A big humpback whale is stuck in the Baltic Sea. It rests on a sand bank near Niendorf. This place is near Timmendorfer Strand. Experts want to help the animal. But this is very hard.
On Tuesday, there was a new plan. A suction dredge should dig a channel. The whale should swim into deep water this way. But the sand was too hard. The dredge could not dig the channel.
The whale is about 10 meters long. It is sick. It has a skin sickness. Experts say: The animal is very weak. Many people watch from the beach. The police closed the area.
