October 18, 2022,Von Sankt Peter-Dorf nach Büsum

Beautiful bike tour from the Ohlsdorf campsite in Sankt Peter-Ording to Büsum via the Eidersperre, the tour is entirely on paved paths and absolutely flat. In Büsum you should eat a fish sandwich at the harbor and then eat a cake or ice cream in the Muku restaurant in the city center. In Büsum you should eat a fish sandwich …

September 25, 2022,Sankt-Peter-Ording - Büsum

Today we went from SPO to Büsum. Partly along the country road and then I'm behind the dike on to Büsum. Arrived in Büsum, so many people were shopping in the pedestrian zone. I then went down to the harbor to take crabs for those who stayed at home. Afterwards I got back on my bike and cycled back. However, …

Once Büsum family lagoon and back. Alone, without a family.

On the way there, always along the dike, first stopover at the Eider Barrage.
Then on to Büsum.

Family lagoon was full but we still found a place. Better suited for "swimming" by non-swimmers than the North Sea.
Later it got gray and dark when I took off. With the …

May 31, 2023,Tour von Garding zum Eidersperrwerk und nach Büsum

After the weather today was better than announced, we decided to go on a tour to Büsum.

We started again in Garding, drove through the world and then came to the Eidersperre - the largest German coastal protection structure. The barrage is 200 meters long and has five passages. During storm surges, the huge gates are closed.

The first big bike tour over 50 km 💪. Yes, on the North Sea, where everything is flat, you can trust yourself. It was a great day. The weather played along and the track is just great to drive and beautiful. A stay in Büsum is also worthwhile, as you can conveniently park your bike safely at the swimming pool. …

The tern attacked us because there were eggs and chicks nearby. It was right on the main path by the Eider Barrage. Luckily we were wearing a bike helmet!

Unfortunately I could only post half of the tour because my phone battery died. It was almost 100 kilometers and at the end it was quite exhausting but beautiful.
