Island magic at the North Sea

The famous North German wind comes from behind, from the side, but mostly from the front. Above are the clouds, below the mudflats, and in the air, the taste of salt, vastness, infinity. Enjoy carefree vacation days in the port city of Husum, right at the gates of the unique UNESCO World Natural Heritage site Wadden Sea. Here you can experience the spectacle of ebb and flow up close. But it's not just that which makes Husum so special.

Day 3 | Island of Sylt

Today you will take an excursion to the holiday island of Sylt. You will first reach Niebüll by bus. From here, you will take the car train over the Hindenburg Dam to the island of the rich and famous. Fine sandy beaches, rough surf on the west side, and a tranquil Wadden Sea in the east. Pristine dunes and green dikes, blooming heath, and majestic cliffs. During an interesting island tour, you will see the most beautiful spots on the island.

Day 4 | Free Time – Husum Port Days

Today is all yours! Walk in the footsteps of Theodor Storm or enjoy the healthy North Sea climate on the dike. At the Shipping Museum of North Frisia, located directly at the Husum harbor, you will learn more about maritime history, seafaring, and shipbuilding in an extensive exhibition. A detour to the outer harbor, where you can admire crab fishing boats and merchant ships, is also part of a harbor excursion in Husum. The inner harbor is a wonderful place to stroll and watch. Perhaps you will simply enjoy a crab sandwich or Frisian cake in a cozy café or a rustic harbor pub. Visit the largest city event of the year - the Husum Port Days.

Day 5 | Island of Amrum

Your excursion today takes you to the island of Amrum, the “small island of great freedom,” in the Wadden Sea. Our bus will take you to Dagebüll (or Nordstrand). From here, it’s “anchors aweigh” as you sail past six Halligen and two islands to Amrum. With the “Amrum Island Railway,” you will explore the island. In the Frisian village of Nebel, you will make a stop and have the opportunity for an individual lunch break or to visit St. Clemens Church with its sailors' cemetery and its “speaking stones” as well as the Frisian Museum. Nebel unfolds its charm with thatched-roof houses, enchanted alleys, and striking historical buildings. Cafés and small shops contribute to the cozy atmosphere. To conclude, visit Wittdün – here, it’s rarely more than a few steps to the water.
