Have I been complaining about the East Frisian Hiking Trail over the past few days? I take it all back 😀.

It's a very beautiful, easy-to-walk, mostly wind-protected hiking trail 😀.

Today, I hiked the East Frisian Hiking Trail from Esens to Bensersiel again. A very beautiful, unpaved path! On the dike next to the Benser Tief.
