A liquid gas terminal is to be built on the holiday island of Rügen, and large tankers are already cruising off the coast. Sightseeing of a by no means peaceful idyll.
So this is supposed to be the secluded beach of Sassnitz. Beneath my bath towel, sand and stone cannot decide who has supremacy; comfort lies between the bed of nails and the concrete slab. In front of me, algae and driftwood prevent the after-work splashing. Behind me, beyond the cliff, the sun says goodbye to the hum of the adjacent fishery.
