Kampen Highlights

From the starting point, we follow the gravel path to the Uwe Dune and climb it. Back at the foot of the dune, we head north and walk past the Rungholt Hotel to reach the hiking trail above the Red Cliff. This leads to the parking lot at the Sturmhaube, from where we walk over the beach crossing to the beach. There, we take the opportunity to climb onto the wooden viewing platform. We then continue north along the beach until we reach the beach crossing at the beach bistro. There, we follow the path through the dunes to reach the Kampen lighthouse. From there, we follow the path back south and turn left at the Sturmhaube onto the paved hiking trail back to town. Once there, we make a short detour over the Strönwai back to the starting point.

Since the route is largely exposed to the wind, windproof clothing is recommended.

From Westerland, follow the signs towards Kampen. After entering the town, turn left at the first traffic light intersection (near Manne Pahl). Follow the street "Zur Uwe Düne" to the end and then turn right.

There are a few paid parking spaces along the Westerweg in Kampen. Alternatively, you can park at the large parking lot at Strönwai (5 minutes away).

Take SVG bus line 1. Next stop: Kampen, Mitte. The tour start is 5 minutes away.

Further information about the island town of Kampen can be found at www.kampen.de

From the Uwe Dune, you can see almost the entire island in good weather—from List Harbor to the Morsum Cliff! The 110 steps are definitely worth the climb.

The Red Cliff is in danger of collapsing, so please stay on the designated paths for your own protection and that of the island.
