View of the Salt Marshes

Highlight • Viewpoint

The salt marshes offer a lot of variety. Because here it is not just meadows but habitats for many animals and plants.

Very nice bike paths. The only thing that can stop you here are the sheep 🐑 and possibly the long-term headwind 🌬

The path is difficult to navigate, there is no way on the other side of the dam, there is only a dirt path

St. Martin's Church, Osterhever

Highlight • Religious Site

The small late Romanesque church of St. Martin stands on a terp in the middle of Osterhever. Terps are landscape elevations that originally served to protect against severe storm surges.

Church tower with one of the largest bells on Eiderstedt
The interior of the church is rather clear and simple, so the Gothic triumphal cross, the carved altar from 1520 and the baptismal font with the angel hovering above it all come into their own. One of the largest bells on the Eiderstedt peninsula is located in the bell tower. The tombstone from 1583 fixed under the organ gallery shows very nicely the costumes from the former cultural heyday of Eiderstedt.

St. Stephanus Church Westerhever

Highlight • Religious Site

Not far from the outer dike and the striking lighthouse is the church of St. Stephanus Westerhever on a high mound. The tower, built around 1370, is the oldest church tower in western Eiderstedt. The nave, on the other hand, was rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century and is therefore much younger.
