We were unlucky with the weather. When the weather is nice, you can walk around the island in a few hours, and you also have time for a swim on the great beach in the north.

Today we went through a beautiful dune landscape in typical April weather in the direction of the west tower. Back then on

Arrived on Wangerooge yesterday with our son Hagen, today we headed west. Unfortunately with rain again and again, but that's what jackets are for. It was a nice first tour.

After we got really wet twice yesterday, we cleaned up our food in the evening and lo and behold: pure sunshine the next day 😃☀️☀️.

It was noticeably cooler and an extraordinarily stiff breeze awaited us, but with a partly bright blue sky we were happy to go on a leisurely tour towards the western tip.

Wangerooge, the island of my childhood. I recognized many things immediately, time seems to have stood still in many buildings and places.
We were greeted with a stiff breeze and sun. Beautiful island with flair 🤩

Today we pass the west tower and head to Klaus. There are hardly any guests there, and the beach is deserted in places.
