May 11, 2026, Sandwall Promenade, Föhr

🏖 Wyk on Föhr🌊💙 Winding alleys, quaint Frisian houses, old captain's houses & numerous restaurants/cafés with sea views characterize the cityscape of Wyk on Föhr, a North Sea island in the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site 🦀. A maritime harbor town with kilometer-long sandy beaches and parks with partly exotic plants warmly invite you 🏖. Founded in the 17th century, Wyk developed into a popular spa town in the 19th century. ⛴️ Ferry service to Föhr harbor is provided by regular connections from the port of Dagebüll 🚢🧭.
