The following text is from Faltenriese:

"It's certainly interesting to occasionally follow other hikers' routes; on the one hand, to have similar experiences along the way as the previous hiker, but on the other hand, also because you see things differently. The weather and the time of day also influence the lighting.

The trail continues for about 1.5 km through the dune landscape to the "Himmelsleiter" dune. From the top of the dune, you have a fantastic view of the expanse of Kniepsand beach and, to the rear, of the blooming heather in the dunes. We were even lucky enough to spot some pheasants, barely visible in the heath.

This tour is not about making a quick route, but rather enjoying the different landscapes of Amrum in a small space: the largest forest on a North Sea island, the blooming heather along the plank paths, the dune landscape with the Ice Age excavations, the cross-brand fire, the huge (!!!) beach, on which it is never full, the sea, which …

First, our tour takes us to the viewing dune.
The highest viewing dune on the island of Amrum is the 32 meter high viewing dune "A Siatler" near Norddorf.

"A Siatler" means "Setter dune".
The viewing dune can be reached from the southern outskirts of Norddorf, just before the turnoff of the cycle path to Vogelkoje via the Bohlenweg.
