Varel Harbor is located on the southern Jade Bay. The fairway leads from the German Bight across the Inner Jade and through the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park to the Varel Deep. This channel is marked with "Pricken" (prickles) and is only navigable at appropriate water levels.

The "Frisian Cathedral" is a sculpture commemorating the victims of past storm surges and a memorial to the constant threat to our coast from the sea. Its floor plan forms a cross aligned with the four cardinal directions (cloister). The bronze bell (The Frisian Woman) in the center begins to ring during hurricane-force winds, warning people of the storm and the sea—as it has done for centuries.

Ice Man Woman Topic: The Flood (Genesis 7) The ice ages were, as the Brockhaus of 1889 put it, the floods of the north. The end of the last ice age was about 10,000 years ago. The ice masses retreated from the North German lowlands and left behind boulders, stone descendants of the granite masses of Scandinavia, which were once used by our ancestors for ritual or cultic purposes. The granite sculpture at the lock to the Jade Bay, the ice man woman, looks over the dike to the north, to the place of her origins, her homeland. Standing tall between the sea and inland waters - waters that represent the two rivers of the Bible, the Euphrates and the Tigris. So He-She is both a symbol of the flood of the north and its end. Children in particular enjoy discovering a snowman, especially in summer. But how long – considering the increasing global warming – will they be able to build snowmen and snowwomen? In this respect, the sculpture is also a memorial. The snowman is dedicated to my disabled daughter Tina, who often visits him and who enjoys it. May he bring joy to all people, disabled and non-disabled alike. (Source: https://www.eckartgrenzer.de/2003/eis-mann-frau/)
