Sandwater
The 23-hectare shallow lake is the landmark of the village of Simonswolde. Nestled in the nature reserve of the same name, it is one of East Frisia's most valuable biotopes – a natural gem with rare flora and fauna. An ideal destination for nature lovers, birdwatchers, or those simply looking for a place to unwind and take a breather. Use the observation tower to survey the unspoiled area, absorb the beauty of this place, and snap a few idyllic landscape photos for your vacation album.
