💚Beautiful green color changes especially in sunshine🌞, wonderful nature/animal observations🐦. The boardwalks, built with great effort by local craft businesses, cross the heath and the dunes and lead to the beach, to the viewing dunes and to the viewpoints. The wooden planks of the boardwalks are replaced with new ones after a few years. In some cases, individual sections are also relaid and the old post foundations are still visible. 🌿Wonderful to experience the remarkable nature like this 🍃👌🏼.

🌊💙The freshwater lake Wriakhörn lies directly in the dunes between Wittdün and the lighthouse❤️. A boardwalk leads around the lake to Kniepsand🤍. Information boards provide information about flora and fauna🍃🌿- Resting places invite you to linger. Here you can observe resting seabirds and shorebirds and enjoy the fresh breeze from the nearby North Sea🌊💙.

Greetings from the Lüneburg Heath, but we're here on the North Sea island of Amrum. Simply stunningly beautiful during the flowering season in August/September.

At 32 meters, it is the highest dune on Amrum. From here, you have an excellent view over the dune landscape all the way to Hörnum on Sylt, or across the municipality of Norddorf to the northern tip of Amrum, the "Odde."
