The dune landscape of the island of Borkum is repeatedly interrupted by small mixed forests. The largest forest on the island is the "Greune Stee" (green spot). This is a typical stunted forest.

The natural landscape of Greune Stee is unique on the East Frisian Islands. It lies south of the island and is criss-crossed with numerous cycling and hiking trails. Many dunes and valleys characterize the landscape, as does the large marsh forest with its damp valleys, which in some places looks as if it were an enchanted moor.

Forests are not normally native to the East Frisian Islands. It is all the more astonishing that there is a forest area of around 80 hectares on the southern part of Borkum. In the 1870s there was a depression at this point that was very wet due to groundwater. The good conditions meant that a lot of lush grass grew. For this reason, the farmers and herders called this place "Greune Stee", which means "green place".
