Capella (Pionier) shipwreck

Highlight • Monument

not far from the shipwreck you have a beautiful view of Baltrum.
It seems to be within walking distance, but be careful! The fairway cannot be negotiated.

Shipwreck

Highlight • Structure

In the late 1960s, a ship actually ran aground here. The parts are still lying here, but will probably soon be destroyed by wind and dune.

Last Large Tidal Creek Before the Eastern End

Highlight • River

You don't have to and shouldn't go through anywhere. You can get past the wreck or the Ostheller with dry feet. Very nice ground cover in the area.

July 30, 2021,Norderney: Wrackwanderung zum Ostende der Insel

Great destination for a nice circular hike: From the (bicycle) parking lot at Ostheller along the beach to the shipwreck of the mussel sucker "Capella" (perfect picnic spot - but please bring everything :-)) and back through the dunes, where beautiful, purple beach lilac carpets in summer are to be admired.
Or the other way around - depending on the …

June 12, 2023,Eine Runde zum 🚢 Wrack

Today we have something planned 😴, like a holiday island triathlon 🤭
First we cycled 8 km to the last parking lot, from there we always walked along the beach, wonderful. The low tide gave us a few more kilometers as we walked along the water's edge...
Small garbage collection campaign included, you've just started 🫣...
Arrived at the wreck …

The ship wreck "Capella" (old original photo in the link below) is now actually just a rusty pile of scrap, the rest of the ship's hull has now been almost completely swallowed up by the dune sand.
The entire east end, whether beach or dunes, with the Baltrum opposite is beautiful.
Starting point: “Ostheller” car park

My longest stretch this year 💪
It was probably exhausting on the sandy and uneven ground, but again a good workout to tie in with old times 😉
The weather was just great today 🌞😊👍
