Cycling

The large island tour on Amrum begins in Wittdün. From here you cycle past the Amrumer lighthouse and then past the nature reserve Amrumer Dünen to Norddorf. In the modern spa and family holiday resort you can take a relaxing break at the nearby beach.

If you have enough time, a detour to the nature reserve is worthwhile, which extends to the gates of Norddorf. Here you will experience a great dune landscape with dunes up to 30 meters high. A paradise for numerous seabird species.

From Norddorf you cycle over the pretty island village of Nebel with the St. Clemens church and the windmill back to the east coast. Here you drive directly to Wittdün on the mud flats. On the way you will pass the Steenodder cliff and pass the Wittdüns maritime harbor, which provides a picturesque picture with dinghies and yachts, fishing trawlers and the rescue cruiser.

Norddorf Beach

Highlight • Beach

The northernmost town can also easily be reached by bus or bicycle. From the stop in town to the beach on foot but still 1000 meters! From the beach you have a good view of the sweet tip of the island of Sylt. This beach is still very natural!

Sunshine and a wide view: these are ideal conditions for a beautiful circular tour on the island of Amrum.
We take a short ride up to the upper Wandelbahn and enjoy the beautiful view over the salt marshes to the Kniephaken and the distant water.
The bike path then initially runs along the island road, and soon we are delighted …

Today, on Father's Day, we boarded the ferry to Dagebüll and drove to our favorite island in North Frisia. With the weather initially perfect, we leisurely cruised to our destinations and well-known highlights and were able to enjoy everything.

There was a lot of interesting and entertaining information about lighthouses, buoys, beacons, buoys, and much more. This tour is highly recommended.

The sky was mostly overcast, only occasionally did the sun peek out. In addition, it stormed quite violently.
Was so nothing with bathing.

So back on the bike and turned around the island.
First we went to EDEKA in Norddorf, from there all the way down to Wittdün, to eat fish sandwiches and crabs. That was delicious.
Then back home, …
