Historic Sluice at Greetsiel

Highlight • Monument

Greetsiel is a beautiful, small town and part of the municipality of Krummhörn. There are a lot of older houses. The harbor with its shrimp cutters is particularly worth seeing. In the season, however, Greetsiel is very busy.

Pretty harbour with a growing tourist stream..... Reward for the difficult-to-walk-on dike: Kibbelinge in the fish restaurant De Beer. Recommendation from the landlady. The price/performance ratio is right here.... They say that the East Frisians have one leg shorter than the other, so they can walk better on the dike.... 😁

I spent my free time between treatments in Greetsiel today. In the summer it was sooooo crowded that I didn't see anything while I was running, so I wanted to make up for that.
Well... it's just a North Sea (tourist) place. Food stalls next to restaurants, döner shops and so on... but the path along the old dike was …

Always beautiful!

Komoot "kindly" marked a ferry connection through Greetsiel harbor on the map for us! 😁
Today's walk was supposed to also take us to the Pilsum lighthouse, but due to the dog ban, …

Today we took advantage of the good weather in the morning and made a detour to Greetsiel. We parked a little outside so that we could walk there over the dike. On the way, a local resident spoke to us and told us about the storm surge in 1962, which he had experienced as a child. Unfortunately, we couldn't do …

Unfortunately, you can't get to the Pilsum lighthouse with a dog because of the sheep on the dike. The dogs can use the bathing lake for refreshment.⭐️⭐️⭐️
