Schillig and Horumersiel were the goal of today's 🚲 bike tour. The path always led us along the dike with a view of the Wadden Sea, past countless 🐑 who were not always willing to make room for us cyclists, nowhere is it more beautiful than at the game gates/rusts 😁

Today our destination was Carolinensiel.
In glorious sunshine, we drove right along the dike, where we observed hundreds of sheep and even more birds.
Once we arrived in Carolinensiel, we visited the beach and then headed back... It was beautiful 🤩
