Patience pays off. The campsite owner told us to please experience this highlight, saying the sunsets are breathtaking. And he was so right. Thank you so much for that. Along the way, we found some very special stones and also had the opportunity to get a little creative.

Climbing the dunes by bike is quite difficult, so you have to push it first, after that the path is really great. From time to time there are sandbanks, then you have to push.
