'Beach-sleeping baskets' win German Tourism Award
'Beach-sleeping baskets' were named the 'Best Touristic Innovation' at the recently concluded German Tourism Awards. The 2.40-metre-wide and 1.30-metre-high baskets, believed to be the first of their kind in the world, include bedding and pillows and can accommodate two people. Known as Schlafstrandkörbe, they were reportedly used along the Baltic Coast of Germany over the summer.
