Be enchanted by the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea, that not only shows off as a national park but also as World Heritage and Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. Experience first-hand the contrast between high and low tide, endless sky and wide sea, little people and much nature. Twice a day the tidal falls dry at low tide and submerged at high tide again. This gives this district an incredibly rich flora and fauna with animal and plant species found nowhere else in the world. Enjoy two double on the islands of Fohr and Amrun, visit the Halligen, Island Pellworm and the peninsula Nordstrand. Even the culinary region has much to offer: homemade cake with hot Pharisees, 'Deichkäse', 'Salzwiesenlamm', extra fresh crab, golden sand clods and freshly filled fish rolls, which are actually much more than just a minor detail.

This trip is perfect for:

  • Island fans: Explore the various islands on the North Sea coast!
  • Nature enthusiasts: This tour will delight you with a biosphere reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Wadden Sea!
  • Curious people: Go on a mudflat hike and learn lots of new things about this unique natural phenomenon.

Highlights

Husum
The northern city of Husum offers you maritime port flair, culture and pleasure for every taste, shopping experience for the whole family and at every corner traces of the great poet Theodor Storm.

Castle Husum
The Castle Husum in the heart of the castle park was built at the end of the 16th century in an area that was not yet part of the city of Husum.

Tine Husum
Tine, the secret landmark of Husum, stands on the base of the fountain built in 1902. Created by the native Husum sculptor Adolf Brütt, the bronze figure represents a young fisherwoman in wooden shoes.

Föhr
Föhr is part of the North Frisian Islands and is located in the heart of a world-unique landscape: the national park Wattenmeer. It is about 6.8 kilometers wide in north-south direction and 12 kilometers long in east-west direction and has a total area of 82.82 square kilometers.

Bredstedt
The air spa Bredstedt and its surrounding has a lot to offer tourist. Not only the 777-year-old town with its mills is worth seeing.

Tour

Welcome to the North Sea port of Husum. Explore the beautiful market square dominated by old houses with impressive gabled fronts, the old town hall and the imposing St. Mary's Church.

Enjoy a bike ride along the North Frisian coast with wind in the back and sun in the hair. Breathe in the fresh air, watch the flying skills of the seagulls, take a short walk across the mudflats or use the flood for a refreshing swim. In Dagebüll you start a 45-minute ferry ride to the island of Foehr, at low tide past sandbanks and seal colonies. In the evening you enjoy a spectacular view of the halligen from the beach promenade.

Explore the natural beauty of Föhr that advertises with Frisian Caribbean. The town of Wyk and the 11 island villages are among the tourist highlights of the island. Marvel at quaint thatched cottages, flowering gardens and so many small romantic corners. On your island tour on wonderful cycle paths you will visit beautiful churches and ancient windmills.

A short ferry ride will take you to Wittdün in Amrum. Hardly any other North Sea resort offers such a maritime setting: watching the comings and goings of the ferries, you photograph the colorful image of the shrimp boat and marvel at the fast rescue boats and large and small dinghies and yachts. Boardwalks through the dunes lead to the wide Kniepsand, plenty of shops, restaurants and cafes to take a stroll and enjoy. Cycle to Amruner Lighthouse, the 66 m high landmark on the island. It started operation in 1875 and is open for visitors during summer in the morning. Enjoy the wonderful view over the whole island from the round balcony.

Today you have the whole day to explore the beautiful island of Amrum. Kniepsand, which is over 1 kilometre wide, is one of the largest beaches on the German North Sea coast. Enjoy the vastness of the beach and the sea.

Back on the mainland, cycle via Dagebüll along the dikes to Bredstedt in North Frisia, the town of Frisian language research. Visit the North Frisia Nature Centre here. It vividly shows you the diverse natural landscapes of the region. Afterwards, you can relax and cycle through the wide, flat marshland back to Husum, the starting point of your beautiful round trip.

After breakfast we say goodbye to the vibrant harbor city and the unique Wadden Sea.
