Aha, a regular train station as a highlight... wow Thank you for this great highlight. I didn't realize that I should set every train station as a highlight - as an enrichment for the community. Why should you set a regular train station as a highlight on your bike tour in North Friesland or in Niebüll itself? I can also set the train station in Gelsenkirchen as a hub. A highlight is a high point on a bike tour. Niebüll train station is definitely not one of them.
