Duhner Heide Observation Platform

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is right on the coast - between the heath and the Wadden Sea. From here you can see the island of Neuwerk very well. It's usually pretty windy up there though. ;-)

After the school enrollment ceremony, we went to Sahlenburg to watch the sunset. The light was beautiful at this time, around 7 p.m.

Hi,

Great tour today in Cuxhaven, and a bit different than usual. We visited the Duhner Heide nature reserve, and it was wonderful – well worth a visit, even in February 💝. A quick trip to the beach was a must, of course – always beautiful 😊.

Best, Conny 👋🏻

After meeting with @Tin this afternoon, we went to Sahlenburg together. First over the "lost place" of the Nordheim Foundation and then through the small coastal heath. Then we had a little refreshment and after that the sun quickly and actually very unspectacularly disappeared behind the clouds.

In Sahlenburg again. This time relatively late in the year. Still beautiful. Wind, sea and lots of coast.
