Husum has some truly charming alleys and nooks that enchant with their Nordic charm, colorful houses, and maritime flair. Here are the most beautiful:
1. The Schiffbrücke (Ship Bridge)
The heart of the harbor – a picturesque street with pastel-colored merchant houses, cafés, and views of the boats.
Tip: It's especially romantic here in the evenings, when the lights reflect in the harbor.
2. Großstraße & Kleine Straße
Husum's "parlor" – cobblestones, small shops, and historic gabled houses.
Particularly pretty: The "Storm Passage," a hidden passageway with boutiques and cafés.
3. Süderstraße
Frisian idyll – old brick houses, colorful doors, and flower boxes.
Here you'll find artisan shops and cozy studios.
4. Wasserreihe (Water Row)
Right by the inland harbor – a quiet street with a view of the water and typical thatched-roof houses. Insider tip: The small "boat dock" at the end – perfect for a photo with harbor flair.
5. Market Square & Norderstraße
Historic center with town hall, weekly market (Tues & Fri), and cozy cafés.
Nice detail: The old gable inscriptions on the houses.
6. Schlossstraße & Schlossgang
Quiet and elegant – leads to the castle in front of Husum with its crocus meadow (a must in spring!).
The "Schloßgang" is a small, enchanted passage with old lanterns.
7. Osterende & Westerende
Less touristy, but full of charm – here you'll find old Frisian houses with thatched roofs and cottage gardens.
Extra tip:
Off the main roads, it's worth simply strolling through the small "gangways" (like the "Rose Gang") – Husum has many hidden corners!
Bottom line: Husum's streets aren't large, but they're full of life and Nordic coziness. Perfect for a stroll with a coffee stop or some atmospheric photos! 📸☕️
