North Frisia in a Wider Context

For broader travel planning, it is worth looking at North Frisia as a region in its own right. North Frisia has 441 kilometers of coastline. The five North Frisian islands in Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park include Sylt, Föhr and Amrum; North Frisia also includes ten Halligen, distinctive landforms within the national park. The North Frisian Wadden Sea is an official nature reserve and forms part of Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea National Park. Nature watching and visitor information are also part of what North Frisia has to offer: visitors can observe a diverse bird population at Hauke-Haien-Koog, for example. Schlüttsiel Information Center has a natural history exhibition and offers guided tours of the Wadden Sea and nature conservation almost daily; in suitable weather, a tour continues along the sea dike. Two cycling routes in North Frisia differ in length: the Beltringharder Route is 27 kilometers long and starts in Lüttmoorsiel; the Stollberg-Koog Tour is 35 kilometers long and starts in Reußenköge at Amsinck House.
