Greetsiel is a beautiful, small town and part of the municipality of Krummhörn. There are a lot of older houses. The harbor with its shrimp cutters is particularly worth seeing. In the season, however, Greetsiel is very busy.

Today's tour included a bike ride along the coast. First to the Pilsum lighthouse ("Otto Tower"), then to Germany's tallest lighthouse in Campen.

Always along the dike.

There was a small natural beach, Rysum with its mill and church organ. The final stop was Greetsiel with its harbor, shrimp boats, and twin mills.

The East Frisia region is quite well known. But it's not so crowded, people still say hello on the way.

But there's great nature to chill out in.

It's worth visiting the small Gladmanufaktur while it's still there. The owner wants to retire. The church is usually open from shortly after 12 noon. The …
