Nordstrand is a peninsula on the North Sea coast in Schleswig-Holstein and is part of the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. Known for its unique nature, tranquility and expansive landscapes, Nordstrand is a paradise for nature lovers and cyclists. The peninsula is surrounded by an extensive network of dikes that provide protection from the tides and storm surges while also offering a great opportunity for hiking and cycling along the coast. A highlight of Nordstrand is the opportunity to experience the Wadden Sea up close. At low tide, you can explore vast mudflats and discover the Wadden Sea's unique ecosystem, which is home to numerous species of birds and marine life. The "land under" phenomenon is particularly impressive when the tide washes over the lower areas of Nordstrand and creates a unique water landscape. Nordstrand is also the perfect starting point for trips to the Halligen, small, unprotected marsh islands in the Wadden Sea that can often only be reached at low tide. A boat trip to Hallig Hooge or the island of Pellworm is particularly popular. For cyclists, Nordstrand offers several well-developed cycle routes that lead through green meadows, past flocks of sheep and picturesque farms. The "Nordstrander Rundtour" is a particularly recommended route that leads along the dikes and offers breathtaking views of the Wadden Sea and the surrounding islands. Historically, Nordstrand has a turbulent past. The peninsula was originally an island that was divided by several severe storm surges in the 17th century. The current connection to the mainland was created by the construction of a dam in the 1930s, which turned Nordstrand into a peninsula. In addition to nature, Nordstrand also has a lot to offer culturally. The small St. Vincent Church from the 13th century is one of the oldest buildings in the region and worth a visit. For a culinary break, the local restaurants offer fresh fish and regional specialties, including the famous Nordstrand lamb.
