Wide views, salty air, and the wind in your face – the Wadden Sea offers the best conditions for active recreation. This is the goal of the communal running experience in the spectacular beach and dune landscape of the BorkumThe focus is not on athletic achievements, but on relaxed jogging with an open mind for nature along the way. As if by chance, we keep an eye out for sandpipers pecking at food, resting seagulls, or migrating geese on the horizon. Some species can perhaps be identified with the naked eye. The exact route will depend on the tide along the water's edge, with a possible detour into the Borkumthe dune landscape. It's worth stopping briefly at good observation points.
