June 9, 2025,nach Greetsiel und zum Pilsumer Leuchtturm

Due to the wind forecast (westerly wind), I changed my plans for today and headed towards Greetsiel. The route continued along the dike, but unfortunately, it was more of a southwesterly wind, resulting in a strong headwind. However, this was compensated for by a beautiful view of the sea and many sheep on the dike. Near the village of Neuwesteel, …

Cold, windy and with clouds of fog ... that's how it started this morning. It was a very nice tour, the weather got better and better during the day 🌤
... 60 meters in altitude on 55 kilometers 🤣 and that's only because we've crossed the dike a couple of times. It's really flat here 😉
And finally, delicious fish …

April 11, 2025,Norddeich - 🗼Ottoturm 🗼- 46 km

The Pilsum Lighthouse 💡, also known to most of us as the Otto Tower, is one of East Frisia's most famous landmarks, with a height of approximately 12 meters. We've been there many times, and we also know the wedding room; it's always beautiful.

Of course, Greetsiel wasn't missed - and yes, we even had an ice cream 🍦.

This beautiful and varied bike tour goes from Norddeich in a westerly direction to Greetsiel. Greetsiel is a very idyllic place with a beautiful inner harbor. We continue to the mill and then north to the Otto lighthouse. The route back to Norddeich takes you along beautiful inland cycle paths.

September 17, 2024,Am Deich entlang nach Norddeich 17.09.2024

The title of my tour is: "Along the dike...". But this is only partially true, because today was a round with obstacles.

It started after just 2.5 km at the bridge over the Störtebeker Canal: The bridge was closed to pedestrians and cyclists. As it later turned out, not only the bridge, but also the path in front of and …
