Sheep on the North Sea Dike

Highlight • Natural

By the end of March, there are already plenty of lambs. Along the dike, you're right in the middle of it. Ride carefully, as they cross right in front of your bike. There are many barriers to negotiate.

August 11, 2024,🐑 von Garding über Westerhever und Tümlauer Bucht ⛵️bis SPO🏖

Where do you go on the weekend during the holiday season without getting into too much of a crowd?
We decided on a coastal tour - the situation is usually relaxed on the dike.
To avoid the full parking lots, we started in Garding, where happy people were visiting garden flea markets everywhere. We, on the other hand, cycled to …

Unfortunately, the tour was recorded incorrectly... if we were Jesus, the onward journey / return journey across the water of the Tümmlauer Koog could be correct... but we're not 😂😂😂

Cycling is definitely better than hiking in this area! 😉😆 The cycle path went 15km behind or in front of the dike to the lighthouse. The Westerhever lighthouse is rightly a famous postcard motif! He really shines in the sky! Behind the dike, a canal accompanies cyclists. We returned via country roads in the Tümlauer Koog, which were often decorated …

Last week in Jever🍺 (see picture 1) and today after NF at best 🌤😎 17🌡 and hardly 🌬. The start was in Sankt-Peter Ording and of course the first thing to do was to visit the stilt houses. Then we went to the famous lighthouse (Jever advertising). You could have visited the tower, but unfortunately only with advance notice. Tickets …

Today I grabbed a bike and set off. Given the windy coastal conditions, I opted for the e-bike option.
It's a pretty old bike, but it did the job.
Thanks to the early start, there was hardly anything going on, and then I took the opportunity to climb the 160 steps at the lighthouse.
