It's quite a magnificent sight. Not beautiful, but impressive. Stopping and pausing to take it in can't hurt.

I always enjoy driving along the coastal roads. I like the peace and quiet there. But be careful when the ground is damp. When rain mixes with sheep droppings, it gets very slippery.

Good opportunity to cross the Maade River. I saw four curlews there today. I wasn't expecting that. 👍🏻

It's worth taking a break here and letting your gaze wander over the sea from above.

During its heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries, it was East Frisia's second-largest sluice and trading port. Today, traditional flat-bottomed sailing ships anchor here. The harbor is a place with a special charm.
