St. Peter-Ording Pier

The pier is insane – probably the longest pier on the North Sea – at least I don't know of any longer ones. The surrounding landscape is a dream. It's …

Strandweg St. Peter-Ording

Comfortable and practical at the same time. The path over the footbridge to the stilt houses is good in any weather.

October 7, 2025,Strandspaziergang und Dünenwanderung in St. Peter-Ording 🦀

After a short stay in North Friesland, I took the train to Hamburg and waited there for my connecting train south. Killing time in Hamburg wasn't really difficult for me. 😏 Check out "my Hamburg evening tour" if you're interested! 😉

The tide was higher than normal due to the storm, flooding the sandbank. The storm blew strongly and blew the sand across the beach.

The Eiderstedt peninsula used to belong to Denmark. Until 1864 the river Eider was the border.
In 1911 the first stilt house was built. The beach is up to 12 km long and can be up to 2 km wide at low tide.
We chose rubber boots today, so we could easily cross a few tidal creeks.

In bright sunshine, we set off from the village of St. Peter over the dike towards St. Peter Bad. There we stopped at Gosch Sylt (unfortunately, the food sat heavily in our stomachs the rest of the way). We then went through …

April 22, 2023,2023-04-22_Sankt Peter-Ording ❤️ The last walk

Saturday 22042023 and that's it folks. Finally, the longest tour on foot in Sankt Peter-Ording in the best weather - at the top 23 degrees, total madness. However, the ☀️ only came out to a limited extent for a long time, only later, around 4 p.m., did it get sooooooo nice.

Tomorrow we're going home, back at work on Monday.

October 8, 2023,Große Rundtour durch SPO

We can highly recommend the tour to anyone who would like a varied tour through SPO. It goes through a wide variety of vegetation zones, through the districts of Bad, Ording and Dorf and of course over the great beach. The starting point for us was the hotel's favorite place. Of course you can get in anywhere. We wish you …
