The area was designated as a nature reserve number 10 in 1936. In the same year, a thatched bird keeper's house was built in a dune valley, which still exists today. The Jordsand Association has been responsible for maintaining the area since 1941. To prevent a sea breach, a short dike was built lengthways at the narrowest point in the south of the Odde in 1955. In 1970 the NSG was expanded.

The Amrumer Odde is around two kilometers long and an average of 150 to 200 meters wide. It mainly consists of a dune belt up to 24 meters high. The Odde was created by the Kniepsand, which migrates steadily to the east or northeast. Around 150 hectares of the Odde are designated as a nature reserve, which is looked after by the Jordsand Association. Officially it is referred to as the “Nordspitze Amrum nature reserve on the island of Amrum in the Südtondern district” or as “Amrum-Odde”. The Odde serves as a nesting place for numerous seabirds. Therefore, during breeding season it is only allowed to move around the coastline. The Odde includes a gravel-covered spit, the actual northern tip of Amrum.

The Lembecksburg is an impressive ring wall from the 9th/10th century. Century and namesake for the island village “Borigsem”, as the “settlement near the castle” is called in Frisian. With a circumference of around 450 meters and a height of up to 13 meters, the ring wall northwest of Borgsum once served as a refuge and protective castle from the Vikings. In the 14th century it came into the possession of the Holstein nobleman Klaus Lembeck. The Danish King Waldemar IV besieged Borgsum Castle in 1374 because Lembeck refused to swear allegiance to him. When the nobleman no longer saw a way out, he sank the treasures into the well and fled in a boat across the tidal creek, which at that time still connected the Borgsum Marsh with the North Sea. The Lembecksburg is now an archaeological monument. On the Lembecksburg grounds you can have a wonderful picnic in the countryside. https://www.foehr.de/ausflugstipps

During the excavations carried out in the interior of the castle in 1951/52, the ground plans of the house were uncovered and numerous potsherds, loom weights, iron implements and soapstone vessels were recovered.

On the beach under the Goting cliff there are many boulders from the Saale Ice Age that are over 200,000 years old.

Wonderfully quiet in autumn, unfortunately there are no more guided tours

Magnificent view. A visit to the Cliff Café is also recommended.

A seemingly endless beach with a touch of the Caribbean.
