The perfect region for your family holiday

East Frisia & Active

Here in East Frisia, the clocks tick a little slower … and that does you good too. We East Frisians are calm, warm-hearted and down-to-earth. No big words, but honest gestures, dry humour and a strong sense of togetherness. We help each other. We stay calm, even when the wind blows hard.
Because wind and weather are simply part of life here. East Frisian weather isn't a limitation for holiday planning, but part of the experience. Ideal for cycling along the dikes or letting the wind carry you during water sports.
Especially during storm season, the coast shows its character: powerful, rugged and impressive. For your children, this can be a real adventure; for adults, it's often a feeling of freedom.

Endless possibilities

Water

The water is part of the experience here – sometimes very close, sometimes a little further away.
Here on the North Sea, the ebb and flow of the tides set the rhythm of the day. At high tide, the sea entices little and big water lovers alike to swim, splash about, or simply dip their feet in the water. As the water recedes, the Wadden Sea adventure begins: collecting shells, wading through the mudflats, or flying a kite while the wind blows past your nose. Around Norddeich, families find plenty of options for active hours in and on the water. From a first encounter with wind and waves to a relaxed beach day. Sometimes it's enough just to watch the sea.

Craving the sea

Boat trip

Feeling the pull of the sea? From the Deichkrone, you're about a 25-minute walk to Norddeich harbour, where you can head straight into North Sea adventure. Thanks to our proximity to the coast, lovely boat trips to two East Frisian islands are real highlights of your holiday. Juist or Norderney – each island tells its own story, invites you to explore, and shows you the North Sea at its most beautiful.

Out and about, at ease

Family-friendly walks

Right outside the Deichkrone, your walk through Norddeich begins. To the water's edge, through the town, or with wide views over the sea and a fresh North Sea breeze.
With children, it's worth heading to the Norddeich seal station, or taking a detour through the spa gardens with their play and activity offerings. Short distances, plenty of fresh air, and enough space for little discoveries.
