Beach volleyball in Heide: semi-finals and finals on Thursday!

This week all eyes are on Heide as an exciting beach volleyball tournament attracts people. The event has been running for several weeks and will culminate on Thursday evening with the semi-finals and finals on the market square in Heide, reports NDR. With a total of 54 teams consisting of 324 players, the tournament will be a real crowd puller.

The market beach, which was built especially for the tournament, will remain in place after the final until September 7th and will continue to be open for use. This means that all volleyball enthusiasts have the opportunity to enjoy the sand until early autumn. But in the town of Itzehoe, around 30 kilometers away, there are also attractive options for beach volleyball fans. The Beach Club Itzehoe on Berliner Platz invites you to exercise until September 29th, and anyone who wants to can register for free. Nils Menzel, the head of the volleyball department at the Itzehoe sports club, is happy to accept registrations.

A look outside the box

While beach volleyball fever is spreading in Heide, summer is in full swing. If you want to breathe the air of the coast, you will also find numerous beautiful beaches around Kolkata. With a coastline of 210 kilometers, West Bengal offers a variety of options. Popular beaches like Digha and Mandarmani are not only ideal for couples but also attract families and friends. Nature Diary lists the top 10 best beaches in the area that promise both beauty and good facilities.

The responsibility for the environment

In times of growing environmental awareness, the tech industry is also reflecting on its responsibility. Microsoft has set ambitious goals to be carbon negative, water positive and zero waste by 2030. As can be read in a recent blog post on the Microsoft Tech Community, the Surface Laptop Studio reduces overall carbon emissions by 30 percent compared to the previous device, says the report. The aim is also to make all Surface devices fully recyclable by 2030.

This initiative is just a small part of the global commitment to advance sustainable practices while bringing innovative products to market. The combination of high-quality design and responsibility for the environment will be crucial for the success of companies in the future.

Cologne may be a long way from the coast, but the events and trends of Heide, the beaches around Kolkata and advances in technology offer exciting impulses for the vibrant culture and lifestyle here in the city. Stay tuned for more information and exciting reports on local events!
