On the (almost) direct route from Westerland, past Wenningstedt and Kampen, to Lister Harbor. The classic among cycling tours.

This tour takes you via Wenningstedt and Kampen to List. Along the route are the new Wenningstedt promenade with the Haus am Kliff (House on the Cliff), the Wenningstedt village pond, and the Denghoog megalithic tomb. You can also admire both Kampen lighthouses and the shifting dune in List. Those with a bit more time can enjoy some extensive shopping in List, take a boat tour on the Adler ships, or visit the bird hide between Kampen and List.

Directions

The tour begins at the Traveling Giant in front of the train station. From here, it goes to the Brandenburg car park. From there, we follow the cycle path parallel to the beach behind the dunes to Wenningstedt. Through Wenningstedt, we cycle past the Haus am Kliff to the village pond. Before reaching the Inselcircus grounds, we turn left towards Kampen. From here, we follow the cycle path that takes us through Kampen, past the lighthouse, along the old island railway line, through the untouched dune landscape. At Blidselbucht, we have to cross the road once and then cycle east of the road past the shifting dune to List and then to the harbor. On the way back, we stay on the paved cycle path parallel to the main road to enjoy the view over the Wadden Sea. Past the Vogelkoje (bird hide), we return to Kampen, where we cycle through the town to the Kupferkanne (copper can). From there, we pass directly the Kampen lighthouse and return to Wenningstedt. We follow the cycle path back to Alt-Westerland, where we pass the old village church of St. Niels and reach the train station.
