Hiking

The name of the Hellerpad is derived from the "Heller", the pastures between the summer dike and the sea dike near Dornumersiel. The salt marshes in front of the summer dike, however, owe the most impressive natural experiences on the round trip. They naturally form the transition from the tidal flats to the land on the Wadden Sea coast.

Hiking

The Hellerpad in Dornumersiel is an approximately 4 km long circular hiking trail. It leads along the Wadden Sea as well as along the inner dike. The Hellerpad is also the only path in the Wadden Sea National Park that is allowed for dogs. Of course, the dogs must be on a leash.

Here you can also take a great walk with your dog:
Dyke protection paths between Dornumersiel and Neßmersiel - inland along the dike. No car bothers here
