Aha, a regular train station as a highlight... wow Thank you for this great highlight. I didn't realize that I should set every train station as a highlight - as an enrichment for the community. Why should you set a regular train station as a highlight on your bike tour in North Friesland or in Niebüll itself? I can also set the train station in Gelsenkirchen as a hub. A highlight is a high point on a bike tour. Niebüll train station is definitely not one of them.

The Niebüll water tower is a historic structure built in 1908 to supply water to the steam locomotives of the Marschbahn. It is the only remaining structure of its kind along this route and was expanded in 1926 with a larger reinforced concrete head. After operations ceased in 1972, the tower began to decay and was even on the verge of demolition. However, thanks to the commitment of Sven Vogt and the Nordfriesland-Nord district trade association, the tower was saved and extensively renovated. Today it serves as a unique one-room hotel and offers its guests exceptional accommodation on four levels with a panoramic view of the station area.
