ノルダーナイの湖・トップ6

A small bridge leads over the "ice pond." In the summer of 2025, either too much ice was removed or there was a lack of water from above. Regardless, the ducks seem to be fine.

The Napoleonschanze is a relic from the Napoleonic occupation. 300 French soldiers were stationed on Norderney to secure their blockade and thus prevent goods from being smuggled into the country from England.

A huge bird area and a beautiful view of the nature reserve and the Wadden Sea! Always beautiful!

Welcome to bird watching at the Südstrandpolder! The Südstrandpolder is of artificial origin: construction of a military airport began here in 1940, but was never completed, with the exception of the dike. Instead, a diverse landscape developed from the former mudflats. Today, the polder is home to extensive bushes and wet heaths, as well as the largest reed beds on the East Frisian Islands. These reed beds and the pond system created in 1988 are home to many species of birds that breed, feed and rest here.

Beautiful swan pond at the Napoleonschanze

Cyclists and pedestrians share the path/dyke here: Mutual consideration from both sides is desirable. You should bring time and binoculars with you here. A huge bird area. Beautiful untouched nature.🦤

Binoculars are definitely worth it for observations (outside)!
