Around Borkum

The probably most varied and longest route on the sun island of Borkum includes a diverse range of landscapes and natural paths. Start and finish are at Bismarckstraße. The route extends over the south, north, and east lands and invites not only running but also a photo marathon. The composition of the paths consists of roughly equal shares of sandy soil, very run-friendly grassy grounds, and paved bike and road paths, making the route appear very varied. Along the way you pass, among other things, the Tüskendörsee, from which you can enjoy an excellent view from the east dyke. Then it goes on towards the east beach, which under less than optimal weather conditions may present the greatest challenge. Thus, these 8 km can feel very long in bad weather and wet sand... The reward for this ride is a nearly empty beach depending on the time of day. The view wanders between the sea and endless sand, the ear perceives the wader birds' breeding area, before you head back towards Bismarckstraße along the north beach promenade.
