Unfortunately, the Popinga tea room is closed, but there are still plenty of restaurants worth visiting in Greetsiel. The place itself is also worth visiting.

Greetsiel is a beautiful, small town and part of the municipality of Krummhörn. There are a lot of older houses. The harbor with its shrimp cutters is particularly worth seeing. In the season, however, Greetsiel is very busy.

July 23, 2025,Kleine Runde zum romantischen Greetsieler Hafen

Because the weather wasn't the best this morning (storm and rain), we decided to check out some of the windmills in the area.

After a visit to an ice cream parlor, the sun came out. This gave us the opportunity to at least go for a short bike ride.

May 2, 2026,Kleine Checkup Runde 🙂

Today we're going on a little "state of affairs" tour with the Holden. I'm hardened by the daily back and forth pedaling, so to speak, while my favorite person actually only rides on vacation and always needs a little practice at the beginning. The route was planned to be longer, but after the Pilsum lighthouse (greetings Otto) we turn off …
