German term or phrase: Glück auf den Ruhrinseln
Hi,

Could you please translate for us (we are to some extent an agency and do not speak Dutch)

A) Glück auf den Ruhrinseln
B) Glück auf der Ruhrinsel

into Dutch.

This is not urgent, answering by tomorrow evening will be fine.

The context is NRW tourism marketing.

That would be great.

Thanks,

Cheers,

Het eilandgevoel op de Ruhr
Explanation:
The eilandgevoel is mostly associated with the Waddeneilanden (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westfriesische_Inseln), but it could work well here. Another option along this path is Island life op de Ruhr. This one is a bit more popular.
