Geographically, Wittmund is located between the cities of Wilhelmshaven and Aurich. The region is characterised by its flat topography, which is perfect for cycling tours or walks. Particularly well known are the numerous windmills that can be seen along the route.

Touristically relevant sights are plentiful here: the castle outside Husum, for example, dates back to the 16th century and impresses with its architecture as well as its historical significance. The "Alte Molkerei" (Old Dairy) museum also offers an insight into the history of the dairy trade in this region.

Cultural highlights are also plentiful - first and foremost the annual "WittMunder Kneipennacht" (WittMunder Pub Night) festival, where various bands play on different stages and attract a colourful audience.

For culinary delights, we recommend traditional East Frisian specialities such as labskaus or kale dishes - best enjoyed in a cosy pub or farm café!

The best season for outdoor activities is undoubtedly summer: whether surfing on the nearby coast, cycling through idyllic villages or hiking through nature parks - here you will find everything your adventurous heart desires. There are also plenty of opportunities in winter, such as ice skating or sledging.

If the weather doesn't cooperate, we recommend a visit to the "Wittmund weekly market" - here you will find local products and souvenirs from the region.

In conclusion, Wittmund is a destination with many facets and has something to offer for everyone. Whether you are a culture enthusiast, nature lover or bon vivant - this Travel Guide provides you with all the necessary information for an unforgettable time in Wittmund!

    Bei bestem Wetter haben wir heute zum 2ten Mal diese tolle Tour gemacht.Besonders schön sind die Wegeabschnitte an der Harle. Die Tour ist auch ohne E-Unterstützung zu machen.Aber egal wie-etwas Kondition und vor allem Sicherheit auf dem Rad braucht man schon.Wir hätten der Tour gerne 5 Sterne gegeben,aber die sehr mangelhafte Beschilderung ist schon störend.Man muss entweder mit der Onlinekarte oder mit dem Flyer des Tourismusverbandes fahren.Das finden wir sehr schade,da wir der Meinung sind, dass eine Tour,die unter einem bestimmten Namen oder Thema steht,auch durchgängig und unfehlbar ausgeschildert werden muss ( bei Wanderwegen ist dies üblich).Trotzdem eine schöne Tour,die wir bestimmt such rin drittes Mal machen werden.
