    Eigentlich kann man Wanderungen auf Juist nur 5 Sterne geben. Man wandert am Meer entlang, sieht den Hammersee, kann in der Domäne Loog einkehren oder das Inselmuseum besuchen, die Tour ist wirklich sehr vielfältig. Beim Hammersee sollte man die Erwartungen etwas einschränken. Es ist ein herrliches Vogelparadies, sicher auch deswegen, weil es dem Menschen teilweise verborgen bleibt. Auf der Südseite geht man durch einen (sehr schönen) Hohlweg, wird aber aus etwas Entfernung auf der Aussichtsplattform und der Nordseite entschädigt. Wer Vögel beobachten möchte, sollte daher sein Fernglas mitbringen.

    sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Rundtour. Am Meer entlang, durch Wald, Wiesen und Dünen. Schöne Aussichtspunkte nach Memmert und Borkum, auf die Nordsee, das Wattenmeer und den Hammersee. Überwiegend Naturbelassene Wege. Man sollte auf die Gezeiten achten, der Fußweg am Meer entlang kann nach dem Strand Übergang Hammersee überflutet sein.
