アムルム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

There is a viewing platform here with a great view over the dunes and the North Sea.

Very worth seeing, but opening hours are quite limited outside of the season. When the weather is nice, the view is worth it.

The area was designated as a nature reserve number 10 in 1936. In the same year, a thatched bird keeper's house was built in a dune valley, which still exists today. The Jordsand Association has been responsible for maintaining the area since 1941. To prevent a sea breach, a short dike was built lengthways at the narrowest point in the south of the Odde in 1955. In 1970 the NSG was expanded.

The Amrumer Odde is around two kilometers long and an average of 150 to 200 meters wide. It mainly consists of a dune belt up to 24 meters high. The Odde was created by the Kniepsand, which migrates steadily to the east or northeast. Around 150 hectares of the Odde are designated as a nature reserve, which is looked after by the Jordsand Association. Officially it is referred to as the “Nordspitze Amrum nature reserve on the island of Amrum in the Südtondern district” or as “Amrum-Odde”. The Odde serves as a nesting place for numerous seabirds. Therefore, during breeding season it is only allowed to move around the coastline. The Odde includes a gravel-covered spit, the actual northern tip of Amrum.

Amrum has the oldest and highest lighthouse on the North Sea coast. There are still around 90 beacons of different designs in operation on the German North and Baltic Sea coasts. Beacons are still indispensable for shipping today, especially if satellite navigation fails. The Amrum lighthouse is not only the oldest and highest, but also one of the most famous beacons on the west coast of Schleswig-Holstein. The tower itself is 42 meters high and 68 meters with its peak, the "height of the light" is 63 m. Until 1952 the lighthouse was painted dark red and only then was it given its current coat of lighter red with two white rings. The Amrum lighthouse has already appeared twice on Deutsche Post stamps. https://www.andreas-doelz.de/amrum-wahrzeichen/leuchtturm/

Beautiful tower, beautiful island!

The Amrum lighthouse is always worth a trip, but closes Monday - Friday at 12:30 p.m.

My last class trip went to Amrum and it was really great. Visiting the lighthouse was very interesting and the fresh crabs straight from the cutter, which we had to pick ourselves, were delicious.
