December 6, 2024,Blick auf Amrum – Oldsum Runde von Utersum

Today I walked from Utersum village towards the sea.
Went further along the dike and below.
Through the island villages back to the Utersum clinic bus stop.
From there I took the bus back to Nieblum.
The talking gravestones in the Süderende cemetery are interesting.
