The Best Trips Around St. Peter-Ording
There is a lot to discover at the North Sea and around St. Peter-Ording in every season. In 2009, the Wadden Sea was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This makes a guided mudflat walk an absolute must on your North Sea holiday. Experience the beautiful nature and surroundings around the AALERNHÜS hotel & spa - we have compiled the best tips and events for you.
Multimar Wattforum
The Multimar Wattforum in Tönning is part of the National Park Centre and provides information about the Wadden Sea and the largest inhabitants of our planet - whales. The many aquariums provide a fascinating insight into the world of the sea, while the experimental tanks allow you to experience nature up close. Informative, educational and exciting for all ages.
Westküstenpark
The Westküstenpark (West Coast Park) is a truly special experience - especially for families: 800 animals from all over the world to meet and admire. The highlight of the Westküstenpark is the world's largest seal enclosure filled with North Sea water, with daily demonstrations and feeding. The stork breeding centre is also well worth a visit and will delight visitors of all ages.
North Sea Bernsteinmuseum
At the Bernsteinmuseum (amber museum) you can learn almost everything about the popular stone from the Harz Mountains and where it can be found on the North Sea coast. The main attraction is the inclusions cabinet, which displays 45 to 50 million year old insect inclusions. During the school holidays there are also lapidary courses for children, where they can make their own piece of jewellery from an inconspicuous rough stone.
“Dünentherme” – Thermal Baths
A wonderful bathing experience not only on cold days: the pools at the Dünentherme are filled with salt water from the North Sea, water slides invite you to play and you can feel the soothing North Sea air in the outdoor pool. Take a few laps in the wave pool or unwind in the relaxing saunas and relaxation areas.
Water Sports Centre X-H2.0
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of water sports. The 400 metre wide watersports corridor makes it easy and safe to enter the North Sea. Courses range from beginner to advanced, private tuition and children's courses. Windsurfing, kitesurfing or stand-up paddle boarding? The choice is yours.
Westerhever Lighthouse
Westerhever Lighthouse is well known from TV commercials and is one of the most popular destinations for cyclists. The lighthouse can only be reached by bike or on foot and is about 1,000 metres from the outer dike and surrounded by the National Park. From the top you have a phenomenal view over Eiderstedt and the island.
Discover the Town of Husum
Another nearby destination is the town of Husum, literally dubbed "the grey town by the sea" by its famous resident Theodor Storm in his poem "The Town". Here you can experience the perfect combination of city life, culture and shopping. For connoisseurs of Nordic cuisine, there are the Husum Crab Days.
Events
In addition to the many experiences you can book and visit on a regular basis, there are also many temporary events in St. Peter-Ording, such as the Against the Wind Marathon or the Beach Volleyball and Kite Surfing World Championships. For an up-to-date list of events, check out the St. Peter-Ording events calendar.
