Bench with a view of Varel Harbor and the lock

Highlight • Viewpoint

There is now a snack bar at the “Aal & Krabbe” restaurant at the front of the harbor (galley). This now appears to be the "replacement" for the former fish shop across the street.

The route was very monotonous, always straight on a paved dike path and the way back mostly along a road. Okay as a bike tour, not recommended on foot 🤷🏼‍♀️ in my opinion. Unfortunately it was low tide again, I always have bad luck on the North Sea, sigh.
I still managed to get some nice photos. 😉
