Tönning on Eiderstedt In the old town, pretty gabled houses frame the market square, over 400 years old, while in the harbour, sports and sailing boats lie at anchor⚓️⛵️🛥. Strolling along the quay or in one of the cosy restaurants, you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere with a view of the historic warehouse located right on the harbour. The imposing building formerly served as a storage for shipping⚓️. Since 1965, the Tönning warehouse has been a listed monument, has been extensively and comprehensively renovated and is used as an event and exhibition space. Peace and serenity characterise this relaxing holiday resort⚓️🌊💙.

Through the Stöpe you reach the historic harbor of Tönning (1613), once a transshipment point for Eiderstedt's agricultural trade. Today, service ships of the Tönning Waterways and Shipping Authority and many pleasure boats are moored here. Worth seeing: Skipperhuset Tönning and Tönninger Packhaus (during Christmas time "the world's longest Advent calendar"). Promenade with North Sea gastronomy. https://www.nordseetourismus.de/historischer-hafen-toenning Incidentally, there are no buoys in shipping... they are called 'Tonnen' and are fairway markers.

Well, what is supposed to be "nice" on the dike cycle paths is a matter of taste. The North Sea Coast Cycle Route is several hundred kilometers long and looks the same in almost every section. On the left the North Sea, on the right the hinterland to be protected. That's why you ride on the dike. Oh yes, and don't forget the dike keepers. Sheep also look the same everywhere 🫣😂

The outdoor playground is currently under renovation, it is still definitely worth planning time there. Depending on the weather, rain pants are recommended.
