Free view over the Wadden Sea in the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Wattenmeer National Park Change of water, mudflats, sky – constantly changing light moods Dyke line as a panoramic path (perfect for cycling) Wind, vastness, seagulls – this typical North Sea feeling that you don't get in town Depending on the tide, a completely different landscape (water surface vs. endless mudflat area)

Onward to Büsum or Friedrichskoog, you'll automatically pass the harbor. It's beautifully paved. If you need a break, stop at the snack bar.

From wind force 6 and tailwind, you have to be careful. The asphalt can be tough.
