Seafood specialty from New Brunswick: Dulse Seafood is one of the most important foods in Canada's Atlantic provinces. Every restaurant has scallops (mussels), haddock, salmon, lobster and oysters on the menu. That is almost part of good manners. And one is proud of it, after all, fishing was once one of the most important sources of income in the region. But New [...]
Cape Enrage - a playground for sea lovers A high-pitched scream drowns out the rolling of the waves on the sandy beach below the cliffs of Cape Enrage on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, and before our eyes a young woman with a hard hat and chest harness glides through the air onto a wooden tower to, which is only a few meters from the [...]
We go hiking on the Fundy Trail Parkway. The Bay of Fundy is one of the spectacular natural highlights in Canada's Atlantic provinces. No wonder with a difference in tides that almost completely empties the entire bay.
The Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick Maybe not everyone knows your name, but most of you have probably seen it - at least in one photo: the Hopewell Rocks on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick. They are among the most famous sights of the Atlantic Province in Canada, as they are a symbol of the highest [...]
There aren't many islands like Minister's Island in the world. We're at the end of a gravel road not far from St. Andrews-by-the-Sea in New Brunswick, which has brought us through a forest to the shores of the Bay of Fundy.

Well worth the trip: Kingsbrae Gardens in New Brunswick In 2011 the Garden Tourism Conference selected Kingsbrae Gardens in St. Andrews-by-the-Sea among the top five gardens in North America worth visiting.

When traveling through Canada's Atlantic provinces, you come across it again and again on the menus of many restaurants: the lobster stew, which is usually served with fresh vegetables and fried potatoes, as here at the Tidal Watch Inn in St. Martin, New Brunswick. This stew is perhaps one of the best ways to cook lobster: it's a [...]
The Bouctouche Dune is a nearly ten kilometer long sandbar off Bouctouche Bay in New Brunswick. Wind and waves have created them over centuries. Exactly the conditions that we encounter during our visit. Maybe that's why we can appreciate the beauty of this landscape so much?
Village Historique Acadien Caraquet At the Village Historique Acadien Caraquet in New Brunswick, we saw how difficult it is to capture the history of a people or an ethnic group in words, books and in spirit. Until our visit to this museum village, we had made it easy for ourselves: in most history books and travel guides it is said that the [...]
Le Pays de la Sagouine in Bouctouche Dorine is a celebrity in New Brunswick: the little woman who awaits us in Le Pays de la Sagouine has already commanded the prime minister of the province around. “He doesn't like dancing,” she laughs. “But I tricked him. And how he can dance! And can hit the spoon [...]
