You can sleep comfortably in the hay here. The café was closed on the day we arrived, so we couldn't try it out.

Onerbäänke (in the plural Onerbäänkin, the German equivalent would be Unterirdische) is the name for a legendary figure from the North Frisian island of Amrum. Similar traditions can also be found on the neighboring islands. The mythological figure can also be found as Oterbaanke (pl. Oterbaankin) on the island of Föhr, as Önereersk (pl. Önereersken) on the island of Sylt and as Enerbanske on Heligoland. The Onerbäänkin (Oterbaankin, Önereersken) are linked to the many burial mounds on the core islands of Amrum, Föhr and Sylt, where, according to tradition, they are said to live underground. Their home is sometimes located on the cliff or in the Wadden Sea. They look like gnomes or dwarves, they depend on the darkness, are often at war with humans and have a preference for metallic objects. Their appearance (red jacket, pointed cap) is partly reminiscent of the legendary figure of Nis Puk, who is also widespread on the islands. A number of folk tales on the islands are connected to the North Frisian underground people. On Amrum, for example, the burial mound Föögashuug, south of Norddorf, is linked to the legend of a rich Onerbäänke[1]. Source Wikipedia

Given the coastal environment, weather can change quickly. We recommend dressing in layers, including waterproof and windproof outer shells. Sturdy, comfortable walking shoes are essential, especially if you plan to explore any sections of the Wadden Sea at low tide. Don't forget sun protection and a hat, even on cloudy days.
