Hooksiel Outer Harbor

Highlight • Structure

From the outer harbor you have a good view of the Jade-Weser-Port and can reward yourself with delicious fish sandwiches.

Hooksiel Lock and Bascule Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Although the lock is particularly important for water sports enthusiasts, a visit to the structure is also a real experience for other guests.
The sea lock in Hooksiel connects the North Sea with the tide-independent Hooksmeer. There is a wide range of activities for water sports enthusiasts here: the water ski lift and a surfing school are just a few of them. The Hooksiel Marina is also located there. In order for the boats to reach the marina from the North Sea, they have to go through a lock.

The water level is raised or lowered in the lock chamber so that the pleasure boats and smaller ships can overcome the different water levels of the North Sea and the Hooksmeer. The impressive process can best be observed from the seats to the side of the bascule bridge. During a lock, the bridge is folded up so that the sailing boats with their masts can also pass through the structure. The process is particularly exciting when there are many boats in the lock chamber at the same time.

Hooksieht Forest Trail

Highlight • Trail

If the paths on the northwestern side of the lake are too busy for you, this is the right place for you. An approx. 2 km single trail which then turns into an approx. 2.5 km long forest path and leads from the old harbor to the outer harbor. The path is almost exclusively in the forest and therefore still wet in places even in the summer months. Not recommended with clean clothes.

Now there was a flock of sheep in the way - passage with dogs was forbidden. The first time the bridge of the lock was closed due to maintenance work

Hooksiel and Hookmeer - one way there, the other way back - that was the plan... at the end of the way there was an insurmountable barrier, so we went back almost the same way and we're missing half of it 😒 Extremely unfortunate, and incomprehensible, no closure was foreseeable from the start...
