The "new" King's Fir is a silver fir, officially designated as the successor to the original King's Fir in 2006. It is about 80 years younger than its predecessor. The original King's Fir, a symbol of the municipality of Wingst and even part of its coat of arms, was planted in 1777 and fell victim to a storm in 1949. ​The new King's Fir is located about 600 meters south of the site of the original tree. With a height of around 38 meters and a trunk circumference of 3.9 meters, it is an impressive sight.

The Balksee lake is located in the heart of the "Balksee und Randmoore/Basmoor und Nordahner Holz" nature reserve, a virtually untouched moorland and geestrand lake area. Especially from the top, the tower offers unobstructed views over the lake, ideal for birdwatching. With a bit of luck, you might even spot sea eagles and numerous other water birds. The tower is only about 150 meters from the parking lot and is easily accessible by bike or on foot. Inside, you'll find a hut with tables and benches, perfect for a short break and picnic in the great outdoors.

At approximately 74 meters above sea level, the Silberberg is the highest natural elevation in the Wingst region and the entire Elbe-Weser triangle. At the summit, you'll find a memorial plaque commemorating the legend of the giant family "Wingis," a historic Gauss stone, a bench, a summit cross, and a summit book. The area around the Silberberg is part of the Wingst Forest, which includes nature reserves such as the Balksee lake, the Quellental valley, and moors. Many signposted circular trails lead around the Silberberg.

The tides at the mouth of the Elbe are very impressive.

The Wadden Sea is a unique ecosystem that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009. A habitat worth protecting, at whose gates lies the North Sea resort of Otterndorf. But it is not only beautiful to look at and observe. If you want to delve deeper into the Wadden Sea, the best thing to do is to go on a short, fascinating journey with experienced mudflat guides and hike a section of the mudflats.

The Wadden Sea is worth a visit.

Imposing tree, but I probably wouldn't have noticed it without the plaque. Nice to see how history is maintained here.

You can't see far from the highest point in the district of Cuxhaven. But it's still worth a visit. There are a few benches for resting at the summit.
