Langeoog Island Train Station

Highlight • Structure

Those who come from the ferry can use the island train or walk here from the port. But I recommend using the island train.

The land identification beacon Langeoog was built in 1960 not far from the beach in the Dreebargen dunes. It is a pyramid-shaped beacon with a square punctuation mark.

The way to the Ostend is a fantastic hike through one of the most pristine beach and dune landscapes in Germany.

Hello 😉 no matter what time of day 😊 I like 😊
Beautiful but also painful day 🙈
In addition to the kilometers on Langeoog, there are still 11 km from accommodation to Bensersiel and back to that and there are bubbles pre-programmed on Chucks 🙈

Fantastically beautiful route from the town of Langeoog to the east end of the island and back, combined with cycling to and from the dairy and the rest of the route as a hike.
