Of course we have lots of great excursion tips in Dornum. The best mudflat hikes on the East Frisian North Sea coast start from Neßmersiel. The MS Freia steers with you from Dornumersiel to the seal banks and our animation program is always a highlight for the children, in which they go on an exciting treasure hunt dressed as a pirate. Not to be forgotten is the baroque moated castle in the glory of Dornum, which you are welcome to take a closer look at. But despite this, there are other beautiful destinations for your family holiday on the North Sea just a few minutes' drive from Dornum. https://www.dornum.de/erlebnisse/familienurlaub/ausflugstipps
