Water tower in Cuxhaven, Germany
As the summer mood takes over, we might imagine ourselves lying on the beach or bathing in the sea. Did you know that Cuxhaven has the largest seaside resort in Germany? This city on the North Sea's coast also boasts one of the largest fishing ports in the country.
Cuxhaven not only offers sea and sand, but also endless opportunities for a pleasant holiday. Alongside boat rides or a trip to the marshes, you can also visit historical sites like the water tower in today's picture. The structure was built in 1897 and ensured the city's drinking water supply until 2004. Since 2017, the tower has belonged to a Swiss family who have set up a café there, managing to preserve the essence and identity of the emblematic landmark.
