The cemetery in Kirchhofstrasse belongs to the municipality of Leck just as death belongs to life. The cemetery is not only a place of peace and reflection, but is also one of our most beautiful green spaces in the municipality. The idyllic design helps relatives to overcome their grief. In addition to its importance as a final resting place for people, the park-like cemetery also invites you to take a walk. There are over 4 km of paths on an area of around 4 hectares and around 2.5 km of beech and 1.5 km of thuja hedges have been planted. The first burials can be found in the grave register in 1891. I think it's particularly good that dogs are expressly allowed in the cemetery. There are even "poop bag dispensers" here. Exemplary! You can find more information about the cemetery here: https://www.leck.de/unser-friedhof/

A quaint name, top quality and cult in this area, everyone knows Calli. There are people in the town of Leck in North Friesland who plan their annual vacation during Calli Schaschlik's company holidays. They don't want to miss out on the culinary offerings of their cult snack bar for a single day. Because everything they get at Calli, often after a long line, is made by hand. "I can't believe how patiently some customers wait until it's finally their turn," marvels the trained chef and junior manager Christian Paulsen. For more than 50 years, in the third generation, the Paulsens have been sizzling for their customers right on the main street in Leck. It all started with Grandpa Calli. He fried the first Lecker Schaschlik. Grandpa Calli is no more, but his name is honored, which is important to the Paulsens. The family is part of their recipe for success. Because whether you're a local Lecker or a vacationer, at Calli Schaschlik everyone feels like they're at their mother's stove. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/die_nordreportage/Lecker-Kult-Calli-Eine-Familie-lebt-Imbiss,sendung1288264.html

The Augarten is a popular green space in the heart of Leck. In addition to regular events in the pavilion, people play boules, jog, and work out on the open-air fitness area. Children have fun on the playground, and those looking for something more active can set off on a canoe trip from the canoe dock on the Lecker Au River at the edge of the Augarten. https://luftkurort-leck.de/erleben/sehenswuerdigkeiten/
