Eastern Friesland – Island Hopping with charm

Exploring the Wadden Sea National Park

8 Days / 7 Nights
Easy
Langeoog beach

The Frisian Islands have their own charm, their own character. The wide sea, the waves and beaches coin the island Borkum, Norderney and Langeoog. High‐sea climate on Borkum, the calm on Norderney and the almost car free Langeoog. Extreme is the charm of North‐Germany, extreme but cordial.

Itinerary at a glance

The East Frisian Islands of Borkum, Norderney, and Langeoog are stunning. One is a tranquil North Sea spa, another offers a wide range of leisure activities, and the last is car-free with a beautiful 14-kilometer-long sandy beach. East Frisia presents a diverse experience; come and enjoy!

You will have enough time to discover Emden with its harbour, the arte hall and the “Otto” house.

By ferry in two hours to the island of Borkum (incl.), biggest Eastern Friesland Island with offshore climate. Explore the island on 130 km bike paths or cycle along the 26 km long sandy beach. Relaxation pure! In the late afternoon you go back to Emden where you stay overnight again.

You cycle to picturesque fisher village Greetsiel, the biggest crab-fisher port of Weser-Ems-region. Don’t pass by without having a couple of fresh shrimps. Past the bay of Ley – where you might be lucky to spot seals – you cycle to Norden.

By ferry in one hour to the island of Norderney which is the oldest health‐bath on the North Sea and has been sought after for more than 200 years by persons looking for recuperation. This island is ideally suited to be explored by bicycle. Enjoy the island, the beach‐life and National Park Wattenmeer (mud‐flats).

Along old fortresses you cycle to Dornum with its beautiful water castle and on to Bensersiel. From there you go by ferry to the island of Langeoog. Enjoy your two overnights on this car‐free island!  

Traffic jams, exhaust gases, chorus of horns – all these things you won’t find on the car-free island Langeoog, where singer Lale Andersen (Lili Marleen) used to live. Whereas unique sand dunes which are sometimes over 20 metres high, healthy air and … of course lots of opportunities for cycling, sunbathing and hiking on the beach.

Back to the mainland by ferry. From Bensersiel you cycle to Aurich, former capital of Eastern Friesland. You keep going along the Ems jade canal which leads you nearly car-free to Emden.
