Loop
This quiet loop leads around the car-free island of Spiekeroog in the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park. The path leads through a surprisingly green landscape with old oaks and black pines, which are typical of this island. In the salt marshes, the sea lavender blooms purple in summer, while in autumn the sea buckthorn shines with its orange berries. With a bit of luck, seals can be spotted on the sandbanks. As a recognized star island, Spiekeroog offers a clear view of the universe at night without artificial light. A visit to the old island church from 1696 is particularly worthwhile to see the image of the Virgin Mary, which is believed to have come from a ship of the Spanish Armada in 1588.
