Beautiful, large pitch for RVs, campers, cars with roof tents, and caravans. Right next to the nature reserve, surrounded by forest and meadows. 800m to the beach (walk through the reserve). The restroom and seating areas at the nearby parking lot are available for use. Perfect for any outdoor camping enthusiast, as it's a great starting point for a hike.

Nice little themed trail, a bit dated, maybe it should be renovated a bit, but it's sure to be a highlight for the kids on their way to the beach.

Funny idea, but unfortunately a bit outdated and in need of a general overhaul.

This dune is called Sanddynen on hiking maps and is 25 meters high. The 94 steps leading up are beautifully laid out and make the climb to the viewing platform easier. At the summit is a wooden platform with a railing and two wooden seating areas. From up here, you have a beautiful view over the nature reserve to the sea. It's also sure to be a great experience with children, as the path from the hiking parking lot is manageable for everyone. It's best to leave bicycles and strollers down below; I once got soaked in sweat while pulling our stroller up. Dogs should be kept on a leash because the dune is located in the nature reserve.
