Langeoog Island Train Station

Highlight • Structure

Those who come from the ferry can use the island train or walk here from the port. But I recommend using the island train.

Hello 😉 no matter what time of day 😊 I like 😊
Beautiful but also painful day 🙈
In addition to the kilometers on Langeoog, there are still 11 km from accommodation to Bensersiel and back to that and there are bubbles pre-programmed on Chucks 🙈

Very quiet. The first half is paved. Up to the east end. Then there's a dune hiking trail and a long beach. With amber luck.

After kilometer 26, we were surprised by a violent thunderstorm at sea - we were just able to escape into a shelter, running on our last legs. Now we know what these things are for...🥴

No desire to cycle, so I hike.
If I still had the G, I'd say that was a forced march, but I don't, today it's K-O.
So the hike was a breeze, easy to manage, involved collecting trash, but without food, OH MY!
And in the end, just KO...

Today we set off to get to the furthest end of Langeoog. First, we walked towards Melkhörndüne, the highest point of Langeoog, and enjoyed the view. From there, we walked a bit through the dunes to the beach. Once there, we walked along the water to the furthest end of Langeoog and visited the Osterhook observation hut on the way. …

Fantastically beautiful route from the town of Langeoog to the east end of the island and back, combined with cycling to and from the dairy and the rest of the route as a hike. Very beautiful beaches at the east end with a view of the island of Spiekeroog, a lonely path through the dunes and an equally lonely, beautiful …
