Capella (Pionier) shipwreck

Highlight • Monument

not far from the shipwreck you have a beautiful view of Baltrum.
It seems to be within walking distance, but be careful! The fairway cannot be negotiated.

Shipwreck

Highlight • Structure

In the late 1960s, a ship actually ran aground here. The parts are still lying here, but will probably soon be destroyed by wind and dune.

Great destination for a nice circular hike: From the (bicycle) parking lot at Ostheller along the beach to the shipwreck of the mussel sucker "Capella" (perfect picnic spot - but please bring everything :-)) and back through the dunes, where beautiful, purple beach lilac carpets in summer are to be admired.
Or the other way around - depending on the …

If I counted correctly, it was my 5th hike in the Norderney nature reserve along the deserted beach to the wreck and back through the dunes and across the salt marshes.

Today we have something planned 😴, like a holiday island triathlon 🤭

Small garbage collection campaign included, you've just started 🫣...
Arrived at the wreck …

A great route along the beach to the wreck. We walked at low tide. The way back through the nature reserve is also beautiful, but you should definitely wear dirt and water resistant shoes.
