ノルドドルフアウフアムルムのおすすめランニングルート

Established in 1905, this site commemorates 32 people who washed ashore and were buried here. Only the date of their discovery is known – their names and origins remain unknown. The cemetery was redesigned in 2011 and invites quiet contemplation.

Pretty little place

Great new and old well-preserved houses can be found on the island

Unknown bodies washed ashore were intended to be given a simple but dignified burial. Between 1906 and 1969, 32 people found their final resting place in the "Cemetery of the Homeless," as this quiet place is also called. The graves are marked with simple wooden crosses bearing the date of discovery.

Norddorf (in Öömrang "Noorsaarep") is, along with Süddorf ("Sössaarep"), the oldest of Amrum's villages. Both villages were first documented in 1464, but both were already settled in prehistoric and early historical times. In 1925, a major fire destroyed many houses in the historic village center. Since then, in contrast to Nebel or Süddorf, the villagescape has been dominated by newer houses without thatched roofs.

Simply fantastic.

The Amrum Nature Center, run by Öömrang Ferian i.f., manages the island's protected area and operates a permanent natural history exhibition. Five saltwater aquariums and various stations introduce visitors to Amrum's natural environment. The sperm whale skeleton can be viewed at certain times.

The place has a lot of charm.
