Nordküste (Felswatt; einschl. Lange Anna), Helgoland, Schleswig-Holstein, Deutschland


Copper mineralizations in sandstones and minerals in vugs of limestones that form the basement of the island. Collecting in this area requires a permit that can be obtained from the local authorities.

Felswatt is a German term for the so-called 'shore platform', a narrow stretch of flat ground at the foot of the cliff that was formed by the action of waves. In fact, most of the north coast of the island is a "Felswatt". The Lange Anna is an isolated sandstone pillar that rises from the shore platform at the northwestern extremity of the island.

Note: The grid reference is centered on the area.
