Greetsiel again! Exactly 4 years ago – also in the fall – we were there. Back then, we stayed at the Gulfshof right in Greetsiel.

Always beautiful!

Komoot "kindly" marked a ferry connection through Greetsiel harbor on the map for us! 😁
Today's walk was supposed to also take us to the Pilsum lighthouse, but due to the dog ban, …

Today we took advantage of the good weather in the morning and made a detour to Greetsiel. We parked a little outside so that we could walk there over the dike. On the way, a local resident spoke to us and told us about the storm surge in 1962, which he had experienced as a child. Unfortunately, we couldn't do …

Greetsiel tour in mixed weather⛅️☀️🌨🌬.

The best time to enjoy Greetsiel is autumn/winter when the weather is bad! 😏

Unfortunately, you can't get to the Pilsum lighthouse with a dog because of the sheep on the dike. The dogs can use the bathing lake for refreshment.⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pretty harbour with a growing tourist stream..... Reward for the difficult-to-walk-on dike: Kibbelinge in the fish restaurant De Beer. Recommendation from the landlady. The price/performance ratio is right here.... They say that the East Frisians have one leg shorter than the other, so they can walk better on the dike.... 😁

A nice round through the beautiful village and then along the Leyhörner Sieltief. Finally, of course, tea🙂
