Observation Tower

Highlight • Monument

The 15 steps won't leave you breathless on the climb. Unfortunately, you're only rewarded with a view of agricultural fields. The whole thing looks more like a hunting blind.

When descending, please BACKWARDS down; the stairs are very steep!

Katinger Watt Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The 13 km long circular walk through the "Katinger Watt" offers a beautiful hike. Lots of birds, trains and a very untypical forest area are to be discovered. The forest area at Katinger Watt is very untypical for the otherwise less wooded peninsula Eiderstedt. The forest was created only after construction of the Eider barrier from 1868 and is, certainly also due to the sandingen soil, quite light. The many water surfaces and Sielzüge offer unique image / photo opportunities. The inclusion of binoculars on the tour is highly recommended.
Beginning and end of the circular walk are in Katingersiel at the tavern Andresen, in which a stop is worthwhile.

View of the Eider mudflats from the dike

Highlight • Viewpoint

Highly recommended as a viewpoint if you walk there from the parking lot. Otherwise, the asphalt desert isn't that great and is probably too hot for dog paws in midsummer.
