The Wernerwald is very young, but already densely overgrown, with sometimes winding small paths and alternating wide paths. There are mostly sandy paths. I can only recommend a visit in …

Old Fishing Harbor, Cuxhaven

Highlight • Structure

The fishing port offers a nice starting point for a harbor tour, during which you can see many interesting ships that lie or have been "parked" here in the shipyard.

March 21, 2025,Fastenwandern mit Eli - mit dem Bus nach Cuxhaven und wandernd zurück nach Sahlenburg

On the 8th day of fasting, we took a bus to Cuxhaven. There, we watched the semaphore, which indicated wind speed and direction to passing ships, near the islands of Borkum (B) and Heligoland (H). At the Alte Liebe (Old Love), we threw a stone into the water to get something off our chests. Each of us threw a stone …

August 23, 2024,Wanderung in Cuxhaven

Got a day off today and a hike is always good. Cuxhaven has many beautiful sides. The Grimmershoern Bay, the beaches, the Wadden Sea, the beautiful Cuxheide and the calming Wernerwald. I think it's nice to live here. And I really appreciate what I have on my doorstep. 😊🍀🌼

July 20, 2024,Sahlenburg - Naturweg Wernerwald – Strandpromenade - Cuxhaven

I once went on holiday in Cuxhaven as a small child. What a peaceful place. I would have loved to walk further through the Wernerwald... What a charisma this forest has... Very light and sun-drenched... I thought "you can arrive here". Even if the sun or wind makes you suffer from watery eyes and a runny nose... Everything is gone... …

A very nice day on which I got to know a lot of great Smurfs.
A lot of wind around the nose and in the evening dog-tired to bed

Sunday is one of my traditional "hiking days"🥾🥾 – so why not do it on vacation? After all, it offers the opportunity to explore the area surrounding the holiday resort of Duhnen. Since, of course, other activities were planned, I once again hit the trail extremely early😁.

We took the train (Deutschlandticket) to Cuxhaven and at the end of the tour the bus line 1002 went to the starting point, s.d. we could then take the train back home.

June 19, 2023,Küstenwanderung Cuxhaven 🌊 🚢 🏖️

[RE Cuxhaven | Bus Sahlenburg, junction Seehospital]

(Tour from 02.06.2023)

Watts, endless expanse, beach, dunes, seagulls, sea, beach chairs, ships, promenade, heathland, holiday feeling... That roughly included my trip to the North Sea coast! 🌊 🚢 🏖️

Started at 7.30 am, to my delight it was still almost deserted.
As expected, this changed during the hike, and at the latest …

May 11, 2025,Von Sahlenburg/Wernerwald nach Cuxhaven

Today I took the train and bus to Sahlenburg to hike from there to Cuxhaven.

But first, I headed in the opposite direction to the Wernerwald Forest. From there, I paid €4.20 (Cuxhaven beach admission ticket) to the beach.

Just walking on the beach is strenuous, and just walking on the paved dune path isn't ideal either. The path through …
