Watt'n Dream

With 17 kilometers of the finest sandy beach, surrounded by the soft music of the sound of waves, the cry of seagulls and the rhythmic patter of horse-drawn carriages, you will find an oasis of peace without cars. Here, where nature still plays the main role, you can breathe a sigh of relief, explore the vastness of the landscape on cycling and hiking trails or spend the day relaxing on the beach.

With the rhythm of the tides, the landscape changes, revealing unique natural wonders. From endless sandy beaches that invite you to walk and build castles, to the mysterious tidal flats that can be explored at low tide. Observe numerous bird species on the salt marshes or enjoy the peace and quiet on a walk along the dune landscape. The car-free island lets you hear the silence, interrupted only by the sound of waves and the cry of seagulls. Water sports, such as sailing or windsurfing, promise active recreation, while relaxed bike rides lead through green meadows and small villages. The highlight: mudflat hikes, where you can experience the fascinating flora and fauna of the Wadden Sea up close.

Hiking through unique dune landscapes, accompanied by the melody of numerous bird species, opens up new perspectives on the flora and fauna worthy of protection. Observe seals, find amber and experience the silence of the Wadden Sea while informative display boards deepen your knowledge of this special ecology. From November to March, you can explore this trail on your own, in the summer, experts guide you through the area to protect nature.

Get to know the fascinating nature of the Wadden Sea up close in this interactive exhibition. Make friends with the 10-meter-long skeleton of a minke whale that is stranded here - affectionately known as "Waltraud". Immerse yourself in the underwater world of the North Sea. Hands-on activities invite you to explore the mysterious world of the mudflats, from the smallest microorganisms to the birds of the sky.

The Kalfamer Juist is the eastern end of the island. Similar to the west, you will also find extensive sandy areas here, but they are much greener because new dunes are being created everywhere. The Kalfamer is the youngest area of the island. Historically as exciting as it is photogenic: The Kalfamer, the eastern end of the island, is actually the remnant of a sunken island and at the same time the youngest spot on the island, because slowly but surely, Juist is migrating eastwards. Huge flocks of birds welcome you to the Kalfamer, and you can also meet one or two seals here. It's just a different world here: endless expanses of sand and sea, the horizon in view, miles away from any civilization. Pure magic!
