Lower Saxony North Sea

Rugged nature and beautiful beaches

Fascinating coastal communities and maritime towns, paradise-like sunshine and wild storm surges, high and low tides - this is where rugged nature meets beautiful scenery. Experience the typical Frisian culture while enjoying a crab roll in the charming cutter harbour or relax and take a break with the popular Frisian tea. Speaking of relaxing - if you're looking to recover after a long cycle tour along the North Sea coast, thalassotherapy is just the thing: high-quality treatments from the treasures of the Wadden Sea will revitalise you for your next tour. The well-developed cycle route network is perfect for getting to know the various places along the North Sea coast of Lower Saxony. It's worth taking a stroll in the evening or stopping off at a beach bar on the coast to enjoy the unique sunset.
