Including the first weekend, more than 20.000 visitors were counted at the 4th German Sand Sculpture Festival “Sand World” in Travemünde.

“We are very happy how Sand World started. The fairy-tale motive enthuses many people – children and adults from several countries,” said Johann W. Wagner (CEO of Lübeck and Travemünde Tourist-Service GmbH)

The area which covers app. 10.000 square metres shows 45 images by the Grimm brothers, oriental legendary stories from "1001 Nights" and tales of the Danish fairy-tale writer Hans Christian Andersen.

What most visitors like best about Sand World is the world’s biggest Frog King. He watches over the water world, awaiting his Princess. Another favourite is the castle, which is 12 metres high. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and the Beauty and the Beast live here.

Sand World opens daily until September, 4.
