The old village of Deezbüll, with the church at its centre, is the older place compared to the neighbouring Niebüll and was still on the sea at the time. Deezbüll still had a small harbour until the beginning of 1700. In 1682 and 1706 the two Christian-Albrechts-Köge were embanked. On the west side of the church, a heavy wrought iron gate from the A. Schmidt blacksmith's shop in Trappenkamp closes off the enlarged cemetery entrance. A stone bridge previously stood on this spot. The church is originally a Gothic building - initially without a tower - from the end of the 13th century, still recognizable by the pointed arched bricked-up north portal and the small windows on the north side. The south windows and the chancel were enlarged in the 18th century. The old granite stone foundations are still visible on the north side. The coffin with the deceased was led to the burial through the vestibule on the south side - first mentioned in 1649 - also called the mortuary and ossuary. There is a sundial on the gable of the vestibule. A new tower was built in 1964 based on the old one, which now has three bells from the Karlsruhe bell foundry, a God the Father bell, a Christ bell and a Holy Spirit bell. The main piece in the church is the winged altar (15th century) with a coronation of the Virgin Mary in the center. Because of the various depictions of the apostles in the church, the church was given the name Apostelkirche Deezbüll in 1993. The tombstones of famous people are on the north side of the old cemetery. http://www.kirche-niebuell.de/kirchen/apostelkirche.html

A quaint name, top quality and cult in this area, everyone knows Calli. There are people in the town of Leck in North Friesland who plan their annual vacation during Calli Schaschlik's company holidays. They don't want to miss out on the culinary offerings of their cult snack bar for a single day. Because everything they get at Calli, often after a long line, is made by hand. "I can't believe how patiently some customers wait until it's finally their turn," marvels the trained chef and junior manager Christian Paulsen. For more than 50 years, in the third generation, the Paulsens have been sizzling for their customers right on the main street in Leck. It all started with Grandpa Calli. He fried the first Lecker Schaschlik. Grandpa Calli is no more, but his name is honored, which is important to the Paulsens. The family is part of their recipe for success. Because whether you're a local Lecker or a vacationer, at Calli Schaschlik everyone feels like they're at their mother's stove. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/die_nordreportage/Lecker-Kult-Calli-Eine-Familie-lebt-Imbiss,sendung1288264.html

The former marl pit is now a beautiful leisure pool. A day ticket costs €3.00 and is well worth it.

It is only a few kilometers from Dagebüll harbor and you reach a district of Dagebüll: Fahretoft. A lovely place with lots of little thatched-roof houses on mounds. Lots of nature awaits you and if you drive a little further you will reach the Bottschloter Lake. This little spot on earth is wonderfully recommended for hikes and bike tours. https://www.dagebuell-tourismus.de/vor-ort-umgebung/orte/fahretoft
