Beautiful tour between the seas, through and around Kampen and past many impressive 

Thatched-roof houses and the black and white lighthouse. 

The route, which begins in the center of Kampen, is challenging due to its wooden paths and steps, but the impressive views of the sea from the Red Cliff are motivating and make the six kilometers pass quickly.

Directions

Start north on the Westerweg footpath and cycle path in Kampen. Follow this path until you reach the edge of town, then turn left onto a sandy path. Stay on this path for a short while and then take the second turning to the left. Follow this sandy path past the Kliffende house to the Sturmhaube car park. Cross this road and take the wooden path along the cliff. Follow this path to the Uwe Dune. At the Uwe Dune, if you like, you can climb the 110 steps to the viewing platform, which offers a panoramic view of the entire island. Once you reach the bottom, walk a short distance towards the town, then take the next turn right and follow the narrow path until you reach the footpath and cycle path again. Follow this path until you can turn left at the lighthouse. Use this path, cross the main road, and then take the next opportunity to turn left, past the lighthouse. Before you reach the first houses of Kampen again, take the turnoff to the left, cross the main road again and return to the starting point on the footpath and cycle path.
