    Hiking

    the route from Sahlenburg (about 10 km) or from Duhnen (about 12.5 km) to Neuwerk on foot through the mudflats is an even more beautiful experience than with the horse-drawn carriage. , ,

    Hiking

    Danger to life:
    the tour can only be managed by well-trained joggers without stopping, there and back.


    You must start in Sahlenburg at least 2 to 2.5 hours before low tide. At a normal walking speed of 5 to 5.5 km/h, it is life-threatening to walk back in the same tide.

    There are deaths almost every year or careless people are rescued by the DLRG.

    Posting the tour as a round trip is gross nonsense and borders on negligent homicide if naive hikers follow the tour.

    Better to return by ship, or stay overnight on the island.
