Low German for "Green Place" - part of an old dune landscape on Borkum. The Greune Stee is a transitional area between dunes, forest, and heath. It is considered one of the few areas on the East Frisian Islands where natural dune forest has developed. Typical features include: • Dune landscape with partially vegetated sand dunes • Deciduous and coniferous forest (e.g., birch, pine, oak) • Heath and grassland areas • Protected habitats for numerous bird species and insects When using the area, especially the paved paths, please be mindful of the many slow walkers, some with dogs. You should slow down. Best viewpoint: Herrmannshöhe at the corner of Greune Stee Weg and Jakob van Dyken Weg.

Watt for watt. Great view

In earlier times, fresh and salt water flowed together in the Lauwerszee. Fear of flooding led to the construction of a dam in 1969. A beautiful new landscape emerged on the former seabed, a true bird paradise. The nature in the Lauwersmeer is so unique that the area has been designated a National Park. Visitors are welcome day and night.

Super tour, sometimes quite a headwind

The Lauwersmeer is a truly idyllic place, there are beautiful cycle paths leading there and you can find many beaches where you can go to the harbour or where you can take a break.

Wide landscape, dominated by water.

The natural landscape of Greune Stee is unique on the East Frisian Islands. It lies south of the island and is criss-crossed with numerous cycling and hiking trails. Many dunes and valleys characterize the landscape, as does the large marsh forest with its damp valleys, which in some places looks as if it were an enchanted moor. Forests are not normally native to the East Frisian Islands. It is all the more astonishing that there is a forest area of around 80 hectares on the southern part of Borkum. In the 1870s there was a depression at this point that was very wet due to groundwater. The good conditions meant that a lot of lush grass grew. For this reason, the farmers and herders called this place "Greune Stee", which means "green place".
