The winter day is something truly special: over tea and fresh New Year’s cakes, guests experience the winter atmosphere of the captain’s families in the 19th century. In the education room, there is a creative activity for children and adults, allowing everyone to really enjoy the “quiet” time after Christmas.
Immerse yourself in the heyday of sailing ships in the footsteps of the novel “Windiger Siel” by Marie Ulfers (1880-1960), in which the local writer incorporated reports by her father, the captain of the cargo sailing ship ANNA VON CAROLINENSIEL. Enjoy the joys and sorrows of the families of Carolinensiel over a cup of East Frisian tea in the sailors' tavern, and go in search of traces of the Ulfers family in the captain's house.
The record of 182.63 m must be surpassed. Every year on 29 December, we set up the longest FRIESENGEIST Mile around the Museum Harbour. A recurring highlight of a very special kind. Packed closely together with friends and many visitors, people stand cheerfully along the planks around the Museum Harbour. Bring some time with you and then stroll through the winter market or the local restaurants. You can find all information about the schedule [here](https://www.lichtermeer-carolinensiel.de/nordsee-weihnachten-silvester/friesengeistmeile-carolinensiel/).

The event ends at around 1.00 a.m. Sparkling wine, mulled wine and much more are also available at the winter market at the turn of the year. The food huts open on New Year's Eve from 10.00 pm until around 1.00 am. During the day, the winter market is open from 12:00 to 16:00. The hut operators look forward to celebrating the New Year together with guests and locals. Please refrain from private, uncontrolled firecrackers & fireworks in the historic town center, at the water's edge and at best in the entire North Sea resort at the turn of the year. With this appeal, we would like to protect the historic backdrop on the one hand and nature and your general safety on the other. Please help us with this and pass on this wish.
At the start of the New Year's sauna at Cliner Quelle, you can enjoy relaxing hours in the sauna, accompanied by traditional Berliners and a cup of tea.
We begin with a short sound meditation to arrive and leave everyday life behind for a moment. Afterwards, we combine gentle handpan sounds with creative pottery. While the relaxing music accompanies you, you will create a small bowl at your own pace - without pressure to perform and without any expectation of perfection. Simply take the clay in your hands, listen to the sounds, and enjoy the moment. No prior experience is required. This course takes place at Gerhard-Tjarks-Str. 32 in Carolinensiel. The whole event takes place together with Martina Thomas.
Sea Monsters & Turtles Inflatable giant play structures in many bright colors and shapes invite you to play and romp around in the water; there’s a disco rabbit, crazy sea monsters, water turtles, and giant octopuses floating around. Water Globes & Chill-Out Islands The cool Twister islands are perfect for chilling out, the purple running mat can only be conquered with a long run-up and full speed, and in the brightly colored Water Globes, which were made especially for the Pool Party Team No. 1, you can get a rough idea of what it feels like to be a hamster in a wheel, and you can roll across the water in them with ease. Action at the Pool Edge Among those sought are the Hula Hoop Queen and the air-guitar god of the day; there may even be a prize for the king of cannonballs. Be part of the biggest pool party of the year & secure your tickets! *Note: On this day, the water park is open for regular swimming until 3 p.m. only.*

Between the dike, the fresh North Sea air, and a conscious retreat from everyday life, a weekend awaits you that brings body and mind back into harmony. This retreat combines mindful nutrition with a powerful body movement practice - for people who are tired of diet stress and want to feel their bodies again at last, because real change does not come through deprivation or control, but when nutrition, movement, and body awareness are brought back together. During our time together, eating and breathing meditations will accompany you, along with body journeys, intensive movement sessions, and we will look at everything from a scientific perspective. So that you can continue on your path with support after the retreat, there will be an online session two weeks later in which we will recap your experiences together. You will also have the option of being accompanied in the months that follow.
