The picture-book village Greetsiel in East Frisia is a wonderful travel destination for a vacation on the North Sea in Germany. Stroll through cobblestone streets past idyllic brick houses to the harbor. East Friesland's largest fleet of shrimp cutters is located here. With a little luck you can watch the fishermen unloading.

Who does not know it, the famous lighthouse of East Frisia. A must see when vacationing in the area. Always worth seeing for me when I'm there.

View of the Greetsiel twin windmills

The twin mills are a must for every tourist. Not far in the center of Greetsiel there are other interesting sights.

Greetsiel Twin Windmills

Highlight • Monument

In one of the mills you can eat (I think there is coffee and cake there), the other one can be visited from bottom to top and the original mechanics of the mill can be seen. There is also a souvenir shop and a small shop with regional products and very tasty bread.

By bike towards the lighthouse. Always drove to Greetsiel against the wind. On the way back to Norddeich we drove against the wind again‼️🌬🌬🌬🌞⛅️👍

Next time the outward and return journeys would be the same. Then you wouldn't have to cycle along the main road. 😤 And today the beach in Norddeich was so full. 😳 I'm sure it will be nicer on another day. 🤔

Not surprised. The last detour was the way to Cleen Park. Since it rained the whole way back, we had to wash off all the sheep filth

A strong wind blew along the coast felt like a mountain tour here in the Black Forest, but where it goes up, it also goes down again🤭. With a tailwind from the Otto Tower, it was more pleasant but you felt the heat more. In Greetsiel EKS at Cafe & Restaurant GEZEITEN the 🍔 burgers are awesome. The crossing with …

We cycle through the Westermarsch region, with its vast fields and numerous sluices that divert the water from the drainage ditches through the dikes into the North Sea, but prevent seawater from entering the inland. Arriving at the sluice lock, we are diverted along the road to Greetsiel due to construction work on the dike path, and thus arrive in …

Not “murdering in the north”, but biking in the north. Well, at least we started and ended the tour in the north. The two big highlights were the beautiful village of Greetsiel and the “Extra Frisian Lighthouse” known from the film Otto the Extra Frisian. Based on the quote - In Friesland they say sh... It should be noted that …
