Wanna is a small village in the municipality of Wurster Nordseeküste in the district of Cuxhaven. It is located directly on the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park and therefore offers a breathtaking landscape with views of the sea, dunes and mudflats. The region is known for its picturesque fishing villages, historic lighthouses and endless sandy beaches.

One of the tourist attractions is the Obereversand lighthouse from 1885, which is considered one of the tallest structures on the German North Sea coast and offers a spectacular view of the sea. The "Haus Störtebeker" museum is also highly recommended: here you can learn all about the history of the famous pirate Klaus Störtebeker.

Cultural highlights are above all the traditional festivals such as the Schützenfest in summer or Christmas markets in winter. The region has much to offer in the way of culinary delights: Be sure to try fresh seafood such as crabs or mussels!

The best outdoor activities are offered here: Hiking through the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park or cycling along the coast are very popular. Water sports such as kite surfing and sailing can also be enjoyed here.

If it rains, there is still plenty to do: Visit the swimming pool in Cuxhaven or take a guided tour of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park.

The most beautiful thing about Wanna, however, is the beach - a highlight for every traveller, especially in summer! Here you can relax and enjoy the fresh sea air. But the region also has its charm in autumn and winter with stormy beaches and cosy walks along the dyke.

Overall, Wanna is definitely worth a trip! With its breathtaking landscape, cultural highlights and culinary specialities, this small village offers everything you would expect from a perfect holiday destination.

    Eine schöne Runde, mit schönen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Nur bei Siedenteil weg oder Straße nähe Hadelner Kanal stimmt die GPX Route nicht, das sollte mal überprüft werden. Die Tour hat mir Spaß gebracht und kann ich weiterempfehlen.

    Eine sehr schöne Runde mit viel Natur. Bei 31 Grad hat es Spaß gebracht. Ich war gemütlich 4 1/2 Stunden unterwegs mit viel Pausen. Es wird fast nur auf geteerte Wege gefahren. Leider fehlte an einer T Kreuzung komplett die Beschilderung (Moorweg, Vorderstrasse, Bild 2), ohne Handy wäre man da aufgeschmissen gewesen. Die Strecke ist sonst super beschildert. Danke an das Cuxland-Tourismus Team für diese schöne Tour.

    Was war das für eine schöne Tour, Danke an Cuxland-Tourismus dafür. Wir sind sehr viel durch die Natur gefahren und haben viele Pausen gemacht, da sehr viele Picknickplätze und Bänke auf der Tour vorhanden sind. Leider war die Beschilderung an 2 Stellen überhaupt nicht vorhanden und ohne Handy wären wir dort nicht weiter gekommen, an der Ecke (Hintern See- Steinauer Straße und Selmseeweg-Bederkesaer Wiesendamm). Ansonsten war die Beschilderung Top in Ordnung. Wir freuen uns schon auf die nächste Tour von Cuxland-Tourismus, die wir fahren.
