Unknown bodies washed ashore were intended to be given a simple but dignified burial. Between 1906 and 1969, 32 people found their final resting place in the "Cemetery of the Homeless," as this quiet place is also called. The graves are marked with simple wooden crosses bearing the date of discovery.

The mill is located on private property and cannot be visited, and is barely visible from the path. However, you can purchase delicious honey (with salt marsh ingredients) and other fruity spreads right outside the garden gate.

Norddorf (in Öömrang "Noorsaarep") is, along with Süddorf ("Sössaarep"), the oldest of Amrum's villages. Both villages were first documented in 1464, but both were already settled in prehistoric and early historical times. In 1925, a major fire destroyed many houses in the historic village center. Since then, in contrast to Nebel or Süddorf, the villagescape has been dominated by newer houses without thatched roofs.

A beautiful place, but we found it very difficult to cycle through due to the dry and loose sand in many sections of the path. We had to give up and take another route
