Greune Stee Nature Reserve

Highlight • Forest

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.

Saturday afternoon and the best ☀️ weather

The tour led to the port of Borkum. Arriving at the harbor I was able to admire some ships. The lightship in particular was worth the trip.

After a detour over the new dyke, we returned via the Greune Stee cycle path.

Great holiday weather, what more could you want? The first bike tour on the island took us to the harbor and the beach promenade.

Our last bike ride 🚴🏻‍♀️🚴🏻‍♀️ Broom and irises have almost faded. But the heath is slowly preparing for the bloom in August #10...The pheasant could be observed undisturbed 😊 and we discovered a holiday home for Gustav #23 😅
