Borkum is the westernmost and, at approximately 31 square kilometers, the largest of the East Frisian Islands. As one slowly lets one's gaze wander over its endless sandy beaches and the Wadden Sea toward the horizon, visitors are overcome by a touching sense of vastness and depth.
Contrast loses on Borkum the contradiction, and new connections emerge. The former spirit of discovery of fearless whalers transforms into an ambitious endeavor to find innovative ways
to preserve this unique nature. Old customs, lived in the inner circle of the islanders, are constantly enriched by refreshing sports and cultural offers for new generations. The search for peace and harmony with nature finds its counterpart in the urge to realize creative and physical energy.
Islander or explorer, relaxing bench or adventure playground, the special aura of this vast island simply offers everyone the space to live as they please.
In the middle of UNESCO World Heritage Wadden Sea Immerse yourself in a unique natural environment with a diverse flora and fauna. The seal bank with its many animal inhabitants, the Ostland or the extensive dune landscape in the direction of Hooge Hörn offer a spectacle of fantastic natural features. The seemingly endless white sandy beach not only invites you to take long, relaxing walks by the sea, it is also the largest of the seven East Frisian Islands. The wetland biotope Greune Stee and the Tüskendörsee also offer peace and relaxation away from the sand. The motto "breathe freedom" becomes reality here.
The coziness of the small island town is also known beyond the borders of East Frisia. Houses and sights dating back to the whalers' era in the 18th and 19th centuries radiate the sense of security that one would want on holiday. The promenade with its music pavilion and restaurants invites you to linger and enjoy. Accompanied by the spa music "Music & Sea", you can enjoy the most beautiful sunset on the German North Sea coast.
Do you want to feel both free and safe? We look forward to your visit to the “most beautiful sand heap in the world”.
