  • Greek Restaurant Willingen – Kreta

    Greek restaurant Kreta in Willingen is one of the restaurants in this cosy town. Our personal experiences with this Greek restaurant in Willingen. Do we recommend this Greek restaurant in Willingen?

    Greek Restaurant Kreta Willingen (Upland)

    In the small town of Willingen, most of it is devoted to tourism. In high season, two-thirds of the people staying in Willingen are tourists. The permanent residents of Willingen are severely outnumbered during this period. This means that there are sufficient facilities, which are focused on tourism. Think about winter sports, go-karting, bowling, archery, 3D golf, a mega mountain bike course. In addition, there are of course the necessary restaurants including restaurant Kreta, Greek Restaurant Willingen. We have been coming to Willingen for several years, and had the idea to eat at Greek restaurant Kreta, but it never happened before. Until this year then. On our last visit to Willingen we reserved a table in Kreta.

    Preliminary research : reviews

    Curious as I am, I always look for experiences from people before I go somewhere I’ve never been before, including Kreta, Greek Restaurant Willingen. I’ve read quite a few reviews, after which I didn’t quite know what to think of this restaurant anymore. There were experiences of people who had eaten deliciously and went back more often, but there were also experiences of people where the food was cold on the table, or that they had to wait a very long time. After reading the reviews I went in blank.

    Kreta, Greek Restaurant Willingen our experience

    Let me start by saying that my experience with Greek restaurant Kreta in Willingen is not entirely complete. This is because little could be done about winter sports this year due to the high temperatures and rain, and therefore lack of snow. As a result, many people have been looking for a different place for their winter sports holiday. As a result, the restaurant in Willingen was perhaps just half full that night. We did not see Greek restaurant Kreta running at full capacity.

    Location:
    Restaurant Kreta Willingen is located along the main road, Briloner Straße. For people who know Willingen, it is a few minutes’ walk from the Lidl and Rewe supermarkets. The entrance to this Greek restaurant in Willingen is downstairs. Stairs take you to the restaurant upstairs. There is no lift, so if you have difficulty walking you better take this into account.

    Furnishings:
    Greek restaurant Kreta is narrow and elongated. It is Greek, but if you compare it to Greek restaurants in the Netherlands, restaurant Kreta is less cosy. We were seated at a round table in the far right corner at the window.

    Staff:
    There were not many service staff, this will probably have to do with the number of customers that evening. The owner himself was actually the entire service staff. We were kindly helped, after which the drinks were quickly on the table.

    Menu:
    The menu of Greek Restaurant Kreta Willingen can largely be compared to the menu in Greek restaurants in the Netherlands. One difference is that in the Netherlands there is more choice of dishes with more types of meat.

    Salad bar:
    We started with a visit to the salad bar. After we had finished this, the appetizers were brought to us. I had fried goat’s cheese in advance, which was really tasty. It was really cheese as it is, without too many bells and whistles, as it should be. The appetizer was a success for all of us!

    Main course:
    We are quite big eaters, and the main course at this Greek restaurant in Willingen was certainly enough for us. Meat, Tzatziki, rice, potatoes, salad, it was all there. The food was delicious again. What I personally noticed about the food at Gries restaurant Kreta is that it does not all have a uniform taste. At many Greek restaurants, certain herbs predominate in a dish. In our dishes at Kreta Willingen you really tasted the difference between the different kinds of meat. Also it was certainly not too salty, or prepared too much with garlic or herbs. After a visit to a Greek restaurant you are often very thirsty. After our visit to this Greek restaurant in Willingen that was not the case at all. Once again we were very pleasantly surprised, and had a great meal at Kreta, Greek Restaurant Willingen.

    Dessert:
    I had eaten enough and ordered coffee, which was very tasty by the way. Someone else in our company ordered a kind of chocolate cake. This was a setback. It looked more like a kind of rye bread soaked in honey and chocolate. If you like it it will be quite tasty, for us it was a disappointment. But that is our personal taste.

    Our experiences summarized

    I have to say that we had a really good meal at the Greek restaurant in Kreta. We do not recognise ourselves in people’s negative experiences. What you experience is, of course, a snapshot, so perhaps if we had been on another day we would have experienced it differently. We have been well, friendly and helped quickly. The prices of the dishes at this Greek restaurant in Willingen are also okay. We really only have good memories and a well-filled stomach left over from our visit to Greek Restaurant Kreta. It should be added that the restaurant was far from full, so it did not run at full capacity.

    Kreta, Greek Restaurant Willingen is certainly a must as far as we are concerned.

    You can find restaurant Kreta at Briloner Straße 62, 34508 Willingen (Upland).

  • Dangers of swimming in the North Sea

    Dangers of swimming in the North Sea – The Dutch Coast

    North Sea dangerous? North Sea most dangerous sea?
    Every year, many people get into trouble in the North Sea. Especially the dangerous currents along the coast cause people to drown every year. With this knowledge you can safely enjoy the sea.

    Summer has really started and many people are looking for a cool sea. Besides the local beach visitors, many people from other parts of the Netherlands come to the sea for a day, not to mention holidaymakers from home and abroad. It is striking that mainly people who did not grow up by the sea, are not aware of the dangers of the North Sea. It often happens that parents let their children play in the sea unsupervised. The dangers of the North Sea are often underestimated. Swimming in the North Sea is not comparable to swimming in a lake or river. When you take a dive in the North Sea, it is wise to know what the dangers are.

    Jump directly to your topic

    Don’t go too deep into the North Sea

    When you seek cooling in the sea, it is wise never to go too deep. If you do decide to go further into the sea, don’t go alone. Swimming in the North Sea can definitely not be compared to swimming in a clear sea, where it looks like lying in an aquarium.

    Never let children play alone in the sea. Make sure there is always supervision. Children can easily be overthrown by waves and pulled along by the strong currents in the North Sea. This is because the North Sea has dangerous and strong currents that cause problems for many people every year. Besides the question whether children can swim well enough and long enough, hypothermia and panic can cause serious problems. The latter also applies to adults.

    Currents at the Dutch Coast

    The North Sea on the Dutch coast has treacherous currents. It can certainly happen that you are swimming, and without you noticing it the current takes you deeper into the sea. Many people who are taken by the current into the sea, try to swim back to the beach against the current. This is dangerous because swimming against the current takes a lot of energy, while you will probably still be dragged deeper into the North Sea by the current. In that case, exhaustion is often the cause of drowning.

    Children playing in the waves can also be overthrown and dragged along by the current. The children then panic which results in dangerous situations. The North Sea is quite dangerous, especially close to the coast.

    What do you do when you are pulled along by the current?

    When you are pulled along by the current it is the best choice to just let yourself be carried further out into the sea. At some point the current will decrease after which you can swim left or right out of the current. That is the moment to swim diagonally back to the beach. Keep an eye on the current of the North Sea. If you notice that you are pulled back into the sea, let yourself be carried back into the sea and leave the current on the side when it decreases.

    Muien

    Currents are always present in the sea, but many of the stronger, unexpected currents are often caused by muien. These muien, among others, make the North Sea a dangerous sea.

    The sea is not equally deep everywhere. There are sandbanks under water. Between these sandbanks there are deeper channels through which the water flows faster, especially at low tide. When the water flows back to the sea, the current in a mui is soon too strong to swim against it. As mentioned above, it is important that in that case you do not panic but let the current carry you along to the sea, until you can swim out of the current. Muien in the North Sea are dangerous because you are pulled straight to the sea by the current.

    Zwinnen

    Many people are less familiar with zwinnen than muien. They look like muien, with the difference that they are parallel to the coast and that they are at right angles to the coast. When the water retreats, the water from the zwinnen flows back to the sea via the muien. So zwinnen can also be dangerous because they lead you to muien.
    It may well be that you are pulled along by the current, but that you also float parallel to the coast and a little later straight into the sea.

    Offshore wind and the upper current

    When the wind blows from land into the sea, you speak of a ‘offshore wind’. The danger of a offshore wind is in the upper current of the seawater. For example, look at a lake when the wind is strong. You will then see waves on the lake that move with the wind. The same happens at sea. When there is a offshore wind the wind pulls the water on the surface towards the sea. The harder the wind blows, the harder the water is pulled along by the wind. The current created on the surface is called the upper current. The dangerous thing about a offshore wind is that you are pulled along by the current towards the sea, especially when you are lying on an air mattress or other floating object. A strong upper current in the North Sea is certainly dangerous. This comes on top of the danger of the muien, zwinnen, Zoper and undertow.

    When you are pulled along by the upstream stream towards the sea, the same applies again as indicated above. When you notice that the upper current is too strong to swim against it, it is safest to let yourself be carried deeper into the sea. Swimming against a too strong upper current will cause you to become exhausted and you will get further into trouble. So let yourself be carried away to the sea and try to attract people’s attention. Do not panic. You can also look around you to try to discover a sandbank where you can swim to. Further on in this article you will read how to recognize shallow water in the sea by the waves.

    Onshore wind and undercurrent

    A offshore wind is therefore dangerous, but a onshore wind, in which the wind blows from the sea to the coast, is certainly no less dangerous. A strong onshore wind creates a strong undercurrent. So what is so dangerous about the North Sea with a onshore wind?

    With a onshore wind, the North Sea water is pulled along at the surface towards the coast by the wind. You would say that this does not make the North Sea dangerous, because the upper current goes towards the coast, and thus takes you to the beach. It is true that the upstream goes towards the coast, but all that extra water that is blown hard to the coast in the upstream has to go back into the sea. All that water goes back into the sea via the bottom. This means that the North Sea water on the surface flows to the coast, and that the water underneath flows off the coast. Because a lot of extra water is brought to the beach, which also has to go back into the sea, you get a strong undercurrent off the coast.

    The danger of an undercurrent is mainly for children and the elderly, but anyone can get into trouble because of it. The seawater pulls you upstream towards the coast, while at the same time the undertow pulls you down towards the sea. Especially in the surf you can easily be pulled over and go under.
    It is therefore not wise to go deeper into the North Sea than your knees in a strong onshore wind.

    Zoper [slanting wind from sea]

    Of course, the wind does not always blow straight into the sea or straight to shore. The wind often comes from the sea diagonally towards the coast. So-called Zopers can also make the North Sea really dangerous. In a Zoper, the water flows parallel to the coastline. Swimming against the current is usually very heavy or impossible. This can reinforce the effect of the dangerous flow of the muien and zwinnen as described above. When you end up in a Zoper, let yourself be carried away by the sea until the current decreases. Try to swim diagonally back to the coast from there. Do not panic. When you don’t come back to the coast, try to attract people’s attention on a stretch where the current is less strong, or look for a shallow stretch in the sea (sandbank).

    Airbeds

    Airbeds, straps and other floating material is of course delicious to use in the sea, but it also brings with it an extra danger. You drift easily, especially when there is a offshore wind. It is hard work to get back to the coast on your own. There is also a chance that you will have to be taken back to the beach by the rescue team.

    What do you do when you see that someone is in danger in the North Sea?

    Imagine you’re sitting on the beach or you’re walking and you see someone in the North Sea who is in danger. Then don’t wait to see if that person is waving at an acquaintance or friend on the beach. If someone is really in danger, or if you immediately see that something is wrong, warn the rescue team immediately. If a post from the rescue team is not very close, don’t hesitate to call 112. State exactly where you stand. Usually there are poles on the beach that you can recognize, the number of the beach strike (passage from the dunes to the beach), or the name of the nearest beach club. Through the emergency center 112 the rescue team will be alerted. Stay where you saw the person who is in danger in the North Sea, in order to immediately send the emergency service in the right direction.

    Many people who get into trouble are day trippers who don’t know how dangerous the North Sea is.

    Beach flags for information

    Along the entire Dutch coast where day trippers come to the beach, rescue brigade posts can be found. At these rescue brigade posts, beach flags indicate whether you can safely enter the sea, and what the dangers of the North Sea are at that time. The flags used are the same in all countries.

    • Orange windbag : You are allowed to go into the sea, but it is forbidden to use floating objects such as air mattresses, pneumatic tires etc. This because of the danger of drifting towards the sea for one of the reasons mentioned above.
    • Yellow flag : Swimming in the North Sea is not recommended because it is dangerous, but it is not yet forbidden. So be careful. Floating objects are forbidden in the sea.
    • Red flag : A red flag on the beach means that you are not allowed in the sea. It is too dangerous to swim!
    • Red-yellow flag : If you see a flag that is red at the top and yellow at the bottom, it means that you are on a beach where lifeguards are watching you. It is forbidden to do water sports here. Although you have to think of your own safety when you go into the North Sea, you will also be watched by the lifeguards, which makes you feel safe.
    • Black and white checkered flag : In the zone delimited by black and white checkered flags, you are allowed to practice water sports. Of course, this only applies to the water sports that are allowed. For swimmers it is a bit of a caution here, perhaps you should move to an area marked by red-yellow flags.

    How to recognize shallow water from the shore

    From the beach you can guess where the dangerous muien and zwinnen are in the North Sea.

    When you stand on the beach you can recognize shallow water if you know what to pay attention to. From the beach you can already see where sandbanks are under water and where the water is shallow and where the seawater is deeper. From the beach you can already make a small estimation where the muien and zwinnen are.

    Shallower stretches can be recognized by the turning of the waves, so the white heads of foam. Often you see waves turning on a certain part of the sea, this is the shallower part. This is where you should be able to stand.

    When you follow waves from that point towards the coast, you will often see that the waves get higher but don’t turn, which indicates a deeper part in the sea. Recognizing shallow water can certainly be important if you swim in the sea and get into trouble. You can then try to swim to that shallower part so you can stand up.

    Jellyfish in the North Sea

    You will encounter jellyfish in every sea, including the North Sea. Day trippers who do not come from the coastal region often wonder whether there are dangerous jellyfish in the North Sea.

    The North Sea is popular with jellyfish. This is due to the favourable living environment for the jellyfish. There are days when the presence of jellyfish in the seawater can ruin your day at the beach. Especially with a offshore wind, so when the wind blows from land into the sea, the chance of jellyfish is higher. When the wind comes from land, the undercurrent in the sea towards the shore will become stronger, and jellyfish can take to the shore.

    Do you have to worry about jellyfish in the North Sea?
    Are there dangerous jellyfish living in the North Sea? In principle, the jellyfish in the North Sea are not dangerous. They can be very annoying. When you are stung by a jellyfish (also known as a jellyfish bite), it can cause a lot of itching and pain.

    What to do when you are stung by a jellyfish
    You’re nice in the sea, and suddenly you feel an annoying feeling….. you’ve come into contact with the poisonous tentacles of a jellyfish. As long as you’re not allergic to jellyfish bites, you don’t have to worry. It is only annoying then. If you are allergic, a jellyfish bite can be dangerous.

    Treatment jellyfish bite

    Treatment jellyfish bite:

    • Rinse the spot where you were stabbed well with seawater. Do NOT use fresh water.
    • Do not scratch or rub, this will make the problem worse.
    • See if there are any tentacle remains attached to the skin. Carefully remove them with gloves or tweezers.
    • Against the itching you can use the same remedy as you use against the itching of insect bites.
    • If you get headaches, respiratory problems, shortness of breath or vomiting, this may indicate an allergic reaction. In that case it is important to seek medical help immediately.

    Lesser weever – poisonous fish North Sea

    It is not common knowledge, but also in the North Sea lives a poisonous fish, the ‘lesser weever’. The lesser weever normally lives in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. This very poisonous fish also occurs naturally in the North Sea. Due to the warming of the seawater, the poisonous weever is becoming more common on the Dutch and Belgian coasts in the North Sea.

    The lesser weever lives close to the beach in shallow water and on sandbanks, so exactly where people walk in the sea. Here the fish digs in, in the sand. If you accidentally stand on the weever, he will use the poisonous spines on his dorsal fin to defend himself. Not a nice idea, especially if you know that the weever is one of the most poisonous fish in Europe.

    Treatment stitch of the lesser weever

    The lesser weever is actually the most dangerous fish in the North Sea, at least near the Dutch and Belgian sea coast. What do you do when you are stung by a poisonous lesser weever.

    When you have been stung by this poisonous fish, you can expect severe and burning pain. A sting by the lesser weever is in principle not lethal but mostly very painful. Always see a doctor in case you have an allergic reaction.
    If you don’t treat the sting, the pain can spread and last for weeks.

    The poison of the lesser weever is thermolabile. This means that it breaks down quickly when exposed to higher temperatures. The best treatment is to heat the spot where you were stabbed as quickly as possible to a temperature above 40 degrees Celsius, and keep doing this for at least 15 minutes.

    Enjoy the sea but make sure you are familiar with the dangers of the sea. Never let children play alone in the sea. The North Sea has dangerous currents that can really get you into trouble, but is the North Sea the most dangerous sea? Every sea has its own dangers, at the North Sea it is the dangerous currents. The North Sea is certainly not the most dangerous sea if you know what you are doing.

  • Surgeonfish dangerous?

    The surgeonfish can be found in many seas. It is a very recognisable fish. In the Red Sea, the red sea surgeonfish can be found. Is a surgeonfish dangerous? No, certainly not… but they can and will defend themselves when necessary.

    When you snorkel on coral reefs in the Red Sea, you will certainly meet surgeonfish. Here it will often be the Red Sea surgeonfish. The Red Sea surgeonfish is said to be the most aggressive surgeonfish. This surgeonfish can reach a length of 30 centimetres, and is easily recognisable by its flat body and horizontal blue/black stripes. The surgeonfish looks a bit strange with its flat body, and can also be recognized by its way of swimming. The surgeonfish is fast and agile.

    Bristles:
    The surgeonfish, and therefore also the red sea surgeonfish, has spines at the base of the tail. These spines are only used by the surgeonfish to defend itself against other species, but also when it feels threatened. Leave surgeonfish alone, and there is no problem at all. They can approach you out of curiosity, but that’s all. If they feel threatened by you, because you chase them or bother them, then they will flee. Only in extreme distress will they choose the attack, so that won’t happen any time soon.
    So enjoy the beautiful underwater world, and also the surgeonfish, but respect the animals and keep a proper distance!

  • Subtropical swimming pool Willingen

    Subtropical swimming pool Willingen : If you are in the town of Willingen, and you want to spend a day relaxing and/or having fun with the children, a visit to the subtropical swimming pool Willingen (Lagunen Erlebnisbad) can be a very nice option. The Willingen subtropical swimming pool has more to offer than just standard pools.

    Jump directly to your topic:

    Subtropical swimming pool Willingen information and experiences

    During our stay in Willingen, we always make time for the children to enjoy themselves and have fun in the subtropical swimming pool Willingen. By the way, the official name is Lagunen Erlebnisbad. The pool is not very big, but it has enough to offer for young and old.
    Children can have fun in the pools, and on the slides of this pool Willingen. Parents can also use the sauna. A very large ‘hot tub’, as we usually call it in the Netherlands, is also available.

    The Willingen subtropical swimming pool has approximately 1,200 m² of water surface area.

    For access to the pool, the closets and the sauna, pool Willingen has found a very nice solution. More about this in this article.

    Swimming pool Willingen

    Children’s pool:
    The Lagunen Erlebnisbad has a children’s pool for the little ones. Here the children can play safely, under the supervision of their parents.

    Swimming pools:
    When you enter the subtropical swimming pool Willingen, you will find two larger pools. Both pools also have an outdoor area. You can swim from the inside out. The pools are about the same shape and size. The difference between these pools is mainly the water temperature. When you enter Willingen pool from the changing rooms / showers, the water temperature of the pool you first encounter is a lot colder than the pool just behind it. This is why the first pool in Willingen is often a bit calmer.

    Bubble bath:
    Next to the first pool, where you can go outside, there is a fairly large round whirlpool. Because of the size of the pool, you’ll soon find a lot of people in it, but because it’s so big and round you won’t get in each other’s way. There’s plenty of room to have a nice bubble in this wonderfully warm bath.

    Swimming pool Willingen: slides

    The subtropical swimming pool Willingen has three slides in a separate section. These are two closed slides, and a wide, more spectacular slide.

    The two closed slides can in principle be used by everyone. They differ mainly in length.

    The third slide in this subtropical swimming pool Willingen may be the shortest, but for many also the cutest. This is a slide that you also see a lot of parents coming off.

    The slide is wide and makes twice a kind of wave movement. When you lie down you go down really fast. At the bottom of the slide you end up in a shallow pool. Around this pool are transparent plastic walls, and they are there for a reason. When you land at high speed at the bottom of the slide, and do it the right way, you cause a huge tidal wave. People who stay too long at the bottom of this slide will get a wall of water over them.

    Pay attention to the children with this slide…. If you are lying or sitting down, then the slide is just fun. But … we’ve seen more often children on their knees, or on their stomachs with their head down first, and on the way down or down the slide they really regret it. So keep to the rules on this slide: sit or lie with your feet first.

    Pool Willingen: Sauna

    In the Lagunen Erlebnisbad there is also a sauna. This is included in the price. You can only enter the sauna, with your strap that also opens and closes your closet. This prevents curious people from walking in and out all the time. The sauna of subtropical swimming pool Willingen is without swimwear.

    Swimming pool Willingen: band, closet and sauna access

    At the subtropical swimming pool Willingen they do have a nice system for the closets and sauna. Also, with this system control the time you spend in the Lagunen Erlebnisbad.

    Closets:
    When you want to enter the pool Willingen, you get a plastic coin. You have to keep this coin well, because if you lose it it will cost you € 5,00.

    After you’ve changed, put this coin on the outside of a closet in the slot provided. When your clothes are in the locker, close the door and lock it. When you lock your closet, the coin gets stuck in a strap that you can put around your wrist. This band indicates the number of your closet. The coin is safe on your wrist. If you want to use the sauna of swimming pool Willingen, you need this coin.

    When you want to open your locker again, put the coin that is still attached to the strap, back into the slot in the door, and open the door. This will keep the strap in the door, and the coin will come loose again. Ideal, so you’ll never have problems because you don’t happen to have 50 cents with you, which you do need in many swimming pools.

    You’ll also need the coin to leave the Willingen pool. You can only get out using this coin. Without this coin the gate at the exit will not work.

    Sauna access:
    You also need the same coin to enter the sauna room. To enter from the pool into the sauna of pool Willingen, you have to go through a fence. This gate only opens when you have your coin scanned.

    Entrance fees and times

    Tickets for this subtropical swimming pool Willingen are for sale for certain times, or you can buy a day ticket. You can choose to access the Willingen swimming pool for 1,5 or 2,5 hours. You can also choose to buy a day ticket. When entering for a certain time (1,5 / 2,5 hours), keep in mind that you have to go out on time.

    If you’re staying in a hotel in Willingen, you’ll often receive a Sauerland Card at check-in. This Sauerland Card gives discounts on a lot of things in and around Willingen. It also gives you a discount on the entrance fee to the subtropical swimming pool in Willingen.

    The current prices of the Willingen subtropical swimming pool can be found here on the website of the Lagunen Erlebnisbad.

    Opening hours:
    Before you go to the Willingen pool, you should check the opening hours on the website of the Lagunen Erlebnisbad to see if there is free swimming.

    Supervision in the subtropical swimming pool Willingen

    What strikes me personally every time, is that the supervision of lifeguards is a bit sparse. The last time we were there it was really bad weather outside, so it was very crowded in the pool. Once in a while we saw one lifeguard, which in my opinion is not that bad. So keep an eye on your children.

    Parking and access pool

    The Willingen subtropical swimming pool is located to the left of the ski slopes, and under the Wild- und Freizeitpark. In front of the door is basically free parking space enough. Only when the winter months are very busy with skiers, it is possible to look for a parking space.

    The Willingen subtropical swimming pool is a few minutes’ walk from the large Sauerland Stern Hotel. For guests of this hotel there is a kind of tunnel that runs all the way from the Sauerland Stern Hotel to the Lagunen Erlebnisbad. So you can walk straight from the lobby of your hotel, without your coat, to the Willingen swimming pool.

    Our opinion of Lagunen Erlebnisbad

    As said, the pool is not huge, but certainly big enough to entertain you. Especially when you’re with children, the Willingen pool guarantees fun. The pool is clean and tidy. There is a choice between a hot and colder pool, a sauna, whirlpool bath, slides and a children’s pool. This subtropical swimming pool Willingen is highly recommended.
