Introducing Amrum & Föhr

Tiny Amrum is renowned for its fine white Kniepsand. There’s a 10km stroll from the tall lighthouse at Wittdün to the village of Norddorf, and an 8km return hike along the beach. The tourist office (04682-194 33; fax 04682-940 394; ferry landing, Wittdün) can provide accommodation information.

The ‘green isle’ of Föhr is interesting for its Frisian culture. Its main village, Wyk, boasts plenty of windmills, there are 16 northern hamlets tucked behind dikes up to 7m tall, and there’s the large 12th-century church of St Johannis in Nieblum. The Föhr information service (04681-3040; fax 04681-3068; Wyk harbour) can help with more details. There is no camping here.
