    🐑💚✨ Sheep on the dike path are the absolute stars of the East Frisian coast and the fluffiest encounters you can experience in the saddle! The cozy four-legged friends belong to the dike like salt belongs to the sea – they are not only a beautiful photo opportunity, but also fulfill a vital task for the entire region.

    The most important coastal protectors of East Frisia: sheep are not here for fun, but are in the hard service of coastal protection. With their hooves, they continuously compact the dike soil, making it stable against storm surges. At the same time, they keep the grass short as living "lawnmowers" so that the turf remains dense. 🛡️🌾
