Tips from the Community
Northernmost point of mainland Germany It's not spectacular, but if you're cycling the North Sea Cycle Route, it's a must-see. Seeing this spot is a must 😉. There's a shelter in the parking lot for shelter in case of rain. There's also information about the dike construction and the Wadden Sea.

The Rickelsbüller Koog is a nature reserve covering approximately 534 hectares in the North Frisian district – the northwesternmost point of mainland Germany lies there, directly on the border dam near Rodenäs-Markhäuser. Since its embankment in 1981 and official designation as a protected area in 1982, it offers a mosaic of wet meadows, reed beds, and inland waters that developed from the former mudflats and salt marshes. For birdwatchers, the Koog is a true paradise: it is one of the most important resting and breeding areas along the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast. Species such as pink-footed goose, barnacle goose, redshank, black-tailed godwit, dunlin, knot, and many more rest and breed here in large numbers. Particularly impressive are the now regular sightings of white-tailed eagles – a testament to the ecological importance of the area. The landscape is crisscrossed by easily accessible dikes and observation points, including an observation hut. Ideal for nature lovers: binoculars are a must to experience the vibrant birdlife in action. The circular trail – for example, part of the "WWF Tour – Boundless Birdlife" – runs approximately 13 km through the area, offering extensive experiences of the open landscape and the opportunity to experience the northernmost point of the mainland. The Koog is accessible via Rodenäs: By bike or car, you can reach a free parking area directly next to the dike via the border road. From there, paths lead into the protected area – the clear landscape, the rich birdlife, and the peacefully flowing border make the destination a special natural location.

The northernmost point of the German mainland is located in the Rickelsbüller Koog, near Rodenäs in the district of Nordfriesland, Schleswig-Holstein. It marks Germany's outermost land border on the North Sea. Access is via the Norddeich–Sieltoft border crossing, which also serves as a reference point for this extreme point. This is not the absolute northernmost point in Germany—that position is occupied by the Ellenbogen peninsula on Sylt, a peninsula north of List that belongs to the island.

Looking over the dike, you can see the Hindenburg Dam to the left and, from time to time, a train passing by. Ahead, the east coast of Sylt with its lighthouse and cliffs. In front, the Wadden Sea is a magnificent sight.
