders, including Mayor Rolf Claussen, aim to change this, with the help of architect Alexis Angelis and his partner Frank Reiners.
