June 11, 2025,Neuharlingersiel, Bensersiel und Dornumersiel auf einer Tour

From the East Frisian Islands in the North Sea to the inland stretches a landscape that couldn't be more diverse.

The tea tradition, the Low German language, East Frisian humor, and the special character of the people make East Frisia unique.

September 29, 2024,3 Hafenrund+Mühle von Neuharlingersiel 👫

Today we started our three harbor tours of Neuharlingersiel, Bensersiel and Dornumer Siel in the best northern German autumn weather. On this tour we discovered the lovingly restored mill in Dornum with the small museum cafe. We didn't plan the tour ourselves, we just followed it. We can only recommend it...

Today we only cycled to Dornum, not expecting to get wet. We took a short stroll in Esens and then cycled back along the dike. Today there was only a moderate headwind. 👍🏻😄

Two Rhinelanders, dressed as northern lights, escape the carnival hustle and bustle of their homeland and travel to the North Sea coast.

The weather in Neuharlingersiel is dry and we first drive to Esens and are greeted by the mill there. The Peldemühle is a gallery-style windmill from 1850.

September 6, 2022,Runde Esens - Dornumersiel - Fulkum - Esens

We start in Esens on the Süderwall or the pedestrian zone and take the much nicer byway to Bensersiel. We now follow the East Frisian mill cycle path to Dornumersiel, Westernaccum, Fulkum. If you want to see the mills closer, you have to leave the bike path, it does not go directly past it. In Fulkum we leave the Mühlenradweg …

A lovely walk along the North Sea in perfect holiday weather.
First along the dike (at low tide), then back to the accommodation.
Beautiful paths (unfortunately, sometimes a bit narrow).

Our goal today was the beautiful city center of Esens. We started from our holiday home on Dornumersiel, where we could ride our e-bikes after about 3km over the dike on the Wadden Sea to Bensersiel. A short stop at the port, then we cycled along the sewer into the country to Esens in the beautiful city center with the …
