    The coastal heathland has developed into a new tourist attraction in recent years. It stretches from Cuxhaven-Duhnen, Holte-Spangen, Berensch-Arensch, to Oxstedt, adjacent to the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site, and is unique in its character and extent.

    Extensive heathland landscapes of crowberry, heather, sandy grasslands, heather moors, and scrub forests have been preserved on the coastal geest. It is the largest contiguous heathland on the mainland of the German North Sea coast.

    Beautiful hiking and riding trails lead through the coastal heathland.
