Without a sign, you wouldn't notice that you're walking into another country... It's nice how easy this can be these days.

A very beautiful cobbled street, quite bumpy on a bike, but better on foot. Then you have time to admire the beautiful old houses with their magnificent front doors.

The Rickelsbüller Koog is a nature reserve covering approximately 534 hectares in the North Frisian district – the northwesternmost point of mainland Germany lies there, directly on the border dam near Rodenäs-Markhäuser. Since its embankment in 1981 and official designation as a protected area in 1982, it offers a mosaic of wet meadows, reed beds, and inland waters that developed from the former mudflats and salt marshes. For birdwatchers, the Koog is a true paradise: it is one of the most important resting and breeding areas along the Schleswig-Holstein North Sea coast. Species such as pink-footed goose, barnacle goose, redshank, black-tailed godwit, dunlin, knot, and many more rest and breed here in large numbers. Particularly impressive are the now regular sightings of white-tailed eagles – a testament to the ecological importance of the area. The landscape is crisscrossed by easily accessible dikes and observation points, including an observation hut. Ideal for nature lovers: binoculars are a must to experience the vibrant birdlife in action. The circular trail – for example, part of the "WWF Tour – Boundless Birdlife" – runs approximately 13 km through the area, offering extensive experiences of the open landscape and the opportunity to experience the northernmost point of the mainland. The Koog is accessible via Rodenäs: By bike or car, you can reach a free parking area directly next to the dike via the border road. From there, paths lead into the protected area – the clear landscape, the rich birdlife, and the peacefully flowing border make the destination a special natural location.

The mill is located in the center of Højer and at the same time in the heart of the Tønder Marsh, the northernmost part of a large, man-made marshland that extends south into northern Germany and the Netherlands. In the two old granaries, Lille and Stone Spiker, exhibitions and other informational offerings showcase the marsh's origins. You can also learn more about land drainage, dikes, locks, dikes, etc. – and, last but not least, about the unique nature and birdlife of the marshland. The mill itself dates back to 1857. Together with the granaries, the house, and the garden, it forms a well-preserved cultural asset that is part of the Museum Sønderjylland. Højer Mill also has a café.
