Capella (Pionier) shipwreck

Highlight • Monument

not far from the shipwreck you have a beautiful view of Baltrum.
It seems to be within walking distance, but be careful! The fairway cannot be negotiated.

Shipwreck

Highlight • Structure

In the late 1960s, a ship actually ran aground here. The parts are still lying here, but will probably soon be destroyed by wind and dune.

With some "volunteers" along the middle path to the wreck and back along the beach.

Unspoilt nature, rusty shipwreck and sandy paths.

If I counted correctly, it was my 5th hike in the Norderney nature reserve along the deserted beach to the wreck and back through the dunes and across the salt marshes.

There is no sign of boredom. The seasons and times of day, ebb and flow and the play of the water and wind with the sand always create variety …

Today we have something planned 😴, like a holiday island triathlon 🤭
First we cycled 8 km to the last parking lot, from there we always walked along the beach, wonderful. The low tide gave us a few more kilometers as we walked along the water's edge...
Small garbage collection campaign included, you've just started 🫣...
Arrived at the wreck …

A great route along the beach to the wreck. We walked at low tide. The way back through the nature reserve is also beautiful, but you should definitely wear dirt and water resistant shoes.

My longest stretch this year 💪
It was probably exhausting on the sandy and uneven ground, but again a good workout to tie in with old times 😉
The weather was just great today 🌞😊👍
