What to Do in Horumersiel?
In 1856 a storm flood destroyed the East Frisian bathing resort in Wangerooge Island. Afterwards most of the inhabitants and tourists were relocated to Horumersiel. This was the beginning of tourism in the village. Later on Horumersiel was nominated North Sea bathing resort, more beach and bathing facilities were built, even a camping site was constructed. Meanwhile, Horumersiel boasts several wellness and health care centres, such as Wangerland Reha Klinik, Mutter-Kind-Haus Nordlicht or Friesenhörn-Nordsee-Klinik Horumersiel.
Due to its geographic location the charming village is also called a jewel at the gates to the North Sea, offering a splendid view of ocean liners, fishing cutters and sailing boats. The mile-long grassy beach is very popular among families and tourists who love to sit in the typical “strandkorb”, a roofed wicker beach chair. The well-groomed lawn attracts sunbathers. A bath in the Wadden Sea, inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List, is a pleasure completely without sand. On the beach you find a children's playground, a section reserved for dogs and a beach-owned kiosk that offers food. Enjoy one of the many activities such as kite-flying at the reserved area, observing sheep, jogging, Nordic walking, biking or horseback riding.
