Baltrum, Car-free coastal spa island in Lower Saxony, Germany.
The smallest of the East Frisian Islands stretches 5 kilometers in length and 1.5 kilometers in width, featuring beaches along the North Sea.
The Old Island Church, constructed in 1826, stands as the first permanent building on Baltrum and contains the historical Inselglocke bell.
Houses on the island follow a chronological numbering system instead of street names, reflecting the traditional Frisian architectural approach.
Regular ferry services operate from Neßmersiel throughout the year, with a crossing duration of 30 minutes to reach the island.
The entire island maintains an elevation of only 2 meters above sea level, creating an exceptionally flat landscape within the Wadden Sea.
Location: Lower Saxony
