Beach chairs on Steinwarder in Heiligenhafen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

Did you know that the first beach chairs were developed in the 19th century to protect against the fine sand and wind?

Beach chairs have a special charm even in stormy weather, as in the picture today in front of the pier on Steinwarder in Heiligenhafen, Germany.

Steinwarder, a picturesque peninsula, was originally only connected to the mainland by salt marshes and the Eichholz lowlands.

Today, it is a paradise for vacationers seeking peace and nature.
