Very spacious main beach of Borkum with a great promenade, cafes and restaurants. If you are lucky, you can see seals with the naked eye on the sandbank opposite, just a few hundred meters away.

Hooge Hörn Beach and Dunes

Highlight • Beach

Peace and only the sound of the sea. A great place to pause for thought. As an additional advantage you can see that the network coverage for mobile data is no longer too good there.

Hooge Hörn means something like "elevated corner". The easternmost corner of Borkum is a nature reserve because many breeding and resting birds find a habitat here. So stay on the path so as not to disturb the birds.

Waterdelle Nature Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Very dense and shady forest. The small trees form a kind of tunnel here, very beautiful and also interesting due to the additional information boards.

October 7, 2024,Borkum - Hoge Hörn und der wilde Osten 🌊🌤️

Today we went over endless sandy beaches to the Hoge Hörn in the unspoilt eastern part of the island and back through salt marshes and small forests. As a reward we had sea buckthorn cake 😊 Beautiful!

April 7, 2025,Dünenbutje, Hogge Hörn und Sturmeck - eine große Borkum-Schleife

A beautiful walk in glorious sunshine. The path across the beach to Hooge Hörn is a long one, but fascinating because you're mostly alone in what seems like an endless expanse. Recommended stops include the Dünenbutje and Café Sturmeck with its wonderful sun terrace!

A great tour towards Ostland and back along the beach. The path is shared with cyclists at the beginning. This is also due to the time of year. Most of the route is in blazing sun with no shade. Be sure to wear sunscreen. There are a few beer gardens and restaurants along the route that invite you to stop …

August 30, 2021,Hooge Hörn, Salzwiesen,Dünen.

Hooge Hörn is located to the east in the conservation area of Spitze Borkum.
It's a huge, great beach with a Caribbean feel.
Here you will find peace and heavenly silence, a place where you can relax.
We continued through great salt marshes and dunes.
On the beach we found a huge fish that was stranded (unfortunately already dead).
