Our latest excursion tips in and around Hamburg
the best macarons in town
Very close to the Zoological Museum Hamburg, a small, almost inconspicuous café is tucked away in the basement. On weekends, Pynk Coffee serves a truly delightful breakfast: fluffy egg drop sandwiches, creamy avocado toast – all prepared with such loving attention to detail. And be sure to order the iced matcha with the cute ice teddy bear. It's worth the visit for that alone. But Pynk is also an absolute highlight during the week. They serve what are probably the most delicious macarons in the city – and I'm telling you: once you've had a bite, you'll never want to eat macarons anywhere else. Baked fresh every day, always new varieties, so much love and attention to detail – you stand there and simply can't decide. You can find more information here:

bouldering gym at Berliner Tor. You can either climb in your own shoes or rent some – sizes 26 to 52 are available. And then the climbing adventure can begin! The spacious bouldering area offers a variety of routes with different difficulty levels, so both beginners and experienced climbers will find something to enjoy. Boulderwelt is a special highlight for families and children: In the lovingly designed children's area, your little ones from the age of 2 can play and climb in a safe environment.

get creative at the porcelain shop
At the
porcelain shop
on Schmuggelstieg, you'll find a huge selection of unpainted ceramics that you can then paint yourself. Whether cups, plates, or figurines, there's something for every age and taste. Your chosen colors and firing the porcelain are already included in the price. And if you've never worked with unpainted ceramics before, don't worry: You'll receive a thorough introduction to the various techniques beforehand, so even beginners can quickly achieve creative success. A visit to Langenhorn is worthwhile even without painting, as there have been several new restaurants and cafes since the beginning of the year. Be sure to stop by and get inspired!
unique nordic charm and a relaxed atmosphere
Anyone who has never visited a North Sea island will instantly fall in love with this special island. Föhr, in Schleswig-Holstein, captivates visitors with its unique Nordic charm, picturesque landscape, and relaxed atmosphere that will help you unwind. Green dikes, miles of sandy beaches, and idyllic villages with historic thatched-roof houses characterize the island's scenery. Strolling through narrow lanes, along the Föhr marshes, or on the Wadden Sea, you'll immediately feel the peace and connection to nature that make a holiday on Föhr so special. Whether it's long days on the beach, bike tours through the marshland, mudflat hikes in the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea, or culinary discoveries in cozy restaurants – the North Sea island of Föhr offers something for everyone. Anyone who has been here quickly understands why Föhr is affectionately known as the "Frisian Caribbean."
