Great natural landscape.

A very beautiful landscape.

Vital for people

Since its designation as a World Heritage Site in 2009, Norderney has increasingly committed itself to nature conservation to preserve its pristine natural beauty for future generations. The island thus offers a habitat where environmental awareness and appreciation for natural resources can be experienced in a practical way.

Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park "Nature vacations" like a king: Stately buildings and parks still bear witness to the fact that King George V of Hanover chose the idyllic island as his summer residence in 1836. 150 years later, modern-day rulers placed this natural paradise under the protection of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. Like all East Frisian Islands, Norderney also has a turbulent past. Wind and waves transport the sand that created the islands. They not only deposit it there, but also repeatedly carry it away. Therefore, the western ends of the islands, in particular, are secured with protective structures to protect the island villages; construction on Norderney began as early as 1857. In the east of the island, however, you can observe the free play of nature, which conjures up a fascinating, constantly changing landscape. See: https://www.stadt-norderney.de/bauen-umwelt/natio

Very beautiful paths through the dunes

The salt marshes on the promenade add further value to the area, especially since on 24 June 2010 the then Lower Saxony Minister of Economic Affairs Jörg Bode awarded the district the title of North Sea health resort, the highest level of tourist recognition, and it is important to give priority to nature here too.

Habitat between mudflats and dikes Salt marshes, like the mudflats that dry out at low tide, are part of the Wadden Sea ecosystem. They form the transition between sea and land and place very special demands on the plants and animals that live there, as they are only slightly above mean high tide and are still flooded by salt water. Despite the extreme living conditions, the salt marshes off the coastal dikes and on the southern sides of the islands have become a habitat for highly specialized communities. Around 50 bird species, for which the salt marshes serve as resting, feeding, and breeding grounds, and almost 2,000 insect species live here. They have adapted to the salt marsh plants and the regular flooding of this habitat, and some are found only here. The salt marshes are essential for bird migration across the East Atlantic. Millions of geese, ducks, and waders rest or overwinter here. They must gain weight quickly in the Wadden Sea to survive the long distances that lie ahead. Here you'll find a richly laid table.
