View of the Wadden Sea

Highlight • Viewpoint

Viewing Neßmersiel

Crossing on foot possible (of course only at low tide)

Little downside -> it joins a wind turbine to the next. Energiewende nice and good, but visually it is a shame for the North Sea coast.

Salt Marshes of the North Sea

Highlight • Natural

Here you will find few other vacationers. If you keep still, you can see a lot of birds. Just sit on the edge and wait. Even low and high tide are exciting to watch.

Baltrum Lookout Dune

Highlight • Viewpoint

Since the island is fairly "flat", the two viewing dunes are sufficient for a fantastic overview of the island. The huge dune landscape, which you should definitely walk through, is particularly noteworthy Sand dunes.

St. Nicholas Catholic Church (Baltrum)

Highlight • Religious Site

The thatched church was built in 1957 and architecturally adapted to the seasonal rhythm of a holiday island. It consists of a closed part, the Winter Church, and the Summer Church, a courtyard with thatched roof and colorful glass windows by Margarete Franke, which depict scenes from the life of St. Nicholas. The architect of the church is the Osnabrück Heinrich Feldwisch-Drentrup. The Winter Church can accommodate about 50 worshipers. The summer church used only in the main season is designed for up to 300 people.

Westbake Baltrum

Highlight • Monument

west beacon
This approx. 9 m high beacon is located at the west end of the beach promenade, the counterpart in the east village. The unlighted beacons are fixed navigational aids that are used for the spatial orientation of ships. They usually have a distinctive shape and a corresponding top mark on the tip.

The island of Baltrum is very small, so you inevitably walk most of the paths several times, some even several times a day 🤣. That's why I rarely show these routes. Today, a few more impressions 😊 with a total of 4 stones found 🔴🟩🩵.
Yesterday I found 3 ☺️, and several more in the last few weeks. Apparently, there …

Had an early ferry crossing today - 9.45 a.m. My room wasn't ready yet, so I went to explore the area. It was still very cloudy and hazy in the morning, but after 2 Jever 🍺 in Uschi's beach bar, the ☀️ came out. 😉

August 4, 2025,Inselzeit: Baltrum für einen Tag

Yesterday, we spontaneously decided that it would actually be pretty cool to go to Baltrum – so, said and done. This morning, we got in the car, drove to Neßmersiel, and then took the ferry over.

The plan was actually to circumnavigate the island – it would take exactly three hours, so it sounded doable. So we set off, over …

Undertaking a day trip is not always easy, as the ferries run according to the tide.
If you want to stop for a bite to eat, we recommend Mittenmang Fisch. The restaurant belongs to an organization from Emden that provides opportunities for the disadvantaged.
