Tips from the Community

🐐Zwei Bergziegen🐐
May 14, 2026, Bohlenweg durch die Amrumer Dünen

They are something of a trademark: The boardwalks on Amrum. In total, there are over 11 km of these wooden structures, which snake through the island's protected areas like "sidewalks". The boardwalks, laid with great effort by local craft businesses, cross the heath and dunes and lead to the beach, to the viewing dunes and to the viewpoints. The wooden planks of the boardwalks are replaced with new ones after a few years. Sometimes individual sections are also relaid and the old post foundations are still recognizable. 🌿Wonderful to experience the remarkable nature like this 🍃👌🏼.

💚Beautiful green color changes especially in sunshine🌞, wonderful nature/animal observations🐦. The boardwalks, built with great effort by local craft businesses, cross the heath and the dunes and lead to the beach, to the viewing dunes and to the viewpoints. The wooden planks of the boardwalks are replaced with new ones after a few years. In some cases, individual sections are also relaid and the old post foundations are still visible. 🌿Wonderful to experience the remarkable nature like this 🍃👌🏼.

🌊💙The freshwater lake Wriakhörn lies directly in the dunes between Wittdün and the lighthouse❤️. A boardwalk leads around the lake to Kniepsand🤍. Information boards provide information about flora and fauna🍃🌿- Resting places invite you to linger. Here you can observe resting sea and shore birds and enjoy the fresh breeze from the nearby North Sea🌊💙.

This beautiful, unique freshwater biotope lies in the heart of the Amrum dunes. It was created by the natural growth of a dune embankment. This was then artificially extended, gradually filling it with rainwater and rising groundwater. The lake and its surrounding area are an important resting and breeding ground for countless water birds.
