Vollerwiek in Eiderstedt

On the southern side of the Eiderstedt Peninsula, halfway between Tönning and St. Peter-Ording, lies the town of Vollerwiek. Situated directly on the Wadden Sea, a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site, the town stretches along the green dike line and is perfect for walking, watt hiking, and biking. Narrow streets wind through the municipality along the expansive fields all the way to the town center.

Summer Highlight

Green Swimming Area

Swimming, sunbathing, relaxing in a beach chair—your perfect North Sea vacation begins at the green swimming cove in Vollerwiek.
The unspoiled swimming cove on a green sea-dike meadow is occasionally patrolled by the DLRG and, with sandboxes, showers, a nearby restaurant, and free parking, offers the ideal conditions for a relaxing day by the water. At high tide, you can take a refreshing Bad in the North Sea; at low tide, you can explore the now-exposed mudflats.
