🐑✨ The dike sheep are the unsung heroes of the East Frisian coast and are as much a part of the landscape from Norddeich to Ostermarsch as the ebb and flow of the tide. They are far more than just a beautiful photo opportunity – they are irreplaceable partners in coastal protection.

🌾🐑🌊It's a fascinating cycle of nature: While the sheep enjoy lush grass, they ensure that we can sleep safely and dry behind the dike. A heartfelt "baa" is the best thank you for their tireless work!
