From Norddorf we went towards the lighthouse. I have chosen the forest path variant here. Then up to the lighthouse (no ascent due to C.) People get upset that they have to pay 1.80 euros for a magnificent view. What the hell. There was really a fantastic view here, …

March 24, 2023,Amrum - Runde ab/an Wittdün über Norddorf, Nebel, Steerodde... - mit Anke
