Bicycle Boardwalk to Ording Beach

The pier is one of three ways to reach the sandbar of St. Peter by bike. A little caution is advised on the sandy and sometimes slippery wooden dock.

Brilliantly done!! Pedestrians and beavers are on separate footbridges.. great! 😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

The individual districts of St. Peter-Ording already differed from other coastal towns in ancient times. Due to the extremely strong sand drift, no harbor could be established here - so no fishing was possible. Agriculture, on which the former population lived, was also difficult, as the lands were often salinated or silted up by flooding.
In 1877 the first hotel in the municipality was built. That was the beginning of a successful career at St. Peter Ordings as a seaside resort. The first sanatorium was opened in 1913 after the Köhlbrand house was founded as a children's recreation home in 1911.
When a strong source of iodine brine was found in 1953 and it was recognized as a North Sea therapeutic and sulfur bath, patients both large and small were increasingly sent to St. Peter-Ording for a cure. House Köhlbrand was the first of a total of 35 children's rest homes in the village.
