You are right; I, at least, know this right away :-) First hint: This is the road to an island, that is in your portfolio. Second hint: this is not a cataclysmic flooding of the road, but a daily normal occurance - twice, actually. LG Jan.
Sehr schönes Rätsel ... so eine Stelle kenne ich nur von Irland und das damals von Giuseppe eingestellte Rätsel konnte ich lösen, hier war ich gestern beim kurzen reinschauen erfolglos ...
Jetzt; mit der Mitteilung durch Matthias ist das Rätsel fertig :-)
I am standing on the edge of Mandø island, right at the point were the gravel road to the mainland starts. We knew, that you can only leave the island at low water but on this particular day a low pressure system over the North Sea was pressing more water towards the coast, so that we had to stay a bit longer at the island even on the following day when we planned to leave.
For a "mountain person" this was an extraordinary experience, especially because on the way back the gravel road and its leeve was not completely out of the water ....
Apart from the hovering pole from the fence, it is perfect. I would most likely not have made a pano of this scene, so I am glad you did.
The island has the same ability to attract rare vagrant birds like Helgoland, so from time to time, anxious and impatient birders flock to drive over from the mainland. As you experienced, a western moving lowpressure can isolate the island for longer periods, and in longer eastern wind periods, the road is open all day. Rule of thumb says, that on falling water, you can simply move forward along the retreating edge. On rising water, don't try, even if it is still very low. Sudden winds from south and west can push a lot of water in. Don't expect to drive fast, the gravel and stone will destroy the under carriage.
Diese Insel und ihre Besonderheiten bei der Anreise kannte ich überhaupt nicht. Für mich ist das ein attraktives Ziel. Vielen Dank fürs Aufmerksammachen.

Let see if there are some more folks around to riddle. An additional question could be ... am I on the island or not ???

Geografisch kann ich da nur raten: Mein Tipp wäre ein Vierbuchstabenwort mit R, von dem sich zwei Vokale hier nicht darstellen lassen.
Da war ich in den frühen 90ern mal.
Erinnerung: Erster Bowlingbahnbesuch. :-)
Cheers and stay healthy, Matthias.

Da kommt dann im Hinterland gleich das hübsche alte Ribe, das ich weit vor der Pano-Zeit auch mal besucht habe.
