Flood risk in Boltenhagen: Sturm protection active with sandbags!

in Boltenhagen, Speechwisch district, a flood event ensures concerned minds. Armin Griese's holiday home, the "holiday home on the cliff", is only about 20 meters from the sea. The location of the house in the curve of the dune path makes it particularly susceptible to the moods of the Baltic Sea. Despite the risks, guests appreciate the proximity to the water, even during the often stormy winter months.

The weather conditions of the past few days have been changeable and ranged from mild temperatures to frost and snow. During the storm days at the turn of the year, there were even ebba -like conditions at times. With hundreds of sandbags, the authorities in the Baltic Sea resort of Boltenhagen are active in order to counteract the impending floods. Armin Griese also maintains close contact with the building yard and the volunteer fire brigade, which take measures together during flood warnings.

Volunteer fire and construction workers work hand in hand to ensure the safety of residents and holiday guests.
