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.

An iconic spot on the coast overlooking the Wadden Sea.

Idyllic paths through the rarely visited "jungle" of Borkum. Beeches, birches, wet hollows with lilies, heather... currently, the brilliant gorse, simply beautiful 🤩👍

A beautiful piece of land, left to nature and criss-crossed with a few cycling and hiking trails, a place of peace.

Unique! The most beautiful island forest in the North Sea!

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".

The dune landscape of the island of Borkum is repeatedly interrupted by small mixed forests. The largest forest on the island is the "Greune Stee" (green spot). This is a typical stunted forest.

Great cycling and hiking trail. Here too, you need to drive carefully...don't speed. Hey mountain bikers, the super-wide handlebars on your vehicles are not designed for cycle paths. So it's better to stop when there's oncoming traffic or drive onto the grass to avoid accidents.
