Selected alternatives for you

    Beautiful route between the seas, through and around Kampen as well as past many impressive 

    thatched-roof houses and the black-and-white lighthouse.

    The route that starts in the center of Kampen features wooden paths with stair steps, but the impressive views from the Red Cliff towards the sea motivate you and make the approximately six kilometers pass quickly. 

    Author’s recommendation

    For those who need an extra kick, take a detour to the Uwe Düne and use the 110 steps for additional training.

    Roadbook

    Start on the pedestrian and bike path at Westerweg in Kampen heading north. Follow this path until you leave the town and then turn left onto a sandy path. Stay on this only briefly and take the second turn left again. Follow this sandy path past the Kliffende house to the Sturmhaube parking lot. Cross it and use the wooden path along the cliff. Follow this path to the Uwe Düne. At Uwe Düne, for those who want, there are 110 steps up to the observation platform with a panoramic view over the whole island. Once back down, walk a short distance towards the village, then take the next turn right and follow the narrow path until you reach the pedestrian and bike path again. Follow this until you can turn left at the lighthouse. Use this path, cross the main street, and then take the next left past the lighthouse. Before you reach the first houses of Kampen again, take the left turn, cross the main street once more, and return to the starting point on the pedestrian and bike path.
