In winter, Schillig beach is ideal for bird watching. Due to the wind, only a few songbirds can be found. We were happy with the blackbird, meadow pipit, robin and skylark.

Target species were sanderlings, turnstones and crested larks on the North Sea. We were able to observe all three species up close.

The small marina is idyllically located between the Horumersiel bathing beach and the Wadden Sea National Park. There is a small fish snack bar at the harbor.

According to a legend from the 16th century, a mermaid was taken captive by fishermen. In revenge, she destroyed the dyke and the village during the church service with a storm surge. Since 1992, the attractive bronze sculpture has stood on a base with its back to the sea and a proud view of the church in the town of Minsen. The sculpture is a very popular photo motif in Wangerland and also adorns the coat of arms of Wangerland.
