The northernmost point on the German mainland is unfortunately not very attractive and unremarkable visually, but it is all the more so historically and geographically, making it an absolute highlight. The northernmost point in Germany is the Ellenbogen on Sylt.
The access to the Rickelsbüller Koog and the Margarehe Kog is at the Norddeich-Sieltoft border crossing and is also the northernmost point on the German mainland.
For a long time, the westernmost border post of all border crossings between Germany and Denmark was also the most inhospitable. Anyone who worked here felt like they were being transferred. The brutal weather during the winter storms in particular caused problems for the border guards. Today, the small border house and the disused barrier are a reminder of that time. This border crossing is now monitored using scanners and cameras. And mobile patrols now carry out their duties at the former outer dike on an irregular basis.
The Rickelsbüller Koog is located on the Germany-Denmark border route and is the starting point of the North Sea-Baltic Sea cycle path. From here you can reach the tranquil and picturesque Danish village of Højer via the Norddeich Sieltoft border crossing.

The fence was built by Denmark in 2019 as protection against African swine fever

It is not possible to continue driving directly on the dike. Turn right and drive along the border fence then follows a parallel path to Hoyer/DK. Nice information hut about the bird world.
