Büsum

Geographically, Büsum is located on a peninsula at the mouth of the river Eider and thus offers a unique location directly on the Wadden Sea. The region is known for its fresh air, impressive sunsets and kilometre-long sandy beaches.

Touristically relevant are above all the sights such as the National Park House Wattforum or also the Museum am Meer, which gives an insight into the history of Büsum. For those interested in culture, a visit to the "Perlebucht" theatre hall is worthwhile, where concerts and theatre performances take place on a regular basis.

The numerous events that take place every year are also a highlight - including, for example, the Pirate Open Air or the fish market in summer. Büsum also has a lot to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try the freshly caught fish from the region as well as other local specialities such as labskaus or kale with pinkel.

For outdoor activities, a mudflat hike at low tide or a bicycle tour along the dyke with a view of the sea are particularly suitable. Water sports enthusiasts will get their money's worth with surfing or sailing - however, this is more recommended in the summer months between May and September.

If it should rain, you can, for example, go to the adventure pool "Piraten Meer" or visit the fun and leisure centre "Sturmfrei". But whether it's sunny or rainy - Büsum is worth a visit at any time of year.

The area around Büsum harbour is particularly beautiful, where you can watch the ships and a walk along the dyke provides unforgettable impressions. A trip to the nearby island of Helgoland is also very worthwhile.
