This family's experience:

Activities: We visited the Heimatmuseum in Keitum. It was a good activity for a rainy afternoon. "Silas war hellauf begeistert von dieser Ehre – zum Glück. Er spielte abwechselnd Baby und stellte erstaunlich intelligente Fragen zu den Exponaten."

Highlights: The children enjoyed the museum, especially the exhibit about knights and the miniature ships. "Der Höhepunkt für Silas waren die Flaschen mit den Miniatur-Schiffen darin." ✨
