Tips from the Community
The tour's destination. Bodden landscape, Barther Oie, reed belt. Binoculars are worthwhile. Spectacular far-reaching view, especially at sunrise.

Beautiful tower, right next to the bike path. It feels a bit like you're cycling through the residents' gardens, and from there you have a fantastic view of the tower.

Great hotel – I thought the conversion of a warehouse into a hotel was bold, but successful. My room offered a fantastic view of the harbor. I also loved the room itself, as it was quite large and comfortable.
