ビューズムの湖・トップ15

Onward to Büsum or Friedrichskoog, you'll automatically pass the harbor. It's beautifully paved. If you need a break, stop at the snack bar.

Wonderful place, we come here at least once a year.

In principle, a nice idea for braving the tide and thus the lack of water at low tide. It's just not for cyclists passing through, as reckless, selfish cyclists have managed to push their bikes during the bathing season by ignoring the rules, so that bicycles are now completely banned from the areas around Büsum where you can see the water (or rather, the mudflats). According to my information, violating this ban is supposed to result in severe penalties, as the 'beach patrols' immediately call the police if a bicycle appears near the shore. They made an exception for my folded Brompton… 😉

The skyscraper still doesn’t fit

A small detour is necessary to stay on the dike, but it's worth seeing once you've had your fill of the mudflats.

the most beautiful cycle paths ✅🚲—Tours go along the waterline, the coast or along the dike, like the one here in the highlight

beautiful view of the nature reserve "Wöhrdener Loch" The 495 hectare “Wöhrdener Loch” in the north of the Meldorfer Speicherkoog is one of the two nature reserves that were created to compensate for the loss of around 1560 hectares of sandy tidal flats and around 900 hectares of foreland and salt marsh areas as a result of the diking. In contrast to the southern "Kronenloch", the "Wöhrdener Loch" is cut off from the salt water flow. The aim was to create a freshwater biotope in this area as a breeding, feeding and resting place for endangered bird species. https://www.schutzstation-wattenmeer.de/unsere-stations/meldorfer-speicherkoog/nsg-woehrdener-loch/

South of the new Meldorf harbor is the 532-hectare Kronenloch nature reserve. Here, for the first time, a saltwater biotope with a tidal influence was created on the west coast within a dike. In the now designated wilderness area (Natura 2000) the goal is: “Let nature be nature”. https://www.schutzstation-wattenmeer.de/unsere-stations/meldorfer-speicherkoog/nsg-kronenloch/
