Büsum
Gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea
Büsum, a spa town and former fishing village, is located directly on the North Sea. Idyllically situated between the dikes and the marshland. Here you can still experience nature; you can smell the sea, the mudflats, or observe the wildlife. Taste the salt of the fresh sea air on your lips during a walk along the North Sea promenade.

4th Day | Cabbage, Storm Surge, and North Frisia
After breakfast, head to Wesselburen to the Kohlosseum in the former sugar factory. It houses not only a small museum on cabbage cultivation but also a cabbage workshop and a shop with specialties around cabbage. Then continue to the Eidersperrwerk, the largest coastal protection structure in Germany. A short walk on the dam allows you to experience the size and brilliance of this engineering masterpiece. Or take a look at the lively tern colony at the Eidersperrwerk. Continue to Tönning with its picturesque harbor, inviting you for a walk or a coffee break. In Friedrichstadt, the “Little Amsterdam,” discover the old town shaped by Dutch architecture with gabled houses and canals. On the way back to the hotel, there will be a short stop at the Gender Cemetery in Lunden, a special testament to Dithmarschen's history.
5th Day | Hallig Hooge
Today you will reach Schlüttsiel by bus. From here, you will take a Hallig ship through the shallow waters of the Wadden Sea, past the seal banks, the charming Halligen, and their lonely farms to Hallig Hooge. Upon arrival on the island, you can explore the island individually during a small walk. Perhaps you will also visit the experience center “Mensch & Watt” and experience the diverse relationship between humans and nature in the Halligen biosphere and the national park.
(Excursion dependent on tide times, changes to the day and/or program schedule may be possible.)

Sea buckthorn, salt marshes, and a large variety of birds offer beauty to the eye and peace to the soul. After Marne, continue to Brunsbüttel. The Nord-Ostsee Canal, the most navigated waterway in the world, impresses especially in Brunsbüttel with its large lock facilities. Here, the giants of the seas are within reach, and the view of the Elbe, lock, and canal is impressive. In the afternoon, you will make a stop in Meldorf with its impressive and far-visible cathedral. Stroll through the small streets of the Citta-Slow town and visit one of the small cafés in the town.
