Baltrum

The special feature of Baltrum is already apparent on arrival: The island can only be reached by ferry, which adds to the charm of the place. Due to its size, Baltrum is perfect for relaxing and switching off from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Most relevant for tourism are the sights such as the Wadden Sea with its countless animal and plant species as well as the National Park House as an information centre. The local history museum also provides insights into the history of the region.

Cultural highlights are also offered by Baltrum: the cultural programme ranges from concerts to readings by well-known authors. Also worth a visit are the numerous chapels on the island, which can offer a contemplative moment.

For culinary delights, we recommend fresh fish from the North Sea or traditional East Frisian dishes such as "kale with spelt". Local restaurants are also happy to serve regional specialities.

Outdoor activities are naturally very popular on Baltrum - whether hiking through the mudflats, cycling along the dyke or water sports of all kinds on the beach. In summer, you can also take part in a guided mudflat hike or simply relax on the beach.

If it should rain, there are indoor activities such as a visit to the local history museum or a sauna in the wellness centre.

Where is the most beautiful place on Baltrum? That's hard to say, because the island has many beautiful corners. However, a walk through the nature reserve "Ostdorf" with its dunes and the view of the sea is definitely one of them.

We hope that our travel guide for Baltrum helps you plan your next trip and wish you an unforgettable time on this enchanting North Sea island!
