Selected alternatives for you
    A route around Hörnum, with an almost uncharacteristic ascent for the island of 23 meters, from where you can wonderfully see "both seas" and the Hörnum lighthouse.

    From the harbor, go northwards, always in sight of the lighthouse. Right along the mudflats, you walk on a paved promenade past the Hörnum golf course to a wooden staircase. This leads up to the dune, which offers a view over the golf course, the Wadden Sea, and the Hörnum harbor. On the other side of the dune, a view of the open sea awaits you. After a small descent, you return to the center of Hörnum, always heading towards the lighthouse. Passing the church, the last part of the route leads you over stairs back to the harbor.

    Author’s recommendation

    On the way back, instead of using the path along the main road, you can cross it and cover a section along the beach.

    Safety information

    Wooden walkways at the golf course can be slippery when it rains. Please be especially careful here!

    Roadbook

    Start towards the harbor and walk past it to the Hotel Budersand, which is already visible from afar as a wooden building. From there, go right along the footpath. You now have the sea on your right and the Hörnum golf course on your left. Follow the footpath further as it circles the golf course once. You cross the dune and continue following the path until the main road. Turn left there and follow the street until you can turn left again for the first time - into Berliner Ring. Follow this street, even as its name changes to Hangstraße. Only turn left at Oberer Dünenweg. After this rise, a long stone staircase leads you back down to the harbor. From there, just a few short turns right, left, right :) and you are back at the starting point.
