Reiseführer Amrum

Amrum is an excellent place for relaxation, leisure, and diverse discoveries. The North Sea island is only about 10 kilometers long and 2.5 kilometers wide, but it is large enough to offer something new to do every day, even during a longer stay – from the expansive sandy beaches with sand as fine as bird sand to the nature reserves of Amrumer Odde and Amrumer Dünen, and the bustling towns of Wittdün, Nebel, and Norddorf, especially in summer.

In this travel guide to Amrum, the authors take readers on a journey to the most beautiful spots on the island. They lead to the Amrumer Lighthouse and the Wadden Sea of the North Sea coast, to the nature reserves that serve as important refuges for birds and seals, and to the village of Nebel with its museum-converted "Öömrang Hüs" and the historic cemetery, which tells an impressive story of the lives of Amrum's seafarers from the 17th and 19th centuries.

They invite you to try delicious fish dishes at Seefohrerhus in Wittdün, matjes at Seekiste in Nebel, or a slice of Friesen cake with sea buckthorn tea at Café Schult in Norddorf. They highlight the most beautiful tours on Amrum and provide extensive background information on history, land, and people in numerous excursions.

Of course, the travel guide includes tried-and-true practical tips on travel questions from A to Z. The expanded preface features overview pages with a yearly calendar of festivals and events, route suggestions, and personal top tips from the authors. The specially highlighted tips for family-friendly or sustainable offerings and activities, as well as suggestions for special walks and bike tours across the island, facilitate good travel planning.
