Tönning

Highlight • Settlement

Like the inland port of Husum, the Tönning harbor is tide-dependent and dries out at low tide. In the small fishermen's houses on the harbor pier you will find a wide range of restaurants.

A beautiful tour in Ditmarschen. The Wesselburen Church was particularly special.
The pictures are quite mixed up 🥴

First real day of vacation. Following the coast, heading north. To the Eider Barrage. First, we'll just see if we can get over it by bike. 👍🏻 OK. Then we can also go to St. Peter-Ording. With the extreme elevation profile up here, one battery charge will last us almost the entire vacation 🤣🤣

Today from Büsum cycled the cycle path to the Eider barrage. Very scenic in the national park and long sea views. At the Eidersperre you can, for example, strengthen yourself with a fish sandwich 😋👌. You can also experience how the bridge goes up and the cars, cyclists and pedestrians have to wait until the ship is through. Boat trips …

Hello! There's a stiff breeze blowing this morning! It was a lovely tour from Büsum to the Eider Barrage, then along the Katinger Watt, through Kating and Tönning and then through the fields and villages to Wesselburen, through Reinsbüttel and Westerdeichstrich back to Büsum.
