North Sea Cycle Path near Hooksiel and Horumersiel

Highlight • Cycleway

Before the dike the cycle path was closed due to some construction work.

Behind the dike the sheep were very active and the route was really crappy.

Hooksiel Pedestrian Zone

Highlight • Settlement

A visit to the pedestrian zone is worthwhile, especially not only about the people, but also about the animals. There are water bowls to drink everywhere.

Great tour in the best weather.
In some places we had to push because cycling was forbidden.
The reward is crab rolls.
