May 10, 2025,Katinger Watt – Beobachtungshütte im Ringpriel Runde von Katingsiel

A very nice, quiet walk through a lot of forest, different than expected. This also shields us from the wind, and we're surrounded by lots of birdsong. Only the last part would have been better on the bike path, because it's a bit monotonous on the dam, where you just walk straight for 2 km, and it can get warm …

Today the weather gods were very kind to us. After a completely rainy morning, we set off at midday in glorious sunshine 🌞 and a bright blue sky at the Eider Barrage. A fascinating bulwark against the power of the North Sea. From there we first walked along the road before heading to the Kattinger Watt. On slightly muddy and …

Varied tour, first along the dike from the Eider barrage, then through forest and meadows. Diverse local wildlife and bird species. Finally, there is an approximately 2km long adventure trail for families. This can also be easily reached from the parking lot

The best way to get there is via the northern car park of the Eider Barrage or from the first car park towards Tönning. In June 2024, some of the paths were very overgrown. Insect protection is recommended. The nature trail is primarily recommended for families with small children.

I like to be interested in special buildings, so it was my wish to see the Eider barrage here 😊. In order to alternately design the round, we also took the Katinger Watt 👍🌊👌 with us. Unfortunately the weather 🌬🌨☔️ didn't really cooperate today 🥲 (actually we wanted to walk back and forth across the bridge 🙏) . Nevertheless, it …
