Hiking

Greetsiel is home to Ostfriesland's largest fleet of shrimp cutters, with around 25 to 31 vessels. The ships shape the picturesque lock harbor, which is accessible independently of the tides via the Leysiel lock. Guests can experience shrimp fishing on cutter trips aboard the cutter "Nordstern" (GRE 18), while the annual cutter parade on August 1st is a highlight. The cutters are a central part of the identity of the small fishing village, which is one of the most famous photo motifs on the German North Sea coast.

Unfortunately, the shrimp fishery will probably be put on hold soon.

Mountain biking

The traditional Greetsiel cutter parade is organized every year by the Greetsiel fishermen and the Greetsiel and Surrounding Area Tourist Association and marks the end of the crab week. Most of the 25 crab cutters from Greetsiel take part in this event. For their trip on the high seas, the cutters are decorated with colorful flags by their captains. All visitors are welcome to this special excursion and can buy tickets.
