It's an island. Yes, it is. Helgoland in German, Heligoland in English. It's up in the North Sea.
It belongs to Germany, but it has some roots in the Scandinavian countries, too. It's very small and only takes a couple of hours to walk around the whole place. That means it takes longer to get there and back than it does to see it all!
There are some pretty neat things to see - probably the most famous is Long Anna - maybe she should be called LongTall Anna. It's a stone formation off one end of the island and they seem to forever worry that it won't stand after the next storm. But it does. And there are some beaches where you can swim and lots of folks go and camp there in the summer.
Quite frankly, I can't imagine staying there so very long. I think I would get Island Fever. If you don't know what that is, look it up!
Do you think it's worth a trip?
