There is hardly a better place to stay for a cycling tour in North Friesland than Husum. The first thing you will want to see is the tide moving in and out of the town's inland harbour. Over time, the town has grown into a small metropolis on the North Sea and leaves nothing to be desired. Be it culinary or cultural, if you want to get to know North Frisia, Husum is the perfect starting place to do so.

The first day of your cycling tour in North Friesland begins with a train ride to St. Peter-Ording. The 12-kilometre-long sandy beach is ideal for sunbathing and watching the kite surfers being pulled across the waves by the stiff breeze. The distinctive pile dwellings on the beach have existed for over 100 years, and they still serve the beach goers to this day! Back on the bike, you cycle along the coast to Westerhever. There, the famous red-and-white striped lighthouse awaits you. You will be able to see the landmark of the Eiderstedt peninsula from afar.

Take your time exploring the Nordstrand peninsula before taking the ferry to Hallig Hooge at noon. Hallig islands are small marshland islands in the Wadden Sea that are flooded several times a year. Thanks to the terps - artificial embankments - the islands can be inhabited all year round. Hooge is the second largest Hallig in the Schleswig-Holstein Wadden Sea. Visit the storm surge cinema, where you can watch the flooding of an island on the big screen. Also worth seeing: the Königspesel, an originally preserved captain's house. In the evening you return to Nordstrand. A transfer will take you back to Husum.

Today your cycle tour in North Friesland will take you to Friedrichstadt through the Südermarsch region. Leave your bike somewhere safe and stroll along the numerous canals of the Dutch town. On your way to Tönning, you will pass typical North German villages and the Hoyerswort manor house, Schleswig-Holstein's only noble estate on the west coast. Tönning is an idyllic harbour town. The Multimar Wattforum lets you explore the world of the Wadden Sea and the North Sea. Treat yourself to a hearty fish sandwich at the harbour before returning to Husum by train.

A train will take you from Husum to the island of Sylt via Niebüll. The largest North Frisian island is extremely scenic and impresses with its kilometre-long sandy beaches, cliffs, dune areas and thatched houses. The island boasts a network of over 200 kilometres of cycle paths. Ideal for a short or long cycling tour. Cycle along the former Sylt island railway line, to the Hörnum lighthouse, to the Red Cliff near Kampen, or have a fish sandwich in List, the options you can choose from are nearly endless. In the evening you return to Husum by train.

After breakfast, your cycling tour in North Friesland will be coming to an end. If you want, you can extend your stay in Husum.
