That Heligoland a German North Sea island which has the reputation of being the only German high seas island with limited geological access, is well known. However, this view is only partly correct, since Heligoland is, strictly speaking, not an offshore island at all from a geological point of view. Likewise, the opinion that there is only one species, Heligoland to reach, simply wrong. Many roads lead to Rome and this old wisdom ultimately also applies to Helgoland.
Islands are mainly reached by ship and this of course also applies to Helgoland, however, the ferry is not the only way to visit Helgoland. Those who appreciate the romance and the calming way of a ferry trip can of course travel to Helgoland from the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg as well as from Cuxhaven / Nordholz, Bremerhaven, Heide / Büsum as well as Wedel. However, a distinction must be made between the different types of boat trip.
For people who are in a particular hurry, the fast ferry from the Free and Hanseatic City is recommended. In the end, the trip takes only 70 minutes, as the pure transport is the main focus of this way. The beauty of the North Sea is more in the subordinate area.
However, people for whom the journey is already an integral part of the trip to Helgoland are more likely to recommend a seafaring ship.
This transport is mainly possible from Cuxhaven / Nordholz and allows the Helgoland visitor to still experience the classic embarkation and disembarkation. The trip with the seaside resort ship takes a little more time, but is many times more comfortable than the trip with the fast ferry.
Although Helgoland is not exactly one of the great Islands of this earth belongs, so crossing by ship is not the only way to get there. Many people simply will not know that the North Sea island also has an airport.
This is especially for visitors to the island who suffer from the much famous seasickness, an extremely useful way to get there. Although the airport on the main island of Helgoland is of course not comparable in size with the large airports of the German metropolises, the visitor can also reach the island by air. Flights to Helgoland as well as back can be booked from Cuxhaven / Nordholz as well as from Heide / Büsum and take place every day.
Be that as it may, unlike some other smaller islands of this earth, there are after all two different ways to get to Helgoland. The place from which the journey to Helgoland is to start is of course decisive here, so that the visitor to Helgoland ideally plans the transport to Helgoland in advance from exactly. Those who want to cross to Helgoland from another North Sea island are of course dependent on the ferry.
Those Helgoland visitors who would like to travel to Helgoland by air should accordingly orient themselves to the two departure points and also plan the journey to these departure points accordingly. When traveling to the departure points, on the other hand, the Helgoland visitor is still extremely flexible, since both Cuxhaven / Nordholz and Heide / Büsum can be easily reached both with their own vehicle and by train.
