The Francke family's unforgettable summer in the Coastal Land
In August 2024, the Francke family from Northern Germany spent 10 days in As Vig on the Baltic Sea. Although the weather did not allow for beach days and crab fishing, they found a fantastic plan B: the Coastal Land treasure hunts.
On Hjarnø they discovered the treasure map, and that was the start of an adventure, where the boys Jakob (6) and Jesper (4) decided to collect all seven medals 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅. The rainy weather was quickly forgotten as the family visited places they would never have experienced otherwise.
The Francke family writes:
"The boys had the best vacation of their lives. We visited places we would never have discovered without this brilliant idea, and the cool summer days were filled with adventure and fun. Thank you so much for this fantastic experience! We look forward to the next time and hope that there may be a treasure hunt number 8, 9 or 10..."
