Tips from the Community
The bascule bridge is very similar to those I know from the East Frisian fen areas, presumably of Dutch design.

At least here you're allowed to cycle with a view of the sea (whether that part-time sea is currently there or not)! 🙏🏻

Unfortunately, the tower cannot be climbed. As it is located in the middle of the city center, the crowds would probably also be too high... 😉

The large letters in a trendy rust look (Corten steel) are an extremely popular photo motif for holidaymakers, especially at sunset. It stands at the transition of the lagoon island.

Great cycling route, also for road bikes ...wind direction doesn't matter ...the wind always blows from the wrong direction :-)

The NSG Wöhrdener Loch is not a dense forest or a narrow path with spectacular views, but a wide-open, very natural meadow and wetland area. It is especially worth visiting if you want to experience some peace, birdlife, and North German nature "on a grand scale".
