The large letters in a trendy rust look (Corten steel) are an extremely popular photo motif for holidaymakers, especially at sunset. It stands at the transition of the lagoon island.

The lettering is at the front at the transition to the lagoon island. Had to go over there.

This is a field path leading out of the village. It leads to the North Sea Coast Cycle Route. Right to SPO, left back to Büsum

This is not a forest path in the nature park. This is simply the small community park in Büsum... what makes it a highlight is only known to the creator.
