Beautiful North Sea Islands

The small town of Husum is characterized by the interplay of the tides. The North Sea reaches as far as the inland port. Watch the tides very closely in the middle of the town. Stroll through the narrow streets and alleys and marvel at the picturesque, differently colored gabled houses.

The first stage of your bike tour leads you – always along the dike – through North Frisia. You cycle through numerous nature and bird sanctuaries. You are sure to meet the numerous sheep that romp around on the dikes. On your left you will have a view of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park with its unique Halligen.

First you get on the train with your bikes and drive to Sylt. You arrange the day according to your wishes. For example, the Hörnum lighthouse in the south of the island is waiting for you. Sylt is also ideal for a relaxing day at the beach. In any case, try the fish roll typical for the region or a piece of frieze cake! Afterwards you go with the ferry to the Danish island Rømø.

Today you visit the southernmost and largest Danish North Sea island. The sandy beach of the popular vacation island is the longest and widest of its kind in all of Northern Europe and is also easily navigable by bike. You can reach the Danish mainland via an approximately ten kilometer long dam. Once you arrive in Tønder, you will enjoy the evening in the city, which is characterized by baroque and rococo architecture with its well-preserved patrician houses.

You leave Denmark on the North Sea coastal cycle path. In Neukirchen, just over the border, the Emil-Nolde-Museum is worth a visit. The exhibition offers insights into the life and work of one of the most important painters of Expressionism. On quiet paths you cycle relaxed through meadows and fields to Niebüll. Once there, we recommend a visit to the natural history museum.

On your last stage you leave Niebüll in a southerly direction. Alternatively, you can choose the somewhat longer way via the peninsula Nordstrand, which is the birthplace of the North Frisian national drink Pharisäer. The sweet coffee drink with a good shot of rum goes very well with a piece of Frisian cake, the classic of short pastry, puff pastry, cream and plum jam.
