Highlight (Segment) • Natural

Also on this section you can see huge flocks of geese and a group of spoonbills, as well as other species of birds. As the path passes close to nature, you get close to the animals without disturbing them.

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.

February 24, 2026,🌊 Das Leyhörner Sieltief - Runde von Greetsiel

After the shorter hikes of the last few days, which were a test run since one of us had a knee replacement and the other a slipped disc, we ventured out on a longer route again today. The weather was fantastic and we felt fit.

May 7, 2024,Naturschutzgebiet Leybucht > Pilsumer Leuchtturm > Schleuse Leysiel 🐑🐑

A beautiful hike through the Leybucht nature reserve.
The path leads for kilometers along the dike to the Otto lighthouse near Pilsum and then on to the lock at Leysiel.
The return journey continues behind the dike through the quiet Leybucht nature reserve!
Birdsong and geese chattering, very idyllic! And of course the dike sheep cannot be missed! 🐑👫🌾🍀

Don't go over the bridge because it's still …

April 2, 2022,Wanderung von Greetsiel zur Schleuse und zurück 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️

A nice blustery but dry hike. On the way there we lost the hotel key, so we had to take the same route for a whole part of the way back. Luckily we found the 🗝️ again.
Outside of town it is almost deserted, but there are plenty of geese in the nature reserve.
