Sheep on the North Sea Dike

Highlight • Natural

By the end of March, there are already plenty of lambs. Along the dike, you're right in the middle of it. Ride carefully, as they cross right in front of your bike. There are many barriers to negotiate.

A nice tour from St. Peter Ording, along the dike, past the grazing sheep, towards Westerheverleuchturm.

October 7, 2024,Leuchtturm Westerhever Strand

Started after the early rain and then it turned into a sunny autumn day. 🚴‍♀️☀️
Unfortunately, many sheep were affected by bluetongue disease🐑😥 And there were also more tourists who couldn't get close enough for photos and videos. There were also people out collecting them, but they can't be everywhere.

Unfortunately, the tour was recorded incorrectly... if we were Jesus, the onward journey / return journey across the water of the Tümmlauer Koog could be correct... but we're not 😂😂😂

Cycling is definitely better than hiking in this area! 😉😆 The cycle path went 15km behind or in front of the dike to the lighthouse. The Westerhever lighthouse is rightly a famous postcard motif! He really shines in the sky! Behind the dike, a canal accompanies cyclists. We returned via country roads in the Tümlauer Koog, which were often decorated …

September 21, 2022,St. Peter-Ording - Westerhever Runde

Last week in Jever🍺 (see picture 1) and today after NF at best 🌤😎 17🌡 and hardly 🌬. The start was in Sankt-Peter Ording and of course the first thing to do was to visit the stilt houses. Then we went to the famous lighthouse (Jever advertising). You could have visited the tower, but unfortunately only with advance notice. Tickets …

Nice tour where the vastness of the North Sea can be really experienced. Also suitable with children. Under certain circumstances the wind can be a problem. As there are no places to stop for refreshments on the route, think of something to eat and drink!
