Very nice viewing hut. Overlooks a headland in the water near the hut, so if you sit for a while you can see all kinds of waders passing by. Also seen and special ducks. Also after the hut, towards the mudflats, there is water on the right with land nearby, giving you a good view of various birds from the road. Eagle also seen. In July...

Although it is not a perfect route for racing bikes, there are many gates to open and close. But in my opinion you should accept that, whether at high or low water, the Wadden Sea is always an experience, so it doesn't matter if it took you more time than planned. Also along the dike to Nordstand, really pleasant and if you want you can also take a break at the Holmersiel bathing area.

They arise scattered or in small groups in the different heathland and grassland types. The common heather covers the hilltops with a pink veil in August and September.
