One of the most popular places to visit in Kampen is the Red Cliff. A 52 metre high cliff that stretches between Kampen and Wenningstedt and has served as a landmark for seafarers for centuries.
Take a guided walk along the cliff and find out about the geological features. Even in the cold season, when the weather is slowly getting colder, such a walk in the iodised sea air is good for you. A visit at sunset is particularly recommended, as it seems as if the cliff is truly bathed in red light.
