Today's tour included a bike ride along the coast. First to the Pilsum lighthouse ("Otto Tower"), then to Germany's tallest lighthouse in Campen.

Always along the dike.

There was a small natural beach, Rysum with its mill and church organ. The final stop was Greetsiel with its harbor, shrimp boats, and twin mills.
