A jump into cold water – and right on New Year's Day: At the New Year's swimming in the "Nordseelagune" in Burhave, brave and curious people start the new year together. Year after year, the event attracts numerous participants and spectators who want to experience this special start to the year.
Whether as a tradition or a one-time challenge, those who dare are rewarded with a real boost of freshness.
The little ones can ring in the new year by building sand castles or baking campfire bread, while the big ones pass the time with a warm drink until the brave ones plunge into the icy water at 3:00 PM. The butcher Gutmann, the German Life Saving Association (DLRG), and the Boy Scouts will provide delicious food and drinks.
