Tips from the Community

Jörg
September 8, 2026, Rickelsbüller Koog

The construction of the Rickelsbüller Koog began in 1979, and it was inaugurated in 1981. It is named after the village of Rickelsbüll, which was lost in the Great Flood on December 1, 1615, the remains of which are located under the dike between the Wiedingharder Neuen Koog and the Rickelsbüller Koog. In 1982, the koog was declared a nature reserve, thus replacing the previous protected area 'Bird Sanctuary North Sea East of Sylt'. On December 10, 1997, an information pavilion was opened by the Schleswig-Holstein state government, which provides information about the bird species found there in both German and Danish.

Located directly on the German/Danish border. Good opportunity for a break, delicious cake and coffee. When the weather is nice, you can use the terrace.

According to Wikipedia, this is the "northernmost mainland point" of Germany. However, there is no marking here. The point marked by the highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/3814093 is located a little further south. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Extrempunkte_Deutschlands

Northernmost point of mainland Germany It's not spectacular, but if you're cycling the North Sea Cycle Route, it's a must-see. Seeing this spot is a must 😉. There's a shelter in the parking lot for shelter in case of rain. There's also information about the dike construction and the Wadden Sea.
