Following the footsteps of Otto Kemmerich
100 years ago, the adventurer Otto Kemmerich swam from Husum to Sylt. He was traveling unaccompanied and orientated himself using a compass and a map, which he rolled up in a jam jar. Later, Kemmerich polarized people when he competed in a long-distance swim against a Californian sea lion named Leo at the Busch Circus in Hamburg – and actually swam for eight hours longer.
From island to island
Now I’m following his footsteps in the magnificent nature of the North Frisian Wadden Sea and would like to swim the Wadden Odyssey to mark the anniversary. The route leads from Husum over the Halligen Islands to Amrum and ends with the most difficult stage: through the dangerous “Vortrapptief” between Amrum & Sylt. Kemmerich failed on this route in 1924 – and died there on his second attempt in 1952. Since then, no one has crossed this channel by swimming.
The ROUTE
From the water into the pub - YOU CAN JOIN!
Together with the musicians Tony Kaltenberg and Carsten Hormes, who already organized the “Concert & Ocean” event with me in June 2023, we will perform every evening in a pub on the islands (see map below). Of course I will report on the experiences of the day but also talk about my experiences with the Ocean’s Seven, the swim to Helgoland or the failure in the Seychelles. The whole event is always accompanied by live music, so that the audience has a unique experience and can immerse themselves in what is being told.
