A quaint name, top quality and cult in this area, everyone knows Calli. There are people in the town of Leck in North Friesland who plan their annual vacation during Calli Schaschlik's company holidays. They don't want to miss out on the culinary offerings of their cult snack bar for a single day. Because everything they get at Calli, often after a long line, is made by hand. "I can't believe how patiently some customers wait until it's finally their turn," marvels the trained chef and junior manager Christian Paulsen. For more than 50 years, in the third generation, the Paulsens have been sizzling for their customers right on the main street in Leck. It all started with Grandpa Calli. He fried the first Lecker Schaschlik. Grandpa Calli is no more, but his name is honored, which is important to the Paulsens. The family is part of their recipe for success. Because whether you're a local Lecker or a vacationer, at Calli Schaschlik everyone feels like they're at their mother's stove. https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/die_nordreportage/Lecker-Kult-Calli-Eine-Familie-lebt-Imbiss,sendung1288264.html

The St. Jürgen Church in Nordhackstedt is a simple Romanesque stone building from the 12th century. The granite baptismal font also dates from this period. In 1897, the single-nave church interior with a rectangular chancel was extended to the west and a tower was added. The wide Gothic chancel arch is decorated with late Gothic paintings. You can see red tendrils with dotted rosettes, including a depiction of the Last Supper in rectangular fields on the northern arch reveal and the Fall of Man on the southern side. The painting was discovered in 1926 and uncovered and restored in 1927. Above the chancel arch one finds the 1284 carved in oak Passion series with crucifix in a rectangular frame as almost three-dimensionally carved groups of figures from twice four arched arcades with reliefs. Also worth seeing is the sculpture of Saint Anna Selbdritt, sitting on a wide bench, from the late 15th century and the late Gothic standing figure of the crowned Mary, who is holding the naked Child Jesus with her left hand and raising her right hand in blessing. Today, Saint Anna Selbdritt can be found on a console next to the chancel arch, Mary with the Child Jesus in the niche of the walled-up north portal.

Schlüttsiel is not only a ferry port, but also a great place for a break. There is a beautiful meadow with many benches with a great view of the North Sea. There is also a bathing area here.
