By bike towards the lighthouse. Always drove to Greetsiel against the wind. On the way back to Norddeich we drove against the wind again‼️🌬🌬🌬🌞⛅️👍

Next time the outward and return journeys would be the same. Then you wouldn't have to cycle along the main road. 😤 And today the beach in Norddeich was so full. 😳 I'm sure it will be nicer on another day. 🤔

With a tailwind from the Otto Tower, it was more pleasant but you felt the heat more. In Greetsiel EKS at Cafe & Restaurant GEZEITEN the 🍔 burgers are awesome. The crossing with …

Arriving at the sluice lock, we are diverted along the road to Greetsiel due to construction work on the dike path, and thus arrive in …

Not “murdering in the north”, but biking in the north. Well, at least we started and ended the tour in the north. The two big highlights were the beautiful village of Greetsiel and the “Extra Frisian Lighthouse” known from the film Otto the Extra Frisian. Based on the quote - In Friesland they say sh... It should be noted that …
