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 cycle tour to Sylt takes you - always along the dyke - through North Friesland. You cycle along the North Sea Cycle Path through numerous nature reserves and bird sanctuaries. You are sure to come across numerous sheep frolicking on the dykes. To your left, you can see the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park with its unique Halligen islands. Treat yourself to a break on the dyke or take a detour along the boardwalk to Hamburger Hallig for a cup of coffee and enjoy the fantastic view before you reach your stage destination.

The Halligen are small marsh islands in the Wadden Sea, which are completely flooded several times a year. Thanks to the terps - artificial mounds - the islands can be inhabited all year round. You and your bike take the ferry to Hallig Hooge, the largest Hallig in the North Sea. In the storm surge cinema, you can experience a typical storm surge on a large screen. Enjoy the unique landscape before taking the ferry back to the mainland.

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.

You have the opportunity to decide how to spend your day at the largest sandy beach in Northern Europe. You may choose to explore the island by bike or on foot, enjoy a ride on a sand yacht, or perhaps you prefer a relaxing day of sunbathing?

Back on the Danish mainland, you can see the uneven towers of Ribe Cathedral from afar. Ribe is the oldest town in the country and was an important port and trading town in the Viking Age and the Middle Ages.

Back at the sea, you will first ascend the Vandtårnet, the landmark of the young city of Esbjerg. The observation platform offers a magnificent view of the city extending to the island of Fanø, your next destination. After a short crossing (not included), you may have the opportunity to discover amber washed up on the shore. In Esbjerg discover the sculpture group 'Man by the Sea' at Sædding Strand.
