Hiking
Büsum was first documented as an island (Bivsne) in 1140. Severe storm surges (such as the "Mandränke" of 1362 and 1634) drastically altered the coastline. It wasn't until 1585 that Büsum was permanently connected to the mainland by the construction of a causeway (today known as the "Alter Seedeich"). As part of the land reclamation process, new polders (reclaimed land) were gradually created, shifting the original dike lines inland.
