Sheep on the North Sea Dike

Highlight • Natural

By the end of March, there are already plenty of lambs. Along the dike, you're right in the middle of it. Ride carefully, as they cross right in front of your bike. There are many barriers to negotiate.

April 21, 2024,Tour St. Peter-Bad - Westerhever Leuchtturm

Last autumn the lighthouse was still wrapped up, but it is now back in all its glory... it looks beautiful. Today was a great tour, almost completely alone on the route, it's good that the first tour goes straight to the lighthouse, so I was able to watch thousands of barnacle geese that kept rising from their breeding grounds.

It is well worth stopping at the charming country café "Eclair" on the way back!

A wonderful bike ride on excellent bike paths along the dike to the Weterhever Lighthouse. The many sheep are truly an eye-catcher, but you should always be careful and ready to brake; I almost had an accident on the downhill with two lambs that suddenly ran off.

Hello everyone, today we drove in front of and behind the dike to the Westerheversand lighthouse. Finally!! I've always wanted to see this amazing building up close. With mostly good weather (there were a few drops of rain here and there) the tour was a lot of fun!

Really nice tour to the lighthouse in Westerhever with "spontaneous birth" of Peter and Paul (two sweet lambs) on the dike. In between we took the opportunity to take a long walk over the sandbank in Ording and to have a sittin in the beach bar 54. Beautiful location in an outstanding location.😎

Off to the Westerhever Strand lighthouse.
P.S. It's the famous lighthouse from the beer commercials, and it's here and *not* in Jever 🤫

April 6, 2024,Sankt Peter Ording - Husum.... eigentlich

Today we took the train via Husum to Sankt Peter-Ording. From there we were supposed to take a nice ride along the coast back to Husum. We ended up stranded in Westerhever because of a flat tire. Due to a lack of adequate tools 😡 (I could kick myself in the ass) we called the ADAC. That worked out great. …

September 17, 2024,St. Peter Dorf - Westerhever Leuchtturm - und zurück

We had planned differently... it was supposed to be sunny and not so cold. But no matter, now we're here, you can cycle there too. But first we went to the bike shop in St. Peter Dorf because my lock was stuck. With a few squirts of WD40 the problem was solved and the young man didn't want anything for …
