General presentation
Iles frisonnes orientales
North Sea Archipelago, between beaches, dunes, villages without cars, mudflats and very slow rhythm.
To understand what Eastern Frisian Islands is, look at Norderney, Borkum and Juist. These places give you the opportunity to see a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: ferries dependent on the pools and limited cars. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Baltrum
Baltrum is the smallest of the inhabited eastern Frisian islands, with dunes, long beach and village without cars. The stay settles on the tides and ferries; once on site, everything is done on foot, in a very stripped North Sea atmosphere.
Place
Norderney
Norderney combines the atmosphere of a North Sea resort with large areas of dunes, beach and mudslides subjected to the tides. The seaside promenade shows the seaside side of the island, while the more easterly paths open to a more nude landscape, swept by the wind.
Place
Borkum
Borkum has the most maritime face of the eastern Frisian islands, with a long sandy beach, dunes swept by the wind and seaside villas around the promenade. The days alternate between swimming, walking on the estran and observing seals or birds of the Wadden Sea National Park.
Place
Juist
Juist offers a clear but fine island atmosphere, made of short perspectives and contrasts between open and intimate areas. A passage in the morning makes it possible to better perceive the organization of the places, when the space breathes and the architectural details come out better.
