The large letters in a trendy rust look (Corten steel) are an extremely popular photo motif for holidaymakers, especially at sunset. It stands at the transition of the lagoon island.

The NSG Wöhrdener Loch is not a dense forest or a narrow path with spectacular views, but a wide-open, very natural meadow and wetland area. It is especially worth visiting if you want to experience some peace, birdlife, and North German nature "on a grand scale".
