Planetary Trail Along the North Sea Dike

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The path runs right along the coast and offers beautiful views and information boards about the planets. The path is a bit difficult for walking because the path has a side slope.

North Sea Dike Cycling Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Great racing bike path along - on the water side - of the dike.
But be careful - sheep droppings - depending on the "pasture order"! 😉

Always nice along the dike. However, today without the people employed for the Määäääah work.

After listening to a shanty choir in the harbor of Neuharlingersiel in the morning, we cycled to Bensersiel in the afternoon because I was feeling well. I made it through it all. 👍🏻😄

Nice easy bike ride from Bensersiel along the planet path to Neuharlingersiel, where the (today dwarf planet) Pluto is located near the beautiful harbor. Treat to strengthen and then back. Always between the dike and the North Sea!

Finally back in Bensersiel. Rolling my new knee to Neuharlingersiel, I'm going to have a dream ride. With the tide rising and the sun shining, it was a dream. On the way back, I had to battle the wind quite a bit. I can tell I'm still lacking muscle mass. 😉 Oh well. I'm here by bike to build up …

Neuharlingersiel surprised us greatly: such a beautiful little town with a picturesque harbor where …

2 years without a real vacation. Man, I missed the sea. Arrived, unpacked, shopped, ate and off we went. And where to? To the harbor in Neuharlingersiel, of course. Had a strong headwind on the way there. But the way back was easy.
It was just beautiful.
